Perfect in Many Ways

Steps-2-Summit is a really wonderful getaway. This location is amazing, we had two families with kids of various ages and the convenience of being able to walk back and forth to Snow Summit several times a day to drop off and pick up kids was priceless. All the kids enjoyed sledding and snow ball fights across the street. I was surprised at how comfortable and accommodating the cabin was. No one in our group wanted to leave when it was time to go home! Mary Ellen went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. We are hoping to make our stay at Steps-2-Summit an annual tradition.

Perfect Family Get-Away!

We brought our children and extended family to Steps-2-Summit for a pre-Christmas reunion/get-away. Our time there could not have been more perfect. The home is nicely furnished, equipped and amended for the fun and relaxation of all ages (10 people, ages 2 to 50 in our case). We skied at Summit two days and the short walk made it easy to go on and off the slopes. Even though the Summit parking lot is only a stone's throw away, you wouldn't know there were any cars in it because of the small hill that separates it from the house. In my opinion, the house is in the perfect location for Summit. When we weren't on the slopes, we had plenty of other things to do: sledding across the road, playing pool, pingpong, and foosball, or just relaxing in front of the cozy fireplace, watching a good movie. It was nice and warm inside, showers were hot and the beds very comfortable. I got more sleep than I've had in ages. Those who know me, know that says a lot by itself.

Mary Ellen went out of her way to make sure we had a great time at Steps-2-Summit. It isn't easy for our family to schedule such events. It is an investment in time and money. But the payoff in strengthening family bonds and making memories is priceless. We look forward to making Steps-2-Summit an annual family retreat! Thank you!

Outstanding home in Big Bear

My family of 10, some from Hawaii and some from Pennsylvania decided to meet at Big Bear lake for a a family vacation. This magnificent home completely exceeded our expectations.

The location is extraordinary, the view is so beautiful. Each room is so comfortable, great beds, and the common areas are great for family gatherings. Every detail was there for us. The kitchen was perfectly appointed. The house was spotless and the amenities perfect.

The area is so wonderful for family activities, we went hiking, rented a boat and cruised the lake, we even had a family soccer game at a park near the lake. Grocery shopping is super convenient.

I am in the Luxury Hotel business and the personal touches from Mary Ellen the owner with the booking process, the confirmation, the pre arrival communication and the on site contact was absolutely beyond my expectations.

I would recommend this place to stay to anyone seeking that perfect peaceful get away.

Mahalo from Hawaii!
