Lovely property, lovely area, epic booking process

Property was lovely, very quiet and walking distance to Pine knot trail which was amazing. Big Bear Cool Cabins required a large amount of ID via a rather confusing booking process (involved scanning driving license and multiple forms which weve never done before for vrbos or any other type of accommodation). We really enjoyed the the property though. You are required to take your own trash to a municipal collection point about a mile away when you leave which seemed a bit weird.

The cottage lives larger than its actual size. it's clear that thought has been put into outfitting the cottage, which makes it easy to live in. Quiet, convenient neighborhood.

Mountain cabin without the clichè

Being a timber frame cabin using light wood, the cabin has a much warmer, lighter feel than so many with the dated dark wood confined feel. The main living area is bright and open with vaulted ceiling showing off the open timber. The layout is logical and flows from each room to the next. It was nicely setup with amenities and was clean and inviting. Close to the village so access to all the shops was very convenient. I do recommend this cabin.

Please change the shower head

Overall content with this cabin. Keep in mind this is a managed property, not a private residence. Did not meet expectations. The amount of documents that need to be signed were uncoordinated and not sent timely. I was unable to get the code to receive the house key until I called the service number because documents were not sent. The shower head is aimed at the shower wall, it was previously mentioned in another review, yet it has not been fixed. The queen mattress was indented and felt more like a full sized bed. The listed stated there is a coin laundry, but there is none in the cabin or on the premises. The fireplace had wood that was already burnt and they were charging way too much for a new bundle of wood. The people at the service number were kind and helpful but overall the stay could have been better coordinated.

My Stay at Big Bear Cabin

My stay at Big Bear was great! I really enjoyed it. Cabin was in a quiet neighborhood during my stay, and very close to activities. The opportunities for a better stay would be... Cleanliness. There was many spider webs in the living room area and window edges. Shower head needs replacement. It be nice to be able to use at least 1 closet for clothes. Other than that, I enjoyed my time at Big Bear.

Cute place

This place is cute, and the front room is comfortable. The bathroom, specifically the shower, needs updating. Finding were to turn on lights was challenging as the switches weren’t labeled. We were never able to get the fan in the front room to work. The utensils could use an update. Big Bear was super crowded the weekend we were there and social distancing was largely ignored.

Beautiful property nestled in the woods

Beautiful property nestled in the woods with a great trail and views accessed from the side yard. Lots of space for our family of 4 and puppy who enjoyed the enclosed deck. Well equipped. It snowed A LOT overnight so would recommend bringing a shovel to dig out in the morning if you are planning to ski/snowboard.

Cabin was great but management company not so much

We loved the cabin & location, it was a good amount of space for 4 adults and 2 dogs. My only negative feedback to provide is that you have to go to an office just so the management company can tell you the lock box code. I found this frustrating because this is something that can easily be done electronically rather than exposing more people to COVID by coming into an office. Also, the company emails out a waiver prior to arrival but it ended up in my spam so the only reason I knew not to go straight to the cabin was from other comments here. After leaving the office and heading to the cabin around 4:45pm (check in is at 4pm) we arrived at the cabin and the cleaning crew was still there. Overall this was not a great start to the weekend. Something they don't list on the listing is that yes this cabin is pet friendly but there is a fee, minimal but still something they should list upfront. Overall we enjoyed the cabin but future forward I would prefer to rent directly from owners rather than from a management company and that's what you get with this cabin.

Quiet, Comfortable with plenty to do. Loved the games.

This cabin was beautifully furnished and obviously well taken care of. It was clean and in a nice and quiet location that was also conveniently located in town. We were able to walk to restaurants, the lake and even the little convenience store. We enjoyed hiking the mountain behind the property. We enjoyed the lovely deck in the evenings and mornings.
