Keypad code- Online check in will be required with identification per our license with City of Big Bear. Code is sent on day of check in once the home is ready or at 4pm, whichever comes first.

Animals- We only allow a maximum of two trained dogs with non refundable pet fee. No other types of animals are allowed no exceptions. If bringing a service animal please provide the appropriate information and let us know they will be joining upon booking. Pet fee does not cover damage or extra cleaning required due to negligence.

Cleaning Fee- nonnegotiable. This covers clean linens, cleaning of bathrooms, kitchen, floors, basic balancing of spa chemicals, and basic care of the home. This does not cover left trash, excessive messes, cleaning dirty dishes. The home has deeper clean items that happen 2-3x a year.

Early check in- No guarantees will be made. We send the code when the home is ready or at 4pm, whichever comes first. Do not show up to the home until given the code. This rushes the cleaners and tends to ensure something is missed.

Late check out- No guarantees. This is based entirely on the cleaning team’s route. It is only granted night before checking out. If you’d like to guarantee checking out later, book another night. This allows you to stay a whole night or leave at any point during your reservation time. Please note, we do charge if you delay the cleaning teams by not vacating the entire property, not just the home. The cleaners will not knock to let you know they are there. Please be respectful of their time and any guest checking into the home after you.

Snow Removal- We have a snowplow on call during winter. Please be patient as they are on their own route. Our plows come out after a storm when 4+ inches fall. We do our best to shovel the entry to the home. Decks are not guaranteed to be shoveled. Shovel and a small bucket of salt is provided in the home for your convenience.

The home does have 2 cameras on at all times. They are checked periodically to ensure occupancy and car limits are adhered to. The cameras view all access points of the property.

No refund will be made for cancellation due to weather, road conditions, acts of nature, mechanical failures, electrical failures or malfunctions with spas, TVs or other equipment, or for sighting of insects, rodents, or other animals. No refunds will be made for circumstances beyond the Homeowner’s control. Rescheduling is allowed if all roads have been closed into the area for 24 hours. Chains are often required and should be always carried. They may be needed to get in or out of Big Bear or your rental. If you are uncomfortable with snow, we highly suggest trip insurance.

We generally leave you to enjoy Big Bear, unless any issues arise. We are almost always available to contact. Please use the messaging option. These messages get sent to our whole team and is the fastest way to get a hold of us.

Our family so enjoyed the many available options for enjoying a relaxing getaway! eviews cover lots, extensive outdoor areas jacuzzi and spa were so accessible & Basketball court made family fun amazing. Pros: great secluded space and layout, awesome games, beds & linens were great! Hot weather: upper great room w/o AC is manageable & brought a fan and worked the easy to open modern windows to provide great natural breeze! Room darkening shades limiting brightness but upstairs noise does travel a bit from the game room area to the downstairs. Unit has Safety Gates for stairs. *unique fun set up! All was just as described! 1 hint: pack essential: napkins, countertop spray, foil, saran wrap storage containers and a hand soap for the kitchen to be complete. Nice comfortable beds & an air mattress w/ plenty of sleeping accommodations, 4-6 kids could easily sleep in the game room if they are able to leave exciting games off at night! Loved the place! Will return Mollie was great!

We had such a fantastic stay at this Big Bear home! The location truly couldn’t have been better—perfectly situated for both a ski trip and hiking adventures. It made getting everywhere so easy, whether we were heading to the slopes or exploring nearby trails. The house itself was clean, charming, and incredibly comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything required to cook and gather as a group. The space was also generous enough for our whole crew to spread out and relax without ever feeling crowded. One of the unexpected highlights was how close we were to fun activities like the bowling alley and axe throwing—such a blast and made the trip even more memorable! The host was lovely to work with—responsive, accommodating, and made everything seamless from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, well-located spot in Big Bear!

Our friends and family had the most amazing stay at Summit Ridge! It was everything and more from the pictures. The kids loved their assigned room which had the bunk beds and the games. The back patio was such a vibe with the hot tub, sauna and fire pit with the string lights! We cooked every morning and night in the kitchen that had plenty of kitchenware and dinnerware! And the ease of walking from Snow Summit and back was a plus! Would definitely stay here again!
