Scenic, good location, quiet, serene

Highland Hideaway (site and hosts) were excellent. Communication was effective and kind; directions to and within the cabin were helpful. Would recommend for your Big Bear getaway and for easy access to town and many local trails.

Highland Hideway

It's small less than 500 sq ft, but just perfect for two people. Our dog was enamored with the back yard. He never saw so many squirrels and rabbits! Place is clean and area is quite, close to a Mexican restaurant we love. Would highly recommend.

Highland Hideaway B-Day getaway

This cabin walks the line between Rustic and Rundown. The TV and appliances all worked. The doors and windows need replacing. The window nearest the bed could not be used because the screen was falling apart. We checked out a day early. We would not stay in this cabin again.

Big Bear Getaway

This is my second time at the cabin. It is perfect for the pups and a few days getaway. It was clean,and the right size for two. My only complaint is that the door was hard to open and the DVD player did not work, but I notified the management. The level of communication was terrific. I would definitely stay here again.

Super relaxing

This was my first solo trip and I took my dog with me. The cabin was absolutely perfect for a short getaway. It was clean, safe, and my dog absolutely loved the fenced backyard which was a nice peace of mind for me as well. Would come back for sure!

Great weekend getaway

Great place to stay for 2 people for the weekend. The only downfall was the shower head was ~2.5 feet from the ground. The shower head was removable but was not the most ideal shower especially when it’s cold and snowing out.

Great snowy stay in the mountains

Overall enjoyable property for our stay. The backyard was great for our pup and the Cool Cabin Staff was very reliable in assisting us acquire some necessary items that weren't at the cabin (soup pot, snow shovel). The description of this property is accurate and the fireplace is still inoperable; however, the furnace kept the place nice and toasty, even during the power outage that occurred during the snow storm. Great location and easy to access.

Good location

Cabin was just like the picture, nice backyard for our poochies to explore. It could use new rugs and carpet. It had a strong unpleasant smell glad I had a candle to help with that. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for our stay.
