Easy, and short walk to the village. Plenty of things to do close by.

Nice for our purposes. The only drawback is that we did not realize that the unit did not have a washer/dryer, so we needed to request extra bath & wash towels.

Family vacation

My daughter and niece loved the bunk bed room. We all enjoyed the luxury of just walking into town for food, shopping, food, or treats. Overall this cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. My only complaint was the dishes being dirty when going to use them because it’s up to the guests to do all the dishes. . Kind of gross. I would suggest having to load all dishes in the dishwasher upon checkout, to ensure proper sanitation.

Cozy Getaway

Cabin is exactly as listed. It was perfect size for a small family. Only downfall was it wasn’t fully clean in the bathrooms when we arrived. The lighting was dim in the family room but cool cabins brought in another lamp right away when we made note of it. We had a great time, loved the location and all of the snow that came while we were there. Will definitely come back for another trip!

Perfect Location

Perfect location, nice and cozy. The back yard is not fully fenced which made it inconvenient when wanting to let the dogs out. Besides that great place.

Great getaway

Our family has rented homes in Big Bear Lake for years, though we’ve typically been further up the mountain in the Moonridge area. The location of this home was perfect: walking distance to the restaurants and shops. Being able to walk everywhere saved us time (and aggravation) looking for a parking spot. Cabin was clean and the perfect size for our family of 4 and beagle. Kids loved building a snowman in the yard.

Nicer than its Pictures

The place was heated upon entering in the cold weather which was highly appreciated. The place looked nicer than in its pictured. My boys loved the bunk bed. The upkeep and decorations were new and beautiful. The cute fireplaces are decorations only unfortunately. I wish they would have been real fire too like in the living room. The water was amazingly hot thank god. Showers were lovely hot. Really close to shopping we walked at night got food n coffee, was perfect night walk. I would definitely recommend this place and rebook again.

Great Location

Cabin is walking distance to village and all the restaurants/bars. Cabin is clean and has everything needed for a great stay. Roads were closed getting up to Big Bear and Cool Cabins offered a credit if we didn’t want to wait for the roads to open. We waited and made it up about 11pm.

Perfect location, but cabin is aging.

Wonderful location that is in walking distance to the village! Cabin, however is in need of upgrading and is uncomfortable. There are only ceiling lights on the lower level and seating for only 3 on the couch and one chair. There is plenty of space, but no seating. The management company is great and had a mantanance man at our door quickly after an electrical problem in the master bedroom. The great snow made up for all the cabin shortcomings, we all had a great time!

Spacious but in need of updated decor, lighting and AC

This rental was disappointing because though it was spacious, it was in need of updated decor, the furniture was old fashioned and lighting particularly poor. The chairs in the kitchen area were too heavy to use. The lack of air conditioning was not much offset by the ceiling fans, making sleep difficult. A deficient battery in the smoke alarm led to loud beeping through my second night. The electrical devices in the kitchen would not work until a trip switch was activated. I had to reset the switch every time I wanted to use the coffee maker. The worst thing for someone who brought books to read was the absence of lamps. The overhead lighting was inadequate and tied to the ceiling fans. In all in felt gloomy, hot and old fashioned. It was clean, and the check in person was friendly, but I found the rental way over priced. I stayed for only 2 of the 3 nights. A refund for the 3rd night is the least you could offer.

Great location!

We booked this cottage for memorial weekend and enjoyed every minute of it! It was perfect for our family of 4 (mom/dad/son 7/son 6). It was a very conveinient location to the village. We were able to walk to several different restaurants and shops with ease. Surprisingly it was very quiet considering how close we were to the town. Would absolutely stay again!

#1 Location & Dog friendly!!

Location is perfect - 1-2 min walk to all restaurants/bars in the Village, but far enough that there are not crowds of people walking in front of the cabin at all times of the day. Only 3 adults in our group, plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be to replace the shower head, very little water pressure (probably due to calcium build-up in the shower head).

Great location!

The house was great, cozy and comfortable and clean. The best thing about it was the location, a block from the Village and a block from the main road. Unfortunately they were doing construction on the main road, so traffic was diverted down our little road and there were a lot of big trucks driving by. But that wouldn't be the case on a normal day. The yard was big but very unkempt and we weren't very comfortable even walking around in it, and the fence didn't completely surround the yard so I couldn't let the dog out without going out with her.
