The cabin was ok. The furniture was okThe hot tub was nice but no where to hang a towel and the steps to get in were in a bad spot to get in and out. Bbq was good and worked well The sink in the bathroom didn’t drain and we couldn’t use itThe bed was comfortable but needed a thicker blanket. We brought our own and were glad we did. It was a little far from most of the more popular things to walk but the was a couple places to eat. We will probably stay closer to the village next time

We really spent a relaxing romantic time!

We really spent a wonderful romantic time as we stayed there. They had an outside comfortable Jacuzzi under brilliant stars and a moon light. They had a classic fire pit inside that made us feel so romantic! We will go back there for sure when they have a good deal!

Perfect cozy cabin!!!

The cabin was clean and perfect for what we were looking for. The location is great and the everything was so easy from checking in to checking out. The only think you need to be careful about is that the doors lock from the inside. Don’t go in the jacuzzi and forget your keys :). We got locked out but the staff was very good about and quick about sending someone over to help us get back in.

Exactly what I thought it'd be:)

I felt the pictures and description gave me an accurate idea of the property upon arrival. They've since moved the spa back behind the house, which was a great idea (more privacy than the side yard). My wife and I really enjoyed staying the night here. We would definitely consider renting this unit again in the future.

Cabin was cute & comfortable, loved the jacuzzi! There was no coffee for the keurig, carpet needed to be cleaned & the curb where you park is horrible for lower cars! Big drop, scraped the bottom of my car. No where else to park. Need instructions on how to operate the tv. Very confusing!

Romantic getaway

My husband and I visited Big Bear for a quick 24 hour getaway for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The cabin was ok. Nothing spectacular. I sent 2 different messages to the property regarding the spa, to make sure it was working before as that was the main reason for booking there. No response. Luckily it was, sort of. It was luke warm and only about half the jets worked. I also messaged about check in and no response. Easy check in once I called the office to have them send over the instructions. Again overall ok.

Not bad

I really wanted to give 5 stars but I can't, just 4. This place is really good for 2 people but unfortunately we were 4 people. So I and my boyfriend had to stay in leaving room and that leather sofa bed was great just for seat NOT SLEEP. We stayed 3 nights and it was nightmare I couldn't find my place, bed was noisy and uncomfortable I couldn't sleep at all. Likely there was a mattress (twin) so we had to add more pillows from sofa and sleepon the floor... so that was a quest 😅 then there's almost no space to put clothes and this is 1 more minus. Guys plz change your sofa.

Very disappointing. Would not stay again.

The main reasons we will not return are the super small kitchen (without dishwasher), extremely small fireplace (does not fit normal sized wood), and the bed. The kitchen is super small. If you plan to snack and go out to eat you will be fine. If you plan to cook, pick another place. You have to hand wash everything and with dishes drying on the counter there is zero food prep space, not to mention any room for snacks/drinks etc. Only two small towels provided to use, dirty and then use the same towels to dry and put away all dishes before you leave -- not very sanitary. The fireplace is very small and normal firewood does not fit. There was no warning of this and Cool Cabins was very unhelpful. They told us to go buy an axe... so we wasted money doing that since the property was not equipped to support the tiny fire place. Lastly the bed. I was so excited to have a king bed and Tempur Pedic but it is not adjustable and they don't even have sheets that fit it. The sheets were so small they would come off the mattress if you barely moved. We woke up on the bare mattress several times a night. Super uncomfortable sleep here. Please buy sheets that actually fit this bed for future guests. The only part that was nice was the hot tub but everything else was so uncomfortable or frustrating it was not worth it. Would absolutely not stay here again.

Hello Kayley, Thank you for staying with us and leaving a review. We appreciate your feedback. The property is advertised with no dishwasher, as well as the pictures show the property very well. If you need a dishwasher or a larger kitchen we wish you would have booked another property. All of your concerns are out of our hands as this is how the house was built. We apologize for the sheets being small and will inform the appropriate departments. We hope to have you back at another one of our rentals! Big Bear Cool Cabins

Cute, cozy, and romantic!

My boyfriend and I stayed here to celebrate my 30th birthday. We fell absolutely in love with this cozy little cabin! The check in and check out process was so easy. We loved using the jacuzzi every night and contacting management was a breeze! In hindsight we should have contacted them earlier and asked them to turn on the hot tub because it took a day to heat up (winter time!) but it was awesome! We loved it so much and can’t wait to come back. It was the perfect get away and the location was fantastic!

Good stay, a little off on the description

The place is great overall! Cute, small place, and the hot tub is really nice to relax in after a long day. The rental is listed however with a free bike/kayak rental but it is just a coupon for a free kayak/bike for one person for just two hours. This is the fault of VRBO apparently for listing it wrong. But just be aware!

Great one bedroom

The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was stocked with the basics. The place was immaculate. The wifi was better than my service at home! Someone mentioned the hot tub running. Honestly, I could hear it but it did not bother me. I usually sleep with a sound machine anyways. The neighbors were really nice to us. I would definitely stay there again.

No “sleeping in” here!

Small quaint cabin but the spa that sits outside the master bedroom has a cycle that begins a 5am every day. If you are a light sleeper there is no sleeping in for you! Could have also used some extra towels since we were here for more than a few days. Bathtub drain does not work but shower was nice and warm. Small water heater though so no long showers unless you want to freeze every one else out when it’s their turn. Would not likely choose this place again.

We are sorry to hear about your troubles in this cabin. I will inform the maintenance staff regarding the hot tub so they can see what seems to be going on. We provide enough towels for the number of guests that the cabin sleeps, we would have been more than happy to have delivered some extra towels to you had this been called into our office. We do our best to accommodate our guests to ensure that their stay is great. We will mention to the owner the suggestion about the small water heater. Again, we are sorry that you encountered some challenges during your stay with us.

Perfect little getaway

This cabin was perfect for my fiance and I. The size was great for just the 2 of us. The studio-like layout was great, the spa was ready to go and amazing after a day on the slopes and most importantly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. No joke, tried to figure out the maker of the mattress because it was so comfortable. If you're looking for a cozy cabin close to the mountain this is a great spot. The only negative was that it wasn't the most private. The neighbors are right next to you and can be heard if they are yelling (they did a little while we were there, awkward).
