Difficult reservation system, Communication by text only. The links were troublesome for confirmation. Very clean, spacious, disappointing getaway with heavy traffic on Big Bear Blvd The gas fireplace was not the same as a wood-burning fireplace. Will be sure to get a cabin off Big Bear Blvd. next visit .

I had a fantastic stay! The customer service was top-notch. The reservation manager, Tanya, was so kind and went above and beyond to accommodate my guest and I. The cottage was cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax after hours of traveling up the mountain. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Big Bear!"

It was a quiet centrally located clean. The Jacuzzi tub was great roomie. Everything was good except the two chairs were really rickety. Just need new ones. They have a great little refrigerator with the freezer part separate on top that keeps even ice cream cold. The check process was pretty flawless. Just need to make sure You contact them before you stay so you can get the code sent back to you the day of and then when the room is ready, they will let you know. It worked well for me.
Nice swinging bench with a view of the huge pine trees to enjoy your coffee

The cottage is really run down. When I arrived I locked the door and then the lock broke so I couldn’t get out again. I was stuck in the cottage for more than 1.5 hours until maintenance arrived who broke into the window to open the door from the inside. I was not able to close the door afterwards and felt quite unsafe. The bed was so uncomfortable and I could not sleep the whole night. They offered me 15usd discount but for a 150usd stay this felt like a joke compared to what I had to go through.

We had a fantastic weekend in Big Bear and our room at Cathy's Cottages was very cute with a separate mudroom. The only downside was the pillows. They felt like a block or cardboard. I had to go buy pillows so that we could sleep. BTW - there is only ONE place in Big Bear and Big Bear City that sold pillows - Haus & Home. Would stay here again, but bring my own pillow.
