Great cabin with wonderful lake views

The large windows on the front of the cabin really make this place what it is. It was our second stay there. Clean, spacious, and the area is very quiet on the north side of the lake. Also, walking distance to North Shore Landing if you're intending to rent a boat to go on the lake. Lastly the patio deck is very large and has a fantastic view of the lake as well as just laying out on a warm night to stargaze. Overall, a very nice place and reasonably priced.

Nice Home Needs Better Management

Very nice home in a great location. 3 gripes with management company. 1. Payment verification is over the top and a pain. E-commerce has been happening awhile now. NOBODY else is making you send drivers license and credit card via email…after they’ve already run the card! 2. Propane tank was empty and not checked by management during the last turnover. 3. Housekeeping makes the bed in a way that requires guest to strip and remake it to sleep in it. I don’t not recommend this house, but better attention to details would have made this a better stay.

Cabin was nice. It was comfortable the view of the lake was amazing! The spa had issues the length of our stay and only worked after second technician was dispatched. Sliding glass door didn't lock. And one of the windows had a latch that was broken so couldn't open to let air flow. Would be nice if there were ceiling fans since there is no ac. They were not kidding about a steep driveway! And very narrow. I wouldn't recommend for a large pickup or suv. It is right off hwy 38 kinda sketchy to try backing out on to with traffic!

I wanted to love it

Well, the property is in a very quiet area and close to the lake, but they are some things that made our stay a little bit uncomfortable. 1. No curtains on the windows. I get it, it has a gorgeous views of the lake and the mountains, but wake up with the sunlight directly on your face and cook and eat breakfast on a very sunny and hot cabin was very uncomfortable. Only the bedroom downstairs has blackout curtains, which we used when we felt like sleeping in. 2. Old cabin. Everything in the cabin is old or is missing. Old dishwasher, washing and drying machines, coffee maker. No microwave. 3. Beds and pillows. One bed upstairs was uneven making sleeping impossible. The pillows are so hard that I woke up with pain on my neck.4. Some dishes were dirty inside the cabinet, and they don't offer extra paper towels.5. Cleaning. We paid a lot to be in that cabin, but we had to leave everything clean for the next guest, and the trash must be taken to their office containers. The only good thing about the cabin is the location and the hot tub, but I think we could find that in a more affordable and upgraded home.

Disappointing Stay Despite the Beautiful Location

The cabin itself, Moonlight Shores Lakefront, is beautiful and well-located with an amazing view of the lake. We appreciated that Big Bear Cool Cabins allowed us to check in an hour early, which was a nice gesture. The cabin was equipped with a drip coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator, which were convenient for our stay. However, there were several significant issues that made our stay less enjoyable. The hot tub, which was one of the main reasons we chose this cabin, did not work for half of our stay. Not being able to use it was a huge disappointment and felt like money wasted, as I would not have paid for a cabin with a hot tub had I known it wouldn't be functional. Another concern was the lack of air conditioning. While this wasn't entirely unexpected, it became a problem due to the fact that the sliding patio door didn't have a lock. We had to keep the windows closed whenever we left the cabin to secure our belongings, which made the cabin unbearably hot during the day. This significantly impacted our ability to enjoy our time there. We were also promised a free fruit basket as part of our booking, but this was not provided. The website even mentioned the promotion during checkout, yet no basket was there when we arrived. Furthermore, there were no promotional codes on the website to allow us to apply at check out. We assumed it was just part of the package, since it was in the title. While we did receive an extended stay as compensation, it felt rather pointless given the other issues we encountered. Lastly, the internet service was very poor. While we were there to enjoy the outdoors, it would have been nice to wind down at night with a movie. Unfortunately, the unreliable internet made streaming almost impossible. Overall, while the location and the cabin itself have great potential, these issues left us feeling frustrated and disappointed. We expected more from our stay, especially given the cost and the expectations set by the amenities offered.

I wish I owned this place! Lake views for days

My son and I took a week long trip to Big Bear and took a chance with this cabin on VRBO. We looked at several properties before choosing this one and we were beyond happy with our stay. The cabin is on the quiet side of the lake in Fawnskin and has the most beautiful and breath taking views day and night of the lake. The deck was our favorite place to sit and eat, talk and enjoy the view. We watched the ducks swim and the fish jump. We rented a boat and went fishing right down the way from the cabin. Beds were comfortable and the couch was relaxing with lake views. It was Clean and had everything we needed to have an amazing and relaxing time out. If they ever decided to sell the cabin, I want first right of refusal. 😂. We will absolutely be back for many years to come. The property management company was on point and very responsive. Love it!

Wonderful Stay!

My husband and I enjoyed a four-night stay at the Moonlight Shores cabin. The cabin sits up a bit on the hill, which allows for amazing views of Big Bear Lake from the front deck. The cabin was well appointed - had everything we could have needed and was just as described. The pictures say it all. Perhaps because the cabin is on the less busy side (North Shore) of the lake, we had much privacy, peace and quiet. We had trouble (user-error) with the hot tub settings and the mgnt sent someone out to help us out. They were very responsive. We enjoyed our stay very much and definitely planning to return for a longer stay!

Thumbs down

We arrived early and were told we could check in, showed up to a car parked in the driveway and someone still inside. The only thing amazing was the outside deck. Views were nice but it’s right off the busy highway. It’s on a very steep hill so if you have trouble walking I’d stay elsewhere. The house was extremely hot, no ac !!!! House was 87 degrees even at 10 pm. Only had 2 small fans. The other big issue was the smoke alarm went off at 2am till 6:30 am,was up 30 ft high so had to wait till maintenance came. You would think for paying 3k, that management would have offered a discount for the inconvenience. They only offered a percentage discount for a future stay. Big Bear Cool Cabins dropped the ball, and I will never stay with any properties they manage. When you book on Vrbo which is a third party big bear cool cabins manages the bookings. They also require you to send a picture of the card used and your pic id via email after you book. Just weird. The property is on the other side of the lake away from shopping and the Village bout 15 minute drive.

Perfect views!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was equipped with all cook wear we needed. The view was the main point of interest for us as well as being on North Shore (perfect fishing spots). The cabin was very warm and inviting. The wifi was a bit spotty, but this was a getaway to unplug anyway. The jacuzzi did have a bit of a nasty smell. The water was crystal clear, but it had a nasty mildew odor. Everything was essentially perfect!

Great property, this is our second time staying here. Its close enough to downtown without all the nuisances of traffic and crowds. Aewsome lake view. The heater works great for you folks who get cold easy. As long as the prices remain reasonable, we will most likely be back.

Great time

I was there for a few weeks, worked remotely and felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. The house is great, beautiful view of the lake and nature. My recommendations to make it a fantastic experience is for the mgmt company to have additional cleaning supplies, towels that are fresh and not right out the package and to get the front door fixed as it takes you a few minutes to get in. Overall, was what I neede and I’ll be back.

Big Bear fun...but no luxury in the cabin!

Great location, great view of Big Bear Lake, great outdoor deck...other than that, for the money...there were several disappointments. The sheets were rough, like sandpaper...not comfortable. The towels were "kiddie sized" and also not soft...very thin and didn't really dry or cover a whole adult sized body. We had do do laundry in order to have enough towels for 4 adults throughout our stay. Then, we ran out of toilet paper and had filled trash bags...in order to get more toilet paper and remove the trash, we had to drive to the Cool Cabins office and pick up toilet paper rolls and dump trash into their dumpsters ourselves...seems inconvenient and semi-rude for the amount of money we paid for our stay in the cabin. Quite disappointing and the opposite of vacationing...didn't really want to do laundry, get toilet paper, ot dump trash on my vacation away from all of those chores. We would not recommend this cabin at all...unfortunately.

Just as Pictured!

Lovely property, great kitchen supplies (best knives ever!)... comfy bed, comfy couch, great view. We had some trouble with the dead bolt and required some assistance at check in, but they were very responsive. There were no instructions for the wood burning stove and we didn't know how to open the flue, but again they were very responsive. It took us two days to figure out how to use the volume control on the Roku TV and remote as there were no instructions for that, but we finally did figure it out :-)
