Hakuna Matata Lakefront

Stayed with family over Superbowl weekend and couldn't have been more pleased with the location and property overall! Great game room/hangout area for the whole family to have fun, amazing scenic view of the lake with plenty of space for the kids to play outside, and great location close to Big Bear Village and other local restaurants as well as being very central to local ski resorts. Will be staying here again in the future!

Great Place, Responsive Service, but Owner Showed Up Twice

The place was great! Beautiful lake front property with all the amenities you need for a fun, relaxing weekend. Cools Cabins was very responsive. I do want to mention, however, we did not appreciate who I presume was the owner showing up at the property two mornings in a row to work on his jet skis in the driveway.

3 days weekend

Despite of our down stair dinning table almost falling apart while having dinner and power going out twice, Overall my family enjoyed the stayed. Perfect games for our teenage kids and plenty of space down stairs for our twin babies to play around.

Hi Nissan! Thank you for staying with us. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the additional check-in process. Since the reservation was made under your father's name and he was not present at check-in, we required additional verification, as outlined in the documents provided after booking. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Family Fun

3 generations spent 4 days at this lovely mountain get away. The house is incredible, filled with charm and amenities like pool table, ping pong, corn hole, volleyball net, outside chairs and boat dock. (Water level low, so had some challenge getting to clear water but we made it work). The house is huge with well equipped kitchen and areas for rest and play. Our 5 granddaughters enjoyed the bunk room and free WiFi was a special bonus. The sun rises were incredible and the patios and outside deck with bbq allowed us some good quality family time. Thank you!

Thanksgiving

Property was nice but a bit dated. Next door there is a full remodel happening and workers started at 7:30am sharp the day after Thanksgiving till 5pm. Not as peaceful as would hope for.

Hello, Nicola! We are very sorry to hear about this. We wish we would have been informed during your stay so we could have gone over and see if we could have them work a bit later. We are very sorry about this. We hope to have you back very soon and hopefully this doesn't prohibit you from returning. Thank you, Big Bear Cool Cabins

Views are amaxing!

Family trip to Big Bear was perfect with this home. Had plenty of room for our large family to hang out and felt very comfy. The views of the lake are ridiculous. Huge patio for our whole family to hangout and just a couple steps from the lake. Overall great stay. Thanks for letting us stay in this home.
