Very comfy

The cabin was very cute and comfortable. We were there in the middle of July, so as you would expect for a property without AC, it got a little warm in the middle of the day, but fans cooked it off very quickly. Great location very close to the lake and local shops and restaurants.

Cuddle Inn perfect for us!

This cozy cabin was a perfect fit for my boyfriend and I and our dog! She loved the fully fenced big backyard to play and “hunt” squirrels. Nice deck outside too in front and back. We loved the open layout with breakfast bar, and our very favorite thing was the big mantle wood burning fireplace. We had a fire every night. Easy walk to market and the lake. Easy check in as well and great communication with staff. We are still talking about this trip and definitely coming back!

Fun Mountain Getaway

Stayed a few days over the July 4th holiday and had a great time. Check-in was quick and easy. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the extensive video library! The fenced-in backyard and front porch were great since we had our dog with us. There is no A/C but all the windows and doors have screens and the cabin stayed cool. It's about a mile from the village and we would walk in every morning for coffee. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again.

Stay

Once we checked into cabin and went inside it was extremely hot. There were no fans to use and the fridge was not that cold. Cabin was pretty cleaned but can tell no one came to check on it as there were quite a few of cob webs in a few areas of the house.

Will stay again

Great little home away from home. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots & pans. Minutes from Big Bear Village. Check In was the only frustrating part. It took maintenance almost the same amount of time to come meet us as it did for us to drive up from an hour away and they LIVE in Big Bear even though we called and gave 25 minutes notice to our impending arrival. Great backyard if you have dogs. After hours crew was helpful.

One criticism. Both beds in the second bedroom did not have fitted sheets on the beds, and the toilet bowl scrub brush was disgusting. A new one needs to be purchased.

Great cabin

This was a great cabin. It had everything we needed and it was the perfect size for the 2 of us and our dogs. The backyard was big and fenced in so the dogs could chase balls. The only problem was that the listing indicated air conditioning but there was none. It got incredibly hot inside in the afternoon (it was high 60s outside) even with all windows and doors open, fans on. Also, the carpeting is not the cleanest. Beyond that, it was all great and we would definitely return!

Great for a Weekend Away

We stayed here with our daugter and two dogs. We found the cabin to be very cozy with all that you need for a weekend getaway. Great flat snow covered backyard. Do be aware of the icey entry/backyard steps. They were caked in ice upon arrival and it took some doing to clear them. The only shovels on hand are plastic and best for removing fresh snow. Would be nice if there were sturdier metal shovels on hand for the steps and to clean up dog poops. Heater was a bit noisy and kicked on frequently - suggest turning way down overnight and bundling up. If you like big puffy pillows you may want to bring your own.

Nice cabin, poor management

The cabin is very nice and we enjoyed the stay, but the check in process was terrible. We had to go to a separate place, sign tons of forms, and were barraged with way too many emails from the company managing the process. I could barely keep track. And when we finally got there the keys were missing in the lockbox and we had to go back. PLUS - there was a large snowfall the week prior but now it was mostly slick ice everywhere. The driveway was plowed but that's it - the deck, walkway, and stairs leading to the front door were caked with ICE. No one shoveled or removed this. I had to. It was also dangerous. Last time for us.

Stayed here for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend and lab puppy and it was awesome! Perfect size for a couple or small family.

Cuddly getaway

The cabin is "cuddly" in size, but worked fine for our small family. It is in a great location for short walks to the lake, and up into the hills for sledding. You can even bypass some of the rush hour traffic on the backroads. The kids loved the bunkbeds, and the fire place, and our Labrador Retriever loved the spacious backyard and staring at the wildlife in the trees. Couple things to note about the check in process.... somehow we never received the email from Big Bear Cool Cabins (which manages the property) to let us know that we had to physically come to their office (not far away) to sign a contract. Upon reading the contract we noticed that both Snow and Garbage removal are the responsibilities of the renters. So you may want to take that into consideration when booking in the winter. The cabin could also benefit from some higher wattage light bulbs as it does not receive a lot of direct sunlight. All in all, it was a great Thanksgiving getaway and we will definitively consider this property, or another one close by, in the future.

Awesome, cozy cabin in Big Bear!

The Cuddle Inn cabin was perfect for our annual Thanksgiving getaway to Big Bear. It was cozy, clean, stocked with everything you could possibly need and conveniently located a short walk from the Village. The fenced yard was a plus since we traveled with our dog. The bed in the main bedroom was the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in and the kitchen was perfect for cooking a large meal! The fireplace in the living room was our favorite and we had a fire every night. Absolutely coming back to the Cuddle Inn. Cool Cabins was perfect to book with and handled everything expertly!
