Last minute Big Bear trip

It's not mi first time going to big bear and it won't be my last. To be honest I've never heard of Cool cabins until we started searching for a place to stay . I will definitely use them again. Service was excellent always communication with us via text and email. Pricing was reasonable as expected the only drawback was the few concerns we had about the cabin . One was the up bathroom door is falling apart and the downstairs shower is falling apart with no water pressure. Mainly just stating so the next guest can have an excellent experience like we did.

Great little home, that was close enough to town, but not busy or loud like being right in town. My family really enjoyed it. The side yard was perfect with a little bit of snow to give the kids a play area.

Everything was good as the description says but there were minor inconveniences such as no screen on one main window when the only cooling was fans. The lock box location was not clearly described. Not enough electrical outlets and some main lamps had been left unplugged. These are minor compared to the good features.

Great Experience!

Overall tilt was a great stay and process was easy. As a feedback, outside tue upstairs bathroom there is some nails coming of the floor, seems something was nailed and came off . The nails are dangerous if you are bare foot. On the master bedroom, there are spider webs and dust right in the top of the bed in the inside of the been in the ceiling. This might fall into someone head while sleeping. Other than that , everything was perfect. I will stay again there or booked with you guys again. Thanks Jose villa

Ivvy bear cabin

the cabin location was great. the main factor that was upsetting was that the day of our arrival the Big bear cool cabins called me in the afternoon to notify me that the washer and dryer were not working. now normally this would not be a big deal but when you are traveling with a senior and have small children with you as well it was an issue. it was cold and we were unable to dry our towels from showering and bathing as well as using the jacuzzi. to some its not a big deal but when you are out all day and come home to eat dinner and clean up for the night and have to use a dirty wet towel it is not the bets experience. we tried hanging them around the house but they still did not dry. also, I notified the cool cabins about the microwave not working. we had come home from a long day out and were attempting to steam some veggies to go with our dinner and it just stopped working. we planned this trip so that we would have these certain amenities because we are a family and we could have easily booked a hotel and eaten out but we wanted to save money to explore big bear rather than spend more money on eating out. so when things do not work as they are supposed to and you are paying for them it is a bit frustrating. as far as the cleanliness of the cabin, if you are paying a cleaning crew that should be reevaluated as well. the downstairs bathroom had dirt and what seemed to be gravel or something behind the trash can as well as the upstairs rooms were dusty beyond all means und

Hi, Annette! Thank you for staying with us and leaving a review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the 2 main amenities you expected to work during your stay and apologize that they weren't. When we called you to inform you about the washer you said you were okay and that it wasn't a big deal. If was going to be a big deal we could have relocated you into another property. We also offered to replace the microwave and things like this will randomly stop working but you declined our offer and again said you were okay. We could have made sure you had a great vacation but you chose to stay there knowing the amenities were not going to work.
