ROGELIO, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy, just needs upgrades

Super cute room. Bed was hard, yet you sunk in. Couch was very, very worn down. You can feel the metal bars when you sit down. Jacuzzi tub is super cool, but unfortunately the jets in my cabin weren't working, but I still enjoyed the tub very much. You're also able to watch TV from the tub, which is really nice. The shower has 2 shower heads, be prepared to lose a little water pressure when using both. I enjoyed the location, very close to a lot of things. There is assigned parking via a sign on one of the cabins. I would 100% stay here again if they upgraded the bed and couch. There is a mini fridge and microwave, both work well. There weren't any tissues in the room, which I thought was odd.

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!!

We enjoyed our stay at Cathy's Cottages; it was everything we wanted. The king-size bed and jacuzzi tub were perfect for our stay as a couple. Room was clean and comfortable. Wifi and cell service were excellent as well.

10/10 Exceptional

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!"

Jill, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Lisa, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very cozy cabin. Had everything you could need. Fireplace, microwave, refrigerator , coffee pot and dishes for 2. Ceiling fan, a must for me, and a cooler. Central location to everything in Big Bear.

probably the tub everything driving distance tv in weird position
Anthony, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

8/10 Very good

The property could stand to make some basic maintenance repairs. Nonetheless, very comfortable
Dennis Dale, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Internet and fireplace doesn’t work

Internet and fireplace doesn’t work. Don’t receive message feedback of host when question about it. Another things that’s okay.
PANAGIOTE, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Old with a strong mildew smell. I understand it’s supposed to have a rustic, mountain feel to it but desperately needs a “makeover.” Cottage needs better lighting. Very dreary, depressing and dark inside. Curtains and fake flowers arrangement need to be removed. They are only collecting dust. Plug outlets are so old, that plugs kept falling off. Bed was decent (memory foam) but after 3rd night, my back was sore. Jacuzzi was the only thing good.
Paulina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My boyfriend and I came to Big Bear for a quick getaway trip for a few days. This place was literally the most perfect place we could've chosen. All I really wanted was a fireplace and a hot tub, and this was above and beyond. Honestly i thought the place was going to be pretty small, but the pictures don't do it justice! It's actually a huge studio, with lots of nice little features, like a heating light in the bathroom, fireplace timer, fast heater, etc. I could go on and on. We absolutely loved it and our vacation was incredible. Huge props to the staff, especially Amanda who helped me check in. Everything is pretty close by, and our first night it snowed a bit and we were worried about a snow storm. We were able to find dining easily and the next couple days we drove back and forth to shop and eat and come back and relax. Awesome place, thank you so much!!!
