2/10 Poor

Gas leaking on property had to move down the road to a horrible motel room, small, upstairs had to carry all our luggage, no place to put clothes but on the floor, the bed was hard as a rock with a big Slope in the middle that gave me a back ache That place was very unnerving at night, did not feel safe at all

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!"

My reservation was all set by phone,they gave me the address and it was the wrong location I texted them and they responded with an apology and gave me the right address. When we arrived the lights over the fire place didn’t work the room was dark it needs a little up care, I’d rather see a front desk and talk to someone,will not do another phone reservation again

Cathy’s Cottages was so nice. Yes, it is a bit older and rustic, but that is what you want when you come to Big Bear Lake. Everything was clean in the cottage and it was very peaceful. We loved the memory foam mattress, the fireplace on a timer and the jetted tub. It was a perfect weekend getaway. Also you can park your car right out in the space in front of your unit. Amanda was such a sweetheart checking in on us because we were arriving very late from Las Vegas and she wanted to make sure we got into our cabin alright. Thanks Amanda for the special attention.

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.

The owner has more then one property at Big Bear and the directions to the site I booked were unclear. Consequently, it took us an extra hour to get help finding our booked property. Otherwise it was a lovely room and convenient, easy location and parking

8/10 Very good

Quaint and great for the area
The place was a little worn but you don’t want somewhere in an outdoorsy mountain town to be pristine; it would distract from the environment. A stay in May is great. Chilly outside but warm in the little cabin. Great contrast. The jetted tub next to the fireplace, in view of the tv, was pretty awesome. The internet was spotty in my phone and iPad but worked fine with the streaming device I brought. I did need to bring a streaming device because there was no cable or tv signal. There’s no check in at the property. It’s all via web and text. Even still, customer service was good via text. Would definitely recommend.
