Big Blue Bear Lake | Sleeps 65, MEGA home, Event Friendly, Sports Court & More!

10/10 Excellent
"We have a group of 30 that comes up every year to celebrate birthdays, this was our 14th year in a row and this was our absolute favorite house yet. The basketball court was amazing, we played for hours and it was great for the kids who scootered around while we played. There was a bed for every single guest which was awesome, and the movie theater was a hit for everyone, kids and adults. The last night there was a rain storm which was amazing because we were able to sit out on the glass covered porch and watch the rain and lightning. It was truly magical. Will definitely try to book this house next year for our 15th stay!"
