We literally left with headaches and couldn't enjoy the nature or have a peaceful moment. It felt stressful, crowded, and exhausting instead of relaxing. A complete waste of time and money. I would NEVER recommend this boat tour to anyone.

1/5 -- Not Relaxing at All…read more I came on the Arrowhead Queen expecting a peaceful, relaxing boat ride around beautiful Lake Arrowhead. Unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. From almost the second the tour started, the captain/tour guide started talking -- and basically NEVER STOPPED. House after house after house: who owns this house, who used to live there, how much this house is worth, celebrity houses, more houses... honestly, I did not come here for a real-estate or celebrity-home tour. The narration was also extremely loud and nonstop. There wasn't even a minute here and there to just enjoy the sound of the water, look at the mountains and lake, and relax. After listening to the loud continuous talking for almost the entire ride, I actually ended up with a headache. Apparently I'm not the only person who feels this way, because other reviews mention that too much of the tour focuses on houses of rich/famous people and that the narration can be fast and difficult to enjoy. The sad part is that Lake Arrowhead itself is gorgeous. This could have been such a peaceful experience if they simply gave passengers some quiet time between the commentary. Tell us some interesting history, point out a few important places, then PLEASE stop talking for a while and let people enjoy the lake. If you love nonstop narration and hearing about who owns every house around the lake, you might enjoy it. If you're looking for a peaceful scenic boat ride where you can relax and enjoy Lake Arrowhead, I absolutely would not recommend this tour.

I was surprised how much I learned about Big Bear on this tour. Our tour guide/narrator was great!

The process of setting this trip up was super easy from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Truly, a magnificent place to unplug and connect with your loved one!!!!…read more My husband took me on a road trip for my birthday back in May. We live in Vegas, so I wanted a change of scenery . . . Big Bear it was. Took us approximately 4 1/2 hours with traffic. ***if this is your first time driving from Vegas to Big Bear, please note that you are literally driving up the mountain to get there. The road is crazy windy, so keep that in mind if you go when there's inclement weather. A quick google search led us to Big Bear Manor Jacuzzi Cabins. Very reasonably priced, and very close to Village Dr (it's where all the shopping and restaurants are). Upon check-in, we were warmly greeted with lots of tips on places to eat, and things to do. We were given cabin #12 (my favorite number) and it was perfection!! There is a covered car port next to the cottage. As you walk up to the door, there's a covered patio with a little table and chairs. When you walk in, there's a queen bed to your left with nightstands and lamps on top. To the right, there's a huge jacuzzi, working fire place (not gas, a "real" fireplace) and a tv mounted to the wall that swivels to the left and right. A little kitchenette with basic kitchen utensils, mini fridge, sink, microwave, and toaster oven. Bathroom with shower in the back. Very cozy living space!! We lucked out because it snowed a couple of the days we were there. A rarity to see when you live in Las Vegas. We took full advantage, and had a fire going 24/7!!! We can't wait to go back both with and without our kids. The fireplace lit up with just the two of us was such a romantic getaway. We also can't wait to share big bear with our children because they too are going to go crazy over being in the woods and skiing or swimming depending on what time of year we come back. And we will definitely be back!

ABSOLUTE SCAM!! we have alerted Airbnb to this however we don't want anyone else to fall for their…read morelisting. This place is a mess. We had 2 pillows for 2 beds (extras weren't available), but what looked like a handyman did show up with extra bedsheets that were rolled up in a bowl and held against his dirty clothes. The overhead light was broken, the floors were absolutely filthy, the windows were off track and couldn't stay open or lock. The hot tub, which was the main reason we rented this cabin, is cracked and peeling and was dirty on arrival. I bought cleaning supplies before I realised that the hot tub was completely unusable. When water hit the basin it threw little pieces of peeling of paint into the water. The kitchen was an absolute disaster. It was listed as a usable kitchen with lots of amenities. Upon arrival we found, 2 plates, 1 saucer, no bowls, 2 glasses (that didn't match) no wine glasses. We had to ask for wine glasses and when they arrived it was 1 wine glass, 1 champagne glass both very dirty. All of the cutlery was mismatched, dirty, and not a complete set. Dirty pots and pans were in a cabinet. There were no trash bags, a broken paper towel holder, no supplies to wash or dry dishes. However, there was a sign saying if you left dirty dishes behind they would charge you. There were also no kitchen towels or pot holders. In the bathroom, we found a broken toilet paper holder, broken bathroom mirror , 1/4 roll of toilet paper, no shampoo, conditioner, or soap. There were only three towels so we had to ask for extra towels. We were given towels with large holes that smelled. There was no bathmat, a torn shower curtain with no shower curtain liner. The hairdryer dryer was missing from the wall and when we asked for one an hour later one showed up brand new in the box obviously had just been purchased at the store. The grounds were filthy as well. Trash was everywhere as well as broken appliances stored behind and underneath other cabins. Someone lives at the facility and let their small child scream and yell even pass the quiet hours. We contacted the manager multiple times and when we gave a list of complaints, they didn't respond until before our checkout reminding us to be out on time so they're cleaning crew could access for the next person. We asked for a partial refund due to the fact the amenities listed were not there so we had to go out and purchase them, as well as the fact that we could not use the hot tub and that is the main reason we rented the place. We were told they don't trade refunds for good reviews.

We came here for a rules trip for the Revolutionary War experience. This is so well put together…read more The staff really get into character. They make it so much fun for the whole family. The different activities and they way they engage the kids it's nicely done. The jokes are hilarious for the time. The soldier's ration was a great way to give a nice experience to everyone in regards of the limitations. The ration included a small piece of corn bread, a slice of cheese, a piece or jerky maybe about and inch and an Apple. I would recommend you check the weather before coming. In the summer I suggest bringing a hat because the sun gets pretty hot. In the colder months make sure you layer and maybe even bring a beanie and bring closed toe shoes. We couldn't leave without out trying something from the kitchen. We ordered a Family chicken pot pie. Please read the full instructions before baking. I got home and was working simultaneously and I accidentally burned the top. I skipped the part were you brush the top with egg to make it brown. Instead to brown it I put it in the broiler Next time I'll be bringing and apple pie home as well. You can order ahead of time, but they ask for you to order before 11am if you want your order to be ready by the time the programs is over.
