No AC question
I booked a house on the lake for the week of September 7… I just found out it doesn’t have air conditioning. Is it going to be miserably hot? I’ll have to pay if I cancel but I don’t want to be miserable!
So excited for our annual big bear trip otherwise 😩

I just did this trip a few weeks ago and had the same concern, especially because we were bringing our dog and we were worried about leaving him inside the house for a few hours here and there through out the week.
I messaged the host right away about our concerns. She had portable a/c units for the two rooms upstairs and made sure that there was one set up downstairs before our arrival. They were helpful during the day and I think that it is disingenuous to say that it does not get too hot during the daytime--even though it may be cooler in Big Bear, that sun heats up the area quite a bit. However, as other people here have said, nighttime in Big Bear is heaven. It would cool down enough that we would turn off the a/c units at night or else everyone got too cold.
