Property was nicer than it looked in the pictures! My family and I enjoyed staying here because it was so close to everything and most importantly, it was very clean. Had a ping pong table, pool table and a old classic pac man arcade that made it fun for all ages. Will definitely stay here again and recommend avantstay to friends and family. Thank you!

Very nice quiet place close to the slopes (city is very strict with parking only 4 cars allowed at all times) plenty of room to play with pool table, pingpong and nice little sledding ramp outside which is a big hit for the little ones... well equipped kitchen, bathrooms all stocked with our forgotten toiletries 😁 and very comfortable beds. hope we can stay here again next time.. 🙂

The great room is fantastic for gathering and the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. Beds are comfy, bathrooms are large, the master has a walk in closet with a door that was perfect for a baby sleeping in a pack & play (or a child who can sleep on the floor) and the whole house is clean and new. The 3rd toilet/sink bathroom was nice to have. The game room is right off the great room and has no door but is a big room with a sofa bed for 2 to sleep. It would be nice to have a curtain or some kind of barrier on that opening for sleeping but we couldn’t think of a way to do it. The game room is fun! We loved the house and the only drawback was inconsistent hot water that never got very hot. There is a tankless hot water heater and the tech who came and looked at it said there needs to be enough water flow for the water to stay hot but all the faucets and shower heads are water savers. We never took long showers and tried to figure out how to take a shower without it going cold and hot back and forth for the 4 nights we were there. The most we learned from the tech was to run plenty of water so the system will work. And the water never got very hot. We had faucets on full hot to get water that was warm enough for a shower or to wash dishes but not hot. We managed with the hearty, non-complaining family that we have but it was the thorn in this rose of a house. I hope they will add a second tank or a new one that supplies the hot water this house deserves. It’s too far to walk to Snow Summit but a quick drive to drop off and pick up if you have someone who can do that. It is a long walk. We all liked this home very much. If the hot water was consistent and HOT, and it was closer to walk to Summit, it would be perfect!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this modern, beautifully designed house. Pros: -Everything was impeccable and nicely decorated. -Plenty of blankets, towels, and dishes. -Management responded very quickly. -The neighborhood was quiet and super close to Snow Summit and town. -There was room for everyone and it had all the necessary stuff, including a small sled in the backyard. - The beds were very comfortable - Very easy to get to Cons: -The fireplace (gas) turns on with a remote control which did not work. I reported it and they did not replace the batteries, so two nights without the fireplace. -Somewhere I read that we could not park inside the garage. -There was only one small pan and one pot. -No handicap access -No jacuzzi. After being in the cold, it would be nice to soak the tired muscles in a hot tub. Other than that, the place is really nice and very close to town and the slopes. We'll probably come back to stay again and tell others about it.

This property was perfect. Loved the kitchen and the huge island. The playroom was a big hit. The interior decor has a designers touch. We will definitely look to stay here again next year.

Great weekend of buggy runs on fire trails and seeing friends. Kids enjoyed the pool table and Pac-Man . Kitchen is a welcoming entry way, and gathering area. Craftsmanship of house is superb. Will definitely keep this on the list for next year

This property was the perfect lodging for our long weekend getaway. We were a group of 2 families, each with 2 adults and 2 younger children. The booking and check in/out process were fairly easy. They sent me text notifications explaining what to do. We were able to check in earlier than the posted time and it was seamless. The property is located on a quiet street and is not far from Snow Summit and from the main boulevard, both walking distances. The house has an open concept layout and cute decor. The rooms are very spacious especially the two bathrooms. The kitchen has a very big island and this was our gathering spot while prepping and cooking our meals and eating. The kids enjoyed the game room especially with the extra toys and the video game machine. Everybody had their own beds to sleep. The bathrooms were big and had double sinks which were a plus. We were not able to use the ping pong table and the cornhole in the garage. There were only 2 minor issues that we experienced while staying at this property. The shower drain from both bathrooms needs to be looked at as water took forever to drain. We saw some ants on the sink in the master bathroom. Even though we had these issues, it wasn’t a dealbreaker for us to fuss about during our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope to return to this property next time we are in town.

The house was fine. It was actually pretty fun, but for what they are charging you can do way better - including securing a view and a jacuzzi. The proximity to both Bear Mountain and Snow Summit was great. The real problem was with WOW Rental and their process. The only thing that was streamlined was when they took my money. After that it was a slew of waivers and releases and security deposits, etc. However when I needed to communicate with them - it was only on their terms. I actually drove up form LA with no clear idea as to where I was staying, because part of their process is they don't release that until you are able to check in. I requested a 3 hour early check in on a dead Sunday and they did not bother to get back to me. When I followed up a second time they said that there was a maintenance issue and that I could not check in before 4p. okay, could I take advantage of the dead time up there and go grocery shop, or rent ski's for kids? I don't know, because they wouldn't tell me where I was staying. Proximity matters.Anyway, like I said place was fine, lacked charm and one of the reasons I went for it were the reviews - which in hindsight seemed very canned, as I think there was even one praising the jacuzzi?! It listed at $351 a night, but after all the charges they bake in it went at $600/night. And the hot water in the master BDR didn't work and it was inconsistent through out the rest of the house. I asked them to fix it and their reply was - "that's odd". Said they sent a maintenance guy out while we were skiing and he said everything was fine. It wasn't. The water made it to luke warm for 2 mins in master BDR and they had warm water for less than 5mins in other bath. I mean ya only had to stick your hand under the shower head, or any faucet to notice it was very off.Anyway, I feel like they had every chance to step up - they didn't. It was like they were following a corporate script and as someone who loves Big Bear - the lack of charm in the process is a giant miss.Don't usually post reviews of any kind and feel bad that this one is generally negative, but felt it necessary to lend some perspective to the other reviews listed for this site.

The Lazy Bear Lodge is an amazing property! My group of 8 was perfectly accommodated. The lodge is very modern and has the BEST kitchen. Cooking and making food was one of my favorite parts of my trip because of the huge kitchen. I would definitely love to book another trip here in the future. Booking was also very simple and straight forward.

The house was beautifully kept. There were minor issues - the pull out couch was broken, the stove light was out, and we could have used more water pressure in the showers (shower head problem...not pressure problem). Lastly, they turned the garage into a game room with ping pong and corn hole...but it smelled and was a bit dirty. Other than that, easy access, very clean, fully equipped kitchen, yard is perfect for the kids to play in the snow, and play room kept the kids busy and having fun inside. Overall, a really great stay.

This family friendly cabin is great for a weekend stay great location with all the amenities necessary for a stress free mini vacation

Every detail was so perfect for a family get away. The house was beyond spotless and smelled new. All the beds were so comfortable and there were extra blankets and pillows and even a pack and play. The game room was perfect. We spent time in the backyard playing cornhole and the kids played with sticks and went on a “bear hunt”. The neighborhood was quiet and inviting. The location was beyond ideal. So close to everything but far back enough to give a cabin feel. Less than 10 minutes to the marina. We rented a pontoon. Every inch of the house was so well designed and decorated. My oldest son was sad to leave and we even added an extra unplanned day. We can’t wait to come back!

This home was beautiful and very clean. Everything is new and the decor was so nice. The pool table and Pac-Man were huge hits with the kids and adults! There was a corn-hole set in garage which was also enjoyed. Pictures showed ping pong table which is not at property but so much other stuff to do. The kitchen has about everything you could need for cooking in, which we did the entire time with Covid-19 concerns. The beds were all comfortable, no complaints there. The neighborhood is also very quiet and nice and it’s minutes to anything you may want to do. We really enjoyed our trip and plan to come back to this cabin again. Thank you!!

We all had a great time at this property. It was tons of fun for everyone. We would definitely stay here again!

Very good experience. Management was awesome...thank you girls. Property is very clean. I will be coming back to Big Bear.

From the minute we walked in, we were so happy that everything was so clean and new! We had brought some kitchen gadgets from home but didn’t need to use any of them because the kitchen was fully stocked with everything. We had just enough towels, the game room was an awesome size to hang out and the grill was a plus (we made hot dogs and hamburgers). We loved the fact that there was a washer and dryer and the garage fit our car comfortably. Hands down, this is the best cabin! Can’t wait to rent it again.

We went up with three families, great time, beautiful big back yard!

This property was the best place for vacation , we spent the best Christmas ever in this beautiful and amazing property, everything was awesome and organized and clean we enjoyed a lot and for sure will come back again thank you so much from the owner of this property everything was very clean and beautiful!!!!
