Loved it

Cute, cozy house, everything was perfect. Things were right where they needed to be. Easy check in. Beautiful lake view, walked out on the dock to see ducks and cranes. Fish jumping out of the water. The sinks and showers get super hot very fast! Love that. Will be back again!

The cabin was very nice. We had a little mix up at the beginning because we thought the property had a usable dock for our boat, it did not, but we made the best of it. The property also had a water leak, but the property management company told us they would handle it after we left. Overall the cabin was nice and we still had fun, despite the hiccups.

Cozy Getaway!

Stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed and lake view and the quiet setting. Morning coffee watching the ducks, pelicans and cranes was a great start to the day! It is decorated just right for a "rustic" cabin feel, but with all the modern amenities; making for a great stay. Kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful. Looking forward to a return visit later in the year.

Cute cabin by the lake

We enjoyed our overnight stay here. The location right by the water is beautiful to look out on from the kitchen and upstairs bedrooms. Enjoyed being able to use the fireplace and fooseball table. Close to shops and food but not in the middle of it all. Communication was clear and timely. The initial forms and permissions beforehand were a bit much, but I also understand why when you’re near residents.

Clean, beautiful, and comfortable

The home is clean, beautiful, and very comfortable. The only downside is that the lake has dried up so much that it's a bit of a hike to get to it. But even still, we enjoyed it nonetheless! Would definitely return.

Lakefront Cabin

Vacationed in Big Bear with our adult children. It is a nice, up to date cabin with a dock and all amenities, in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We particularly loved that we were able to just step out the back porch and kayak right off the dock all week. I rated it 4 stars because the mattresses were to firm for us and the coffee maker took over 2 hours to brew. (Need a new coffee maker) We also liked that it is a short drive to the village.

At first the directions of the place was 456 had to reach out and then I was send the address of 482. It was hassle because I thought it was 456. And lots of spiders and I mean lots. Can tell it wasn’t clean for a while. But overall I enjoyed my stay

Hi Wilfredo! Thank you for your review and feedback. I checked the confirmation, and the address shows 482, so I’m not sure how you ended up at 456, our apologies for the confusion. Being in the mountains, small critters can occasionally make their way inside the home. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to host you again in the future!

Ruined trip

This review is for Cool Cabins and not for Mallard cabin. We did not book a reservation for Mallard but instead we were eventually provided with this cabin when our actual cabin was not safe to stay in upon our arrival. Although Cool Cabins said they were "very sorry" they put the blame on the cabin owner and said they had nothing to do with it. Although we rented a lakefront cabin, Cool Cabins initially tried putting us in a condo as a replacement and only after speaking with a manager did they provide an actual cabin. Unfortunately this was not comparable to what we rented and it ruined our trip. The rental agreement is a contract, they failed to meet their contractual obligation and we will be taking them to court. Will not use Cool Cabins again, would not recommend.

Loved that we were right on an inlet of the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the doc at sunset, but the water is full of weeds so you can't swim or fish off the dock. Which is frustrating because the fish are huge that jump out of the water. This is not a reflection of the property owners themselves just an unfortunate side effect of the water being too low for too long.

Hi Ashlee, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful lakefront setting and were able to relax on the dock while taking in the sunset. We appreciate your understanding regarding the current lake conditions. As you mentioned, the low water levels have unfortunately led to increased vegetation in some areas, which is beyond the homeowner’s control. We’re grateful for your understanding and for sharing this helpful information with future guests. Thank you for choosing Big Bear Cool Cabins, and we hope to welcome you back for another peaceful lakeside getaway!
