My husband and I just returned home from our getaway at the Tree Top Cottage this past weekend. We had a wonderful time and will return for sure. It was comfortable, very clean and well located. Working with Connie was simple and very straight forward. Thank you for welcoming us at your cottage in the woods. We loved our mini-vacation.

My boyfriend and I rented Tree Top Cottage last weekend and both were amazed by every last detail of the place. The adorable decorations at the front gate and lining the walkway that welcome you in are only the beginning of the homey feel, the inviting aroma that greets you when you enter the front door, the personalized note & wine left for us, the great surround sound system for a cozy movie night and everything in between was absolutely perfect! Connie and Greg have every last detail thought of and prepared for, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy your vacation! Thank you, for allowing us to be your guests. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a romantic getaway spot and hopefully we will be back soon!!

Owner response:We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our little cottage. And, that it was everything you had hoped for. Please do come again. Thanks again!! Connie & Greg

We had a great visit at the Tree Top Cottage. It is charming, cozy, clean and very quiet. The bathroom is a bit small but for a weekend, it was no problem whatsoever. The decor was just comfortable and we enjoyed our visit so very much. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a splendid, romantic hideaway in the mountains.

Owner response:Therese & Paul, We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay in our little cottage. So sorry you did not like our bathroom. It is 8'x5' with double his & her pedistal sinks and a tub/shower combo which is really much larger than the normal one bedroom old cabins up here. Guess we could have made it larger by just having one sink but everyone seems to love having two sinks.

When I'm planning a trip, vacation or even just a short getaway, I take my time and do the research to not be dissapointed when it actually happens. This 2 day 1 night trip to Big Bear (first time) was my 3 year anniversary with my partner. Since the first contact with Greg and Connie, they were so helpful and the process was a breeze. Once we got there, the Cottage was a beautiful, cozy, clean and spacious for a party of 2. Very well decorated and had a personal touch that we didn't expect: the wine, a simple detail like that means alot to the overall experience. The hot tub was nice after skiing during the day, the moon was over and made the night unforgettable. The location of the Cottage is very conveniently located. If you really would like to stay at a nice, clean and beautiful place, this is where you should stay. I don't know when I'll be back, but when I do, I will definetely make my reservations with Connie and Greg.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights in early December. Greg and Connie were easy to communicate by email and they gave us all the information that we needed. The cottage is a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway and it was decorated very festive for the holidays. Everything was clean and made very comfortable. Because it was early December and there was no snow on the ground yet, we even enjoyed a dip in the relaxing hot tub. It was close enough for us to drive 5 minutes to Snow Summit or Big Bear. We will definately be staying here again! Thank you Greg and Connie!

Owner response:We are so happy that you had a wonderful getaway at our little cottage. Please do come again. Connie & Greg

My husband and I celebrated our 3rd year wedding anniversary here and it was perfect! The place is clean, spacious, warm, and romantic! We sat in the living room with the fireplace on and drank the wine that Greg and Connie provided! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay on such a short notice! We will definitely come back and recommend the place as well. Adrian and Sandra Connie answered every question I had over email and phone calls. Using paypal was very helpful and she even gave me suggestions on where to get a good bite! Thank you Connie for your kindness, I am greateful to have met you (over the phone at least :o)

Labor Day Weekend Fun

Tree Top Cottage goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The location is close to everything and the grocery store which was great for us because we cooked every meal. The kitchen had everything you need. The living room was comfy with full Direct TV channels. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was comfortable too. The hot tub was great as we used it late night and looked at the stars. You won't be disappointed with Tree Top and I look forward to visit again and again!

Date of Stay: 07/18/10 Review Submitted: 08/19/10

My wife and I, and our dog, spent a week here in July, and had a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean, and well stocked with very plush towels, linens and kitchen utensils. It is very centrally located, a short drive to the lake, the village, and Big Bear City. We enjoyed many meals in the Village, and we were very pleased that most restaurants were dog friendly. We highly reccomend Bs Backyard BBQ to those visiting with dogs. They have great food, and a private dog beach, where dogs can run leash-free. We enjoyed the spa as well. Most evenings we would return from dinner and soak in the spa. Greg and Connie were very helpful with questions we had before our arrival, and everything we needed was in the cottage when we arrived. We would like to return in the winter.

Owner response:We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our beautiful little cottage. Hope we see you in the winter. The cottage is just a 3 minute drive to Bear Mountain and about 5 minutes from The Summitt.

I was debating on leaving a comment because I did not want this cottage to be unavailable the next time I want to stay in Big Bear. This property was beautiful! It is exactly how it looks in the pictures. It was very cozy, nicely decorated, and had a great location. The owners were very nice throughout the reservation process. They have thought of everything with their accommodation from a collection of menus from local restaurants and brochures of local attractions to a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The private hot tub was the best way to relax after a day of skiing. I cannot wait to return!

Owner response:We love for our guests to be happy. Hope to see you again soon!

My wife and I stayed at the Tree Top Cottage several months ago for Valentine's Day and we still talk about how great it was! My wife loved the way the cottage was so beautifully decorated and having a fireplace and a hot tub was so, so nice! We were able to enjoy Big Bear without the noise and energy of a hotel or resort; we had our privacy and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Truly an amazing find! And the owners were great to work with--very helpful in planning, not at all seen while staying there, and very available if you need anything. Thanks!

Owner response:We are so thrilled that you enjoyed our little cottage. It is a Special place and we love to share it with everyone!!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in this beautiful cottage. We had an amazing time. When we arrived we were greated by the beautiful seasonal deoractions and we felt at home. It looked just like the pictures, only better in person. It was located in a quite neighboorhood with plenty of privacy, but close enough to go to town in just a few minutes drive. Making reservations and payment was smooth and easy. Loved dealing with Connie and Greg, everything went just as planned and was able to arrange everything over email and text messages. Hope we get to come and stay here again soon! :)

My husband and I stayed in this welcoming and romantic getaway last week. Connie was there to greet us and welcome us to a spotlessly clean home away from home. The cottage is just as inviting as it appears in the ad. We had a very relaxing time, enjoyed the wine, cheese and cookies. Loved the flluffy towels and attention to details. We would recommend Tree Top Cottage in a heartbeat!

From the first click we had immediate attention that carried through to a warm welcome with wine, cheese and fresh baked cookies. Every need was carefully anticipated. We especially enjoyed the baked apples with a fabulous breakfast that included blueberry muffins and a luscious home-style scramble. Next day was a big bowl of berries with hot cakes. Couldn't ask for more.

Owner response:We always like to keep our quests happy. We take a lot of pride when it comes to making sure their needs are met. This wonderful couple from Texas was a pleasure to have in our cottage and we do hope they return soon.Greg & Connie
