Our methodology gives fee transparency the largest weight, 30%, and only Destination Big Bear earns top credit for it, with 27%. Grizzly Vacation Rentals names “a competitive commission rate” and Bearadise says its fee is “percentage based”, and neither prints a number, so the first conversation is where their rate appears.
Big Bear Cool Cabins prints 1998, Grizzly Vacation Rentals 2014 and Wander Vacation Rentals 2019, and Big Bear Lakefront Cabins says over 20 years. Portfolio sizes printed are over 50 cabins at Lakefront, 65+ homes at DoorMat Vacation Rentals and over 30 at Wander. Big Bear Lakefront Cabins at 41011 Big Bear Blvd and DoorMat at 42718 Moonridge Rd each print a street address on their own pages. Treat the free rental projection that Big Bear Vacations offers as a way to start the pricing conversation, since a projection is not a rate.

How to read this index.
Among the 9 Big Bear managers we evaluated, only Destination Big Bear publishes a management percentage on its own site; it prints 27% in an owner FAQ. Big Bear Lakefront Cabins prints a 25 to 35% range for full service managers in Big Bear that is not its own rate. Awning, a national brand, prints “starting at 10% of revenue” on its Big Bear Lake page. For the other local managers, the number has to come from a quote, so ask for the percentage and the revenue it is charged on.
In Big Bear Lake, quote only pricing lets a manager price each home separately and anchor high on a call. It also makes comparison hard, which is the point. That is why we maintain this index: 1 of 9 managers evaluated publish a rate, and the rest are recorded here as quote only with the date we checked.
No. The fee decides less than the revenue. A manager in Big Bear Lake charging more who lifts occupancy and nightly rates can net you more than a cheap one. Use this index to know the price, then push every candidate on what they would change about your listing.
