Cozy and Peaceful

Very quiet and serene. Big Bear has always been our "go to" place to visit for vacations, celebrations and just enjoy the peacefulness the mountains provide. We celebrated our 42nd Anniversary in our favorite place and it was perfect!

Lovely! But one thing

We had a great time in the Mountain Cottage. The only thing of note was the corner of the living room rug is very slippery and could use some tape. Thank you again for a lovely stay in Big Bear!

The cabin was cozy, very clean and easy to find. The jacuzzi beside the parking area was not inviting and there was no way to even get into it. The pics on line show the jacuzzi on the back deck which apparently wasn't working. We did not feel comfortable using the jacuzzi at the bottom of the front steps in the parking area. When we booked we were told someone would help us with starting a fire and putting on chains if we needed the help. Upon arrival we were told that was not true. However, the neighbors were so kind and helpful! The neighbor up the hill came down and helped us start a fire as well as teach me for the next time. The neighbors across the street checked on us the next day. We are very grateful for them. Luckily we did not need chains. The bed and sofa are not very comfortable but both were inviting. The cabin has a great view and is like a cozy little retreat. We definitely recommend and would book again because the positive outweighs the negatives!

Pros: the cabin is in a great location. Just a short drive to the village and right around the corner from boulder bay! It was far enough out that you felt like you were really out in nature. The cabin itself is cozy and we found the kitchen to be stocked with plenty of utensils which is always nice in a rental. The house stayed cool despite no AC (at least that we could find). The back deck got lots of sun and was nice to relax in. The couch and bed were comfortable. The outdoor grill was great too. Communication was also excellentCons: the house needs to be cleaned better. The walls in the bedroom had a lot of cobwebs in the corners and the light switchs were filthy. Whoever cleaned the place seemed to not be doing a thorough job. The back deck was littered with debri which is understandable given it’s in the woods, but it wouldn’t hurt to sweep it up in between guests. There were also random things strewn about like old bowls, string lights, a non functioning bbq, Christmas decor, etc. the deck furniture is in poor shape and was haphazardly placed around the deck. The hot tub was luke warm and the water was an off color so we didn’t feel comfortable using it at all. Also the cushions in the hot tub were either missing or disintegrating. The other major issue was ants. Every morning there were tons of ants crawling around the kitchen and they managed to get into our food before we knew there was a problem. They were on counters, in the sink, and all in the garbage can. :(
