It was a wonderful little cabin. The kitchen was well stocked and very clean. The views are just beautiful. The large fireplace in the cozy family-room was wonderful. We plan on renting the exact same little cabin on our next visit. The check-in and check-out was really well done.

Georgous Vintage Cabin

We had the most amazing stay at this cabin. The location was hands down the most relaxing place we have stayed at up in Big Bear. The cabin was clean,warm & cozy. It had everthing we needed . We had our dogs and they loved the fenced garden , we all enjoyed lazy afternoons out on the deck watching the lake . We rented a pontoon boat from the marina close by , that was a great day out . Big Bear never disapoints when we come up every year in October . Thank you Big Bear Cool Cabins for another great stay!

This cabin was amazing for a long weekend trip. The view out to the lake and around the house was beautiful and it was very quiet and peaceful. We brought our dog and he loved running around in the yard and walking down to the lake. Beware if you have small dogs they may be able to get out under the fence in a few areas. Everything in the house worked well, the beds were very cozy, and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Great location & beautiful grounds.

Great location with easy access to the lake. Beautiful landscaping with a covered rear porch/deck. Cozy living room with beautiful view of lake. Kitchen was great and stocked with necessary equipment. Plenty of towels in bathrooms. Bedding is dated, thin blankets and could use upgrading. No access to garage so parking is tight. But we would come again!

Gorgeous location!

Perfect cozy cabin for our party of 4. Kitchen had the basics that we needed to cook our meals. The backyard overlooks the lake and was stunning. Plenty of shade on a warm day to just relax outside and listen to the birds. Great fenced in yard for medium or larger dogs - there are a few places around the perimeter that smaller dogs could get under. We were able to fish off the dock that was steps away from the back gate. Next time, we’ll rent kayaks and walk them right out to the water. Parking is very tight - one car only on a half-driveway. Our second car was able to be parked at the main office with no trouble at all. We will absolutely stay here again!

Cozy Cabin with Breath-taking Lakefront View

The cabin was cozy and perfect for a small family of 4. We LOVED the front yard with direct access to the lake. The views of the lake were absolutely beautiful. Our stay would have been perfect if the staff made it easier and convenient for us to check in. Like what others have mentioned in their reviews, the check-in process was frustrating because there were no clear instructions on how to get the keys to the property. We wanted to get into the house right away because it was freezing cold outside and we were so tired from the trip. Upon entering the property, we could tell that the house wasn't cleaned properly because several areas throughout the house were dusty/dirty. The beds were also uncomfortable. The bedsheets, linens, comforters, and pillow cases were also not clean. We also disliked the fact that we have to take out our trash with us, and dispose it to one of the designated trash disposal sites out in town.

Stay at Stillwater Cove

I would rate it higher if we didn't encounter some basic problems. My sister and I are seniors and first thing we couldn't figure out was the tv. No instructions and we had an awful time navigating the two remotes in the living room. Second thing was the microwave. All we could figure out was beverage and baked potato. Never did figure out how to just set a time to heat up whatever we were trying to heat up. Third thing was the master bathroom shower. Couldn't get it to move to hot. The location was very nice. Can't beat that view. Beds weren't all that comfortable, but we managed. My suggestion for that tv is to leave instructions. That was the most frustrating. My sister is a tv fanatic. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood.

Cool cabin on lake!

Everything was great with the house. There were a couple areas where the communications with host could improve though. Lack of clarity around accessing the house. Messages with host indicated that a code would be provided the day of to enter the property. Once getting to the property we were told we had to drive to office to get a key. This was frustrating since we would have stopped at the office on the way up to get the key if we would have know. Instead we had to make an additional trip to the office. There was also confusion about what to do with the trash once we checked out. The note on fridge says to see the map that was laid out and haul trash out to a dump site. There wasn’t map provided though. I messaged host but didn’t hear back on what to do with the trash until we already left. Once we left we got a message to bring trash to office but it was too late since we already left and dropped off keys at the office. Minor issues but a lovely home in a great location.

Great dog friendly cabin

The view, the cabin , the location… all made for a great trip. The fenced in dog friendly yard was amazing for our dogs. Sitting out on the deck at night playing games was relaxing. Great restaurants nearby. Didn't cook in kitchen but made use of the bbq. Will be returning to this cabin again!
