Vacation Rental Description
Syrco Shalet is a real log cabin inside AND out. This cabin is rustic enough to make you feel like you are far away in the Rockies, but has enough amenities to keep it exciting and comfortable. Don’t forget your fishing pole, it is walking distance to the lake! There is a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a BBQ on the deck. The living room has a TV/VCR/DVD and a CD stereo- just in case you feel like dancing (exercising) after dinner! There is a full bath downstairs. Upstairs are the sleeping quarters-the loft area has 2 twins and a full. The 2nd sleeping area is a room accessed through the loft area and has a king with a private 1/2 bath. Each sleeping area has its own TV, so there will be no fighting over the remote! If you are restless, try relaxing in the spa. With so many options in this awesome cabin, the first thing you must do is book this cabin before someone else does!

While the property was clean and the jacquzzi hot, I did not like the fact that
there was 1. No coffee table (how hard can THAT be) 2. No dish washing
soap (some "pseudo" cleaner, I think Mr.Bubble ... gross) 3. No dish towels 4.
No napkins of ANY sort, paper or otherwise 5. No wine glasses (and I called
ahead to confirm and was told there were ... 6. Strict rules on clean up and
check out 7. Uncomfortable beds 8. Too few towels (shower / jacquzzi)
When we mentioned these things to the agent upon returning the keys,
absolutely NOTHING was said in the way of apology or even acknowledgement.
Yes... perhaps we should have called earlier with these complaints...but WHY
should we have to. The property was $600 for three nights for two people.
Not cheap.
Wish we'd gone with another company. Big Bear is nice, though. |

| Thank you for your response to our survey. Big Bear Vacations does not suply properties with paper towels, napkins or wine glasses. Some owners do stock their own properties with wine glasses as a courtesy, however, it is not required to do so. Furniture in each property varies based on the owners taste in decor and comfort. |

My wife took me here for my 30th birthday. The cabin is perfect - rustic,
woodsy style but with all the modern amenities so you're not just "ruffin it."
The fireplace and spa were the perfect ambience for chillin out and having a
few drinks. You're a mile's drive (or walk if it's Summer) from many of the
shops and the plaza where many stores and restaurants are. Couldn't have
asked for a better place! :-D |

This place was a really relaxing, peaceful, and quite location.
The log cabin feel is both in and out of the house I really enjoyed the time and effort spent in doing the upgrade to the home.
The Spa and back yard could have been better. Could have used better planning and set up.
Bedrooms were open and comfortable. The master has a ceiling fan which makes it realy nice and cool. Keeping the windows open upstairs and some down stairs keep the home with flowing air and a comfortable temp.
Close to the lake, nice walking area for pets, great front porch.
We did use the front porch for grillin.
Overall if you want a place to just relax and rest, this is the place. |

| The staff at Keller Williams Big Bear Vacations were very accomodating. When we arrived at the home we were very pleased with the exterior and location. The interior is beautiful and you can tell the homeowners cared very much about their renovation. The big disappointment was when it was time to go to sleep (after a very long day) and found that all the beds were like sleeping on box springs - HARD AS ROCKS - .We were only able to find one twin mattress pad. One son slept in a bed while the rest of us were forced to take blankets & pillows down and slept on the sofa and my husband slept in the recliner - ALL weekend. There was also a big problem with ants in the downstairs bathroom and kitchen. We were continually cleaning ants from the counters and even the toilet. The downstairs toilet did not flush properly and we had to take the tank lid off every time to stop the water. Another problem - the jacuzzi. The water was smelly and dirty. Luckily we have a jacuzzi at home and had brought some water treatment with us - we sure used it! The charcoal grill was inoperable - no propane. The small grill had holes in it and we did not feel it was safe. The rental agreement showed that towels were to be furnished. However there were none in the kitchen at all and we used face towels and paper towels to do dishes. Another odd thing was there was no coffee table or end tables in the living room. We pulled bar stools from the kitchen area to put drinks on while watching TV. Even though we encountered "challenges" we had a great weekend laughing at our little problems and making fun memories. We would not, however, choose this particular cabin home again. |

| Syrco Chalet is listed as having a charcoal bbq which is provided for the guest to use. There is a propane BBQ at the property that is not able to be used by Big Bear Vacations Guests. Beds differ greatly in softness and comfort level which is a personal preference outside of Big Bear Vacations control. Ants are very common in Big Bear. The best that can be done it to keep kitchens clean and free of water. Big Bear Vacations does its best to rid properties of ants before guest arrivals. We recommend guest inform us of issues as soon as possible so that we may rectify the situation. Spas are cleaned by our in house maintenance staff weekly or before arrivals whichever is first. Again issues can be reported to our main office to be taken care of immediately. |

We arrived late and the 'late night check-in' was easy to find and helpful.
We enjoyed the home, so what you read in the decription is what you get.
The location is so convienent - close to everything! I usually never go in the hot tubs in any rental, however, this one I did, it was very clean.
We had a terrible time with ants - maybe time of year, upstairs bathroom needs a lock - door will not stay closed.
we will be back next year,sad to say we will not use this rental service again.No communication skills - and they said we left trash behind and were going to charge us an additional fee, not true.

I took my boyfriend to this cabin for the weekend to celebrate his
birthday. It was absolutely amazing. The best part about it, for me,
was the open floor plan from the kitchen to the living/family room. I
feel like those are the two rooms that get used most in a home. This
truly was a wonderful home. The jacuzzi was hot and clean, the
fireplace was working, they had wood cut for us upon arrival. We were
able to bring our two dogs who simply loved getting away. Their
favorite part is that you could walk to the lake in less than 5 minutes.
We will most certainly be back....hopefully it is sooner than later. |

Best house that Big Bear Vacations has! |

Myself, my boyfriend and another couple were looking for a serene and relaxing New Years getaway and we found it at the Syrco Chalet! I searched long and hard online and this is the best house on the block! It has plenty of privacy and the amenities were fantastic!
The only bummer about our trip was that the upstairs toilet was EXTREMELY sensitive and clogged on the first use and stayed that way until we left 2 days later. (We called to have a plumber come, but he never showed up.) Also, the linens on the upstairs master bed were inadaquate. The sheets don't even cover the california king mattress! When it's only 40 degrees in the house, you want the mattress linens and bedspreads to cover the bed fully!
Otherwise, the fireplace was fantastic, jacuzzi was heavenly, and the whole house is beautifully appointed. We will for sure come back! When it says "fully stocked kitchen" it means with basic appliances, don't expect to find spices, extra trash bags or paper towels anywhere.
Note: Both bedrooms are upstairs and the master bathroom (shower/tub) is DOWNSTAIRS. It wasn't a problem for us, but for people who need more privacy they may need to consider that.
My only other issue is that Big Bear Vacations has a ridiculous check in/out policy. You pay huge money and you don't even get a full 24 hours in the house for the money! Check in at 4pm check out at 10am!?! No late check out? Seems a little harsh for all the money spent. |

| Thank you for your response to Unit 657, Syrco Chalet. We have tried to make the property description as precise as possible. We allow late check-outs if there is not a guest coming in on the same day. During the Christmas/New Years time frame we were sold out the entire time and therefore could not allow any late check outs. We will checkon the drain in this unit. Please come and stay with us again and you will have a great time. |

| First of all, this property has an alarm of which we were not informed. The alarm went off when we tried to enter and it took forever to get the code. This is a very pretty little cabin--I will say that much, with a full and new kitchen. However, we came with my 79 year old grandfather and nobody told us that the cabin was 2 story with a steep staircase. Needless to say, grandpa was stuck sleeping downstairs on the couch. The bathroom downstairs does not lock--no privacy. The upstairs attic/bedrooms get hot/stuffy due to lack of circulation (at least it did when we went). And the noise carries quite well into the upstairs making it difficult to sleep if there is someone downstairs. The porch is really nice; the kitchen is spacious, and like I said it's a nice little cabin if you don't mind the lack of privacy. I do wish that I knew about the alarm, the stairs, and the fact that one of the "bedrooms" upstairs is basically an open space leading to the master bedroom. Lots of parking space for the cars and it does have a jacuzzi. |

Thank your for response to our survey on Syrco Shalet Unit 657. We have verified the desription states the bedroom are upstairs. We are sorry this caused you great discomfort. We are also sorry the alarm was set at your arrival.
We will look at the lock on the downstairs bathroom and make sure there is something there. Please give us another try and we will find you a single story house that will suit you better.

| This real-wood cabin provided us with a great location in Big Bear (close to the lake/restaurants/main roads) for us to spend our fun-filled family weekend. We have two kids under the age of 5 and this cabin is perfectly located – close to everything (Pirate Ship Adventure/boat rentals just down the street, close to lake/fishing and restaurants etc…). We love to cook so this cabin was great for us because of the wonderful equipment-stocked kitchen and open floor plan. The yard was great for our kids to play in and the hot-tub provided a great end-of-day recovery session under-the-stars for us each evening before we went to bed. The beds were extremely comfortable with sleeping space upstairs…the TV in all the bedrooms is a nice touch. We loved our time in this cabin so much we didn’t want to go home. We will definitely be back…hopefully very soon. |

My wife, my 2-year old son and myself spent 5 nights a Syrco Chalet. The property was fantastic! There is a photo album that show highlights of how the owners built the property. Very talented family they have to have built such a wonderful cabin!
We spent most of the time relaxing, reading books and watching some of our favorite DVD's. We fixed popcorn, BBQ'd, made big breakfasts and sat on the porch and ate some wine and cheese. A perfect getaway to relax and "disappear" for 5-6 days.
We had a great time and look forward to renting this same property again in the future. |

| It was a wonderful cabin. Very well cared for which makes you want to treat it well too. We had such a good time and the children loved the loft area. I would recommend this property. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Some properties we have picked in the past were a let down...the pictures were of "better times" and the places were since run down. This property lived up to its pictures and much more. The area was great too! |
