Great stay

Thank you for a great holiday weekend away for our family of four. Your place was as advertised… Very clean and comfortable and an excellent value. We also enjoyed the quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Our only suggestion is to get key codes so customers don't have to spend time picking up house keys, but besides that. We would love to stay here again someday!

The cabin was stocked with essential amenities, including towels, dish soap, body wash, shampoo, a clean refrigerator and stove, as well as pots and pans, utensils, serving spoons, and cooking spatulas. The towels were clean and plentiful for our group. The fireplace was functional, and the heater worked very well, which was appreciated given the outside temperature was around 30 degrees during our visit. However, the presence of numerous cobwebs gave the impression that the cabin may not be thoroughly cleaned between guests. It appeared that prior tenants, including ourselves, were expected to wash dishes, clean counters, and generally treat the cabin as their own.The location is a strong positive—conveniently close to snow tubing and skiing, with a short drive to downtown Big Bear Lake and nearby grocery stores.

Cute cabin

The cabin is cute and cozy. However the check in process and management company is not great. Not sure I would stay again if I had to deal with them.

Just needs a better clean

Property was great. Only complaint was that it was dirty and more lived in than pictures showed. Dirty bathroom and old dirty rugs. Couch was well lived in as well. However, that being said, it was pretty standard for Big Bear rentals. The backyard has two trees that would be perfect for a hammock... hint hint

Hello, Aimee! We are very sorry to hear about all these issues. We can assure you, we are taking the proper measurements to help improve our units and truly appreciate your feedback as this helps us too! We would love to put a hammock but for liability reasons, we cannot (Trust us we have thought of this too). We would love to have you back and hope your next vacation is right around the corner and we are able to host it as well! Thank you, Big Bear Cool Cabins

Nice for the family

Neighborhood was nice, quiet, and the weather was awesome. Fun little things to do near like horseback ridding . The main road was cute and had plenty of restaurants and shops.

Cute cabin in Big Bear

My family and I stayed here for an 8th birthday weekend for my daughter. We have 2 kids (8 & 9) and they loved having their own rooms upstairs. The price was very reasonable and upgraded kitchen was great.

Clean Cabin, Quiet Neighborhood

Overall, I enjoyed my stay in this clean, cute little cabin in Big Bear City. I had everything I needed and the neighborhood was nice and quiet (aside from a donkey one street over). I would definitely stay here again.
