ARRIVAL/PROPERTY CHECK: Walkthrough: You, the tenant, are responsible for any unreported damage to the property. Please walk through the cabin when you arrive.

Critters: Remember that Big Bear is a mountain/forest community and animals, rodents, and insects are a part of that. Your rental property is inspected before your arrival, however we cannot guarantee that the property will be free of pests. Cobwebs can materialize in a few hours and are a constant issue in the woods, and insects (dead or alive) can show up quickly in an empty home. We cannot offer credits for these situations, but contact us with any issues and we will send someone over right away.
 
Snow Removal: While we do our best to have the driveway cleared of snow (in winter) for your check-in, delays can happen if snow occurs just prior to/during your arrival or if city plows leave a berm (snow bank) blocking the driveway. We clear snow from driveways and paths to entry after 4 inches of snow accumulates. Each home is supplied with at least 1 shovel. You will be responsible for keeping areas cleared of snow during your stay. Please contact us if assistance is required. No credits can be issued due to inconvenience with snow removal.
 
SUPPLIES: Each of our cabins are supplied with clean linens on the beds, pillows, bath towels for the number of guests, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish (and dishwasher) soap, sponge, and hotel-style shampoos, soaps, and lotions. Kitchens will have a coffee maker, toaster or toaster oven, dishes, utensils, glassware, cookware, and other kitchen basics. Other supplies will vary by property. If your cabin has a spa, you may want to bring beach towels for your guests.
 
Firewood is available for use at a few homes (see home description/amenities list), but generally you will need to provide your own. We do offer purchase and delivery of small bundles of firewood that can be added to your reservation when you book. Please contact us with any questions.
 
AMENITIES: We do our absolute best to make sure that all cabin amenities (spa, game table, BBQs, TVs, internet, cable, etc) are ready and working upon your arrival. If something stops working during your stay, notify us and we will do everything possible to get it working right away. No amenity is guaranteed, and we cannot issue refunds or cancel due to an unusable amenity.
 
Please note that it may take some time for the refrigerator to cool after you add items because it was empty prior to your arrival.
 
If your property has a propane BBQ and you run out of propane, please contact us and we will bring over a full tank. If it has a charcoal BBQ, you will need to provide your own briquettes.
