La Cerena Chalet Big Bear Lake

La Cerena Chalet is an affordable 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin in lower Moonridge that is just a mile from both Bear Mountain and Snow Summit Ski Resorts and SO close to the Golf Course and nearby restaurants. Catch the shuttle bus to the slopes just across Moonridge Rd.



Warm up near the wood burning fireplace in the cozy living room with comfortable decor and Flat Screen TV with Cable. Enjoy the smells of mountain home cooking in the adjacent kitchen with table that opens to seat 7 people (with table under the stairs). The kitchen is fully equipped except there is no dishwasher. There is a full bath downstairs and handy laundry room/mudroom with full size washer and dryer at the back of the house.



The downstairs bedroom has a King bed. Upstairs, the spacious main bedroom has a king bed with TV and Cable, and the third bedroom has 2 queen beds and a twin bunk bed. The bedrooms share another full bath. A twin bed and TV for games and DVD player in the roomy alcove allows for more sleeping versatility and game playing.



The back yard is fully fenced and there is a charcoal BBQ for your use. The kids will love the extra room to make snow angels and build a snowman on the large level side yard. The backyard is also fenced in for the safety of your kids and pooch.



La Cerena Chalet is perfect for summer or winter mountain memories! Book Today!

Disliked: Cleanliness
On the positive side, the location was great. Quiet street and neighborhood close to everything, including easy walking distance to great hikes on Bristlecone Trail. Outside appeared to have been painted recently and was nice in appearance. Very spacious inside, comfortable beds with plenty of sheets and towels.On negative side, not clean with stains on carpets and walls, dust everywhere on blinds and ceiling fans, cobwebs and dead spiders and flies in all window sills, and somebody left towel and washcloths in the dryer with one washcloth appearing to have red wine stains (or bloodstains?) and a badly soiled hand towel. A floor fan was broken and useable. The kitchen pans were in complete disarray, and never found any lid for any of the frying pans. Many of the pans were well past their lifespans. Several spoons appeared to have been put down the garbage disposal with rough edges. A couple of the kitchen cabinets had loose hinges which should be repaired before one or more fall off. I'm guessing the owners are new at this and trying to cut expenses to have a positive net flow, as when we arrived for our 3-week stay there was only 1/2 roll of paper towels and maybe 5 rolls of single-ply sandpaper-like TP. Not classy, not cool. No Kleenex or paper napkins, all of which have been supplied (along with much better quality TP) at all other VRBOs where we have stayed in the past. Also, during our stay, the front doorknob fell off and a section of back fence came down.

Kinda Gross

Place had potential but clearly isn't kept up as well as it should. Spider webs, unclean carpet that smells. Only shampoo in the house with dish soap. No hand soap. Ants were all over the kitchen. Initially confusion over who was managing the property. Initially said we didn't have a reservation then finally found it. When I asked for more ant traps, no response and to be honest it wasn't clear who the person to contact was.

Absolutely Exceptional!

The property was in a great location next to the alpine zoo and though there was a slight issue at the cabin, the service was absolutely exceptional and we cannot praise them enough! Form the easy check in, quick response time and clear communication, to going above and beyond to accommodate my health needs! I even left a bag in the cabin they retrieved it for us no fuss our phone tag, that’s quality service. The service my family and I received was beyond anything I’ve never experienced or expected from a vacation rental. It doesn’t matter what property it is, my next booking in Big Bear will be with Ken and his team!

Great location, needs TLC

Plenty of space for two families with kids and dogs. Ideal location. It's a bit run down. Little hot water upstairs. Visible cobwebs on ceilings. Could be great with a little attention.

Cute place in the woods!

If you're looking for a cozy get away that has all the ambience of a pharaohs tomb, look no further! Upon entry you'll see an eccletic mix of furniture and antiques, paired with stow-away walkers and wrapping paper. This house screams, "grandma finally succumbed to her mortal coil and now we can turn her legacy into a vacation home." If you're planning on staying for more than a day, bring bug safe containers as there are ants all throughout the kitchen. If you have asthma please be advised as there is not only ceiling mold due to poorly ventilated bathrooms, but also some very serious water damage from the upstairs bathroom leaking into the gaps between floors, dripping into the kitchen. This place is everything you'd expect from a California rental, with a few added perks of endless roadway construction that has the accessible roads to home closed off. That's not the owners fault, but absolutely something that should be specified. Overall wasn't a bad stay, there was no damage to anyone, just wish we would have been more prepared for what we were walking into.

Great location and ample room

We got lucky that it snowed, we have enough space throughout the house, even though it was cold outside the heater worked great. It was a block away from a wilderness area where we got to use our personal sleds.

Quint cabin in a nice neighborhood

Property manager, Laurel was very pleasant and responded quickly. Cabin is a little on the older side but we’d definitely stay again. Only thing I wish was different was that they have a dishwasher, dinning table (or more padded bar stools) and a patios set on the porche. We’ll definitely be back!

Location was great! Cabin fit our needs.

Typical rental furniture and decor. Was pleasantly surprised to have two king beds in larger rooms and the bunks and fulls in one room was perfect for our kids. Smoke detectors were just hanging and pocket door into upstairs’ bath wouldn’t open, but all in all it worked for us.

Good location, comfortable home.

Upon arrival after dark the house seemed just what we wanted for our family of 9. The kitchen and bathrooms looked clean until you opened drawers but the worst was that the bedding and rugs were dirty and full of dog hair. We spent the first night washing all the sheets and covers. 2 of the 3 bedrooms had adequate storage but the third bedroom had none so 4 of us lived out of our suitcases for a week. Once we cleaned the entire house we made ourselves comfortable. We even had to clean the vacuum cleaner because it was packed by dirt and dog hair so it did not work properly. The heating was a bit iffy. Sometimes we got heat but upstairs at times freezing air came through the vents. The house has most everything you need; if cleaned properly it can be quite enjoyable.
