Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We gathered 21 family members (three generations) to celebrate our father's 80th birthday. Big Bear Little Bear was absolutely perfect for our needs. We had plenty of space for everyone to spread out or gather together. Everyone loved the property and there was plenty of parking. The cabin is surrounded by trees, so it feels very private and peaceful, but it was a short drive to the town of Davis and Blackwater Falls State Park. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. We did a lot of cooking and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Having the separate apartment was much appreciated by my brother and sister-in-law when it was naptime for their 21-month-old son. We had an amazing time and hated to leave. Additionally, the rental agency was wonderful and the entire area is beautiful. Great experience!

Property is beautiful and the Floorplan with both buildings worked great for our family of 18. Cleaning crew needs to pay more attention to details and the deck needs some repairs.

No surprises. The only part of the whole house that didn’t look good was the deck, furniture, and railings, which looked pretty rough and weathered. Everything in the house was clean and tidy with plenty of linens for everyone. There was space for little kids to nap, older kids to play games in the basement or rollerblade in the large garage, and adults to sit on the deck or in the hot tub all at the same time. We even all fit in the living room to play games together at night! The kitchen was fully stocked with more than we needed, and there was space for everyone to eat inside or out. I also loved that every floor had a bathroom for use besides the one in the master suites, so no one had to stand in line.The staff was very responsive to every question and request that I had. A couple doors down from their office is Mamma Mia’s where we ordered yummy Italian food for takeout one night. We also loved playing miniature golf and Almost Heaven Miniature Golf in town. We left so many things in the house and places in the town untried. We just didn’t have time for everything. I just hope that we can find a place this perfect for our next reunion, or I’d be just as happy to come back here again!

We found the property description accurate. A few mild criticisms or disappointments would be: finding leaves all over the walkways and right up to the doors, gives the appearance of uncared for property so made for poor initial impressions. My thought was, for the price we paid, having at least the majority of the leaves blown off those places would have made a much better impression. Then, there were a good number of cobwebs throughout the house, which does not leave a good impression. Then finally, the single beds on the main floor, where the kitchen is, have very sharp points and edges on their bedframe. My daughter-in-law tore clothing on them and cut a finger and because they had children sleeping on those beds, they had to cover them with towels to keep the children from getting hurt.

Our party of 20 had plenty of space to enjoy ourselves. The rain showerhead in the first floor full bathroom was a treat, we had everything needed (and more) in the kitchen to prepare Thanksgiving dinner, and the cart in the garage made loading and unloading the cars much easier! Canaan never disappoints and this home provided the backdrop for a wonderful family getaway where many memories were made.

We really loved our stay at Big Bear Little Bear! The home was so comfortable with lots of space for everyone. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the outdoors, hiking, caving, and enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery. Visitors should be warned however to bring their own food as it is really difficult to find a place to dine nearby and grocery stores are hard to find and not close. Most dining establishments are open only on weekends. And be prepared to pay in cash. Disruptions in internet seem to be frequent and can cause closings. Driving long distances on unimproved roads is necessary to reach the most spectacular views and hiking. But well worth it!
