Finn's Fish Camp is a rustic, cozy cabin perfect for couples. The cabin is charming and has maintained its vintage vibe while also offering modern updates to the kitchen and bathroom. We appreciated all of the kitchen appliances and utensils that we could use. The refrigerator was clean and the furnishings comfortable. The location is amazing! A nice, quiet neighborhood within close proximity to the Village. Having fans to use was great as we stayed in the summer heat. We also loved having the fully fenced yard for our dogs. We couldn't figure out how to open the futon so if you have directions for that, it would be helpful. Cool Cabins had great communication. I appreciated their texts and reminders. We also took advantage of the discount at Get Boards where we rented kayaks. All in all it was a great trip and we would stay at this property again.

Finns Fish Camp

Nice 1 bedroom rustic cabin located within walking distance of Victor's Center, the lake, and The Village. It has a cozy gas fire place in the living room and a small wall heater in the bedroom. They had games to play or TV with access to movies.It was perfect for the two of us and our little dog.

Cozy Getaway

Enjoyable stay where all needs were met. Backyard for the dog and a comfy place to lay my head between walking the lake and hitting the slopes. Highly recommend!

One night stay

Backyard was mostly dirt with lots of rocks. It needs attention.

Great Rustic Weekend Getaway

This was a great simple cabin. The heater kept the living room warm, and there was a heater in the bedroom. We had some issues with the oven not working and the sink not draining. Cool Cabins said they could send someone to the house while we were there but it didn’t seem worth it to us to hang out waiting for someone on vacation. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It had hot water and the essentials for a cabin getaway. Nothing fancy but satisfied for what we needed!

First location horrible. Second. Fantastic!

The first place they put us in was horrendous. No screens to let cool air in. Some windows painted shut. The bedroom outside has a hornets nest in the eve right outside. BUT! They quickly moved us to a wonderful place on 79 Marin. Screens, lights of fans!! 100% better. We would stay there again. Both places clean.

Hi, Mark! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologize for the initial issues you encountered with the first place, including the lack of screens, painted shut windows, and the hornets' nest. These conditions are certainly not up to our standards, and we regret any inconvenience caused. However, we are pleased to hear that our team was able to promptly move you to a wonderful place on 79 Marin that met your expectations. It’s great to know that you found the new place much better and would stay there again. We appreciate your understanding and your kind words about the cleanliness of both places. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us improve our services.

never again

it started before I arrived. I paid through VRBO for the entire stay. The managing agency (Big Bear Cool Cabins) made me complete a form - asking for a copy of my drivers license, personal information and a picture of front and back of my credit card. The female told me that if I didn't send them a pic of my CC (the day of and completely paid), they would deny me access to the cabin. I reminded her I paid for it- she didn't care. When I arrived - the front and back of the cabin was covered in 2 feet tall weeds.Outside furniture was rusting and falling apart. Inside was a sauna, so I opened the windows (they had burlap as curtains). only one window had a screen. All the other windows and doors had NO screens. The window sills were covered with cobwebs. The bed was against one of the windows. The pillows against the window had cobwebs. I sent Cool Cabin a picture of the pillows with cobwebs - they had the audacity to ask me, and I quote, "would you like me to send out housekeeping?" Seriously?? I sat on a chair just outside the back door while housekeeping cleaned. I was outside for 15 seconds when a spider crawled on my arm. I never sat outside. The night was miserable- no screens to keep the windows open. I was afraid if I left the windows open flies, bees, and critters would get in. never again!

Hi, Ruth! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're deeply sorry to hear about the numerous issues you encountered during your stay. This is certainly not the level of service or quality we aim to provide, and we apologize for the inconveniences and discomfort you faced. Regarding the additional documentation request, we understand that it was frustrating, especially after already completing your payment through VRBO. This is only requested beforehand so you can go directly to the cabin. If you chose to not send in the additional information, you could have checked in at the office. We sincerely apologize for the state of the property upon your arrival. The overgrown weeds, rusting furniture, lack of window screens, and cobwebs are unacceptable. These conditions should have been addressed before your stay, and we regret that they were not. It's disappointing to hear about your uncomfortable night due to the lack of screens and the issues with cleanliness. We apologize for the inadequate response from our team and the distress it caused. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our services and ensure these issues are addressed promptly.
