Ursa Major Retreat was great!

We had an excellent stay with Big Bear Cool Cabins! Any time there was a question, their team was easily reached and communicative. While the cabin was a little smaller than we anticipated for the 8 of us, we had an amazing time and enjoyed our stay :) would book again and highly recommend!
