We rented it for the forth of July weekend. It was a bit on the dirty side but I guess it is a cabin. It has several pieces on furniture that are broken and unusable. I guess that would be OK but one of the pieces was a bed and we needed it. It true that there is a spa out back but we had to clean the yard of broken beer bottles before we could use it or the backyard. I am glad we found this little surprise in the daylight with shoes on! The bottom line is I would not recommend this cabin to others. For the price there are better or at least safer ones to be had.

| We were upgraded to this cabin. I had some concern after reading the other reviews, but we didn't have any problems. There was some trash left in a bathroom, but other than that, the cabin was clean and quiet. It was a great location and the staff was courteous. |

| The home location was good but the place is a little run down and did not have sheets on all the beds. It could use a good clean up and some TLC but it served the purpose for our trip. For the price of the home for 1 night it was not a good deal. |

QUIET, RELAXING AND PET FRIENDLY |

I needed some R&R and was able to get some....was a little large for my party we could have taken a smaller place but having the fenced in yard for our dogs was wonderful even though we also did the dog walking. There were dog droppings from previous tenants so obviously they were not from California or Nevada and this was not included in the clean up...
It had some flaws (Please replace the non- working reclining chr - very uncomfortable),you could correctly fix the frame for the King size bed so box springs fit in to make bed sleepable, clean carpeted area.
All in all it was very peaceful and enjoyable had clean bedding, great pillows, clean fluffy towels and especially enjoyed the rustic decor.

Be sure to bring plates, 409 cleanser and a couch |

First off, we found a condom box and one flip-flop (right-foot) on the front porch, not the best first impression.
Cleanliness, is next to...?
The cabin was simply dirty, the carpet felt creepily alive, the kitchen table, counters and sink were grimy. I don't know if someone with stumps for hands cleaned this place but it felt like it. I salute EOE's but this is ridiculous. We took it upon ourselves to leave it cleaner than we found it. I still pray a silent prayer that the sheets were clean. Are you there God? It's me, ThickPants.
Shower:
The shower in the downstairs master bedroom was manic at best, every thirty seconds or so it would either scald me or shiver me detox-style.
Living Room:
The La-Z-Boy chair was hopelessly broken, I think too many asses belonging to frat boys or fat boys ruined it. Another item regarding seating, the couch, if you squeeze together, it will fit four people. Add in the broken/fugly recliner (which doesn't recline) and you get a total seating for five. This is great if the cabin sleeps five people, not so much when it sleeps eight. I hope you like sitting in a kitchen chair to relax on the weekends.
Sleeps 8, serves 4.75:
The theme for shorting a good portion of your eight person party continues with dinner. Seating for six, plates for three and a mix match set of various cups and glasses for five. The crazy thing, cutlery for 100's! Watch out for the silverware drawer, it will fall on you and crush your feet.
The dishwasher left suds, foam & bubbles on the floor when we ran it the first night. Don't use it, unless you want to have a Bubble Rave.
In the end, if "Shooki's #250" sounds like an experimental smear in a petri dish, then this will be the lone area that the cabin will not disappoint. |

Disappointing |

We were very upset the minute we arrived to the cabin. When we
entered, nothing was ready. All the beds were unmade, all the towels
were used and on the floors, the back door was unlocked, there was
still trash in the trash cans. I don't know why they make us wait to
check in until 3 if they're not going to have anything ready for us.
Secondly, the air hockey table was on the floor, so we had to play on
our knees because the legs on the wood had broke from previous
users. One of the beds in the first bedroom was broken, and the
kitchen drawers handles were also broken. We were not happy. |

Cute & Cozy Cabin Experience |

| Overall it was a great experience. It was very "cabin" like. Cute, cozy and decorated like your grandma's house. It was very convenient having 3 bathrooms. And the hot tub was very nice. A few things I would recommend is to provide dishwasher detergent, fix the sliding shower door in the downstairs bathroom(it kept falling off) and put a shower head on the other shower downstairs. Other than that, no complaints. Thanks for a great time! |

| We had fun, however they need to work on the cleanliness of the home. When we drove up the entire front yard and patio was covered with trash, empty bottles, etc. The carpet inside is very old and extremely dirty and stained, and should have been replaced years ago. We were told we would have one set of towels per guest but we were shorted by two entire sets. The dishes in the cupboards had crusted food and stains on them. They should have been checked prior to use checking in. Also, there was a big safety issue. I found an old peice of wood laying on the ground with about 40 rusty nails sticking out of it. Thank god I found it before one of our children fell into it or anyone stepped onto it. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and yes I did notify the management comapny of this. Further, the air hockey was fun, but the legs were missing and were just thrown up on the shelves next to it. That's not right and should have been fixed prior to use checking in. We still had a good time but I would not recommend this company as they did not take care of basic safety and cleanliness issues. |

| We only sayed at this cabin for one night which costed us $200+. At first it appeared to be a very nice place, but small issues with the jacuzzi tub,electricity, A/C, and over all cleanliness of the place made it a less pleasant stay. I recommend that every renter check the property in the presence of an agent before they commit to rent. |

Manager Response: September 29, 2008 |
| Thank you for your response to Shookies, Unit 250. The spa has been replaced. We will verify the electrical is working ok. Big Bear homes usually don't have air-conditioning (only 5% do) Night time temperatures get down to 40-50 even in the summer. We cool down the house by opening windows and turning on a fan to create a cross breeze. We are sorry this caused you an inconvenience. we have an in-house housekeeping service which cleans our homes. We are happy to respond to any housekeeping problem you encounter. Again, thank you for your response to our survey. This will help us give better client service in the future. |

| I have rented from Big bear vacations before and this home was not what I expected. You pay extra just for the jacuzzi and the water in the jacuzzi was so dirty that at first we tried to ignore it but when the water would hit your face it would taste horrible and would make your eyes water. I will not rent from Big Bear vacations again |

| Thank you for responding to our survey on Shooki's. Needless to say, we are extremely sorry you experienced a dirty spa while you were on vacation. We have a 24 hour maintenance service who could have cleaned the spa while you were. This spa has had most of it working parts replaced in the last 2 weeks. We are so sorry you don't wish to use again. Please reconsider. We want to provide our guests with a quality product and your response is helping us do that. |

Our reservation for this cabin went very smoothly and all employees were very nice at check-in and check-out. There were 5 of us so the 3 BR 3 BA worked real well for us. The completely fenced-in yard was a must since we brought our doggie (he loved "his" vacation).
This place had some problems. We attempted to use the land-line phone in the cabin to call local Big Bear restaurants. There were no written instructions...we tried "9"+number and other possibilities w/o success. So, we called the rental office (from a cell phone)and asked what to do---the gal didn't know and said she would check and get right back to us....she never called back. So we had to use our cell phones to make local calls---not good customer service.
Next was the shower in one of the smaller bedrooms (Queen bed)-----the shower head would only spray straight ahead (not down) in a forceful shot (like needles)...so this shower could not be used by the person in the adjoining bedroom. Also the same bedroom/bathroom did not have any door separating the bedroom from the bathroom!! no privacy!!
The next problem was in another bathroom (main floor)---the wall heater did not work so showering in here was a bit chilly.
The next problem was in the "master" bathroom (connected to the bedroom with the King bed). The sliding shower doors need to be totally replaced. Once you step into the shower, you must carefully close the shower door. Do not make the mistake of thinking you can move the other slider half because if you do it will come off it's rail and you'll be stuck there trying to hold this big piece of glass all naked and dripping wet.
We would not stay here again unless management could promise that all these issues had been fixed. Too bad because we really liked the roomy-ness and the layout. |

We are checking with he owner to see what we can do about the lack of a door for the queen bedroom. Our Guest Services Relations clerk should have been able to help regarding the telephone and we are sorry this wasn't the case. All the phones and the phone lines in the cabins aare supplied by the the cabins' owners. They are standard home use telehones. You should have been told that. Please allow us the opportunity to give a quality stay with us. Please call us about this stay. |
