Need update

The place is some what out dated, it needs better locks on doors and windows ( didn't feel very safe) . Also the information books are needed to be updated ( they are from 2020) We did have a great stay otherwise. I did not understand the charges, and why was I charged for propane when we did not use it? They told me that is an automatic charge. Why? The barbeque is old and ready to fall apart. The back door is not safe at all, and unfinished . The couch is old and uncomfortable and smells. The place needs a facelift.

Great cabin with large yard

The Highland Hideaway was great! It is a cozy, studio-style cabin with everything you need for a weekend in Big Bear. Our dog loved playing in the snow in the fenced yard. Big Bear Cool Cabins was very helpful and communicative. They even drove by and plowed the snow in front of our driveway after we got 11 inches of snow!

I came to the mountains to have some me time after my wife passed away a few months ago! I wanted to see the Forest and the lake and the trees and I needed a place to stay while I have this experience! Cool Cabins catered to my needs! I will definitely use them again! Thank you for providing cool cabins!

Good location

Cabin was just like the picture, nice backyard for our poochies to explore. It could use new rugs and carpet. It had a strong unpleasant smell glad I had a candle to help with that. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for our stay.

Management company is a joke

The management company that runs this listing is a joke! Had us waiting to get in our cabin for over 45 minutes and then said you have to come pick up the key from our office? Then we were doubled charged and then blamed our bank. Management is a joke with zero help and terrible attitudes I would rather slip in the snow then do business with Big Bear Cool Cabins

Comfy Little Cabin

The cabin itself was rather small but comfy..clean....and the backyard was Huge...perfect for our Furbabies..Our pups absolutely loved the backyard! The only problem with the backyard was it still had a few old piles of poopoo from the previous dogs that stayed there..we cleaned up most of the old piles and we cleaned our pups too! There were a few ants inside the cabin on the Dining table..but..a little ant spray took care of that problem... Everything inside the cabin was clean and we had everything we needed...it was a great stay...

Rustic getaway

We were looking for a space to getaway with our dog. We saw the yard and the reviews and thought okay this would work. It is centrally located and easy to get to. Everything is close as it's not a big area to begin with. This was our first stay in the Big Bear area. All in all it was a real nice stay of 3 nights. We will be back to the area. If you like to hike, fish or just breathe in fresh air, we would highly recommend the area.

Needs some upgrades.

Cool Cabins did a fantastic job of communicating, getting us checked in, and offering to remedy our concern. The back yard is very big and great for dogs. Be aware that during spring the yard will be muddy, so bring towels to wipe off the dog paws. The Hideaway is small, as described in the listing. The kitchen is sufficient to cook easy meals but more than one person in the kitchen isn't possible. The living room area is nice with comfortable chairs and couch. The dining table can seat 4, but it would be close quarters for dining. The cabin is definitely made for two people, as listed. The bathroom is small, but there is a nice shelving unit next to the sink to put your essentials. As another reviewer noted, the tub/shower has a very low ceiling. I'm 5'9" and could not shower standing up, so you'll need to get creative in "seated showering." The two things that dropped my rating are the bed itself and the fireplace. The mattress desperately needs to be replaced. You can tell just by looking at the end of the bed that it has sunk in quite a bit in the center. It felt like we were both sleeping on a hill side. When I contacted Cool Cabins, they were eager to help by providing a brand new pillow top mattress pad, but that would not have remedied the sunken middle of the bed. They then informed us that replacing the mattress is an owner's responsibility and out of their control, which I understand. The fireplace is not advertised in the listing because it is out of order. However, in looking at previous reviews, it has been out of order for 3 years. When heading to the mountains, a fireplace is the ambiance that guests are hoping to find. The fact that it hasn't been replaced and that the mattress also needs replacing, gives the feel that the owners of the cabin no longer provide funds for upkeep and Cool Cabins is doing the best they can with managing the property. I would definitely call Cool Cabins and ask if the mattress and fireplace have been upgraded before booking.
