there are alot of places in big bear that have cabins, so its kinda hard to choose, but we picked sleepy forest cottages because they looked really cute, so we reserved the family cabin, because of the full kitchen, even though it was only my husband and I, we got there about 12:30, checked right in, and the cabin was...

Found Sleepy Forest Cottages by looking on Tripadvisor after unsucessfully searching the Big Bear website. Sure, there are things that could be improved but for the price this was a great place. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive and interested in what you'd done and where you'd been. We stayed in a family cabin, not with an open fire,... More

I stayed with a family of 4 in a cabin called southern comfort for 2 nights and it was the perfect getaway. There was snow on the ground outside and a hot tub in the back. The whole thing was very nicely decorated and was great to come back to after a day hunting for snow to play and sled... More

My husband and I recently stayed in Cabin #17 at Sleep Forest and had an overall great experience. The location was just what we were looking for - just off the "Boulevard" and close to both sets of slopes. I'm not a skier, so I also appreciated being situated in a quiet neighborhood where I could take walks to the... More

Hello, and thanks for this wonderful review! We are glad you enjoyed the stay and appreciate the rating. 217 is a King Jetted-Tub cottage that we love, and happens to be near the top of the list of remodels we are doing! A couple years ago we started on a process to remodel all carpeted rooms with hard-wood floors, new... More

We stayed at one of the vacation rentals, unit #197, recently for 3 nights. It is a one bedroom plus a sofa sleeper in the living room. There is a second level that is off limits (weird). The sofa sleeper was EXTREMELY uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that our child could even sleep on it. Fortunately we had a air mattress with... More

Hello, thanks for the review. You stayed in one of our private cabins, Cedar Pines. It is a very nice, cozy and likeable cabin, but we have had a major issue with the bed since you stayed. First, the upstairs is off limits because the city does not allow us to use 2nd stories for guests in certain size cabins.... More

We wanted a real cabin feel and loved the idea of this freestanding cabin. We only stayed one night in big bear and knew we would have to pay more for a holiday weekend. We spent $220 for room 217, the queen jacuzzi. Things to note: there are no double showerheads in this room, just a normal (slightly larger) shower.... More

Hello, thanks for this review, we are glad that overall you enjoyed your stay! Our holiday rates skyrocket compared to our regular discounted rates, as we get super busy during the holidays. The fact that you got 1 night is great! We usually have 3 or more night-minimums. This cabin, as advertised, does not have double shower heads and has... More

I read the reviews, checked out the website and I thought well this place should be safe. Well I could not believe how great the Cathy's cottages were. We booked mid week online, got a great deal and drove up to big bear for a few days. First impressions, I knew I'd made the right choice. The staff at the... More

We had to get a place last minute and these guys gave us a good deal and they had high ratings. Located in a good spot especially with kids cuz there is a McDonalds up the street from them on one side and the other corner is a 7-11 so super convenient.

Hi, thanks for the nice review! Paying for shipping for your left items is very necessary and out of our hands. UPS must charge to ship, and they do us a service for our guests making it easy so that you do not have to do anything but call. We are sorry that seemed to be weird, but glad you... More

My wife, 2-year-old daughter, and I decided to visit Big Bear on our way back from the LA area to our home in the High Desert.
