First I was texted earlier in the day of my checkin to say my room was available early and what time would I be expected. A nice touch incase you are running late. I was alittle lost finding the driveway to the property, so I called the property and the gentleman at the front desk waited outside to flag me in. I finally get to meet Serene, the front desk manager and he was very enthusiastic and greeted me with a very sincere warmth,and we had a nice conversation about the area. He was very informative and suggested several local dining places very close to the property, I actually walked to one of his suggestions. The small house that I rented was very clean and the beds comfortable. I will definately stay at the Fox n Bear again! Thank you Serene for making my stay in Big Bear a very rewarding experience!

I wish I could give this place zero stars. My stay at Fox N Bear Cottages was beyond disappointing. First off, the listing mentioned a fireplace and a microwave, yet there was no fireplace and no microwave. When I brought up these issues to the front desk, the staff was rude and completely unhelpful, acting like I was bothering them just for expecting what was advertised. To make matters worse, there were no blankets—just thin sheets on the bed. It was freezing at night, and the only heater in the cabin smelled like it was burning, so I couldn’t even use it safely. On top of that, the remote for the TV was missing, so I had to download an app just to use it. But somehow, someone else’s remote kept connecting to our TV, causing it to change channels, turn off randomly, and adjust the volume on its own—extremely frustrating. Overall, this stay was a nightmare. Between the false advertising, terrible customer service, and lack of basic amenities, I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else!

We booked a one night stay last minute and upon checking in Jamie the manager greeted us on arrival and was very friendly. The outside appearance was cute and there was assigned parking per cottage that was very convenient. The rooms were toasty and there was enough space for the four of us. At first glance it seemed like a cute affordable place to stay but upon further inspection we noticed that the floors were not swept or mopped. There was leftover trash and old food under the bed and in the corners. We got really grossed out and wondered what else wasn’t properly cleaned. We called Jamie and he came immediately to fix the issue. He swept and “mopped” (there was no mop so he used wet towels) A for effort but… if there’s no mop then how do the floors get cleaned?? He assured us that the cleaning lady had been there earlier. Not sure who is to blame, but the cleaning was not done properly. With that being said, every other part of our stay was great.

We found this property at a great price after looking around expedia. Read some reviews and thought they were ok, maybe a bit mixed. Finidng the place was pretty simple. Checking in was interesting. I walked around the cottages to find the "office". On the door was a number for 24/7 check in. I called it and the lady answered and asked if i was here. She opened the door and told us to come inside. I assume that was her living space/office. We walked in and it was a bit weird being in there, but whatever. She gave us the wifi password and the room door combo. Parking was nice and easy as there were spots designated for everyone. #2 was our cottage. Inside the room smelled like smoke due to the fireplace. After making a fire ourselves both nights, smoke filled the room(yes the port was open inside the fireplace), so the chiminey probably wasnt cleaned out on the inside and the windows had to be opened to help ventilate. The room was clean overall and very cozy. No worries about being cold overnight. The bed was super comfy as well as the couch. The lady brought us extra towels as well. There was a hair dryer, towels and shampoos. All the kitchen appliances and utencils as well as plates and cups were a plus. We had to clean some forks and cups as they were still a bit dirty. There was also leftover ice cream in the freezer from a stay before. The tv channels were plentiful as there were lots of free app options and movies. She hung up on me during check out, so we left at 1030.

This property had a huge cleanliness issue. I don’t think he’s ever cleaned. He just picks up the obvious things when guest leaves and makes the beds. The bedding was dirty and stained. The floors were swept and mopped. There was multiple debris and old food left under most of the beds that is clearly been there for months. The towels were basically brown, and they should’ve been white.

Amazing Stay – Highly Recommended! We had an incredible time at this vacation rental! The place was beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were super cozy, and the view from the balcony was absolutely stunning—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The host was very responsive and provided great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. The location was ideal—close to the village and restaurants and plenty of activities, yet quiet enough for a relaxing getaway. Overall, it exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped, and charming place to stay!

Not as booked

We got there and we’re having trouble getting into our RESERVED cabin. The owner gave our cabin to another group with no warning. So we were placed in a single bed cabin (myself and my 6’1” son) that smelled so heavy of stale smoke it was nauseating:( all of things smelled and our eyes burned. The lady who ended up assisting us to get in, was very very nice! It was just the switch of last minute accommodations that really made our stay awful:( the cabin needs to be fumigated.

Arrived at the property at 8 PM. Nobody on site all weekend! Door code was texted but other renters arriving over the weekend had issues getting in. I looked in the drawers of the kitchenette and in two of them there was mouse poop (with some shredded seasoning packets) and ants. I called to report the problem. I didn’t hear back for 16 hours, but the reply was “thanks for the information” and told that housekeeping could go over to the cottage right then, but I asked if they could wait a couple hours. I got no immediate response as to when they would show. When I later texted them some six hours later the management said that housekeeping had knocked which was not true bc one of my party was there that time. I heard nothing for another 16 hours but received a text saying that housekeeping was no longer on premises. The management asked if I wish to switch cabins which I was open to, but I asked follow up questions about the number of beds,etc, but another two hours went by without full answers and I was told there were now none available to swap. The text exchange got heated: the management told me to stop harassing him and if the conditions were so bad I should leave the rental early. Other people at the property who booked through other travel services reported dirty cabins. There is a for sale site on the property and I think the owner does not care about the property anymore so do not book! They do not answer a 2nd number and in fact took down the sign with the #s

Unable to check in at 03:10, because nobody answered the phone to provide the access code. I call the emergency number and they told me to wait until 04:30 when the manager arrives. The room was dirty and the heater was it working.
