Excellent cabin

Cool cabins is a professional company that provided excellent service for my family during our stay over Christmas at this rustic and quaint cabin. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

Big bear getaway

Overall good, the cabin can definitely use updating. My only concern was once I cleared all the snow off the back deck there was a board broken right out the front door which seemed like a safety hazard then when walking down the stairs off the back deck there was a broken step. Glad I found it with the shovel as opposed to stepping on it. Lastly it would be nice to have wifi mainly for movies and the extra charge to take care of the trash is a joke with that you’re already paying for the cabin. Decent trip but wouldn’t stay at this cabin again

Serves our trip well

This place is very close to all the nearby hotspots for vacation. Close to the resort, hikes, lakes, and shopping/restaurants. It was a last minute trip and we found this place with very reasonable pricing. With that being said, this place is very very dated. Furniture is very old and bedding looks pretty worn out. Bathrooms are dated, but clean. Kitchen looks updated with all the amenities. The backyard and grill served us well and was very nice to relax in after a good day of hiking. Overall, the place is suitable for a nice weekend stay, but just keep your expectations lower. We cannot complain considering the pricing is very good for the area.

Great family friendly cabin

We loved our stay here at Cardinal Ridge. Our girls loved the exploring the cabin and the backyard and we enjoyed the cozy feel of it all. We appreciated the tiny touches, like soap in bathrooms and sink, coffee and filters, etc. Only issue was running the dishwasher which was on same switch as the disposal. Wonderful cabin - we hope to stay again!

We had an awesome time at Cardinal Ridge!!

It was easy to find and when we arrived we immediately felt comfortable. The cabin warmed up quick and there was plenty of space for our family (7). The kids enjoyed the backyard area and there were enough table wear for everyone and pans as well!! We will definitely be back for more fun!!

Quick Turnaround

The location is great and if you have children, there is a great little slop to the side of the house that the kids can play. I thought it was so kind of the owners to have sleds available. My only complaint is that it didn't feel clean. The carpets were torn and the Dish TV didn't work. We only stayed for one night so we were in and out. The place served its purpose and the kids had fun.
