| What a pleasantly surprise place to stay for the weekend. Generous space, completely equiped and well kept. The squirrels and birds in the morning sure added to our children's memories. The park across the street is a great bonus. Our children are still talking about how much fun they had at the cabin and hoping to be able to return to the same cabin soon. Ron, you are 1st class - Thank you for sharing your home. Christine and family |

We rented "A Kids Paradise" over New Years and it
worked out splendidly. We shared the house with
my extended family - we're four families with 7
kids under 10 for a total of 15 people - and it
worked out perfectly. The ample space and layout
was perfect for our kids, as they either played
upstairs out of sight, in the back bedrooms and
around us in the great room downstairs. My
newborn niece was even able to rest quietly in the
back master undisturbed. We made good use of
the upstairs game room and television as the kids
kept themselves entertained. The house was well
equipped, and the kitchen lent itself easily to
prepare all of our family meals. There's plenty of
parking as well; we were able to park our SUV,
minvan and two cars off street even with the snow.
The location is superb, right up against the woods
with sledding and hiking galore. This was our kids'
first snow experience, and we couldn't have picked
a better place for it. We sledded about 100 yards
into the woods and built snowmen in the front
yard. And we were conveniently located to town as
well, minutes from stores and downtown even with
the snow and ice.
The owners were accommodating, easy to get a
hold of and work with as well. Ron, Brad, thank you
for renting us your home! Our kids are still talking
about their Big Bear trip and we'd love to rent from
you again in the future. |

| Ron, Brad & Families: Just a note to say thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving at Paradise Pines. To start with, your mountain home is beautiful and if you could have seen the looks on our grandchildren's faces on Thursday when we woke up to a snow-covered morning, you would know why I am thanking you. Squirrels on the porch, rabbits nibling on a small area of grass not covered by snow under a pine tree-the kids were in heaven. We took a hike in the forest across the street and found a great hill for the kide to slide down with our sled. They made two snowmen in the front yard and every famly that walked by stopped to admire them. I'm sure you get the picture-the kids had the time of their lives and so did the adults. These are the times in our lives that really matter. Our family had the best Thanksgiving ever. Thanks, we'll be back. The Manzers |

My wife, son and I decided a week in Big Bear was
needed. We searched high and low for a great
property and owner to utilize. From the very
beginning of my dealings with Paradise Pines Lodge
and the owner, I can say this is a 100% class act.
Ron answered my initial request for information
within an hour. Every other correspondence was
answered as quickly. From the initial information to
the contract, everything was as advertised and
above board.
We couldn’t have been happier with the home when
we arrived. It was extremely clean, well appointed
and obviously done right. All of the details were
meticulously taken care of down to the teddy bears
on the bedding. The biggest surprise was how well
the kitchen was stocked with plates, pots/pans,
utensils and the like. I have stayed in many rental
homes and couldn’t believe how well the PPL
owners took care of everything in the kitchen.
We were sad that our week came to an end and
cannot wait to spend more time up at this cabin. It
was a great location, a wonderful cabin, and easy to
work with owners. Thank you PPL owners, and we
look forward to another wonderful vacation up
there soon.

| This cabin was great for our extended family to gather - 4 individual families - lots of space and games and fun! Worked so well for us to have one large home while still having privacy. Thanks again! |

| Paradise Pines Lodge is wonderful! It was much more than what we had expected. Our large group of 15 were accomodated very well and the kids had a blast in the jacuzzi and the game room. The owner, Ron, is very easy to work with and our deposit was returned very promptly. We will be returning for the winter ski season! |

| Wow....what a great place to stay in beautiful Big Bear. Paradise Pines had everything we could have asked for. The grandkids had a great "bunk room" and they enjoyed playing pool and air hockey. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and cooking in the well equipped kitchen, and lounging on the upstairs deck amongst the towering pines. The overall layout of the cabin gave us all of the space and privacy we needed. The location is great as well...just a short drive into town yet secluded up in the forest. We will be back again soon. |

| This is an awesome cabin that is very kid (and adult) friendly! It is very spacious and accomodated 6 adults and 6 kids (7 and under) very comfortably. The kids loved the bunkbeds in their own private rooms. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials needed to make dine-in meals. The living area has a very cozy and rustic fireplace that is nice to warm up to. There is no shortage of things to do in this cabin - the pool table, air hockey table, darts, basketball hoop, jacuzzi, and big screen TV entertained the kids for hours. The cabin's decor is rustic and cozy - just what you would expect from a mountain retreat. I would definitly recommend renting this cabin - you'll be happy you did! |

Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Paradise Pines this past weekend. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share your beautiful cabin. The cabin is spacious and fully stocked with all the amenities. Weather was unpredictable...rained and thundered off and on. But, we didn't let that interfere with our trip. Fishing was decent at Big Bear Lake. Not wide open like the Spring or Fall months, but steady enough to keep the kids happy. We loved the hiking trail across the street. We took an enjoyable long hike through the forest. The kids loved the animals that inhabit the surrounding wilderness. They saw squirrels, Blue Jays, Woodpeckers, chipmunks, rabbits, and even a small coyote. And yes, we brought lots of peanuts for the animals. We hope to share your cabin again in the future.

We had an awesome weekend! The kids roamed the
huge cabin, played air hockey, pool and chased
squirrels. Dad & I lounged on the many decks and
soaked in the hot tub. The cabin has a welcome home
feeling, great art and decor. See ya in the summer
time! |

This cabin rocks! My kids had fun roaming around
this spacious and comfortable cabin, equipped with a
pool table, air hockey and board games. Dad & I had
fun lounging on the many decks and relaxing in the
hot tub. There is lots of room for everyone, even
Grandpa! We will be back in the summer... love the
Art and woodsy decor. Five star cabin***** |
