Small but Cozy

It is in fact a small studio. It was well stocked with utensils, dishes and some extras. The only issue I had was that the bed was really firm so I had a bit of trouble with sleeping but the entirety of my stay was perfect!

Perfect in every way

Great place to enjoy quiet, cool and crisp mornings surrounded by nature. We journeyed up here for the Kodiak Ultra Marathon series which takes place right downtown, just a short drive from this lovely tiny home. We brought our dog and walked him around the marina and the quiet streets enjoying the calm. The unit had fans which helped keep it cooler during the day, the kitchen was well stocked so we could cook our pre-race meals and the bed was super comfy. We would certainly rent again here.

Could use some minor touches

1. Hot water in bathroom sink had NO Handle! Easy fix.2. Put an extension cord onto outlet next to bed so that guests can easily charge their devices. (Plug closest to wall is loose).3. Put the TV on a mount that can swivel so that guests can still see TV while in kitchen/dinning.4. Front door knob sticks - bolt does not retract all the way, trapping guest.2.5/5 stars. Would be 4/5 if you'd fix these simple things.

Nice cabin

It’s a bit cold inside. Need to use all resources to stay warm. Could use a deep clean. Had issues with appliance and other safety issues they need to address. All in all I would stay again

Small but great

We loved the coziness of the cabin. Not being familiar with BBL, we probably would have preferred to stay closer to the downtown area so we could walk to meals, etc. Two suggestions: ice cube trays and you might consider replacing the bed with a sofa bed so 2 people can comfortably watch the TV where it is currently mounted and there would be more walk-around room. It is also a little uncomfortable to watch tv in bed. Also, the battery needs to be changed in the clock. Does the lady door actually live there year-round?

Great for what it is

Just like the pictures, nothing fancy but does the job. No A/C only fans which I’m sure is based on this being a mainly winter destination. It never got “hot” in the house. Hot water available, knob is backwards. Cold is hot and hot is cold on the knob. Not bad for a cheap stay!

Not a good fit for us

We did not have a great experience with this property for the following reasons:1. Once you pay for a stay, things should be EASY. Getting multiple emails from the property, signing an extensive agreement, having to upload personal information including a driver's license, and then being spammed with 'special offers' like additional nights, lift tickets, etc. is not easy.2. We figured the place would be small, but it would be better marketed as a tiny house. 3. One of the faucet handles was broken, the tv and cable were unplugged, and there was hair in the shower. Also, there was a very strong chemical smell from cleaning products.

Cute cabin

We had a rough traveling experience when big bear got 4 feet of snow. The tip was suppose to be be 2 1/2 hours and ended up being a 12 hour drive for us. We didn’t get to see much of big bear as everything was basically closed due to the snow. I gave a 4 with the communication because it was very frustrating that because there was one way into big bear open due to the weather they wouldn’t Let us move our stay to another date, this one way added on 8 hours to our drive. Also when we got to the cabin we had to keep the door open to air out the smell of the cabin, It wasn’t dirty but it did smell bad. Other then these inconvenience it wasn’t a bad stay! We wish Could have chosen a different weekend to go up there due to the weather so we could actually enjoy our stay and not spend the whole trip driving and actually had places open to enjoy.

Spring vacation stay

Quick and easy check in/check out. Cabin was equipped with all tools needed for our stay: dishes and utensils, pots and pans, soap, paper towels, etc. It was nice to know that they also were able to deliver additional supplies (including food) if needed. The location was quiet and tranquil, a great place to relax and unwind from the busy city life.
