    Master bedroom with jacuzzi tub
    Jeff A.

    This is a beautiful hidden gym for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of town. Cute little cottages nestled in the forest off of the 38. The owners are so sweet with the fresh baked muffins beautiful wedding venue also. Pacific crest Trail runs right through the front of their property so if you're a hiker it's a great place to stay and do some exploring. They also have horse corrals if you want to use horses on the Pacific crest Trail. The owner said coming soon they're building a barn to also house indoor weddings down the road. But there is no cellular service unless you're on Verizon to me this was a good thing completely unplugged to unwind. Also at this point no data connection but the owner said Wi-Fi is coming soon.

    Great place to relax and feel rejuvenated. My dog had the time of her life playing with the owners two dog (Duke and Jack I think, a year old German Shepard and an older golden retriever) my dog Willow (Weimaraner) looked forward to the visits from Jack the Shepard. Vicki, Scott and Aimee thank you so much for having such a great place to relax with my dog. Big Bear lake is only minutes away to get supplies or to let the dog take a swim. The stars at night are beautiful and the roaring of the lion from next door is cool, something you don't hear everyday. Cabins are equipped with everything you need, ( shampoo, conditioner, towels, pots pans, dishes, silverware etc. ) barbecue on patio to use(gas). I would definitely recommend for a great retreat or get away. I can't wait till Willow and I can go back

    At the entry to Cienaga Creek property. Had to show off our city horses "roughing it" at our mountain retreat.

    Brought our city horses up for a long weekend of clean air, trail rides, and star gazing. We rented Koptich cabin, a cozy mountain retreat with nary a neighbor in sight. Brie, greeted us the minute we arrived and helped us set up the horses after making sure they had clean water. She was also our faithful trail guide, taking us on scenic trails up to gorgeous vistas and skyline views (make sure you hire her for the day to take you on the very best trails). The cabin was spotless with a full kitchen, downy comforters, a gas grill on the deck, and a fireplace stocked with wood for chilly mountain nights. We made fresh ground coffee and enjoyed their homemade cinnamon buns (delicious, thank you) by the corrals as our horses ate their breakfast. No cell phones meant a true unplugged experience, but we took oodles of photos on our epic trail rides and while watching the neon sunsets. Staying at Cienaga Creek is like having your very own vacation home to escape to with your horses (and dogs). Take highway 38 with its gentle incline that is easy on your truck and trailer and has no scary drop offs to worry about. The family that runs the place is charming and responsive, and provides you have everything you could possibly need. Bring a blanket for your horse, as the evenings can get chilly--and make sure you ask Brie for a guided tour--she's amazing and knows the mountain like the back of her hand.

    Our cabin for the weekend

    We stayed 2 nights here in the Wild Rose cabin and it was hard to leave. It was so cozy and relaxing to be away from home and the city. The view of the stars and sounds of the outside at nighttime are amazing and worth the drive/price alone! The baked goods were also a treat and a sweet surprise. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a short getaway and look forward to coming back!

    From the moment you walk in...heaven. We opened the door and heard the most beautiful calming music, two huge homemade cinnamon rolls sitting on a covered cake plate, and a homemade card welcoming us! The cabin was clean, warm, well appointed including fresh coffee beans and a grinder!!!! We had the most relaxing, romantic time, I'll never go anywhere else again!! It is pet friendly, which is a plus!

    The sky light above the bed. Amazing how many stars you can so clearly see at night.

    We only stayed one night in the Ironwood cabin but wish we could've stayed longer. This place is located on the east side of the mountain, just as an FYI ,and away from Big Bear but we loved it's seclusion. The best part about the Ironwood cabin is that it's set pretty far back so no other cabins are near you nor the main travel road used to access the other cabins. Sooo if you wanna parade around in your bday suit I think you're pretty safe from spectators. They leave little treats like orange juice and milk in the fridge and fruit. I chose to feed the apples they lto the friendly horses they have on the property :) When we entered they had sweet mood music playing quietly on a little CD player, it was so cute! The bathtub was my favorite part. Certainly big enough for 2 and the jets work great! The bedroom has a skylight over the bed. I loved and hated it. I loved it because you can star gaze all night! But hated it because unfortunately I did exactly that instead of sleeping. Though a perk of staying up all night are the sounds of the howling coyotes. It sounded beautiful. The two reasons I marked my rating down was 1) the toilet didn't automatically refill with water to flush, so you'd have to lift the lid and jiggle things around until it started doing what it's supposed to do. 2) the fire alarm kept going off when we used the oven!!! The thing is there was no smoke lol. Thankfully our little pizza only took 10 mins to cook. As a result we had to keep the door open (and it was freeeeeezing outside) just so the alarm wouldn't continuously be ringing. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

    I was looking for a place to unplug!!!! No phone, no cable, no internet, no traffic!!!! This place exceeded my expectations!!! The owners are the nicest most hospitable people. I stayed at The Kopitch Cabin surrounded by complete wilderness!!! It was just what my dog & I needed!!! The cabin itself was immaculate & very comfortable. Everything was very clean & fresh. I am very finicky about cleanliness haha and I give them a 5 star for sure. So many trails to walk your dog & explore off leash. I have been to several cabin properties in Big Bear area & Cienaga Creek Ranch has by far been the best!!!! I am so happy that I found this hidden gem. It has the secluded wilderness feel that I was looking for. Just note to self that I have AT&T cell phone service & had No Service during my stay apparently the tower is down but if you have Verizon your in business. So next time I will be prepared & bring along my niece & her phone haha. Also they have DVD players and some movies available but next time I would just bring some movies with me. And it's about 15 minutes to town, stores, restaurants etc. I brought my groceries so we didn't have to leave our cabin which made it the perfect getaway. I highly recommend these cabins if your looking for some R&R and to recharge your battery. I will be back for sure!!!! This is my new go to place when I want to getaway from the desert heat!!!! I'm looking forward to coming up again during the winter!!!! But I will probably be back before!!!!

    This is a nice, affordable place to stay in Big Bear...not too far from slopes, downtown, etc. (not…read morewalking distance though). We stayed in a kind bed suite room which gave us some extra elbow room. My ONLY complaint was the mattress. It curved in the middle so bad that I woke up with shoulder pain from leaning all night :-/ Our room 367, faced the main hwy but you couldn't hear traffic w/the window closed. These rooms have frig, micro, dishwasher, plates & cups so very convenient when traveling. The front desk staff was very friendly.

Our check-in time was 3:00 pm, and we arrived around 3:30 pm with three tired kids hoping to settle in quickly. Unfortunately, our room wasn't ready, so we waited in the lobby. At 4:00 pm we were assigned a room, but it still wasn't finished -- no sheets on the beds, no pillowcases, crumbs in the sink, and hair in the bathroom like someone had recently shaved. It seemed like there was miscommunication between the front desk and housekeeping. We finally got into a fully cleaned room around 4:30 pm. After a long day of traveling with kids, it was definitely disappointing. That said, the staff members who were working truly made a difference. Joshua, who checked us in, was very apologetic. He was the only person working the front desk at the time. He stayed professional the entire time. A huge shoutout also goes to Edwin, who was working unbelievably hard. We saw him helping with rooms, assisting at breakfast, and keeping things running smoothly. His work ethic really stood out and he deserves recognition. Once we settled in, the hotel had lots of positives: The complimentary s'mores kits were a big hit with the kids. Each kit included four marshmallows, one Hershey's bar, and four graham crackers, wrapped in a festive Thanksgiving bag. The outdoor fireplace courtyard is huge and made the experience even better. This was especially great because the little town of Big Bear tends to close early, so having this activity at the hotel was perfect. The pool area was clean and well maintained, which is also perfect option for family with kids (just a way to entertain them while having fun). The complimentary breakfast was also surprisingly good. The waffles were awesome, and there were plenty of options like cereal, oatmeal, eggs, and potatoes. I would love to see a few more condiments added (like mayonnaise or mustard), but overall it was a great breakfast spread. The room layout was spacious, very comfortable, and perfect for a family. Despite the rocky start at check-in, the hotel has a lot of charm, great amenities, and truly hardworking staff members who care.

From the moment we arrived, Joel made us feel completely at home. He took the time to explain all of the hotel's amenities and made sure we knew about all the fun extras, including Taco Tuesday, movie night for the kids with s'mores, the fire pits, and even the unique beer tap in the lobby that guests can access with their room key. Thanks to Joel, we got to enjoy so much more than just a hotel stay. We had a bit of a rough start to our trip when one of my children got carsick on the drive up. Joel immediately stepped in with cleaning supplies and genuine kindness and concern. His compassion and willingness to help meant so much to me as a mom traveling with two kids. Since my husband was in town for work and couldn't help us the entire time, I was handling the kids on my own and wasn't very prepared for our last-minute trip. Joel went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and helped arrange a room closer to the entrance, which made a huge difference for us. The hotel itself was fantastic. Everything was spotless, the indoor pool was amazing, and the outdoor fire pits and s'mores nights created such a fun family atmosphere. My kids had an incredible time, and we enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend it for another night and spend another beautiful day in the mountains. Joel's exceptional customer service truly made this trip special. He is caring, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making guests feel welcome. We left with wonderful memories and are already dreaming of coming back. Thank you, Joel, for taking such great care of our family!

It's a full-service hotel right in the heart of the Village -- one short block to the lake, shops, and restaurants (and right across from the bowling alley). Easy parking and EV charging available, which is a huge bonus. Janet, Maddie, and Louie greeted us and were absolutely amazing. Genuine, welcoming, and thoughtful. They even gifted us complimentary mugs and were so kind to our son, giving him a patch for his jacket or hat. That kind of hospitality stands out. And the freshly baked s'mores cookies? Unreal. Warm, gooey, perfectly toasted marshmallow and melted chocolate. Honestly better than DoubleTree cookies -- and yes, even better than the famous Disney park cookies. They're that good. Spotless room, beautiful Village views, pet-friendly, incredible service, and an unbeatable location. Five stars without hesitation. We'll absolutely be back -- especially for those cookies.
