The cottages were super cute! The fireplaces were adorable and exactly what we want. After a long day out in the cold. We'll definitely stay here again
When I arrived I was a bit discouraged by the exterior & thought I made a bad choice. However, the inside room was fantastic. Bery clean, comfortable, & pleasant. I got a great night sleep & would totally return!!
It was clean. The facility is run down. Terrible couch. Bed is worn out. Not enough towels. Tv was not easy to use. Good things. Great hot water. Great shower. Great jacuzzi.
A quiet, relaxing experience. A short drive to the Village and hustle and bustle of Big Bear Lake. A perfect get-away. Only minor facilities need improvement (creaky bed, wobbly faucet, couch). Someone should have mentioned the dual showers and memory foam bed, what a plus!
Loved this place would stay again without a doubt. Would recommend to couples that are looking for a get away!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I didn't like having the contact for the motel not on the premises...because we had problems. No TV remote, TV didn't work, partial electrical outage (we had some power) and it all just seemed Mickey Mouse. But, Jaime, who came to fix the remote/TV and the electrical outage (we blew a fuse) was extremely helpful and had great customer skills.The old cabin needs updated.
Great Place to stay, about 10 min drive to town, live the comfortable settings of Fireplace & Hot Tub. Everything was clean and ready for our stay, have stayed here twice in 3 years and will definitely be back.
Had a wonderful time there! It’s definitely for couples If you are going with a group of friends, I would recommend we be instead, which is owned by the same company.
This is the second winter my husband and I stayed here. It’s such a cute little cottage and the hot tub is amazing. The check in and out process is so convenient. We also love that it’s right across from Circle K so we would walk and get coffee in the morning and sit on the porch and watch the snow fall.
