    Me and my wife having been coming here for years now. We absolutely love it here! I recommend getting the king bed with jacuzzi and fireplace. The room is spacious with lots of amenities. We can't see are selfs staying anywhere else. Cathy's Cottages have been so good to us. We look forward to coming here every year!!!

    After deciding upon a last-minute trip to Big Bear, I was pleased to find that a room was still available. There were no cabins available, I believe, but room 221 (Grandma's Attic) was. I wasn't expecting much since it was so last minute but I was very pleasantly surprised when I walked in, and I would like to stay in there again by choice! It was so cute and cozy, and I truly did feel like a grandmother decorated it (in a good way!) Even though we were on top of a cabin filled with many people, we could not hear them, which is something I was worried about but turned out not to be an issue. There was a cute bathroom with a checkered floor. There was a gas fireplace and a little patio that you could eat breakfast on. It was close to the lake and the little boardwalk in the lake. The bed had a cute quilt and there was a little nook by the window. The internet was super fast, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. A little bonus for me was the makeup-removing wipes! Also parking is really easy and there is parking available literally right outside each of the cabins. It wasn't perfect, but I didn't mind any of it. For example, once the water in our room completely turned off. I know things like this are inevitable, so what matters to me is how they handled it. And they handled it by sending someone RIGHT AWAY to fix it (hence the 5 stars instead of 4). The bed was a tiny bit hard, but that's just preference. And the flame from the fireplace was mostly blue, as if it wasn't turned up high enough. Also, be careful if you are using a GPS to not type in Cathy's Cottages, but instead their main address on Eureka (that's the only place you can check in). Its not too far, but it's kind of annoying to have to backtrack. And its really pleasant when you get in there (smells great, nice and warm, and there is coffee, tea, and cookies). I know I will be staying here again. Highly recommended.

    Nothing like a hot tub, candles and fireplace! #Romance

    My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of our experience here at Cathy's Cottages since even before check in. Josh and family were excellent from the time I made that phone call from San Diego to inquire about a room. They were great in person and the amenities they offered from the get go made us feel as though we were right at home. Inside the cottage has been wonderful. From the warm decorations and atmosphere, to having all the essentials provided to us, has left us wanting more. Enjoyable enough to book an extra night and call our bosses to take an extra day off from work. The hot tub has been used plenty and was definitely one of the highlights of the room. Everything is clean and like brand new! Thank you Sleepy Forest for your great hospitality!

    I've stayed here 8 times since 2010. Every time has been amazing and great. They are very accommodating. The rooms are wonderful ( always with extra little goodies in the bathroom, kitchen is supplied with paper towels, dish soap, dishes, silverware, etc...) a very comfortable bed with more than enough pillows, and I'm somebody who needs at least four to myself ;) there is also a circle K right & red box down the street, for all kinds of snacks, goodies & movies! =) Great place to enjoy the jetted tub, the romance! Also sitting on the very large porch enjoying nature is so Relaxing! The owners, the pool family, are one of the most friendly, accommodating, just very hands-on owners I've ever met. They recently re painted the rooms (at least cabin #6) Can't praise thsese cabins enough! If you have any problem at all they always go above and beyond to help! So please let them know b4 you check out if you need Anything!! For the excellent quality definitely 5 stars!

    Awesome place. Had a great night here. Very cozy, clean. Jacuzzi is great! Price wise we were lucky to get here on a weekday, so had a great deal. Love Big Bear and this place. Will return here again!

We chose a room with a kitchenette, and even for our short stay, it was a great convenience. Service is a little hit or miss. When we arrived our room was a bit stuffy so we tried to use the thermostat, which kept indicating a low battery. We called the front desk and the man who answered hesitantly said they'd tell maintenence. On our way out for dinner, we stopped by the front desk to remind them of our request and it was the same person who answered the phone. He was surprised and scrambled to find a sticky note to write it down. After all of that, we come back to the room to a note that it's been "fixed." The A/C and heat are controlled on the unit by the window itself, not the thermostat. So why not say that the two times we asked about it? The entrance and exit are towards the road behind the main street through down, which has restaurants, a 7-11, and other places you can easily walk to -- if they had an exit facing the main road. We had to walk around the building, climb over the railing and then make our way to the sidewalk.

However, I was disappointed that the bathroom in Room 363 already had some maintenance issues. The toilet was loose and wobbled every time we used it, and the shower handle was also loose and moved around when adjusting the water temperature. For a newer property, I expected these basic fixtures to be in better condition. The complimentary breakfast was a simple American-style breakfast with a few hot items, which was convenient but nothing particularly special. Overall, the hotel has great potential because it's clean and well maintained in general, but the maintenance issues in our room definitely affected our experience. Hopefully, management will address these problems soon, as this could easily be a 4 star stay with better attention to detail.

    We stayed here for one night over the 4th of July weekend and overall had a good experience…read more Check-in was quick, and the front desk staff was genuinely welcoming and friendly. They made us feel right at home, which was a great way to start our stay. We booked a room with two queen beds, a fireplace, and a balcony. The lobby is nice, and the hotel has a spacious breakfast area along with an on-site restaurant. Our room was on the first floor, though, and the balcony overlooked someone's backyard, so we didn't really get to enjoy sitting outside. That was probably the biggest disappointment. The room itself was comfortable enough. The beds were decent, and it looked like some of the decor had been updated. The bathroom, however, could definitely use some work. There were patched areas on the walls, cracked baseboards, and it felt a little worn. The hallways could also use a refresh. The game room was a nice surprise. It had a pool table, ping pong, foosball, a few board games, and vending machines. There's also a small outdoor pool and jacuzzi, which looked like a nice place to relax. Breakfast was included and had a good variety of options, which we appreciated, especially on a busy holiday weekend. Overall, while parts of the hotel felt a little dated and even a bit creepy in places because of the older chateau style, we still enjoyed our stay. For the price we paid during one of the busiest weekends of the year, it was a good value. A few updates would make a big difference, but the excellent customer service and included breakfast definitely left a positive impression.

It's certainly strange- you take an elevator up, stairs down, more stairs down, some up, and you finally find your second floor room. It similar to the Winchester House in San Jose. But, we found that kinda quirky and filed that in the positive. The staff was friendly. The room was clean, sizeable, and everything was in working order. We didn't eat breakfast, although it is provided, but we did have dinner at Tiffany's. Dinner was great, with live entertainment. The hot tub is small, five person max, but the pool was nice, with several chairs around to relax. There is an outdoor bocci ball court. Inside is a game room with a pool table, foosball, air hockey, ping pong, checkers, and connect four. All free. Parking is free. Overall, nice place. There is plenty of lodging in Big Bear, but if you get an opportunity, I would try this place.
