Stay the wknd. at the cabin was amazing. My friends and I were satisfied with the space and how comfortable and cozy the cabin felt. The only thing we did not like was that the fridge was not fully working. The jacuzzi was the best part of the cabin. The neighbors were awesome. My friends and I would definitely go back.

| Thank you for your response to our survey on Kelley's Cain, unit 290. We h ave had the refrigerator checked and it appears to working. One of the altituder issues in Big Bear is refrigerators cannot be turned up in that the igher motor output overheats and quits cooling until the motor cools off. The refrigerators must be kept at mid-range or lower. Again, thank you for response and come stay with us in the future. |

Poorly maintained |

| the home was poorly maintained the chairs in the dinning room were mostlty broken, beds in all rooms were old and uncomfortable, half of my family ended up on the living room floor not only because of the beds but there was no heat on the second floor where two of the rooms are located. Our family has stayed with big bear vacations previously and had an enjoiable experiance. I encouarge all to read reviews prior to renting they are very helpful. Additionally I would not recomend this cabin nor would I STAY IN IT AGAIN. |

| Some homes in Big Bear are not equipped with central heating, if this is the case such as Kelleys Kabin, the home is usually equipped with a wall heater on the bottom level. Big Bear Vacations does encourage guests to bring extra balnkets during winter months. |

| Hi I went to Big Bear on January 8 and 9th and my group had 4 people altogether. We stayed at Kelley's Kabin #290 and we all loved it. The house was very roomy and everyone was comfortable. During the night the cabin had a heater so the house wasn't cold at all. The beds were comfy and we all enjoyed it very much. I recommend everyone to go there. We had a good time. |

| Thank you for you response to Unit 290, Kelley's Kabin. Many homes in Big Bear are not centrally heated. We do have "central heating" as an attribute search option on the internet. This home has a wall heater in the downstairs main area and a wall heater in the master bedroom. We hope this wasn't too much of a dissappointment and you still enjoyed yourself. Again, thank you for your response to our survey and please come stay with us again. |

Worst Experience Ever |

| This Cabin has 2 bedrooms upstaris and 1 downstairs and both bathrooms are right next to each other on the 1st floor. The staricase to the bedrooms has no light fixters and it is peach black and nights if you wana go to the bathroom. The mattresses on the upstair beds are very old and have the springs sticking out, will defenately give you terrible back pains. My aunt fell down the stairs middle of the night because its sooo dark. FIND ANOTHER SAFER cabin to spend your money on. |

| The cabin was nice, but rather sparse and shabby, with some broken fixtures. For less than the cost of the four day rental everything could have been corrected. |

Cute, Compact, Nice Master |
Reviewed by: Ray Bennett from Temecula California

| Nice home, near the village. Best part was the Master bedroom and large mountain style king bed. Kitchen fine. Would have liked a shower in the master bath. Big problem was fireplace. We were told to keep the fire small and the draft would work. Nothing we could do to get the draft to work, smoke filled the lower and upper level so bad (with just 1 small piece of firewood) that we opened updstairs and master bedroom windows. It was 29 degrees f outside. Wasted $14 for wood. Could not have a fire. Problem is large fireplace opening, small pipe up the chimney. Needs a broader collection cover to catch and direct the smoke up the chimney. Rental service outstanding, packets and keys pre packaged and when we left we simply turned in the keys. All beds clean, cottage clean. |

| We had a fantastic time, just wish we were there longer. My sister n law and my wife and I wanted to surprise my Brother for his 40th birthday up at Big Bear. I found your website and saw the pictures and discription of Kelley's Kabin #290 and I thought it would be perfect. When we pulled up in front the Kabin, my brother was shocked! He could not believe how nice it looked. And when we got inside, even better. We are already looking forward to the next time we stay at Big Bear and we will want to stay in Kelley's Kabin again.

Weekend Retreat |
Reviewed by: Sarah from Portland, OR
Reviewed on: 10/29/2008 for their stay in 10/2008

The cabin was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The rustic feel is great and the set up was ideal for everyone to hang out in the main living area. The location was really close to both the downtown area and the lake.
The two issues were (1) the fireplace did not draw well and we had to keep airing out the house and eventually not use it due to smoke inhalation. (2) the beds were not very comfortable.
On a side note, don't rent through the Big Bear Association. They gave us wrong descriptions of the properties and had a fairly large mark-up. We had to switch cabins when we got into town at 11PM. The direct rental company was great to work with and very helpful in resolving the mix-up. Overall we would use them again. |

| The property could use more stocking supplies in the kitchen and closets. Also the fire place needs a better ventilation system, some of the smoke came into to the cabin. The hot tub worked on one setting only and needs to be fixed for the other jets to work. |

Manager Response: September 29, 2008 |
| Thank you for your response to Kelly's Kabin Unit 290. We had our spa technician look at the spa jets. The spa should be working fine byt 9-30 unless a part needs to be ordered. The owner recently purchased more kitchen supplies and these should be okay now. The fireplace in the unit is a double-sided fireplace. The venting is working fine but if the temperature of the chimney shaft isn't hot enough before large wood is placed in the fireplace smoke will come into the house. We hope you will try us again. We have many homes to offer. |

| Thank your for responding to our survey on Kelly's Cabin. We are so sorry you had so many problems while you were here. We have fixed the bed and ordered new screens for the windows. The refrigerator is now working fine as well as the spa. I checked the description and verified a washer/dryer is not listed as an ammenity. Any housekeeping problems you incur while staying with us can be taken care while you are here but unfortunately this one was not. The high ceiling fan is now cleaned off. Our maintenance department is in the process of recauking the tub. We are sorry you experienced a dead critter in the front yard. Hopefully, you will give us an opportunity to serve you better on a future stay. Again, thank you for the review-it will allow us to give a better product to our guests. |

Not a good place to stay |
Reviewed by: Cathleen Cheng

| I think this was a worst rental house that I ever stayed. Only one kid was able to have hot water to take shower (less than 15 minute shower time). The other kid had to wait for at least 45 minutes but still not enough hot water to shower for 5 minutes. The bed sheets were consider to be not clean. The places that I stayed before usually have at least one roll of paper napin but this place had nothing. The restroom had ants too. My comments is never going to stay at this place. |

| Thank you for taking the time to do a review on Kelley’s Cabin. The hot water heater has since been repaired. Ants are part of being in the mountains certain times of the year and we do our best to keep them under control. Please contact us immediately in the future if you have any housekeeping issues as we will rectify on the spot. |
