We came up to Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins and Pine Rose Wedding for our family friends daughter's…read morewedding on August 15th. A gorgeous woodland wedding venue in Twin Peaks, about 10 minutes from Lake Arrowhead and Lake Gregory in the San Bernardino Mountains. It features a natural amphitheater-style seating and an enchanting, rustic atmosphere. A dreamy summer forest wedding reception with rustic elegance. Every detail was so creative, planned with intention and executed to perfection! So many photo opportunities for the bride, groom and wedding party! The tables were beautifully decorated and stunning! Some tables were in full sun until later in the evening. Maybe some shade for those tables? The grazing table was beautifully crafted and they had 2 staff members adding the guests selections in a cup. Another staff member walked around with quesadilla appetizers. They also had a bar with signature drinks. Dinner was a buffet of tri-tip, salmon, mashed potatoes, green beans, Ceasar salad and rolls. The dessert table was under a rustic gazebo with a chandelier. Stunning! In the beginning of reception, part of desserts were in the sun. It would be nice if there was a way to have some shade on it for hot summer days. The DJ had many guests dancing on the dance floor and played really good music! Having an area for s'mores was a nice touch. They had the cutest rustic cabins, not far from the wedding reception area. Our adorable studio cabin ~Pine Rose~ was definitely a memorable stay! This charming studio cabin offers: * king size bed * real-wood fireplace * a unique heart-shaped tree carving * fully-equipped kitchenette * back patio with BBQ grill * front porch * across from pool, playground, games They also have cabins for families and large groups.

So hard to give an accurate rating…read more Nothing was wrong but nothing was really right either. Friendly enough when checked in. Couldn't find iron in the room and they gave us a brand new one in the box. Didn't end up using it but was nice of them. We stayed in #5 Little Cabin on the Pond. We were here for a wedding. Parked right in front of our cabin. Cute as can be. All the amenities you could want but rustic all the same. They do charge $10 for firewood. Totally unnecessary fee. We brought our own and ended up leaving most of it. Washing my dishes and taking out my garbage is for an Air BnB rental not for a resort guest. Did it anyway. The beds are short which is weird. But comfortable. Scent of cabin is redolent of fire smoke but not unpleasant, with a musty (old) undertone to it. Now for the absolutely ridiculous stairs to the bedrooms. Narrow side to side and front to back (I have small feet) and way too steep. Even though we were aware of this and were prepared, it didn't stop me from skidding on my butt down the entire staircase in the middle of the night going to the ladies room!!!!! The stairs are carpeted and should not be. They should be lined with non- skid rubber. Wedding was lovely and woodsy and whimsical and we had a great time. Not sure I'd return if in the area as it is not near enough (or on) Lake Arrowhead.

We enjoyed our time at the Bavarian Zen Den, although we probably wouldn't stay in that property…read moreagain. We did however really like the management company and would definitely consider other properties they list. The positives: We arrived to a sparklingly clean house, which is always appreciated! Everything seemed new and/or well cared for and it was decorated very tastefully and modern. There was a bottle of wine on the table for us with a welcome card which was a really nice touch! The house was very cute- the best part about it is the lovely living room and open modern kitchen with plenty of pots pans and dishes. The living room had a comfy leather couch, a fireplace which we didn't use but looked pretty and a wonderful flat screen tv with on demand movies. We also enjoyed the deck, although it's quite small (perfect for 2 but not really more than that) and had no view to speak of - but it had a great grill that we put to good use. We also loved having a code as opposed to a key to lock/unlock the door. So much easier! And I loved how organized Judy and Grant were in terms of sending emails with info, letting us know what would be there vs. what we should bring, etc. The negatives: The sleeping area was unfortunately a disappointment. We really loved the way it looked, so cozy and romantic, but...the mattress was terribly uncomfortable (a futon I think, seemed old/lumpy perhaps?). We both tossed and turned, didn't get good sleep and felt sore the next morning. The sheets were very scratchy as well, like burlap! To complicate matters, there was no air conditioning in the entire house so the sleeping area felt somewhat stuffy. They had brought us some fans when we first arrived which was nice, but they were noisy and bulky. Also, the on-demand didn't work for the tv in the sleeping area which was disappointing for us as well. Other stuff: There was a downstairs with bunk beds that we felt was kind of wasted space. If you had kids it would work, but still kind of strange because there was one set of double bunk beds and one set of singles, so if you had another couple with you, they'd have to sleep down there with the kids in the same room. If it was just kids it would be fine. At any rate, for us that space went unused. We did enjoy the little Bocce court in the back and appreciated the laundry room with laundry detergent available for use. Location: We had never been up to this area so had no idea where we wanted to be before we booked. As it turned out, we were in Twin Peaks, a short distance from Lake Arrowhead, but a drive if you wanted to go anywhere- not in walking distance to anything. Not a big deal, but we kept imagining what a treacherous drive it would be in the winter! Also, there was no place to really walk our dog or let him off leash, except to walk around the neighborhood on the roads, which were quiet and lovely, but I think we had imagined more access directly to nature where we could go hiking or just let the dog off-leash. It would have been great if the backyard had been fenced in perhaps. In general about the area: We learned that Lake Arrowhead is a private lake, so there is really no access to it unless you're staying right on the lake and the place you're staying has access. Luckily, we had two nights booked at the lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa directly after staying at the Bavarian Zen Den so we were able to enjoy it. Otherwise we would have been bummed!

I am writing this review to inform others that you do not want to waste your money with this…read morecompany. My family and I were really looking forward to this vacation and were very disappointed. For starters the home was not clean. The floors were so dingy that our socks were black after about an hour. Also all the furniture was very old. Some pieces from the sixties or older and not in a cute nostalgic way, but bought at garage sale way. It was gross and smelled and we had to put blankets over the couch and chairs just so we felt comfortable sitting on them. The couch on the front porch had gross black stains. The dishes that they provide were covered in something sticky as though they had not been cleaned. The beds were old and the sheets felt like sand paper. Nobody slept well. I would not recommend this company to anyone, unless you want to waste your money and be uncomfortable. After driving around the area, there were much nicer places to stay and that is what we will do next time.

For 20 years I've managed my own rentals (this is the first time I've used a company) and self management was brutal. You're basically on-call 24/7 because the second a guest can't figure out the hot tub, the WiFi, the lock, or decides the forest has "too many bugs," your entire evening is gone. ‍ What I appreciate most is that they actually treats this like a partnership. They care about the guest experience as much as I do, and they're insanely responsive. I'm on the message threads with guests, so I see how they handle things in real time. Professional, calm, patient, and never reactive, even when guests are being... let's just say "creative." One thing they said early on when we onboarded really stuck with me. They told me they intentionally say "our home" when talking to guests because they want guests to feel like they're staying with people who are personally invested in their experience, not some faceless management company. And honestly, it works. You can see it in the reviews. Guests constantly mention Natalie by name because they remember her. That says a lot. People don't remember automated customer service. They remember when someone genuinely takes care of them, and she really does. They've also helped me navigate permitting, operational stuff, and all the random homeowner stress that comes with having a rental in Arrowhead. Every time I call, they answer. Every question gets handled. I trust them completely, which is not a sentence I say lightly. And yes, I initially had the same thought everyone has: "Do I really want to pay a management fee?" After working with them, absolutely yes. Worth every penny. The biggest thing they gave me was peace of mind. I don't spend my life thinking about the house anymore. They also market properties on their own website, which brings in bookings we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I basically see those as bonus bookings. Our reviews are 100% 5 stars, and a huge part of that is because of how they operate behind the scenes. I've recommended them to a ton of homeowners in Arrowhead at this point, and every single person comes back saying the same thing: "Oh thank god." Now I just go enjoy the mountain without any stress.

Lovely location, comfy, good value for money.Care on the drive, as low car bottomed out on tarmac…read moreuneven road.

We have used Leanne and her team to manage our vacation rental in Big Bear for 4.5 years and have…read morehad a wonderful experience. I am very plugged into the Big Bear rental community and have used other property managers in the past. I have also stayed as a guest in vacation rentals in Big Bear prior to owning my own. I was told years ago when we were looking for a new manager that Leanne was "best on the mountain" and after 4+ years I have to say we agree with that sentiment. She has her own properties up in Big Bear as well so she really understands what's important. She has somehow managed to form a highly effective team which is no small feat in Big Bear as it is often difficult to find hard workers! That alone is very impressive. Leanne has kept our place booked consistently these last 4 years even with all the challenges of being on the mountain (fires, blizzards, road closures, etc). If I ever reach out directly to Leanne she always responds promptly so she is very accessible to the home owners. Some of the reasons we left our last prop manager were because we were getting bad renters, last minute cancellations, and they did not support a higher end of service we wanted to provide (more amenities, personal touch, etc). With Leanne everything runs very smoothly and we have never been told they could not support what we wanted to do. I recommend Leanne all the time to others and some of my friends are also using her for their vacation rentals as well. If you are looking for a property manager I recommend interviewing 4-5 as they all vary and you want the best fit for your situation. Leanne was so easy to talk to and I read her management agreement in advance before deciding. You can learn a lot about the different PMs by reading there contracts!

I booked the "Home in Big Bear" at Sky High Cabins through Airbnb and I am leaving a review based…read moreon my experience. The home is in a nice area of Big Bear Lake and looked beautiful in the listing photos. Unfortunately, our experience was very different, particularly regarding cleanliness and comfort. We found ants around the kitchen sink, on the counter, inside board games, on the floor, and even a dead ant in the refrigerator. We also found live spiders in the bathroom and dead flies on the floor and stairs. The master bathroom shower curtain had visible mold spots. The home was also uncomfortably warm during our summer stay, making it difficult to sleep. The downstairs game room AC worked well, but the upstairs remained very warm despite setting the thermostat to 73F. There were stains on the living room sofa and scuff marks and dirt on the walls and doors. Due to the overall cleanliness concerns, we chose not to use the hot tub. Overall, the location was nice, but the cleanliness issues, insects, mold, and inadequate cooling significantly impacted our stay.
