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.

The property is cute and perfect for my husband, 3 year old and myself with our dog. The yard is huge and perfect for us since we get to play with the dog but still feel like were out in nature. The reasons why I didn't give a 5 star review is because I asked for an early check in and they let me know that they can't guarantee it but will let me know when the house is ready and traditional check in was at 4pm. We ended up not getting a text at all. I texted the number past 4pm and no response so I called and they had to look it up and the response was "oh yea, its ready for you now". Once arriving to the house, there were 3-4 big dog poops that I had to pick up in the back yard. The couch also didn't have back cushions which made it really uncomfortable to sit and watch TV.

4/10 Poor

Great service but cabin in need of improvement

I hate to rate as low as a two but I must say the service and communication from Big Bear Cool Cabins is exceptional. The informative texts and emails made everything effortless. My questions were also responded to promptly so from that aspect, it was wonderful. The cabin, though, was disappointing. The couch appears to be very dirty and stained. It truly needs to be replaced. The comforter on the bed was covered in hair, the pillows smelled, as did the extra blanket that was provided. I'm not interested in posting poor reviews online because i was very pleased with the service just not the cleanliness of the cabin.

No plugs except being used for the few things already plugged in. Got to property couldn't get in, Maintenance showed up. Doorknob was jammed and hard to open. once opened he just left, Wife could not open door the entire stay, first hour there was a woman standing on our driveway with a dog. My dogs approached her dog I asked her to leave as she then told me "I live here" The driveway is a very unsafe narrow driveway. Not for full-sized trucks at all. Was not to satisfied with the place will never use Cool cabins ever again. Not happy with my stay or the response to my reporting of a stranger on the driveway not even a call only by text. Coffee pot and no place to plug it in except to sit it on the stove pull out a plug to plug in the pot. no where to charge phones plug anything in. Plug by front door will not hold a plug, Keeps falling out when trying to use. Nice bed and comfortable room temp. nice large back yard, The charging people 50 to take away trash that should be included in the cleaning fee, Doing the dishes should be in the cleaning fee. How do you know that the last customers really washed the dishes properly. I not knowing this when I found this out during my stay i then had to wash anything we used before using. I could go on but why. Your solution is to offer 15% discount on my next stay that will never happen with Cool Cabins. We ended our stay unhappy and a bit disgusted and unhappy about all of the issues that we had to deal with. Sorry but very unhappy

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.

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.
