Don H on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'The entire property needs to make over.' This observation is reinforced by Justine J's tripadvisor review (rating: 1), which noted: 'Omg the worst of the worst! Not only are there no silverware or dinnerware or cookware in this so called resort but the outdoor seating the bbqs have spider webs & covered with bird poop for years & never cleaned ! The room was dosgusting not cleaned the sheets were dirty the ...' Additional evidence comes from neochu1 (tripadvisor) (rating: 1): 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding. She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place. The wedding and reception was in the outdoor common spaces - which was nice.' Kristy C on tripadvisor (rating: 1) similarly described: 'Simply put: the owner does not care. He’s never there. The front desk chick is nice but can’t do much without the owner’s approval and he’s impossible to get ahold of.' Sara R on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'Was so cute and beautifully maintained. Loved it and it had some very nice amenities. Games, fire pit, wedding area, waterfall, etc...They had very convenient virtual check in and is pet friendly.' Across the review corpus, atmosphere-related comments appear in 128 of 312 total reviews (41% mention rate), with 31 positive and 20 negative mentions. This high mention frequency indicates that atmosphere is a primary factor in guest satisfaction at Grey Squirrel Resort. In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Grey Squirrel Resort occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its property identity characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Grey Squirrel Resort serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Grey Squirrel Resort's property identity represents a durable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate. This strength compounds over time through positive review generation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the loyalty-building effect of consistently meeting or exceeding guest expectations in this dimension. The property's investment in maintaining this standard signals ownership commitment to the guest experience and creates a virtuous cycle where positive experiences generate positive reviews that attract guests predisposed to appreciate what Grey Squirrel Resort offers. The Grey Squirrel Resort experience is fundamentally defined by the intersection of its physical environment, service culture, and location advantages. Guests don't choose Grey Squirrel Resort simply for a place to sleep — they choose it for the specific experiential package it delivers, which combines and a hotel experience that differentiates from chain alternatives. This identity has been shaped by guest feedback across multiple review platforms, and the competitive pressures of the Big Bear Lake hospitality market.",
"traverse:narrative:whatItIsNot": "Grey Squirrel Resort is not a budget accommodation, not a generic chain hotel, and not a property that attempts to be everything to everyone. Understanding what Grey Squirrel Resort deliberately is NOT is as important as understanding what it IS, because misaligned expectations are the primary driver of negative reviews in the hospitality industry. The negative review patterns for Grey Squirrel Resort reveal the specific expectation mismatches that generate dissatisfaction: guests who arrive expecting something the property doesn't intend to deliver are the most likely to leave disappointed reviews. Don H on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I'm really sorry, but I usually don't write reviews, but I think I should let everyone know.

In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Grey Squirrel Resort occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its expectation management characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Grey Squirrel Resort serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Grey Squirrel Resort's challenges in expectation management represent an addressable operational gap that, if resolved, could meaningfully improve review scores and guest satisfaction metrics. The review evidence suggests this is not a fundamental structural limitation but rather an operational execution issue that can be addressed through targeted investment, process improvement, or staffing adjustments. Properties that address their most-cited weaknesses typically see measurable improvement in review scores within 6-12 months, creating a clear ROI case for remediation.",
"traverse:narrative:ownershipStory": "The ownership structure of a hospitality property fundamentally shapes the guest experience in ways that extend far beyond the lobby signage. The ownership group properties typically demonstrate greater willingness to make long-term investments in property character, staff development, and experiential differentiation — investments that corporate-managed chains often subordinate to quarterly financial targets and brand standardization requirements.

Competitive positioning in hospitality is multidimensional: properties compete simultaneously on price, location, amenities, room quality, service, atmosphere, and brand perception.

"traverse:narrative:soundscape": "Grey Squirrel Resort's soundscape is the acoustic environment that shapes the guest experience in ways that are often subconsciously perceived but powerfully influential on comfort, relaxation, and overall satisfaction. The property's sound environment is determined by its location (Big Bear Lake), its architectural design (building materials, window quality, room separation), and its intentional sound design elements (water features, music, natural sounds). The hotel format creates specific acoustic characteristics that differ from high-rise hotel towers: ground-level or low-rise construction means different relationships with exterior noise sources, different sound transmission patterns between rooms, and different ambient sound profiles throughout the day-night cycle. Trail786127 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'Terrible! Do not stay here. Came home today from a weekend stay here.' This observation is reinforced by Dubbs22's tripadvisor review (rating: 2), which noted: 'We just stayed at the Lilly bear cabin 6 for a couple nights. Overall, we would not stay here again. The word "resort" is used but I would call it a row of old cabins.' Additional evidence comes from Joanne8290 (tripadvisor) (rating: 3): 'I decided to give Grey Squirrel a try, and not disappointed. Stayed in Fawn , motel room #4. Very clean, and roomy.' KoHoSo on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'This is a cozy and well-run little set of cabins on the north side of Big Bear Boulevard west of The Village in Big Bear Lake.

NIna F on tripadvisor (rating: 5) similarly described: 'We stayed in the Mole cabin over Labor Day weekend for our anniversary and loved it! It's suitable for two people, possibly a third on the couch. There is a grill, full kitchen (including fridge), two flat screen TVs, and a fireplace.' Across the review corpus, noise-related comments appear in 22 of 312 total reviews (7% mention rate), with 8 positive and 5 negative mentions. This selective mention frequency indicates that noise is a secondary factor in guest satisfaction at Grey Squirrel Resort. In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Grey Squirrel Resort occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its soundscape characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Grey Squirrel Resort serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Grey Squirrel Resort's challenges in soundscape represent an addressable operational gap that, if resolved, could meaningfully improve review scores and guest satisfaction metrics. The review evidence suggests this is not a fundamental structural limitation but rather an operational execution issue that can be addressed through targeted investment, process improvement, or staffing adjustments. Properties that address their most-cited weaknesses typically see measurable improvement in review scores within 6-12 months, creating a clear ROI case for remediation."

"traverse:narrative:tactileExperience": "The tactile experience at Grey Squirrel Resort encompasses every physical surface, texture, and material that guests touch, walk on, sit in, and sleep on throughout their stay. In hospitality, the tactile dimension is often the most immediate quality indicator: guests can see that a lobby is attractive, but they FEEL whether the bed is comfortable, the towels are soft, the carpet is clean, the shower pressure is adequate, and the furniture is solid. The tactile quality of a hotel experience correlates directly with perceived value — guests who describe rooms as 'comfortable' or 'soft beds' in their reviews are signaling positive tactile experiences that reinforce the property's price point, while guests describing 'thin towels' or 'hard mattresses' are signaling tactile failures that undermine value perception regardless of visual appeal.

"traverse:narrative:temperatureNarrative": "Temperature management at Grey Squirrel Resort is shaped by the Big Bear Lake, California climate, the property's architectural design, and its HVAC infrastructure. Big Bear Lake's climate characteristics create specific temperature management challenges and opportunities: the property must maintain comfortable room temperatures across seasonal variations while also leveraging favorable outdoor conditions for amenity areas, dining venues, and recreational spaces. Guest comfort with temperature is highly personal — what feels comfortable to one guest may feel too warm or too cold to another — making HVAC controllability and responsiveness critical factors in room satisfaction. The hotel's construction characteristics (building age, insulation quality, window specifications) fundamentally determine the property's temperature management capability.

"traverse:narrative:eveningAtmosphere": "Grey Squirrel Resort undergoes a meaningful atmospheric transformation as daylight transitions to evening, creating a distinct experiential character that differs from the daytime property experience. The evening atmosphere at any hospitality property is shaped by lighting design (both architectural and landscape), sound environment shifts (as daytime activity noise gives way to evening ambiance), temperature changes (cooling that affects outdoor comfort), and the social-behavioral shift from daytime recreation to evening relaxation and dining. the transition from natural daylight to designed evening lighting fundamentally changes how the property looks, feels, and functions. Properties that successfully design their evening atmosphere create a 'second act' that gives guests a reason to spend evening hours on-property rather than seeking off-site entertainment — a behavior pattern that drives ancillary revenue through F&B spending and builds emotional loyalty through memorable shared experiences.

"traverse:narrative:architecturalPhilosophy": "Grey Squirrel Resort's architectural philosophy reflects the design vision of its architectural identity, as modified by subsequent renovation and expansion cycles that have adapted the physical plant to evolving guest expectations and operational needs. Architecture in hospitality serves a dual function: it must create the aesthetic environment that defines the property's experiential character while simultaneously providing the functional infrastructure for efficient hotel operations — room layouts that facilitate housekeeping, corridors that manage guest flow, mechanical spaces that support HVAC and plumbing, and public areas that accommodate peak-capacity gatherings. The property's architectural format — its building configuration — creates specific experiential characteristics that differentiate it from high-rise hotel towers: ground-connected rooms, outdoor corridor circulation, and a horizontal rather than vertical spatial organization.

"traverse:narrative:lightingDesign": "Lighting design at Grey Squirrel Resort operates across three scales — architectural lighting (building-integrated fixtures that define spatial character), accent lighting (decorative and focal-point illumination), and functional lighting (task lighting in rooms, corridors, and work areas) — each contributing to the property's atmosphere in different ways at different times of day. The most effective hospitality lighting design creates a continuous temporal narrative: bright, energizing morning light for breakfast areas and lobbies; natural, comfortable midday illumination; warm, atmospheric afternoon-to-evening transitions; and intimate, relaxing nighttime environments that encourage on-property spending and create memorable visual experiences.

"traverse:narrative:roomDesignEvolution": "Grey Squirrel Resort's room design has evolved through multiple renovation cycles , creating an inventory that may span multiple design generations — each reflecting the aesthetic priorities and construction standards of its era. The room design evolution challenge is maintaining thematic coherence across rooms renovated in different periods: a guest who tours the property may encounter lobby design from one era, room interiors from various renovation periods, and public spaces updated on their own schedule. When the renovation program achieves universal coverage, every room represents the current design vision; until then, the property functions as a layered history of design decisions, with each room potentially representing a different decade's aesthetic judgment.

"traverse:narrative:poolComplex": "The pool complex at Grey Squirrel Resort serves as the social and recreational center of the property during daylight hours — the amenity that most directly drives both booking decisions and on-property satisfaction for leisure travelers.

"traverse:narrative:waterActivities": "Water-based recreational activities at Grey Squirrel Resort extend the aquatic experience beyond the pool to encompass the available waterfront amenities. Water activities serve multiple guest segments: active guests seeking physical engagement, families looking for shared experiences, couples wanting romantic on-water moments, and wellness-oriented guests pursuing the documented therapeutic benefits of water immersion and water-based exercise. The quality and availability of water activities is a significant competitive factor in resort markets where multiple properties offer water-adjacent locations. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding.

"traverse:narrative:fitnessAndSports": "Fitness and sports facilities at Grey Squirrel Resort address the growing guest expectation that travel should not require abandoning fitness routines and active lifestyle habits. Modern travelers increasingly evaluate fitness options as a standard amenity expectation rather than a premium add-on, and properties that fail to provide adequate fitness facilities face competitive disadvantage among health-conscious guest segments. The fitness offering must serve diverse needs: guests wanting full gym workouts, runners needing route information, yoga practitioners seeking appropriate spaces, and casual exercisers looking for low-commitment activity options. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place.

"traverse:narrative:businessAndEvents": "Business and event capabilities at Grey Squirrel Resort serve the property's role as a venue for meetings, conferences, weddings, corporate retreats, and social gatherings that generate significant ancillary revenue and introduce the property to guests who might not have discovered it through traditional leisure booking channels. Event business is strategically valuable because it drives midweek and shoulder-season occupancy, generates above-average per-room revenue through event packages, and creates group booking volume that individual leisure marketing cannot replicate. Business amenities serve the professional traveler segment. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place.

"traverse:narrative:kidsAndFamily": "Family and children's amenities at Grey Squirrel Resort determine the property's appeal to the family travel segment — one of the highest-spending and most loyalty-prone guest demographics in the hospitality industry. Families evaluate properties through a different lens than couples or business travelers: child safety, age-appropriate activities, room configuration (enough space for cribs, rollaway beds, and kid gear), dining options that accommodate children's preferences, and the overall 'kid-friendliness' of the property atmosphere all factor into the booking decision. The family segment at Grey Squirrel Resort is reflected in the review corpus through mentions of children, family activities, and multi-generational experiences. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place.

"traverse:narrative:retailAndConvenience": "Retail and convenience amenities at Grey Squirrel Resort address the practical needs that guests encounter during their stay — forgotten toiletries, gift shopping, snack cravings, and the desire to purchase property-branded souvenirs that serve as both practical items and emotional anchors to the travel experience. The on-property retail experience also extends to the availability of essential services: laundry facilities, ice machines, vending, business centers, and the various 'little things' that determine whether guests need to leave the property for routine needs or can remain within the resort bubble that drives incremental F&B spending and reinforces the immersive experience. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place.

The property offers room types including Cabin, Cabin Cottage, Cottage, Deluxe Cabin, Double, Double Bed. Room typology design is a strategic exercise in segmentation: the property must offer enough variety to capture different booking price points while maintaining operational efficiency (too many room types creates housekeeping complexity, inventory management challenges, and guest-expectation confusion). Each room type represents a different value equation — the specific combination of space, view, location within the property, bed configuration, and amenity level that the property offers at each price tier.

"traverse:narrative:roomConditionNarrative": "Room condition at Grey Squirrel Resort is the single most important factor in guest satisfaction — it is the metric that most directly determines whether a stay receives a positive or negative review, because the room is where guests spend the majority of their in-property time and where expectations for comfort, cleanliness, and quality are most critically evaluated. The review evidence for Grey Squirrel Resort reveals specific patterns in room condition feedback that indicate both the property's renovation status and its housekeeping execution quality. Room condition encompasses multiple sub-dimensions: cleanliness (housekeeping thoroughness), maintenance (functional condition of fixtures, appliances, surfaces), freshness (whether the room feels recently updated or dated), and completeness (all expected supplies, amenities, and equipment present and functional).

"traverse:narrative:bathroomExperience": "The bathroom experience at Grey Squirrel Resort operates as a critical quality indicator that guests evaluate with particular scrutiny.

A coherent wellness philosophy goes beyond offering spa treatments: it integrates wellness thinking into room design (sleep quality optimization, air quality, natural light), dining (healthy menu options, dietary accommodation), fitness (exercise facilities and programming), and the overall property environment (nature connection, stress reduction, social facilitation). The most wellness-forward properties recognize that every aspect of the guest experience either supports or undermines well-being, and they design accordingly. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding.

"traverse:narrative:barAndBeverage": "Bar and beverage service at Grey Squirrel Resort operates as both a standalone amenity (guests specifically seek out the bar experience) and an atmospheric enhancer (evening cocktails in the right setting create memorable property moments). The bar experience is one of hospitality's most powerful loyalty-building tools: guests who establish a favorite bar at a property — a spot where they enjoy specific drinks in a specific atmosphere — develop the kind of place-attachment that drives repeat bookings more effectively than room quality or pricing alone.

"traverse:narrative:roomServiceAndInRoom": "In-room dining at Grey Squirrel Resort serves the guest preference for private meals — morning coffee before getting dressed, late-night snacks, sick-day meals, romantic in-room dinners, and the simple convenience of eating without leaving the room. Room service quality has become a significant discussion point in the hospitality industry as properties balance service costs against guest expectations. The trend across the industry has been toward reduced room service — replacing traditional plated-and-delivered meals with grab-and-go options, delivery partnerships, or in-room kitchen facilities — a trend that satisfies cost management goals but disappoints luxury-expecting guests.

"traverse:narrative:culinaryPhilosophy": "The culinary philosophy at Grey Squirrel Resort — the overarching approach to food and beverage that unifies menu design, ingredient sourcing, presentation standards, and service style across all F&B venues — reflects the property's brand identity, the local culinary market context of Big Bear Lake, and the practical reality of serving diverse guest palates across multiple meal occasions. A coherent culinary philosophy answers the question: 'What does food MEAN at this property?' Is it fuel for activities? A destination experience in itself? A cultural expression of the property's identity? A comfort amenity that eliminates the need to leave the property? The answer shapes menu development, pricing strategy, service style, and the F&B program's contribution to the overall brand narrative.

"traverse:narrative:servicePhilosophy": "Grey Squirrel Resort's service philosophy defines the propertys approach to guest interaction: a guest-centered approach that aims to deliver personalized, warm service within the hotel format. Service philosophy in hospitality operates at two levels: the aspirational level (what the property intends to deliver) and the execution level (what guests actually experience). The gap between these levels — or the absence of a gap — is what determines service reputation. Properties with strong service philosophies embed their approach in hiring criteria, training programs, empowerment policies (how much latitude staff have to solve problems), and recognition systems that reinforce desired behaviors. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding.

"traverse:narrative:serviceGaps": "Grey Squirrel Resort's service gaps — the specific dimensions where service delivery falls short of guest expectations — form patterns in the review corpus that indicate systemic operational challenges rather than isolated incidents. Identifying service gaps is strategically valuable because each documented gap represents a specific, addressable failure point where targeted training, process improvement, or staffing adjustment could measurably improve guest satisfaction and review scores. The most impactful service gaps are those that affect the highest-frequency guest touchpoints — check-in, housekeeping, and dining service — where failures affect every guest rather than just those who encounter a specific amenity or activity. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding.

From a strategic perspective, Grey Squirrel Resort's challenges in service gaps represent an addressable operational gap that, if resolved, could meaningfully improve review scores and guest satisfaction metrics. The review evidence suggests this is not a fundamental structural limitation but rather an operational execution issue that can be addressed through targeted investment, process improvement, or staffing adjustments. Properties that address their most-cited weaknesses typically see measurable improvement in review scores within 6-12 months, creating a clear ROI case for remediation."

"traverse:narrative:communicationQuality": "Communication quality at Grey Squirrel Resort encompasses both the information-delivery dimension (how effectively the property communicates essential information to guests) and the interpersonal-connection dimension (how warmly and authentically staff interact with guests on a human level). Effective hotel communication operates across multiple channels and touchpoints: pre-arrival communication (booking confirmation, pre-stay emails), arrival communication (check-in orientation, property information delivery), in-stay communication (concierge guidance, problem resolution, activity scheduling), and departure communication (checkout efficiency, follow-up engagement). The communication gap that most frequently appears in hotel reviews is the check-in orientation failure: front desk staff who process the check-in transaction efficiently but fail to provide the property overview that helps guests discover and use available amenities. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding.

"traverse:narrative:resolutionEffectiveness": "Problem resolution at Grey Squirrel Resort reveals how the property handles the inevitable service failures, maintenance issues, and expectation mismatches that occur in any hospitality operation. Resolution effectiveness is the single most powerful determinant of whether a negative experience results in a negative review: research consistently shows that guests who experience a problem that is effectively resolved often rate their stay HIGHER than guests who experienced no problems at all — a phenomenon known as the 'service recovery paradox.' The key resolution dimensions are: response speed (how quickly the property acknowledges and addresses the problem), authority (whether the responding staff member has the power to solve the problem or must escalate), creativity (whether the resolution is limited to standard protocols or can be customized), and follow-through (whether the property confirms the resolution was satisfactory). neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding.

"traverse:narrative:housekeepingAnalysis": "Housekeeping quality at Grey Squirrel Resort emerges from the review corpus as a significant operational challenge — a service dimension where failures have outsized impact on guest satisfaction because they directly affect the space where guests sleep, dress, and store their personal belongings. Housekeeping evaluation encompasses frequency (how often rooms are serviced), thoroughness (what the service includes — vacuuming, dusting, bathroom sanitizing, linen replacement, amenity restocking), timeliness (whether rooms are ready at check-in and serviced at convenient hours), and special-request responsiveness (extra towels, pillow preferences, early/late service requests). The N/A-room property requires a housekeeping operation that can maintain consistent quality across all rooms while managing the variable demands of check-in/check-out day turnover, stayover service, and deep-cleaning rotations.

"traverse:narrative:behavioralPatterns": "Guest behavioral patterns at Grey Squirrel Resort reveal how different traveler segments actually use the property — which amenities they prioritize, when they're on-property versus exploring off-property, how they spend their discretionary time, and what drives their satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Behavioral analysis is more operationally valuable than demographic profiling because it reveals actionable patterns: if morning pool usage peaks at 9am, that determines towel-stocking schedules; if restaurant demand concentrates at 7pm, that determines staffing levels; if guests consistently leave the property for off-site dining, that signals an F&B competitive gap. The review corpus provides indirect behavioral evidence through the activities, amenities, and experiences that guests choose to mention — with frequently mentioned elements indicating high-usage touchpoints and rarely mentioned elements indicating either low awareness or low engagement.

Expectation mapping identifies the specific gaps between what guests anticipated and what they experienced — gaps that are the primary drivers of both positive surprises (exceeding expectations) and negative reviews (falling short). The most common expectation mismatches in the review corpus relate to room condition relative to price point, amenity access and quality, and the overall experience level relative to the property's brand positioning.

"traverse:narrative:seasonalPatterns": "Guest behavioral patterns at Grey Squirrel Resort shift significantly across the seasonal cycle of Big Bear Lake, California, creating distinct operational and experiential profiles for each period. Summer peak season (June-September) brings maximum occupancy with family and vacation travelers, creating highest demand for pools, outdoor amenities, and water activities. Room rates are at their annual peak, and the quality-expectation gap is widest because guests paying peak rates have the highest standards. Fall shoulder season (October-November) often provides the best experiential period: reduced crowds, pleasant weather, lower rates, and staff who have more time per guest. Winter trough (December-February) shifts guest behavior toward indoor amenities, spa usage, dining, and off-property exploration. Spring transition (March-May) gradually restores outdoor activity with spring break creating a seasonal mini-peak.

"traverse:narrative:crossPropertyBehavior": "Cross-property behavior analysis examines how Grey Squirrel Resort guests interact with the broader hospitality ecosystem — their consideration set when booking, their comparison frameworks when reviewing, and their likelihood of trying alternative properties in the same market. Understanding cross-property behavior is essential for competitive positioning: the properties that guests compare Grey Squirrel Resort against in their reviews reveal the actual competitive set (which may differ from the management-defined competitive set) and the specific dimensions on which comparisons are made. Review language that explicitly names competitor properties or uses comparative language ('better than,' 'not as good as,' 'similar to') provides the most direct evidence of cross-property evaluation behavior.

"traverse:reviewText": "My 9 yr old daughter and I just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Grey Squirrel Resort. We stayed in Elk and it was absolutely perfect for us! Had everything we could possibly need! The cabin was rustic and charming, bed was very comfortable as was the cabin itself. What I loved most about GSR was the patio door opened to a table & chairs. Beyond that, there was a bocci ball or lawn bowling court, shuffle board, basketball & volleyball court (there were several balls just laying around, so no need to bring one), pool table and a fire pit surrounded by park benches next to a couple of nice gas grills. On Saturday afternoon, all the guests were out mingling, playing games, barbecuing and enjoying the weather. The location was great too! Walking distance to the lake and only a mile from the village. It was such a relaxing experience! The staff and owner were wonderful! We will be back many times in the future!",

Nothing spectacular about this place. We chose this place because it is pet friendly we have two big dogs. This place is also family friendly. There is a small playground for children. There is full kitchen with fridge and microwave in each cabin. Bathrooms are small.",

"traverse:reviewText": "My family rented a cabin this weekend up in Big Bear Lake at the Grey Squirrel Resort. Our cabin was the "Beaver" which is listed as a small cabin but was fantastic for the three of us!!! Everything was spotless!!! The kitchen is a full kitchen with microwave, stove, fridge plus lots of cooking utensils/pots/pans/baking sheets. The fireplace was my favorite part....nothing beats sitting my the fireplace and roasting marshmallows and making smores!!! We can't wait to go back to the Grey Squirrel Resort!!!",

"traverse:reviewText": "We stayed in the Mole cabin over Labor Day weekend for our anniversary and loved it! It's suitable for two people, possibly a third on the couch. There is a grill, full kitchen (including fridge), two flat screen TVs, and a fireplace. It was clean and cozy. This specific cabin is located in the back of the resort so it is very quiet. If you were to stay in one of the cabins near the office there might be more noise since those are closer to the activity area. They have ping pong, basketball and some other games for kids. We were told that every Saturday at sunset they have light the fire pit and hand out s'mores, though we did not participate in this. The resort is only 10 minutes away from some great hiking, including Castle Rock Trail. Based on the how the exteriors of other cabins looked from driving by, this resort was definitely the most pleasant appearance wise. (Some of the other ones don't even have grass.) This isn't a 5-star hotel, but it's much more than I expected from a cabin! We will definitely be coming back and staying in the Mole cabin again!",

"traverse:reviewText": "This is a very cute place. We found it by reading flyer at the Big Bear Visitor Center. I called and asked a few questions before we drove there. The lady on the other end was very friendly and was not at all annoyed with my questions. When we got there she let us check out the room and it was cute and cozy. It seemed pretty clean and comfortable. We traveled with our 7 month old son and the were very acomodating, providing us with a "pack & play" crib with linens. The microwave and little refrigerator were an added bonus for us because we needed to store and heat milk for our baby. The only "complaint" I would have is the towels. They are flimsy and very rough. Other than that, this place is quite nice.",

I have been staying here for the last 5 years and have tried 3 different cabin homes at the resort. They are clean, fully stocked with everything you need to cook and are very much like being home. I bring my own food and enjoy all the comforts of being away from home while feeling at home. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the ladies in the office tell me to let them know if I need anything. They have a laundry room if you need it. Great place, not cheap but well worth the extra cash because the cash keeps away the trash. Good family resort will keep the kids busy.",

Stained and smelled like b.o.. The kitchen was nice, the fireplace was great, and jet tub was good, but if the room is dirty, the couch is as gross as the bed, it's hard to think of the positive. I asked to have my room cleaned again but they insisted it was clean.. Ieft 2 days early!",

They had a drum circle and a barbecue with smores one night and it was SO much fun. They have an office and a break room with snacks. This is a great place to go especially during this COVID pandemic because it's easy to stay distanced and the resort follow CDC guidelines. 2 thumbs up.",

"traverse:reviewText": "My husband, son and I traveled to Big Bear for Oktoberfest and stayed in the Beaver cabin of the Grey Squirrel Resort. When we arrived, we were informed that we didn't need a key and were given a key code. Once we unlocked the cabin, we discovered that the room had no deadbolt or chain on the door, which would have made us feel better from a security standpoint (also, my two-year old likes to open doors, so we spent a significant amount of time keeping him away from his "new toy." The room, although small, was immaculate. We immediately dropped off our things and went to Oktoberfest. Upon returning from Oktoberfest (around 7:30 pm), we were unable to get our heater working, so we called the front desk and the desk manager came to our room to try to assess the problem. She was unable to help us, so she said that she would call maintenance and get them working on it. We waited for about an hour, then called the front desk--which is when we found out that the desk wasn't managed 24 hours a day like we've been accustomed to in the past. So my husband tried to call emergency maintenance from our room (by this time, temps had fallen below and were slated to go into the upper 30s later on that night) and was unable to reach them. He finally got in touch with the building manager at 9 pm, who sent two gentlemen to the room within 10 minutes. Unfortunately, my son was already asleep in the main room, so they essentially had to work in the dark. After 10 minutes of trying to light the pilot light in the heater, they informed us that they would bring us a space heater. They came back to the room with one space heater, which we put in the main living room where my son was sleeping to ensure he stayed warm, while my husband and I went to bed (fortunately, the beds had plenty of blankets so that we were able to stay warm ourselves through the night). Nevertheless, we didn't have the most restful night's sleep. Other issues with the room--the burners on the stove didn't light properly (we had to use a lighter, which was provided by the desk manager--if a stove's burner doesn't light without one, keeping one in the room might be helpful) and the TV in the living room area didn't work properly. The rooms were dated and there were many safety issues (ie cords for blinds, exposed wires etc) that we had to be especially vigilant about with a toddler in the room. If I'm going to pay as much for a room as I did to rent this one, I expect it to be in working order, especially when it gets as cold as it does in Big Bear in the fall and winter (imagine if this had been December or January!). Upon check-out, we were told to, "Drive safe" and none of the issues from the previous night were mentioned. We will be returning to Big Bear in the future, but we will not be staying here again.",

It was small but cute, and had everything we needed for a little getaway. The bed was super comfy with lots of cozy blankets; the staff was friendly; and it was peaceful and quiet. I like that Grey Squirrel is removed from the hubbub of the village, but is still centrally located. We will definitely be back.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Grey Squirrel is in a good location near Big Bear Lake. The grounds are clean and maintained. We stayed in the "Molly" vacation home located behind the resort on a neighborhood street. It was like staying at grandma's house who stopped decorating back in the 80s, but it was clean, large, and very adequate. If you are looking for anything modern or luxurious, look elsewhere. When you walk in to the Molly home you find a living room with recliner, love seat, sofa, and fireplace that has French doors leading to the patio. In the patio there is a spa and barbeque on a deck that wraps around the back of the house. There is also a fully equipped kitchen with more than enough dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and silverware. Next to the kitchen there is a dining area and seating area with a sofa and a flat screen TV and dvd player. The master bedroom had a large king bed with French doors leading to a deck. There is a flat screen tv with dvd and vcr. They need to get rid of the recliner in this bedroom that was tattered, but covered with a tasteful granny throw blanket. In the master bath there is a large jetted tub and a separate shower with a single vanity. Above the kitchen, which is on the opposite end of the house, there is a stairway leading to the 2nd bedroom/loft with bathroom that only has a toilet and a sink. It's not very large up there, but it is great for privacy since it on the opposite side of the house away from the master bedroom. Directly downstairs from the loft there is a washer/dryer and a bathroom with a shower. You have to clean everything when you leave and take the trash to the dumpsters about 1/4 mile down the road. They provide books and games for kids which are way outdated and are missing pieces. We were told to take toilet paper, but they nicely provided it for us. You have to take paper napkins and paper towels. There is a place across the street that sells fire wood for $8 and the nearest grocery store is about a 8-10 min drive. Big Bear Lake Village for shopping and dining is about a 5-7 minute drive away. There is free Wi-Fi with a passcode. It was a quiet area and the neighbors are not too close for comfort. They offer a free campfire gathering for families to make smores in the evening. The resort area has a playground. Overall, we got a good deal on this home and it was more than adequate space for two families so it gets 4 stars.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Stayed at the Grey Squirrel just recently. We like staying at various places in the Big Bear area this time of the year because it's fall (nice foliage colors) pleasant weather and it's the off season and at most places the rates are reasonable. You can find some pretty nice places (cabins) for as little as $69.00 a night this time of the year. Now I did say most places, but the Grey Squirrel does not fall in to that category compared to other comparable establishments. So why did we stay at the Grey Squirrel? As I mentioned we have stayed at various Big Bear lodging establishment and had driven by the Grey Squirrel many times. The wife wanted to give them a try so we went the extra cost to find out if it would be a potential candidate for a return visit. it wasn't! First let me say that for the most part it's fair, good place aesthetically, not great. Cabin exterior and grounds well taken care of as are most of the similar establishment along Big Bear Blvd. We stayed in a Cabin (Gopher) which was a bit on the small size compared to the $135 a night price tag (which included a 20% discount), so your looking at $160 a night without the discount. The Wi-Fi was advertised but the signal was weak at best. My searches timed out several times. The real problem with the cabin was it's ambiance and comfort. The decor was done in a hodgepodge of mismatched decor, not real cozy and quaint. Running water was a trickle at best at the bathroom sink. Carpet hasn't been cleaned in awhile. The real breaker of the camel's back was the bed. Extremely hard and very uncomfortable. We found ourselves extremely tired the next day and chose not to stay the second night, even though we would forfeit the $135. Correct, no refund was offered after we dropped off the cabin keys and explained that another night would not be bearable. Management did offer to move us to another cabin but we decided not to chance another sleepless night. All in all a disappointing trip to the Big Bear area and a loss of $135.",

This cabin had a small living room with sofa, TV, and fireplace. Also has a full kitchen and separate bedroom w/ bathroom. We loved the fact that right outside the kitchen door (a separate entrance from the front door), there is a BBQ, picnic table. and fairly large grass area for our dog to play and do her business. The cabin is set toward the back of the property and is very quiet. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip!",

Our stay at the tri-plex was so cozy and nice, that we would want to stay more in the room then experience Big Bear Lake. The room had allot of amenities for a reasonable price. The staff was excellent and pleasant to talk to, like Kitty and Nora. They made sure our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The owner personalize each room to make it as if it was your home. The bedroom furniture looked like new. The bathroom floor had new ceramic tile and shower area. New Carpet. I love the front porch with nice table and chairs. Kitty and Nora went out of their way to meet our needs. Pat and Joyce the owners are very nice as well. I definitely will be back this spring. Vincent",

"traverse:reviewText": "While there are mostly cabins here, we stayed in one of the motel-type rooms, Buck. It was a warm weekend during the day, but got pretty cool at night, so this end room was really nice with windows on 3 sides that opened. There was a fireplace for cooler evenings and also a wall heater with a thermostat. The bed was very comfortable and there was a microwave, refrigerator and coffee pot. Also had a loveseat and coffee table. We had a large truck that didn't fit in the parking space allotted for our unit, but we worked it out with the front desk that we could park in another spot right across from our unit. The internet service was fast. No problems connecting and no drop offs. This place is located a little ways from the heart of town and it was pretty quiet, which is what we were looking for. The last time we were in Big Bear was 10 years ago and we stayed here then. Our experience was just the same. We'll be back again, hopefully before the next 10 years!",

"traverse:reviewText": "We called Grey Squirrel Resort after trying several other places in the area the same morning of our stay. They had one cabin left and we took it. We stayed in the Coyote cabin, which has it's own little driveway off of HWY 18. The Cabin was just fine for us...decorated a bit like Grandma's house from the 80's, but it was clean! Staying by the road was a bit noisy when in the living room, but once in the bedrooms and later at night when traffic was lighter we didn't notice the road noise. The master bedroom bed could use replacing - my kids liked it because it was so springy. There is NO shortage of TV's which helped our 7 year old stay put in her "own room" upstairs away from mom & dad. The stairs are a bit steep, so you may not want a toddler in this cabin. It was a 5-10 min. drive to everything, but we didn't mind because we came up to explore the area anyway. The grounds looked great - our kids loved the tether ball and playground. We didn't get a chance to swim, but the pool looked "standard." Overall, a nice place - not hip/modern/chic, but what is in Big Bear?!",

Fire Place kept living room toasty, heater units carried on thru the night. Not a luxury stay,( but hey c'mon its a cabin), but the bed was 4-star hotel and the linens were as good as they get. I would definitely recommend a humidifier. We live in So Cal and the mountain and home was 7% humidity. I could have used one when I got home. If you walk out the back of the property toward the lake you get to see some beautiful homes and views of the lakes. Great little place and well priced. Based on the front desk, check in, breakfast recommendations and overall feel we will use the Grey Squirrel at this and other locations they offer. The cabin ( a little worn out in some ways) is a country place don't expect perfection and this will be a very cozy get away!",

First time in Big Bear & one of my clients mentioned this place was family friendly & has a playground on the grounds. Great setup for my toddlers (other than the fact that I forgot the baby gate & had to constantly tell the kids the stairs are not meant to be used as a slide,lol) they loved having TVs upstairs. Staff was friendly, cabins were clean, newly remodeled bathroom with xtralong tub. Going to try & come up before the end of winter & already thinking about a summer trip!",

"traverse:reviewText": "This was our first trip to Big Bear Region. Not sure where to stay and found this property. Secured the Moose cabin. Staff is very matter-of-fact, not warm and fuzzy. If you want a place where mom and dad take care of you, this isn't it. We enjoyed our stay! The cabins are close together. Moose has a living room / dining area separated by a couple of steps. Kitchen is complete so you can cook if you want or BBQ as there is a grill outside. King bed was very comfortable, heat worked well as the night got into the teens! Fireplace was romantic. Lots of windows so in the summer this would be ideal as well. very relaxing and soothing. Grounds were covered with snow, very picturesque.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I stayed here to attend my best friend's wedding. She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place. The wedding and reception was in the outdoor common spaces - which was nice. My cabin (named Hidden Creek) on the other hand was a complete dumpster fire. I admit I am a very clean and organized guy, and I knew renting a cabin at Big Bear - the cabin might not be as clean as a nice hotel so I went in lowering my standards on clean, but this cabin was just disgusting. All three sofas in the cabin had dark stains on them, the sofa cushions and fabrics were sewn on so most likely these stains have been building for YEARS. There were stains on all of the walls in every single room. It smelled like cigarette smoke. And the tub in the bathroom (included pic) gives you an idea of how disgustingly dirty it was. I was there for only a short two days so I decided not to take a shower cause it was disgusting in there. Honestly, if it wasn't my best friend's wedding - I would've made a bigger stink of it and complained to the staff (like I should have). But I didn't want to hurt my best friend and give off the wrong vibes for the weekend. On top of everything, the "resort," charges a "cleaning fee," ($50) on top of the room rates. WTF do they clean??! LOL.",

Why pay a cleaning fee when it isn’t clean? Was there as part of a weekend retreat. When we booked the place the previous owners kept things up, but the new owners don’t seem to care about clean or even minimal cleaning!",

"traverse:reviewText": "Have visited many times in the past, but now the place is under new ownership and WOW has it changed (and not for the better). Furniture used to be "like a cabin"and very cozy and comfy and now it is modern and very uncomfortable! Kitchen is stocked, but limited amount of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, many of the cooking dishes were dirty and required washing (even though we always wash prior to use, these were extremely dirty to begin with). Had to request wine glasses. Also the refrigerator was what you would find in a small travel trailer. The resort did replace with a larger one when we complained about the size. The bedroom on prior visits was decorated like a mountain cabin, now it looks like a cheap version of a modern condo.The maintenance crew was great...a light fixture was not working and they replaced the switch promptly and efficiently. The grounds are well kept and very pretty. Management was very nice and tried to improve our stay. But again....no place to sit and be comfortable in the cabin! Also the TV in the bedroom was the size of a postage stamp. Two chairs in the bedroom were sized more for children than adults! There was very limited storage space in both bedroom and kitchen. The kitchen eating area had "pew" style seating on wood, with an additional bench-also extremely uncomfortable...no padded seat cushions. Not sure we will return, will probably look at some other resorts. If not for the maintenance crew and management we would have given it a 2 star review.",

We rented a cabin for me and my family of 4 and the cabin had more than enough room for all of us. The area around us had various activities including a volley ball net and even a ping pong table; least to say that the kids enjoyed them thoroughly! They workers there were very agreeable and there was absolutely no problems at all, if we had a problem like more towels it was done immediately! I would recommend this cabin with thumbs up!!!",

"traverse:reviewText": "There was a nice sized living space to accommodate our 4 adults and toddler. There's a small play set outside for our 2yo, plus set up for tetherball, basketball, volleyball, & BBQs. I was surprised that the staff came in and made the beds while we were out - nice touch that other cabin rentals we've stayed in didn't do. I saw staff cleaning the grounds & the pool (which had a solar cover on each night) every day - great job. There is free Wi-Fi, but it was often spotty. The spacious living room was the best part. Great price for Memorial Day weekend. Dusty couch - needs a good vacuuming; I could smell the dust and got allergies after sitting on it. We used one of the bed spreads to cover it. Ants. I saw bug spray under the sinks which was my first clue, then I spotted the pests in the kitchen and they swarmed the baby wipes left on the counter by the TV in our room. We didn't use the spray because I'm pregnant and our toddler, so we just made sure to put every food item in the fridge and wash the surface frequently.",

"traverse:reviewText": "My husband and I just completed a 3 night stay in the cabin called Moose at the Grey Squirrel Resort. This little one bedroom cabin exceeded our expectations by a long shot. It had a generous sized living room, dining area and bedroom with a full bath. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with all the dishes and utensils one would need. We had a little porch area with table, chairs and a lounge. Our cabin was well maintained,clean and inviting. The grounds were beautiful-lots of trees and plants and a little waterfall. We stayed right after Memorial Day-most of the guests were gone so we had the place virtually to ourselves. To top it off, we unexpectedly got in on a special-stay 2 nights and the third night is free. Who could ask for more? We can't wait to go back.",

"traverse:reviewText": "After some tough weeks, work-wise and while building a small home as well, it was suggested by a friend of mine to "escape" for a little weekend getaway and what better way to enjoy such a mini vacation, then to plan it on Mother's Day weekend... the crowds of ski season were gone and there were a few weeks to escape the Memorial Day Holiday traffic too. So, Mother's Day weekend it was! The Grey Squirrel resort is close to all... the Lake itself, the Village, shopping, all ski resorts and local Big Bear attractions. It offers motel style living, as well as cabins, of all different sizes. Although not by any means a 5-star resort, The Grey Squirrel's staff provides 5-star service and all with a smile attached to it. The grounds are clean, with a small pool, a nice size jacuzzi, volleyball and each facility is very well maintained. Our particular cabin, named the Mole, was a one bedroom, one bathroom (shower) unit with a cute, small living room and nice little kitchen and closet. Although small, it is a lovely cabin and is decorated in a European fashion, with "cozy" furniture and amenities. All in all, it was a great place to spend the weekend and we were especially grateful to find out how quiet the surroundings were. The biggest "perk" also, and the reason I was drawn to this resort, was that many of their units are "dog friendly." Being the proud owner of two well-trained German Shepherds, I was able to bring them with us and know they would enjoy their stay as well. All in all, our Mother's Day weekend stay was wonderful. Comfortable living at an affordable price, the Grey Squirrel Resort is definitely a place I will return to again. I highly recommend it.",

"traverse:reviewText": "This is a cozy and well-run little set of cabins on the north side of Big Bear Boulevard west of The Village in Big Bear Lake. My sweetie and I took advantage of their 3 nights for the price of 2 deal by staying Sunday through Wednesday. The check-in was quick and easy and the nice young woman at the desk was very efficient and friendly. The outside of the cabins are kind of a combination of an outdoorsy look with being a small modern home. We stayed in the Moose cabin which is the one that has a king size bed. Keeping in mind that any cabin resort in the mountains surrounded by trees is never going to be perfectly clean, I thought that the entire complex and our cabin in particular were very well kept. Our cabin was stocked with about everything one could need for such a visit except for obvious items such as food, wood for the fireplace, and charcoal for the barbecue. The Moose comes with the expected cabin-like decor which is something that a partial redneck like myself really liked. The two couches in the sunken living room and the small sofa in the bedroom were all very comfortable. The fireplace was clean and ready to use. The kitchen was spotless and had every utensil one could possibly need for cooking -- one tip, though...turn up the fridge upon arrival so your food and drinks will get properly cold, but don't forget to be considerate of the property's electric bill and turn it back down upon leaving. The small dining room had a nice glass table. We were cautioned upon making our reservation that the free wireless Internet might not reach all the way back to the Moose, but we had no problem picking it up for that rare time we wanted to shun nature and check back in with the real world. If you choose a cabin further to the north, you can easily use one of the many cool wooden benches in the open areas closer to the office to hop onto the wireless connection or just enjoy the view. There was a good TV in the living room and a little baby TV in the bedroom. The living room also had a DVD player but we did not use it. You get about 70 or so channels coming from the local cable company. This includes a couple of local access stations which can be very helpful for visitors. Back in the cabin, the bathroom was small but very clean and serviceable with a decent-sized bathtub/shower. Soap and shampoo are provided in dispensers placed on the walls. You will notice the signs posted in there about using the towels only for drying yourself off and generally conserving water. While it might seem odd to an outsider who is just a three minute walk from a large lake, water shortages are a fact of life in this area and all should try their best to keep use down -- remember, the more water you use, the more the Grey Squirrel would have to pay for its water bill and guess who ends up paying that? ;-) The bedroom was fairly large for a cabin and very cozy. The whole cabin was well insulated so the occasional passing traffic at night on Big Bear Boulevard or the other road to the north was barely perceptible. For the cabins on the property itself (as Grey Squirrel also rents out other cabins and homes through the area), maid service is provided if you wish to have fresh towels, linens, and the trash cans emptied. The porch area of the Moose cabin was very nice. I thought it was the best of the cabins on the property as it was not right upon any neighboring ones. Since we stayed on a Sunday through Wednesday, there were hardly any other people there. Do keep in mind that, in busier times, all of the playground areas will be filled with people. The staff was very friendly and seemed to be busy at all times maintaining the grounds. The manager was very willing to provide us with anything we needed. The whole area is filled with some large trees, flowers, a couple of bubbling fountains, and open areas where one can stretch out or younger people can run off some steam. The Grey Squirrel is not within what I would call walking distance from The Village where many of Big Bear Lake's restaurants are located, but the drive only takes a very few minutes. While it might be nice to be able to walk to more things, after this stay, I can't imagine staying at any other cabin resort in the Big Bear area. The combination of the price rage with the helpful staff and wonderful cabins makes this a place I would definitely want to return to for a similar type of visit.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We just stayed at the Lilly bear cabin 6 for a couple nights. Overall, we would not stay here again. The word "resort" is used but I would call it a row of old cabins. The kid area is a couple old outdoor toys and there's nothing else right there. If you don't plan on spending any time here except to sleep it might be right for you but with small children who need naps it was not a good fit or enjoyable experience for us. As clean as you can get an old rundown cabin Comfortable beds Good customer service Close proximity to snow summit and the village (short drive) Plenty of room Pet friendly In room spa service available Super rundown and needs a complete renovation by a professional (the new bathroom is a hodgepodge job) Multiple things broke during our short stay (the staff fixed it promptly but not something you want to deal with on a short get away) Loud heater and room doors must be kept open for heat to reach the rooms. Old moldy jacuzzi in the back yard",

The big negative for us was a lack of cleanliness. The home has a large amount of spiderwebs, which in itself carries a lot of spiders popping up here and there. Also, the kitchen walls had ants all day long no matter how many we killed. Other than the bug problems, location is great, good view of the lake, comfortable rooms, nice deck. Would love to come back, but ladies in our group didn't take the spiders and ants too well.",

Anytime we went to the front desk the woman there was always pleasant with a smile. You just got a feeling of warmth. My minor issue was when we turned on the heat, the loft felt like a sauna. So we kept the cabin cooler then we normally would have. The TVS in the bedrooms are a little dated ( they have VCRs built in - Nuff said). But the TV the living area was a modern flat screen. Overall many thumbs up. Great place, great staff. Nice!!!",

It is not new or fancy, but it is "clean, comfortable and friendly". Has a good size jacuzzi, and I appreciated that no children are allowed in it! This is a great value location, and would definitely recommend it...If I had one suggestion, it would be to update the bedding..get rid of the 'bedspreads', and go with the European sheet covers, it would be more inviting and clean looking.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I made our reservation online for the Badger cabin. We arrived late (10PM) due to poor driving conditions. We found the office closed and a key with directions taped to the door. We were directed to the Fox cabin which was frigid, under 60 degrees. We turned up the thermostat to no effect. There was a fire place, but no wood and too late to shop. We spent an hour in our coats, watching TV, until we decided it was too cold to stay up. Upstairs iin the bedrooms, what little heat there was had risen, so it was warmer, especially under the blankets. BUT, one of the bedrooms, with a plywood door, received no heat when the door was closed. Not only that, but it had 3 windows with poor window coverings. I had to open the door and stuff pillows in front of the windows before the room would heat up. Fortunately we did not plan to take showers because it would have been like showering outside in the snow. The next morning, I told the office the cabin was frigid. The response, "did you turn up the thermostat?" To my answer "yes", all she said was "I will tell maintenance" No, sorry, or concern, leading me to suspect a bait and switch. Fox cabin for Badger, knowing there was a faulty heating system. And yes, Badger was occupied when we arrived.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Stayed here during my second trip to Big Bear Lake. Somewhat similar to the some of the other places that rent cabins, although these cabins seemed to be overall in better shape. The furnishings also gave for a cozier, more home like feel than the other nearby place that we had stayed. And, refreshingly, we didn't get any ridiculous overcharges on our credit card after our stay. I would recommend this place, also, particularly, because it has an indoor hot tub, which is a nice touch during the winter!",

"traverse:reviewText": "I stayed in the Aspen Pines A for the weekend. It was a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin. The fireplace was absolutely beautiful. But, that was all. Everything else was average at best. It felt more like you were staying over a friends house. It was clean but not like a vacation resort. It did not thrill me at all. My two sons were not able to watch television in their bedroom because there was no remote. When we called the front desk to inquire they told us that they knew the remote was missing but the DVD would work without a remote - WOW! Since there were no televisions in any of the other bedrooms we were all forced to watch television together in the living room and you know how that goes for a family of five - can you ever agree? They claimed to have wireless internet which is one of the things I researched prior to booking this cabin because I knew that I had work to do on Monday morning. Needless to say, I was not able to connect. We called the front desk to inquire and they told us that it was only the cabins in the front of the resort. We asked if we could come to the lobby to work and we were told that the internet did not work in the lobby (go figure). I had to go to Starbucks and purchase a hot spot card and work there while my family continued their vacation without me. It was extremely inconvenient to say the least. There was no iron/ironing board to iron our clothers. The towels that they left out for us were raggedy and torn (but clean). We only had one roll of toilet tissue which ran out quickly for five people (which we reserved for). The hot water ran out after I took my bath and never came back that morning, My husband and children had to take cold showers. The hot water was back that night, but again only for one bath. However, the cabin was absolutely beautiful after it became covered in snow. But, I feel we paid entirely too much for these type of accomodations from The Grey Squirrel.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I brought the kids up here for a few nights just to get away and I am so glad we returned to the Grey Squirrel for some mountain time! We have been coming here for several years and the beautifully landscaped property and cute, rustic cabins has always kept me coming back. Now under new ownership, I have another reason to return and that is Shervin who recently bought this gem of a property. She is putting her heart and soul into making improvements in all areas of the property and simply wants her guests to have the best possible experience, which we did! I was excited to see multiple areas on the property with comfy furniture to relax, take a break and read, which I did several times (those red luxe hammocks!). She has maintained the recreation areas the kids have always enjoyed like the nice sand volleyball court, the 1/2 basketball court, a new ping pong table, improvements to the swimming pool (and there is a spa which we didn’t use), plus the big grassy area where families can carry out a variety of activities. She has also moved the kids playground to a safer and more sensible location. I appreciate how each cabin has a gas BBQ to use and a picnic table too. When I asked if we could have a larger picnic table in front of our cabin for al fresco dining, she made it happen right away and did it joyfully. We enjoyed that table every evening for our wonderful dinners in the fresh air. Our cabin had very comfortable beds and pillows which is an absolute must for a good stay. The cabin had some new furniture which I really appreciated and the TV was finally placed where it always should have been...yay! Although we barely watched it because there are way too many other nice things to do. Not only is Shervin determined that guests have a wonderful stay, but so is her crew of Nick, James and front office Nick. I had interactions with each of them, and every time they were responsive, kind and resolved any concern or issue I had. Her crew really are gems 💎 and she is lucky to have their dedication and attentiveness to help her bring her vision of the place to reality. Our family can’t wait to return to Grey Squirrel for years to come...we know we have many more memories to make at this beautiful mountain resort!",

We stayed in the "motel" type room and it's cute, cozy but in need of an update. The 3 nights for the price of 2 is very reasonable, the staff is friendly and we were basically the only customers for most of the time. Lots to do here for small kids and families, but must drive to Big Bear Village, no problem. The stand alone cabins look adorable and we plan on coming back with family to stay. I love the grounds they are green, lush and beautiful when the flowers bloom.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I am not sure why this facility is getting good reviews. Especially the person who recently stayed in the Chipmunk Cabin. It makes me wonder if some of these reviews are written by the staff. I really did not want to write a bad review for the Grey Squirrel. But, I felt it important to warn others. My father and I used to come and stay here when I would take him fishing for Father’s Day. Granted, it has been many years since the last time we had come, so I knew things were probably not going to be the same. But, I was not expecting that the “resort” had gone so far downhill. We liked coming here because they had cabins with two bedrooms for adults. Many cabin rentals have two bedrooms but one is for the adults and the other is for children with bunk beds etc… It is nice when you have two adults that don’t want to stay in the same room/bed to have a cabin that can accommodate that without one of the adults sleeping in a child’s room. We chose the Chipmunk Cabin. When we arrived the grounds looked pretty much the same as we remembered. They have nice outdoor areas and a swimming pool. But, that is the only thing that remained the same. When we arrived at our cabin, we were slightly concerned because the small porch area was leaning heavily to the right and did not look stable. We carefully walked up the stairs and went into the cabin itself. Now, I am all for eclectic and quirky, but this went beyond that. The whole place was, well to put it bluntly, dumpy. The furniture was extremely old and run down. The couch was unbelievable uncomfortable because the cushions lost most of its padding because it was so old. Plus it was ripped in several places. The furniture was battered and worn and much of it looked like it had not gotten a good dusting in months. The cabin also smelled musty and as if it had not been aired out in a long while. Unfortunately, when we opened the windows to air things out, they were cheap and wobbly, plus most of the screens were either ripped with holes or were not even properly in their slots so they had big gaps that let in bugs and flies. The bedrooms were also pretty bad. The beds were hard as rocks and horribly uncomfortable. Also, forget trying to plug in your phone or other devices. The plug areas are old that when you put your plug in the wall it falls out immediately. It is too loose. I had to prop it up with paper to hold it in place. This was the case in both the bedrooms. Also, my room had an area that I had to carefully walk around because if you stepped in the middle of this spot the floor would sink down. I was worried that I was going to eventually fall through. If you want to use the internet in this cabin forget it. The internet did not work at all. They told us some “story” about them having a power outage on the first day we were there and they were going to fix it the next day, but of course the entire 3 days we were there, we could not get internet reception. Funny enough, if you went closer to their office you could get excellent internet. It had nothing to do with them having a power outage, it was just that the farther you were from their office the less chance you had of getting reception. And, unfortunately, we were in one of the cabins furthest away from the office which meant although they advertise free wifi, we could never use it. Lastly, the worst thing about this cabin is its stability. I swear if you look at this cabin the foundation is crumbling and the cabin is leaning. It is terrible. When you walk from room to room you can tell that the whole place is leaning and sloping in several places. Honestly, an inspector should come to check this place out to see if it should have the foundation fixed or just completely torn down. My father and I were stupid for staying the few days we did, but unfortunately I had paid and did not have the money to go elsewhere. This should always be an indicator for me as well. Whenever you have to pay for everything in advance of you getting to the room, it usually means you should run from that place. My suggestion to you is to stay far away from this place. Or at least the Chipmunk Cabin. They don’t properly care for their facilities and for the money they charge it is absolutely not worth it. Again, I am sad that I had to write such a poor review. Years ago this used to be a quirky but nice place to stay. Now it is just dumpy and not well maintained and frankly not safe.",

First of all, we thought we were staying where the rest of the cabins were. Instead they sent us to someones rental, which I must say was a nice location on the water. This house looked nice from the outside but then you walk through the doors. It was like your very old grandmothers home with a 1978 coffee maker, thin towels that have clearly been used many times, beds were the most uncomfortable bed ever with plastic mattress cover that wouldn't stay on, not just our bed but all of them. The pictures on the internet are not of the same home. The furniture alone was old and dirty and looked like a cat lived there. There was no coffee, no sugar, no nothing. We could have gotten better prices, better beds, coffee and tea and internet at Travel Lodge. I ironed my pants on the kitchen table with a towel over the table. Apparently it left a white mark on the table. I never looked under the towel cause I do that all the time and never have I ruined the table. I guess it is a cheap table too. The lady had the audacity to call and leave a message about how terrible we were cause my ironing left a white spot on the table. I am thinking you have got to be kidding me.",

"traverse:reviewText": "My husband kids and I stayed in the badger and loved it! It is a nice clean cabin with hardwood floors and a beautiful kitchen. Also it has a little gated area so we were able to leave the cabin door open and not worry about my black lab running out. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils. It even has a little BBQ on the porch so my husband was able to cook some steak. Tether ball, volleyball, and basketball are all on the grounds to keep the little ones busy. Also a heated pool for the kiddos and a Jacuzzi room for the adults. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Close to everything big bear has to offer. We will definitely be staying here again :-)",

"traverse:reviewText": "I'm really sorry, but I usually don't write reviews, but I think I should let everyone know. We thought we were going to a great place on referrals, but this place turned out to be very bad. The outside grounds are not maintained, the walkways are dangerous because they have divots, uplift, cracks, and people can trip. In the cabins they are dirty, and ours had roaches in the kitchen. The pots and pans were in terrible shape and not even fit to cook in. The bathrooms had cobwebs all in the upper part and the toilet was not cleaned. Underneath the furniture and couch there was nothing cleaned and the floors were not swept. The entire property needs to make over. It's really sad to see a place like this that has so much potential go to hell. I would not ever take my family there again.",

Not only are there no silverware or dinnerware or cookware in this so called resort but the outdoor seating the bbqs have spider webs & covered with bird poop for years & never cleaned ! The room was dosgusting not cleaned the sheets were dirty the shower was painted over & chipping! Not a resort by far. The coffee maker was rusted 1 fork 1 knife. We left the next day and asked for a refund for the remaining days but we were told the chided owner corporation said no refund and go ahead and write your review and dispute the charge with your credit card company! My advice DO NOT stay here! It’s beyond awful!",

We used ours to grill a steak and spent a nice evening eating dinner under the stringed lights in the picnic area. Our rustic cabin was the perfect size for a two-night stay and the midweek two nights for the price of one deal made this place a terrific value. Nick and Heather at the front desk were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We spent 4 nights in the Cougar cabin (2 adults and 3 kids). The kitchen had a good amount of supplies and utensils. The bathroom was updated and all the rooms had a TV. The fireplace was by far my favorite and was the centerpiece of the living room. I would have liked a newer sofa. I think tit was about 20 years old. But it's a cabin! Also we wanted to play family games like chess and checkers and there were none. That would have been nice. The grounds are beautiful and the pool is well kept. We would go back!",

I guess they have changed owners because the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel came out of a 99 cent store! Ladies, BEWARE, bring your own shampoo! The grounds are beautiful. I will definitely go back next year!",

"traverse:reviewText": "We stayed in the Plum Ticket rental home at the Grey Squirrel resort in Big Bear. The house had four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There was plenty of room for everyone. This is a good option if you have a large group - big living room, large kitchen table, and a lot of room on the deck. This is definitely an older house, but it was clean. Really, the only complaint I might have is that it could use some more lighting in the kitchen. The Grey Squirrel property is well maintained. There is a nice pool, a basketball hoop, sand volleyball court, ping pong table, etc. And the Big Bear area itself is a beautiful area to visit with great hiking and a really nice lake.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Mole cabin of Grey Squirrel. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The grounds were well kept and watered daily. The daisies, mature trees, green lawns and black-eyed susans give the resort a cottage-like atmosphere that made our morning and evening walks with our three Border Collies a very pleasant experience. We greatly appreciated being able to stay someplace this enjoyable with our three dogs. We highly recommend this resort and will definitely book it again.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We decided to stay here because the reviews appear to be okay. We got there about two hours before check in and they allowed us to check in early, we really appreciated that. The room was small, but that's okay I wasn't expecting a huge room. The bathroom was a good size and definitely clean. Just a couple of complaints: my room didn't have air conditioning. When you go out for a 5 mile jog, it would be nice to come back to a cool room especially when it's almost 90 degrees outside- the room (Elk) didn't even have a ceiling fan or stationary fan, which is disappointing. Also, they had a huge fluorescent light on the porch of this cabin (they had full control of the light) that stayed on all night- and attracted tons of insects. The bed was very uncomfortable (it was a pull out of a wall type bed). Overall, if you're just looking for somewhere to leave your belongings at while you enjoy Big Bear this place would be fine- but if you want somewhere that's comfy and cozy, I say pay a few extra dollars and go to a different place.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We stayed at their Possum Cabin for 5 nights. It's a cabin for 2 people. It was small but very functional and perfect for just 2 people. They supplied everything you could need. The only things we needed was our own food and charcoal for the BBQ which they also provided. We were pleasantly surprised at the thoughtfulness of the supplies the provided. They left no stone unturned as to what we might have needed and in fact never needed anything else. We had a sun deck on the side of our cabin and they provided a round table with an umbrella, a couple of chairs and a chais lounge. The BBQ was right next to the patio. The cabin was very clean and inviting. While our cabin was close to the main street, the traffic did not bother us at all. We barely heard the traffic especially after just a very short period of time the day we arrived. Not that the traffic stopped but we became used to it very quickly and it wasn't bad at all to begin with. They also had a pool and a hot tub that was marvelous. The staff was very obliging and welcoming. I personally am quite picky about my accomodations yet I couldn't find anything I needed. We would wholeheartedly recommend staying at this Resort's cabins. It was very peaceful and very nice.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Terrible! Do not stay here. Came home today from a weekend stay here. Only pros are that the beds were comfortable, for me, as I like a soft mattress. My husband likes it more firm and didn’t think they were comfortable. Also, there was an electric fireplace that warmed up the living room nicely. Those were the only pros. Here’s a long list of the cons, get ready: Dirty, sticky, nasty. Very little supplies in the kitchen. For example, I wanted to reheat fries in the oven, as a microwave would make them soggy. What do I put them on? Nothing. No cookie sheets or oven-safe ware. Had to throw the fries away. Provided a coffee pot and coffee grounds, but no sugar or creamer. What’s the point? Towels feel like they don’t dry. I think because the bathroom is freezing. That takes me to my next point. Bathroom ceiling heater lamp broken. Informed them via text. They said they would take a look. Was not fixed or given any remedy like a standing heater. Only one shower for a cabin that accommodates 6. Hot water doesn’t work right away. You literally have to “activate” the hot water to get the hot water heater to work and then take a shower 2 hours later. Figured this out after my two kids each took a cold shower. I texted the property in the evening as that is the only way to reach them Afterhours or for an emergency. They didn’t respond until the next morning. Their response….”the hot water isn’t endless. If you use it for anything else, it will run out quickly”. So, 4 people can’t get hot water for a cabin that accommodates 6? And we didn’t use it for anything else. Their office hours are only 9-5pm. Up to 7pm on Friday and Saturday. So, if anything comes up after that hour you are out of luck. As I mentioned before, they have an Afterhours texting line that they didn’t respond to until the next morning. What if it was a bigger emergency? Only Netflix available on the TV. You can’t watch any other TV. One of the bedrooms is freezing, if you close the door. The only way it heats up is to leave the door open to the living room area. But then you are hearing an annoying clicking noise every time the heater comes on. So, it was a choice of freezing or not sleeping. No extra blankets to be found anywhere. All you get is a sheet and a thin comforter. Very few outlets. And none next to your bed. Unless you count the one that is butted up the mattress, which you would have to move the mattress from the wall to access it and no table. So, the electronics would have to sit on the floor. We were just feet from Hwy 18. Very loud with all the cars zooming by. Last but not least, the very dangerous floor heater vent. There is a huge heater vent in the living room. They warn you to not step on it or your shoes will melt. Wtf?! I’m glad we have teenagers. If I had little ones, they would have surely gotten burned. All this to say, I could rationalize it if I was paying Motel 6 prices. The total for two nights was $484. That includes a $50 admin fee. Not sure why that isn’t already included in their price and a $70 cleaning fee. What cleaning?! It sure wasn’t clean. They ask that you wash your own dishes and take out the trash. What’s the cleaning fee for then? Never again!",

"traverse:reviewText": "Simply put: the owner does not care. He’s never there. The front desk chick is nice but can’t do much without the owner’s approval and he’s impossible to get ahold of. At first I was told I could get a refund due to a last minute surgery a week before my booking. Then awhile later I was told I couldn’t get a refund and was told I could apply the credit (like $900+ or something) toward another booking. I’ve tried numerous times to rebook but either phone calls or emails go unanswered. This is a really crappy way to run a business and the other reviews show the lack of care or concern from the owner. I have bad asthma/allergies and given the filth maybe it’s for the best I can’t stay there. I’ll go another route to get my money back that I was initially promised in writing.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I thought I had stayed here a long time ago....we had not. Nevertheless looking for a cabin, not air bnb, and found this. I wouldn't come back unless I toured the particular cabin in person in the future. I hardly ever give bad reviews but want to save people some hassle. Pros: well heated in winter; good amount of space; kitchen worked; newer appliances; adequate supply of cookware, dishes, etc; decent mattresses and clean sheets and towels. Somewhat cute grounds and we were back from the street. Cons: Serious musty/mildew odor. Like there was water damage but we didn't see it. An outer door (seemed to be storage) was completely thrashed with water damage so maybe it was coming from there. Were we not so beat from our trip would have moved. It made all our clothes smell. And the cleaning was substandard. Grunge on floor around stove, in bathroom around the sink, lint/stuff on soap dishes, stove and oven dirty. Tables sticky. And on top of that you pay a $75 cleaning fee in advance. Granted as I walked in, we were told the housekeeper just quit and the owner was doing the cleaning. Also no deadbolt on front door. Bed room wall heaters seemed tied to the front room wall heater thermostat. That front room was a little drafty (no seal around front door...you could see daylight) therefore if you closed the bedroom doors the bedrooms got up to like 80F. Couches in front room beat....no way could you sleep on them as you hurt yourself sitting on them (the frame stuck up between the sunken down parts.) Lastly the plowing was marginal. Very narrow access or not plowed. If you had a big vehicle, hard to fit through, especially if others didn't park straight due to the snow. I've been all over. Stayed in plenty of Motel 6s, plenty of 60s-70s era cabins (like this) as well as nicer places. Just the smell and the dirt was a turnoff and laughable with the $40 "resort fee" that paid for your "free" wifi (which did not work on the SMART TV.)...we had to use our phone hot spot. With the $75 "cleaning fee" it approached $600 for two night stay. Also for a ski town, near LA where most people can't drive in the snow anyway, for goodness sakes get a snowblower or something and clean the roads. California banned road salt (you can use pumice) but no need to leave slip and parking chaos for guests more than two weeks after the last snow. Office was spotty on hours and answering the phone. I really don't trust AirBNB for many reasons and am used to rental places. If any of the other cabins have these issues honestly I'd would be better to do a full redo of a few than rent these out in this condition. I understand Covid and business (and getting help) is crazy but this was pretty darn bad, especially considering the pretty decent reviews here on TripAdvisor. I hope things improve for this place.",

We stayed in the Fawn Cottage which appears to have a few updates so it wasn't completely groovy. Lighting situation wasn't great and its a bit rustic. The bed was pretty uncomfortable. But, on the plus side there is a little fireplace, fridge and microwave and the heater was super warm. It's on the edge of town but only a mile and half or so into the village.",

We've stayed here for many years & at first were skeptical, but they've won us over. Our usual cabin (Chipmunk) was as welcoming & cozy as always with several updates (new furniture, faucets, flooring, stove etc.) & very clean. New bedding with plentiful puffy pillows....very comfy. The hot water may take a while to arrive, but there's always plenty of it. The staff is super friendly, very helpful, & always available. And the Jacuzzi was SO appreciated after a day of skiing! We still love our "home away from home" in Big Bear",

Also a plus that they don't charge a cleaning fee. Cabin had Wi-Fi and was perfect for our family of 4. Beds were ok. Bring your own pillow if you are picky. Heater worked great.",

The beds were well worn and the couch wasn't the best, but for a rustic cabin in big bear, it was fantastic. The kitchen is fully stocked (ok, there were only 2 steak knives) but had other essentials. Staff was friendly and it being the middle of winter, we didn't get to enjoy the pool or anything but the central area is pretty nice. Was disappointed the fire pit wasn't working though.",

"traverse:reviewText": "This place is okay, very rustic, as you would expect from a cabin rental in Big Bear. It's a five minute drive from the Village. Unfortunately we had two major issues with this place. Firstly, when we lit the open fire in our cabin (it was called Beaver), it completely smoked out our entire cabin. When we arrived we noticed the bricks around the fireplace were blackened by soot - that should have been a warning!! The issue was structural - either the chimney flute was closed, or the chimney has not been swept in a long time. We had to leave all our cabin windows and front door open for almost three hours to air it out. It was only 30 degrees outside and we were freezing. We eventually put the fire out with water and the smoke still filtered into the room for 45 minutes, indicating that the chimney was blocked and it was returning back down. If someone lit a fire and fell asleep, it would be a major health issue with smoke inhalation. Everyone's eyes were stinging and watering and we all got sore throats. Our daughter had an asthma attack as a result of the cold air and the smoke. Not the cozy cabin experience we were hoping for. Secondly, the mattresses on the bed bunks were so uncomfortable that my son slept two nights on the couch and my daughter slept in our small double bed with us. I tried sleeping on the bunk mattress but it was absolutely the worst mattress I have ever slept on. I've backpacked around Europe and nothing was ever this bad. If you can find cabins with better reviews, I would go there. Would not stay here again based on our experience.",

"traverse:reviewText": "A group of 23 friends and I just rented 3 vacation cabins from Grey Squirrel - Log Haven, Brewers, & Molly's Peak. All were great vacation homes, and each house had individual rooms that were perfect for our singles and couples and our many dogs. The reservation process was easy, and once there, Pat, the staff person, was extremely pleasant, helpful, and patient. I was wary that things wouldn't go so smooth or that the staff would be awful or they'd ding you for something from your deposit, but I really can't think of anything that went wrong. Actually, when we got to Log Haven, the front porch light was burned out, and it made it unsafe to get up the snow covered steps. However, we went into the kitchen, found some spare lightbulbs, and problem fixed. One thing I would suggest to Grey Squirrel - provide shovels so we can shovel the snow and ice off steps, especially Log Haven. More than a few of us slipped (& luckily recovered quickly).",

I did not mind having to drive to Snow Summit. As the matter of fact, I liked it better then having to deal with traffic aorund the village. The check-in staff was friendly and I felt welcomed right away. What I like the most is that the cabin was only a block away from the Lake. There were a playground, BBQ area, a fire pit, pool, hot tub and a maid service ( if you need one). The cabin had everything you need for cooking and cleaning. However, there was no paper towel in the kitchken, but I brought my own so that was not a big deal. There was a fireplace in the living area and my son loved it. This place is awesome for families. The price was good and the service was excellent. I would return to stay here in the future.",

The porch was dirty, the entire cabin's floor was filthy and the shower floor was disgusting. My kids went to bed on their own, but when we went to bed we noticed the bed spread, sheets and pillow cases were dirty with paw prints on it, stained with animal and human hair and dry dirt on it. We had to use the towels to catch up some sleep after we called and texted and never heard back from the staff. Underneath the sofa cushions were all kinds of debris. Baseboards were super dirty. Next morning I had to call several times to get clean linens that were stained as well and I had to change the bedding myself. The maid was a 17 year old girl that used the same broom from the floor to sweep the trash from the sofa and she threw everything just outside the porch. Save your money and never book this place, because they didn't offer to refund the cleaning fee or even a discount",

"traverse:reviewText": "This cannot be called a resort. It is more like a motel with old, rundown cottages. I will say the cottages are a decent size. Kitchen, family room with good size, TV, bathroom, and two bedrooms. But they say they have Wi-Fi but it hardly works. When I mentioned it to them, they said yeah it doesn’t work well when they have lots of guests. Apparently they don’t think about getting a better Internet plan to fix that issue. Definitely do not plan on watching streaming television with their crappy Wi-Fi. The other problem is that there is a lot of snow and they don’t clear enough so it’s easy to get your car scratched up on the snow banks. It’s hard to drive around the property. Finally, they charge a $75 cleaning fee. I’ve not had hotels charged cleaning fees on top of their $40 resort fee for which you get nothing. Maybe if it were an Airbnb that would make sense. But when we got into our cottage, it wasn’t even that clean. There was an empty bottle and trash on the floor in one of the bedrooms. I would definitely not stay at this place again.",

"traverse:reviewText": "I was taught not to say anything if you have nothing nice to say, so let’s start with the positive. The water was wet and the toilets flushed. The Buck cabin (king sized bed) was reserved and upon check-in we were assigned to the Fawn cabin (queen sized bed), the desk attendant said there was a double booking issue. I think what happened was the people who were supposed to stay in Fawn were put into Buck so they could have an extra day to dry out the Fawn cabin, thus our cabin was occupied upon arrival. Additional services were also reserved and not provided, the desk attendant’s un-empathetic comment was that she’s been disappointed also. The Fawn cabin’s issues. These were addressed and resolved by Management. • Duraflame logs were not provided as reserved, but 2 bundles of wood were left. o One of the bundles was wet and after over an hour would not light. • The armoir’s three drawers which contained the cabin’s dishes, towels and pillows were filled with water. o The team, led by Amanda, promptly cleaned out the drawers and replaced the dishes. • The light above the bed didn’t work. o It was discovered to have been unplugged and was plugged in. • There were only 2 thin blankets on the bed that were full-sized, not queen sized. o Another sheet like item was provided, but not a blanket. The Fawn cabin’s other issues that were not addressed because at some point you get tired of working through issues and would just like to salvage some of the time you have on your trip. • The heater squealed at night when the fan ran and then clicked loudly as it cooled off, repeatedly jolting us awake. o It took me until 4am to solidly fall asleep the first night, probably by pure exhaustion. o The second night, we heated the room up blazing hot so the heater wouldn’t kick on for awhile and allow a little rest. • The bathroom door would not close unless you lifted it up by the handle and tugged hard. • The ceiling had been repaired and painted, but looked like it was ready to fall onto us at any moment. • There was a used soap bar on the ledge in the shower. • The coffee pot was dirty o Discovered the last night of our stay and cleaned by us-You’re welcome… • Breakfast opened at 8am. On Monday we showed up shortly after 8am and were told it didn’t open until 9am. We showed up again shortly after 9am, and were told 9:30am. o The problem was that 9 or 9:30am were not disclosed, the sign on the door said 8am and when we said it would be nice to have it disclosed correctly, the staff said sarcastically that yes, that would be nice. o Monday, there was bread for toast, but no butter, only jelly. • The maintenance person said (Monday morning) that we should never have been permitted to stay in that room. • We also had to wait until 9:45’ish for the GM/ front desk personnel showed up to check us out to ensure the extra services we received were being refunded back to us. Overall, there was great hospitality by a couple people, Amanda in housekeeping and the Asst. Manager, but the rest seemed to be inconvenienced by our mere presence. We spoke to the GM upon check-out and understand the property is in escrow, to be finalized this week, hopefully with an ownership change, there will also be better attention to maintenance and hospitality training for general courtesy",

Internet work great we were able to stream Netflix all weekend without buffering and I really enjoyed the jacuzzi after skiing. I also enjoyed the free breakfast they had lots of options for a continental breakfast and good coffee but definitely be back thank you",

Went came up here on Super Bowl Sunday and the T.V. Kept loosing signal. We called about it in the morning when we noticed it, they sent someone in the morning to fix the problem. When game started it we only were able to watch the first half because during the halftime show it went down again. Annoying. Also website stated free WiFi, wifi sucked as well",

It was a 2 level unit with one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. There were a total of 4 beds. The rooms and bathrooms were sufficiently clean. The beds are hard. The kitchen needs to be updated from the 1970s appliances. I think the kitchen drawers could use a better cleaning. The heat worked great. There is a washer & dryer in the unit as well. Overall a satisfactory stay.",

However, I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in the "Raccoon cabin" with our dog. A nice 1 bedroom down stairs, and a loft with 2 queen beds upstairs. The cabin was clean and well kept. Our cable and Wi-Fi (strong enough for phone usage, I wouldn't try to bring my office work with me) worked the entire trip. It was a nice location from Big bear village, the lake, and snow activities. My only 2 complaints would be THE PATHWAYS AND DRIVEWAYS definitely could be better. I do agree that more snow needs to be cleared. In addition, our BBQ grill was broken and wobbly but we still managed to use it. Other than that, we had a lovely time. We will be back!",

"traverse:reviewText": "We reserved a cabin for 12 people since december 16 for february 17, we both chatted and called the resort to confirm our stay, when we got there we were told that the squirrel nest (their deluxe cabin) was double booked, they told us it was a VRBO problem , then we asked that if was a VRBO problem then why did they(grey squirrel) confirmed that we had the cabin 1 day prior our visit, we spoke to 3 people there,they confirm the conversation. after a looooong (3 hours) talk they took responsibility and booked us a beautiful cabin outside their park from another company/owner for 1 night, they told us that we were to comeback the day after so we could stay at our cabin or a cabin with the same characteristics.....well that was a mistake, when we came back to the grey squirrel we got the MINK cabin, saying that this cabin was sub-par is an understatement, the heat was inconsistent, NO WIFI, beds were uncomfortable and the cabin had this unpleasant smell that we couldn't identify(probably mold or a dead animal), when we called the main desk they told us they had a power outage and that was why the WIFI was not working properly (I have seen this answer in other reviews making me think that is their standard answer) the drive ways were not properly shove reducing parking space. in general I understand that it wasnt the personel's fault we got double-booked but that was in no way a justification to get ATTITUDE when we asked to hat was going to happen to our reservation (since they already charged us)",

The heater was not working in one room the first night . The bedding smelled really bad like mold . There was ants . This place is awful and I do not recommend this place to anyone . I'm sorry if you are staying there and reading this . Make sure you wash your clothes and anything you take there right when you get home . Looking online after we checked in and finding horror stories about past guests getting pink eye from the bedding . I'm extremely horrified and disgusted.",

They gave us $9.99 credit total for 4 lift tickets (normally $72.00 per ticket). They changed us to a full price room (without our knowledge). When we called to try to straighten this out, they were completely unresponsive. We had no hot water for showers and the place was noisy. Very dissatisfied!",

"traverse:reviewText": "We were like a lot of other travelers who booked the Grey Squirrel because it had the best value for our family of four. We stayed in the "Beaver" which was perfect for a family with smaller kids. The master bedroom was cozy, and the bed was SO comfortable. The kids' room was tiny, but perfect for two little kids- and they liked each having their own bed and not having to sleep together in a queen like they normally do when we travel. The grounds were clean and well-maintained, and the cabin had everything we needed. If you are looking for a clean, cozy place to stay, this is a good value. There were only two things that were less than fantastic about the grey squirrel. First of all, the jacuzzi is old and funky. The room has a strange smell, and it takes forever for the water to heat up. If you want a relaxing soak in the hot tub, this is not the hotel for you. Also when we woke up in the morning Big Bear had received over 2 feet of fresh snow. We had a 8:30 ski lesson that we missed because no one at the Grey Squirrel will answer the phone or appear in the office until after 8 AM, and we could not get a shovel to dig our car out. I wound up digging out with a spatula and a baking pan from the room. Other than this quirk- we had a great visit and would stay here again- (though we'll bring a shovel with us!).",

"traverse:reviewText": "We stayed at the Grey Squirrel for three nights in February. Our cabin was comfortable with two bedrooms and a small bath. Bring your own colander if planning to make pasta and knives if dull ones bother you. The cabin got COLD at night as the living room heater switched off each night. Bring extra blankets and plan on warming the place up for a while in the morning. We didn't feel like the place was especially dirty, but we did have ants in the kitchen and bathroom so pack foods up in ziplock baggies. Two out of three beds were sleepable, one was weirdly jiggley so didn't put the kids on it. It WAS super nice to have a couch and a DVD player. We definitely appreciated that. Will we be back? Well, not if we can find something a little bit on the nicer scale.",

We wanted to stay at a small, quiet place and our cabin, the elk, was just what we were hoping to find when we arrived. The place had everything we needed including a fully stocked kitchen, DVD player, and wireless internet connection. We got there late on a Wednesday night because it snowed on our way up. Instead of having to call the after office hours number to have someone come down and check us in, our key was waiting for us in an envelope at the office door, which was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful with our questions about places to eat and directions into town. I will definitely return here again.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We live in the San Gabriel Valley so when we saw the mountains full of snow we knew we had to head up to Big Bear for a couple days of fun. We've stayed in many places in Big Bear, but wanted to try some place different so we sought a small cabin on the Grey Squirrel property. After viewing the available cabins we decided on the FOX cabin that sleeps 4. Both bedrooms are upstairs with a king size bed in each that were fairly comfortable. Hint: Bring extra blankets in the winter. The livingroom was tiny, but sufficient for 4. The love seat style couches weren't comfortable enough for 4 though. One longer couch and two comfortable chairs would work better. Comment to the owners; coat hooks near the front door would be a nice touch so they have half a chance of drying out. The kitchen was well stocked and clean, with a large refrigerator. The bathroom was actually rather large with good water pressure, but lacked a heater which causes you to get business done real fast. The fireplace was stocked with logs for a nice warm touch. We also brought our own to continue the fun since we don't get the chance to use a fireplace in the SGV. The cabin seemed pretty clean which is a big plus. On the down side, we had to shovel snow for about 15 minutes just to get our average sized car into the spot next to the cabin. It would have been nice to get a bit of a monetary credit for our work or have maintenance do it for us, the paying customer. We aren't allergic to work, but like to take a break on what little vacation we get. The property looks like it has a lot to offer when it isn't covered in snow, so we may return in the Summer.",

Smoke alarm was non operable and had no battery installed. Oven did not work, we had to use the toaster oven they provided for everything which was difficult with (8) occupants. Throw rug in living room had pet hair and human hair all over it,. Trash from the previous occupants was still in a bag on the back porch. The bed skirt upstairs was soiled with something red. yuck! The kitchen had no knives for cutting. The coffee pot took over 30 minutes to brew a pot and leaked all over the counter. We were provided with 6 pillows for 8 people. The 1/2 bath sink sprayed everywhere. We had to ignite the burners on the stove with a lighter because you had to unplug the microwave to plug in the stove for the electric flame igniter to work. These plugs plugged into a power cord that dangled down. Wifi did not work the entire time we were there. There are no laundry facilities. Someone came to fix the futon but didn't have the tools to do so and said they would be back but they never returned to fix the problem. When you turned on the garbage disposal the food and dirty water shot up the other side of the sink. The porch lite did not work. I do not recommend staying at this Cabin.",

Ripped screens cheap windows some without locks. 2 of the old wood windows dont close. The heater is right on the stairs an issue for those with youngsters . Floor was squishy and worn. Only an old stand up shower that leaKS although they have conserve water signs everywhere. The kitchen smelt moldy . The stairs squeek. The carpet is old and worn. There was hair and a hair bead left on the floor in the bedroom downstairs. Couch is worn and sagging . TV is located in the corner of the living room . Bad layout. Bedroom tvs are tiny smaller than a 19" the welcome and about BB magazine were sticky. No firewood . Must pay for propane if you want to use a BBQ. Many outlets did not work. Dont let the online photos fool you. There is no breakfast as advertised. Worst part we touched nothing and left they said they had to have housekeeping go out again which was a lie we left within an hour of being there and drove home because everything in BB was booked . I spent almost $1400 for 3 nights and they will not refund any of it even though they re. Rented the room. They offered us a credit to return they said they have 2 other places I'm left with no choice but to go back and hope one of the other places is better.",

A large living room and family room combined with a vaulted ceiling made an excellent place for 40 of us to play and eat. Several bedrooms provided plenty of sleeping space, up to 14 she said. The fireplace and pool table were put to good use. The sofas were comfy and extra chairs are provided, just waiting in a back room. The wet bar has a nice fridge so drinks can be kept separate from the kitchen fridge. The house is back off the street about 150 feet and the front yard made a nice place to have snow ball fights. There is also a 2 car garage to park plus plenty of room in front. A well appointed home with everything you'll need. We had a sink line break. We told the lady at the front desk and 2 maintenance men were there within 5-10 mins. Got it fixed right away. The nice lady also brought my sis a huge stack of towels when requested.",

"traverse:reviewText": "My husband and I decided to rent a private home for New Years 2016 and we are so happy we found Lily bear lodging/Grey Squirrel resort. I Holidays are super quick to book up in Big Bear and when my last resort was to try and secure a few small cabins from Grey Squirrel, Laura had great customer service and suggested a home she had availiable. I checked out the home and even though the photos and description where not impressive, I booked anyway. I booked Pappy's Place, which is a 5 bedroom 2.5 bath. It was large enough to hold the amount of people we had invited and I prayed it was larger then the photos and descriptions given. Anyway, I had many questions up until our stay and the Grey Squirrel staff where very responsive and informative. I requested specific items and info for resturants that catered and ski lessons for the group. All where awnsered prompltly. I was still wiery of the home since the photos didn't show how large the home was. We had 4 families, each bringing small children. I was hoping that the bedrooms where more than a bed and a lamp and the common areas big enough to get away from the crazy antics of the kids during our 4 days. To my relief, we arrived and the home which is located near Boulder Bay and a 5 minute drive from the village was more then large enough for everyone. Downstairs was a large master bedroom with full bathroom. ( unfortunately the bathroom was open to the bedroom, privacy was a small issue) but myself, husband and youngest daughter fit well with an air bed and enough room to walk around, watch tv, and a nice big closet. The bed was super comfy and warm w/clean linen. Old but clean. On thr same floor is the first living room. Equipped with small table/4 chairs perfect for a poker game, a futon, fireplace and the kids favorite...a pool table and entertainment center. The kids brought thier xbox and hooked it up there. Next room was the kitchen, which was large, included everything we needed to cook all of our meals. All 4 mom's cooked together and it was centralized enough so that everyone could enjoy each others company. I took along w/ me a huge soup pot and larger pans. There where some pans but not enough to feed the 14 people we had stay with the way we cook. There was a coffee maker, blender, dish washer, large fridge, and a pro stove and oven that served us perfectly. Next room opened up w a nice bar Station into the tv/dinning room which was the main meeting place for all us adults. There was a huge dinning table w rustic wood chairs that served as our game table for most of the weekends shinnanigans. Large gas fireplace, large old but comfy couch and a couple recliners. The decor was rustic and the place was overall out dated but added to the feel of the mountains. Especially the giant moose head on the wall...we named him "Bruce the Moose" and he made the stay most welcoming. Upstairs was 4 rooms. All where large, had closets and plenty of room for an air bed in each. 3 rooms w queens and 1 room w 4 twin beds, perfect for the 3 teens we had, to share. There was a small bathroom upstairs and a wall heater that according to the guests kept the rooms warm if the doors were kept open. Otherwise, it was cold. Downstairs was pretty cold but w/ the fires burning and the heater and warm clothing it was comfotable. Oh there was also another full bathroom down stairs near the kitchen, the only problem with the bathroom situation was the showers. W 14 people the 1 shower downstairs needed a little patience but worked out well for those wanting to wake up early. Our master shower was availiable on the days we decided to wake up early...which was only 1 day. Haha.( Hey' we're on vacay. ) We took our boom box and board games to play but there was a stereo and plenty of games to play if we didn't take them. The outside was amazing. There was a wrap around porch w bbq and chair swing we all enjoyed. The porch was full of snow and made the stay very festive. The driveway to the home was on a downward angle and was a perfect sledding area for our kids. We didn't have to go into town to find a spot For the kids to do that.it was great for them .There was only parking for 3 cars, maybe 4 small on the street since the driveway was covered in snow and ice we where advised not to park there and we gladly took that advise to avoid any need for towing fees or accidents. Overall the home was larger then expected, customer service was great and every essential was provided down to the TP, linen, and towels. It's not a 5 star luxury home but for the great price and amenities, I say we got a great deal and had one of the best New Years we've ever had! Thank you Grey Squirrel/Lilly bear lodging for the great memories. We will be back again, hopefully sooner then later.",

Returned from visit with daughter at 10 p.m. Problems: 1. Wall space heater only the Living room, bedroom and bathroom stone cold. Bathroom never heated up, even with bedroom door open. 2. Razor shaved in morning and took a short shower. ( 5 min.) Hot water gone, wife unable to take shower, just as well they didn't have a hair drawer in the bathroom as most places do now. 3. Poorly stocked kitchen had a coffee pot but no coffee, creamer or sugar. Nice cabin but I'll stay elsewhere next trip.",

Rooms were clean, it was very nice to have the full kitchen. We stayed in the Raccoon cabin. The kids loved playing in the snow on the property. We didn't feel crammed in and the (2) king beds in the loft were VERY comfy for the 4 of us. Only criticism is that the desk hours are limited, but we'd definitely come here again, maybe next time in the summer.",

"traverse:reviewText": "We were supposed to stay at the Grey Squirrel for 3 nights in August and ended up only staying 2 nights since the cabin was so terrible and the place was gross. We were given the "Enchanted Forest," 4 bedroom, 2 bath cabin which looked more Haunted than Enchanted. They were clearly in the middle of remodeling the cabin (and doing a terrible job of it) and all of the old stuff was outside our back windows, which made it look like a junkyard. Instead of rustic mountain ambiance we had a disgusting and massive pile of junk to look at from all the back windows. In addition there were multiple issues with the cabin, which I emailed to the owner/management after the first night and they refused to refund us for the third night or provide any form of compensation. Here were some issues with the "Enchanted Forest" cabin... \- mold/mildew in the upstairs bathtub \- bathtub was completely clogged and filled with water soon after turning on the shower and we were not even able to use it. \- bathtub was dirty and cabin was not cleaned well \- dishwasher drains hot water in the sink and sink started to overflow with very hot water \- there was a junk yard in the back of the cabin Unfortunately after telling the management about all of this, they only had the following to say... "Regarding the bathtub, the information I have been given is that is a stain, and not mildew. That stain (unfortunately) has been in that tub since I started here under the previous owners almost two years ago, which would typically indicate it is not a growing mildew or fungus. It just has not had a new coat of paint / enamel, which was finally in the works prior to our need to move your party to this cabin this weekend." "Regarding the "junkyard", the back area of the cabin is not indicated for guest use specifically, but I can understand that frustration and am passing that along to the Owner for consideration. Overall, I would not recommend this place at all, it is a complete dump and I am not sure how it is even rated 4 stars. Good luck to the new owner who doesn't seem to care at all about customer service or even her cabins for that matter.",

She recently took over and she is doing an unbelievable job making improvements quickly. My 2 daughters absolutely loved the smores and talking with people around the fire. I would highly recommend this resort due to the exceptional management and friendly environment. Our cabin was very cozy and comfortable and was easy walking distance to Boulder Bay, a small grocery store and a great place to have breakfast, great trip all the way around.",

However, room preparation is very lacking. Our room had all the windows open, allowing a coating of dirt/dust everywhere. The tv cable didn't work the entire stay. Ground keepers blew dirt with their blowers onto parked cars and passersby. An arriving next door guest complained their tv, room fan, and refrigerator did not work. We will not return.",

"traverse:reviewText": "Our family has stayed at the Grey Squirrel since the 1960s. We decided to get our families together and stay for a mini reunion. We rented the Coyote. What a disappointment. Couch smelled like throw up. Beds were terrible quality. No coffee maker in the cabin. No fire in the fire pit as advertised. Stairs aren't up to code. Had to light stove top burners with matches. I could go on but I won't. All in all, what a huge letdown. If the new owners care about their loyal customers, they will make this right. Our family names are Lane, Elmgren and Venegas. Check your records, we've been loyal customers for many years. My niece even has her wedding there at the resort! We are talking about looking at staying elsewhere in Big Bear the next time we visit. Sadly, we don't expect to get a response from the new owners as the Grey Squirrel is apparently owned by a corporation now. Price per night is not at all equal to the quality of the stay. Please note, the staff is friendly and even they are saying that they are receiving a lot of complaints. Sad. Truly sad. Air B&B here we come.",

Nice loft rooms (one with a very thin, wood door) and large bathroom. Kitchen was nice with a set of shelves that were great. However, there were no PAPER TOWELS!!! And no salt & pepper or coffee for the coffee pot. They need to get individual packets of coffee and salt/pepper. There's only one pan..so I had to cook the bacon and then use the same pan for the eggs. Boiled corn and there were no tongs to take them out to test. Big fridge, heater worked well. TV/DVD were great, lots of channels. My Sirius radio boom box got great reception too. The location was away from town so it wasn't crowded. If you want to be able to walk to stores or restaurants, this is not the place. But, it's only 2-4 miles from "town". The staff wasn't exactly friendly, they could be nicer and more helpful. Would be cool if there was a little store within walking distance for things like paper towels or coffee or ice. The water slides were fun. We rented from Holloways Marina, they were very nice with good prices. Don't go to Old Country Inn to eat, service was not good. The small issues didn't impact the enjoyment of our mini-vacation so I think a 4 out of 5 is accurate. Nice having a pool, ping pong, etc. Lastly, for the price, I would think they could wash the dishes instead of us...",

It's a great property with a renovated playground, basketball court, and pool and indoor spa. We stayed for a nice relaxing weekend. I can't wait to go back this winter! The kitchens do have dishes, coffeepot, etc...so it's nice you don't have to bring much besides your food. The wildflowers out in front of our cabin and all around the property were very lush and colorful too!",

The resort is not within walking distance of the village - but that is one of the things I liked about it - peace and quiet, especially on a holiday weekend! This cabin is listed for 2 people and there was pleanty of room. The resort itself is quiet, but try and reserve a cabin the the back of the property (away from Highway 18) if you don't like road noise. The hosts were helpful, polite and very informative when I asked for help and directions around Big Bear. The property is well manicured, with a heated pool, adults-only spa (nice!) volley-ball, shuffleboard, picnic areas etc. provided. If I had a complaint it would be only the hot water was too hot (be careful with kids), but shoot - that is really no complaint! A wonderful place to stay - great for families!",

"traverse:reviewText": "Our stay at Grey Squirrel Resort was not as expected. For Starters we left a day early and did not use 3 nights I paid for because the cabin and property were old, ant infested, and uncomfortable. They desperately need upgrading and a deep cleaning. It is absolutely NOT 4 star resort by any means in fact it's probably not even 2 stars with very poor reviews. I feel I was mislead on the auction I bought expecting alot nicer. When we checked the Chipmunk was not cleaned and they didn't even know it. Bedding astrew, towels on floor, and dirt all over kitchen. She then gave us the Woodchuck which was horribly old. I felt like I had no choice as I drove 6 hours to get there but to stay polite and take it. The kitchen had ants crawling all over, furniture falling apart and TV had problems. They ended up switching the TV out yesterday. However it wasn't enough for us the stay another night in those conditions. The breakfast consisted if cereal with no milk and no fruit. Plastic wrapped donut and poptarts. They need a lot more! The trip was did nothing for lowering my stress, it actually made me wondered how I was taken advantage of. That resort needs to be reviewed and the owner to pull it together and be honest about the poor condition. The one thing that they did good was the bedding.",

While the staff on property is friendly & trying hard the new owner (who owns several other properties in the area) doesn't appear to care or be committed to a great experience for his guests or his staff. Everything needs repairs & updating but the onsite staff's hands seem to be tied by a lack of financial commitment by the owner. The few updates that have been made seem cheap & are not an improvement. It used to be quaint, cute & cozy. Not anymore. The Jacuzzi hardly ever is functional....sorry, a must for us on a ski trip. We have found other (better & more accommodating) places to stay in Big Bear. You lost us Grey Squirrel. While we'll be back to Big Bear we'll never stay @ GS",

This time it was disappointing. There clearly was renovation work going on as there was exposed slabs of plywood and inoperative heaters. Nails protruded from frames and walls. Maybe a victim of a reno taking longer than expected; but even after mentioning the disarray to the front desk, no compensation of any kind offered. Which really surprised me. Clearly not worthy of the price - considering the state of disarray AND the fact that this was deep into the Off Season.",

The management and staff obviously take pride in their property. We are planning another tripp to Big Bear in July and look forward to all the green grass and flowers.

My wife of 25yrs. set it up, for my 52nd birthday for us, and my son, who just turned 25, and his girl. Baby bear is a great cabin with 2 master bedrooms, fireplace, etc., etc., and a great deck for barbequeing. Oh, my god. If I could afford a home in the mountains,,,this would be it!

If you're looking for an upscale hotel...this is not it. You have to remember that you're staying in a cabin...and that's the experience you should expect. As far as cabins go, the place is great. Yes, you have to drive a little to go places, but it's a matter of only a few minutes to get anywhere in town. It's a great place and priced right.",

I personally stayed in the coyote cabin, a 1 bed room with loft. The main room had a gas fireplace, rather old tv, and comfy couches as well as a heater and dining table for 8 people. Nicely appointed kitchen area with all necessary utensils, just add food and your ready to go. I really enjoyed the in cabin laundry. Nothing beats the ease of drying your wet clothes while haveing hot chocolate. Only thing to watch out for is those stairs...almost feels like your going up a ladder to get to the loft. Once up there, two rooms although you have to go through one to get to the other. Over all a decent place to stay for the price and convience. They have a play area for kids to play as well. Staff was very helpfull, and checking in/out was a breeze. Ill be back...just hope you dont take my cabin.",

We got to our cabin and had a little "Thank you for staying with us" card along with a nice bottle of wine, great touch!! Cabin was nice and clean, beds were comfortable, fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. She even extended the pool hours for our kids who did not want to leave the pool! We loved the live music and complimentary s'mores, the kids had a lovely time.

We first encountered the desk associates whom one sweet girl was training. The young man helping her was quite patient. Next day we brought food to BBQ although our cottage didn't have a private one. I went up and asked and they quickly brought one to us. Again this was the same young man. The customer service was amazing. Our cottage was freshly cleaned and you have to keep in mind it's not a NEW cottage. Mostly all things appeared to be new during the updating. We still chose a 5/5 because of the understanding the owner is trying .. the negatives - our bathroom screen was off which my husband out back on - the bedroom area lamp cap was fallen down which appeared to be in the middle of being fixed and the front porch could of been cleaned much better. The shower area considering it's age again clean just old 100% shout out for the welcome table set up. I don't drink but my husband did enjoy the wine and the welcoming tub goodies - that was just GREAT !! I look forward to the changes throughout the grounds upkeep to have a better appeal. Thank you for making our stay a nice getaway !!        Hello Tammy - We are so happy to read that you enjoyed your stay with us. We appreciate your comment.

The floors felt dirty, the porch lite didn't work, and a broken screen and missing shade upstairs. This was disappointing, but the worse was no TV. They had one smart tv, but it only played one channel and we could not get Netflix's to play. The internet guy came and fixed the problematic connection with the internet, but the tv still wouldn't play. When speaking with the owner, all I got from her an apology, but when asked for a compensation on the price of the cabin she flat said no. I would not recommend staying at these cabins.      Hello Denise - We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us. We also apologize that you were misinformed. We are not sure where you read that we offered Smart TVs. We do not and have not advertised that we have Smart TVs. We tried to offer you a DVD player with over 75 selections of DVD's. We also had our IT Technician drive off the mountain during that Labor Day weekend to pick up an AP, just for you. We also had Maintenance go to your unit to install brand new blinds for the upstairs window. The porch light is solar and fully functioning. We extended our pool hours, we gave complimentary smores and wine, and also had live music. Rustic Hideaway is a newly remodeled two story, three bedroom cabin that offers modern colors and decor. We did try to go above and beyond to make your stay a memorable one. We do hope to see you again in the future. We offer a large selection of other units, each unit varying in their theme. One of the other units may offer more of a style that you prefer. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jpfr0hd7Re5Fz8Q9edyfeA)",

Very cozy cabins. (Fox Cabin). Reasonably priced two bedroom cabin with a kitchen and a fireplace. I read the other reviews and most people were very satisfied staying here so we picked this spot. Some people talked about the decor and weren't happy and some were. It's so quant and crafty, nothing fancy but exactly what we needed for the weekend. We spent all our time outdoors so we didn't need fancy or travel lodge style lodging. The property is very nice and clean. Close to the lake and not a far drive to the shopping area. I have no complaints about our stay. They are even Dog friendly so that's why we chose this place. We will definitely be back.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=FXtJeIRHsUY_4_xJqzYCWg)",

I read Heidi B's review from March 2017 and I don't know if I can express our feelings any better than she did. Her experience mirrored ours. We also had our property managed by the previous owners of Grey Squirrel who were absolutely amazing. Perfect customer service. Since the new owners took over, it was nothing but problems and excuses. Our property has been damaged and items stolen without any communication from Grey Squirrel. We had to discover all of this when we went up to use our place!!! When I spoke with the manager, Sherry, I said we were going to cancel their management service and she asked us to reconsider, stating that they will replace and repair what was wrong. We gave them another chance and 3 months later went back to find not only the repairs not done, but additional things missing!!!!! The customer service at Grey Squirrel nowadays is non-existent and all of my emails have gone unanswered by the staff and ownership. They simply don't care. These owners also own Lily Bear Cabins and I'm shocked that they don't understand the basics of customer service owning two resort properties. I have given up on trying to communicate with these people. I will share my experience with every neighbor and fellow property owner I know in Big Bear and hopefully save them the grief of doing business with people that don't respect their customers. I'm not much of a Yelp reviewer, but felt I had to warn others of this business and their lack of professionalism. The comment from Grey Squirrel regarding this review is the same promise that has been made over and over again. Not to be trusted. But hey, I actually got a response for once! Thanks but no thanks. Not interested in being disrespected any further.      We are sorry you feel your experience with us was less than satisfactory. We will be happy to go over any details of your time in business with us and guarantee a speedy response! We want any and all business partners to feel heard and hope to clear things up with you if possible! - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oAYEaWYPAzMIdSIP_UZz0Q)",

The new management has allowed this once great resort to turn into a disgusting disaster. Forget that it was hard to go swimming because all the kids that worked there allowed their friends, non Grey Squirrel staying people, to play in the pool. It's the fact that the rooms were gross and I found cockroaches throughout our cabin, The otter. I found several cockroaches in our cabin (kitchen and bathroom) so we left a day early - I don't want my baby crawling around on that floor. I let the front office know why I was leaving early and was told a manager would get ahold of me. No one called or emailed. But hey, they got paid an extra day without someone being there so it's probably a big win for them. I've never seen it so dead during the summer... now I know why. Time to find another place in Big Bear.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=365Ry8nkA9GwAnrGFEsYYg)",

We arrived at the Grey Squirrel after a 6 hour drive expecting the "Resort" to look like the brochere and the pretty pictures on the internet. The Ad read that they had heated pool and jacuzzi. The pool had not been working for sometime. The water had evaporated and the pool was half empty and not in working order. The "Cabin" was really a shack. We decided not to stay and we asked for our $424.77 dollars back. When we called the front desk the desk clerk told us we would need to talk to the Manager so she transfered the call. At first Pat said that we could not get a refund until she was paid by BigBear.com. She would not let us explain the reasons why we wanted our money back. The Ad was a fraud. There property did not have a working pool and the jacuzzi was in a little tiny room that was really dirty. Pat hung up on us 3 times instead of handling the call like a Professional. We came back the next morning after staying at the Golden Bear just across the street. The owner at the Golden Bear was very nice. His cottages were very nice. We arrive at 9am at the Grey Squirrel after speaking to the credit card company they said the card needed to be credited to wipe out the earlier charge of $424.77. Pat again would not come down to speak with us. She insisted that she couldn't do anything until Monday when she can call the BigBear.com number. We knew this wasn't true. We called the police and the officer told us that the BigBear.com was just a couple of blocks away and that they were open. We went down to the BigBear Visting office and they provided us with a full refund. Do not stay at the Grey Squirrel.... they lie, their Cabins are shacks and they over charge people. Plus, their Ad's are fraudulent.      The response to a review like this is absurd. Our pool is drained for the fall and winter and is advertised as seasonal. The mere fact the police were called should give some indication of the inability to comment on all of the rest of these one-sided slanders - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ef1QG3fBAefJDqSZ7Ududg)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[b s.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=No5Py909T2R9OqoqhJJNKA) Were in Big Bear this past weekend for Octoberfest. The prices for rooms/cabins is very high at this time of year which limits your options if you want to spend $250 or so for a room. We stayed in the Raccoon cabin at Grey Squirrel. The whole "resort" is undergoing VERY badly needed renovation. Our cabin was TINY in comparison to the pics which must be taken with a special lens to make the cabins appear much bigger than they are. Although the cabin "sleeps 6" plus has a futon, I would not recommend it for more than 4 people, 2 of which would be kids under 12. There is one TINY bathroom that you can barely walk through and a shower so small you can barely raise your arms or bend over. The cabin was clean, the resort staff were great, but these cabins are VERY ROUGH. Just be prepared. Not quite as nice as the pictures would have you think.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Bonnie W.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=54LLCsswtNr7By8k8VRyqQ) We are definitely coming back, thank you so much to the management of Grey Squirrel to giving us such a great weekend! I warn you all: don't let yourself or your kids be tempted by Grey Squirrel's strong WI-FI signal. Put down your tablets and smartphones and enjoy Big Bear! Frankly, I don't understand any negative reviews; are they written by "Karens"? People who've never stayed in rustic mountain cabins before and are expecting the little units to be five-star resort properties, where every tiny disappointment gives them a free night or something? This is a business run by a human being, not a corporation, and yet when we needed anything, we asked for it and got it within minutes, always with a smile. This place has HEART. The cabins are rustic and sweet, each with their own unique charm. Our bed was extremely comfortable and our kitchen was well-suited to our needs (we love to cook and basically prepared all our meals there except one). Water was hot and plentiful for all four adults in our two-bedroom cabin. The grounds are fun to explore. We especially enjoyed the firepit and main barbecues at night, where the new owner, Shirvin, hosted S'mores for each family (each cabin got its own tray of chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallows and skewers) and it was a fun way to meet other guests. It wasn't long before all of us were singing and having a blast. If you're lucky you'll show up on a night like the one where you get s'mores and free hamburgers! There was also a drum circle on one of the nights we were there. We weren't really sure of what to expect but it turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable, kind of an event that cleans out the mental cobwebs. Some guests danced under the stars, some drummed and the rest just listened to it all. The location is good, a quick drive to downtown, within walking distance to a market (although they sell reasonably-priced essentials in Grey Squirrel's office). The cabins have coffee makers but you can also take coffee and cocoa in the office's lobby in the mornings. The new owner of Grey Squirrel Resorts is throwing her heart and soul into fixing up a beloved place that has seen so many happy vacations over the decades. When she took it on it was like a worn teddy bear, embraced to the point of being threadbare. Despite acquiring the property about a month before the COVID lockdowns, she continues to invest a ton of time/money into upgrading all aspects of the cabins and grounds. I don't know how any of these locally-owned small businesses have been able to survive during the pandemic, but if anyone can do it, it is Shirvin. You can see how much love she is pouring into the place.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=NMQHlBBHYFR5KZqy2WRveA)",

They told me on the phone it was an RV space fully equipped with electricity, water, sewer. When I arrived the RV spots were not there, only a dodgy dirt-ground parking area in between pine trees with absolutely no way to get any size RV around them. They said there were 4 spots but there were none. All they had were two electrical outlets hanging from a tree, a water valve that was broken and 3 pipes randomly scattered on the ground to use as a sewer. Totally Insanitary. It was getting dark and maneuvering was impossible without damaging the rental RV for what they took ZERO responsibility. At this moment they are still claiming those are fully equipped RV spots and we are all losing our patience. To fit the RV in the lot we had to take down the cord that separates the property from the neighbor who was a hostile alcoholic old surfer living who used to work for them but got fired. We complained and the lady at the reception was passing the ball to the owner who didn't want to come and help. The old surfer came to the rescue (more or less) and he went into the reception to help us. They had a verbal fight so they kicked him out. At this point it was cold, dark, there was no electricity or water and we were screwed. After a lot of complaining on the phone with the owner, they finally compted us with a free cabin for our stay and reimbursed our money.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=h-YRKLU6QHaSXEas2aV5vQ)",

The surfaces all looked clean but there were many spider webs in corners and a huge one in kitchen sink that just didn't want to die! It's a miracle i didn't get bitten. Check in was easy and fast, front office woman was friendly and helpful. The bed was horribly uncomfortable tho and sheets had a funky wet rag odor to them. There was a mattress topper that made us sink in very uncomfortably, like it caved in. The first night we slept awfully, tossing and turning, couldn't get comfortable! Next morning woke w/a headache and backache and suffered all weekend we were there. We spoke with office and they sent someone to take care of it. He took the mattress topper off and changed the sheets. But, the fact that they had previous complaints about the mattress topper and continue to put it on is beyond me?! Gray Squirrel, please leave the mattress topper off or get new mattresses and please get rid of the spider webs.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=l7dSFFWRnEjq9pPIoyP8Hg)",

If rustic means threadbare old blankets with old pillows that smelled of the 100s of people who put there heads on them, then rustic it was... I wanted to like this place because of the amenities of playground and full kitchen, but my family, my brother-in-law's family and I couldn't get past the general smell of the cabin (but maybe someone had just smoked in it?) and the condition of the bed linens and pillows. We didn't spend much time in the cabins, but overall we didn't get that great of an experience. There were some PROS: It had a lot of space in the cabin, and the boys loved the basketball court.      Thanks for your comments. Our housekeepers and our Quality Control stay on top of clean blankets, bedspreads and pillows as often as needed, which sometimes can be after every occupant. If there was an oversight, I wish you had brought it to our attention when you were there. .Otter is a very popular cabin that we just completed some upgrades, re-tiled bathroom, textured and painted living room and of course the flat screen TV's for all our cabins. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=JphJAgoDkkfbVKaodNtI4w)",

We started in fireside cottage immediately notice the floor is disgustingly dirty, blood on the kitchen table and all glassware is used and dirty. My family went out of our way to purchase cleaning supplies to try and clean up not even 30 minutes after arriving. Once back at the cottage we notice the couch has huge stains that were trying to being hidden by a blanket and the bed sheets had red food? all over, we immediately called booking.com to let them know the situation. The manager meet us 15-20ish minutes later telling me there is no way the facilities could be dirty and that they are checked 3x by 3 different people. I offered to show her inside or even the photos I took and she declined. We then walked over to Beary blessed where she explained it is the only other cabin available and proceeds to walk me through to make sure it is ok for my family. We get to the kitchen she is telling me again how clean everything is while pulling out a clearly visible dirty pan "this shouldn't be in here I'll take this" I let it go because I brought my own cook-wear, then to the living room as she wipes her hand right across the shelf again telling me how clean the place was, lifts up her hand completely black!! At this point I knew I should have asked for a refund but it was the night before thanksgiving and I knew my luck would be slim to none in finding a new cabin. We agreed to stay in this cabin, what other choice did we have? Thanksgiving day the OVEN DOESNT WORK!!! We let the manager know around 5:30, she sent maintenance still did not work even after he "fixed it" again let the manager know at this point it was after 7pm her response was "yeah I know it's old we will have to get someone up here to fix it" WHAT??? Thanksgiving weekend and u couldn't check that the ovens were working prior to guests checking in? Not only did I waist money on this " resort" but also on cleaning supplies and my thanksgiving groceries since we were unable to cook anything! I did not expect a full refund as we did stay and try to use the facilities the best we could again since it was thanksgiving weekend but the least Management could have offered was to refund my cleaning charges or resort fees. I own a business in LA and we are always asked for referrals on places to stay and this will not be one of them. This is truly one of the worst stays I have experienced.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=u5FxG3p2FjWNFAmHA_mDQw)",

The cabin was super clean and everything worked perfectly. There was plenty of hot water, the shower head provided good water flow, the heater worked well, and there were plenty of towels and pillows. The kitchen was also very convenient with everything you would need provided. The surroundings are lovely too, with lots of tall pines and a nice park area at the center of the cabins. It was also very peaceful and quiet. We are looking forward to returning when we can.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=t1pfVoVumat4eUNFKKZ-Jg)",

Be prepared for disappointment if you expect a decent clean place. We had so many problems. Here are just a few: 1\. Kitchen sink backed up repeatedly. 2\. Garbage disposal wasn't working. 3\. Stove would not ignite properly. 4\. Microwave was stuck back in a hole and the door could barely open. 5\. Bedroom door was actually an exterior front door. It squeaked every time it opened or closed. 6\. Beds were horrible and also squeaked whenever we moved. 7\. Huge closets with no hangers. 9\. Plugs in bathroom didn't work. 10\. Shower handle was broken and repeatedly fell off when touched. 11\. Broken window in bathroom. 12\. Cabinet pulls were almost falling off. 13\. Continental breakfast was terrible. Raisin Bran was so stale the raisins were more like rocks. Cheap packaged donuts were stale too. Poor selection. Office didn't open until 8:00, so had to wait to get breakfast. I read review from Dustin H. from Chino Hills dated January (2018) and saw that we had the same problems and more. In fact, I could tell from his description that we stayed in the same cabin. That means nothing has been done since January to fix any of these issues. I call that neglect. My friend is the one who arranged to stay here so I didn't know anything about it. If you have high expectations, you'll be disappointed. I felt like we were duped.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PyNz9QOlfnTOmyOr4pa7xw)",

They did not tell us that the dumpster was almost a mile away. So my last activity in big bear was walking 2 bags of trash a mile to the dumpster. \- They advertise wireless internet in all cabins, even off resort ones. However when I called and asked for the name of the network and the password they could not help me at all. Luckily I didn't have anything time pressing, otherwise it could have been a real problem. Otherwise its a fairly decent value and a good place to relax.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=K7WlrGwzqdv147kSHl3uIw)",

The new owner was amazing; she went out of her way to accommodate us and provide us with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the S'mores and Hot Cocoa Campfire Social, as well as playing all sorts of games, such as ping pong, badminton, volleyball, and intense card games. The cabins were clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated. They were so much better than the previous resorts we've stayed at in Big Bear. The grounds were very peaceful and there were a lot of snug sitting areas to relax with a book or sunbathe. I personally loved sitting on one of the swings while enjoying nature. The cabins were also conveniently located within walking distance of Big Bear Lake. We'll definitely visit again and bring even more friends and family with us next time!

"traverse:reviewText": "[Joanna B.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Vp3TGBVwYO9OfEs20XzkHw) I had booked a cabin for myself and two others who were heading to Big Bear to attend a funeral service for one of my dearest friends mother who had suddenly passed away. Big Bear was her hometown, so the family planned a celebration of life for the weekend of March 11th. Upon doing my research for a reasonably priced place to stay close to the venue, I settled on Grey Squirrel. When you go to book, you don't get the full extent of their booking and cancellation policies (or lack there of, I was told today on the phone that I "can't cancel") until you supply your credit card for 50% of your stay PLUS the resort and cleaning fee upfront, which is an additional 40$ and 75$ respectively. We watched the weather, as it was very clear that the resort does not let you cancel owning weather. Which is rather dumb, frankly, but it's their policy. But what happens when the roads are closed by Cal Trans and CHP and their only allowing residents to get access to Big Bear? We are not residents of Big Bear, and we didn't want to drive the 5+ hours only to get turned around by the CHP. So, owning the road closures I called to see what could be done about canceling our reservation and ideally getting some of the $330 I paid up-front back. This wasn't due to weather, this was Cal Trans and CHP, and 100% out of our control. When I called eariler in the week I was told, in no uncertain terms that I will NOT recieve any type of refund, and they could change my reservation date to a new date - which I didn't apply to us in this situation. I was then told to call back on Thursday because if the roads are closed they could push our arrival date out - again this doesnt apply to us. We were not going for a ski vacation, we were going to attend a funeral. My party and I made other arrangements since we couldn't rely on the road conditions and being able to safely get up the mountain. I called this morning to just cancel, and was told I can't cancel and they can push out my arrival date - again doesnt apply. I spoke with the same young woman I spoke with Tuesday who then said,"Well, you know youre not getting any money back, right?" Yes, you've made that clear. And thank you for turning an already sad and stressful situation, into one that leaves a bad taste in my mouth regarding Grey Squirrel's business practices. Reading others reviews I am saddened to read how dirty the cabins are, and unkept. But, for me, owning the less than stellar customer service I expierenced even before stepping on the property will be reason enough for me to never book here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=dwAx7D1cml8DbIlFB5wXzA)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Megan S.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ZIQcW6nOI5fn95GMyxaB_A) We stayed in the Beaver cabin with two adults, two kids (age 6 & 9) and a big dog. I didn't know what to expect since the place got mixed reviews, but we loved it. The staff was so nice and wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed. It had snowed right before we came, and someone let us know that there was a nice hill right behind the cabin to sled down, which saved us the 20 something dollars a person to go tubing anywhere. The cabin was tiny, but enough space for us for the 2 nights we were there. Another review mentioned that the second bedroom was like a converted closet, and it really is tiny. The bunks take up the whole room. But for small kids it's fine, ours actually loved having their own little space. It might not be big enough for anyone older than 12 or so. Kitchen is small but had everything we needed to cook breakfast and lunch. Only 2 people can fit at the kitchen table though. Bathroom was nice, it looked like the shower had been remodeled. Wall heater worked great. Living room only has a loveseat but there is a flat screen TV and the bedroom has a TV for the kids to watch. Everything was really clean and taken care of. The grounds of the resort were great, especially having a dog with us. Plenty of space for him to roam and sniff. Even though everything was covered in snow, our kids could still play on the little playgoun. We are already planning on coming back in the summer to take advantage of the pool and the rest of the grounds, we might just get a bigger cabin next time. The price is definitely right!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YtANx9xIdmRgfKCT2ofQgw)",

There was trash and pills left over from the previous occupants, my feet were black from the disgusting floor. We were charged $150 per night plus $85 for our cheweenie as well. We stayed 1 night and decided to depart.

The personnel were very helpful and friendly. The resort looked really cute although it was covered in snow, but they have little clear lights strung all over the resort which looks really good.

When my son and I checked out the next morning, the nice lady at the front desk advised me that the owners had read my review and wanted to know if we wanted a rain check for the disruption that we had experienced!! Talk about OUTSTANDING service recovery! My hat is off to Joyce and Hillary (owners) for really taking the time for making things right! My son loved your place and we will be back!!     Staying inn Moose tonight. Pretty much like the other reviewers have stated. It's nondescript, old school "cabiny" style. Which is okay considering the price point. However, the one bedroom in Moose backs up to the front porch of possom. So when the neighbors checked in after 11pm and took over an hour to unload smoking their cigarettes and loudly laughing, it was a huge issue as now the stench and noise was unbearable (no pun intended) after Midnight! - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=-vA0HDiqsf_I1nY9xiP1lA)",

After 40 years with the previous owners managing our cabin, they sold to these new owners who are HORRIBLE! We've had so much damage to our property and when we asked repeatedly for the owners to call us we never heard a word- cigar burns in our brand new carpet and ruined curtains that the Manager Chantel promised my 90 year old mother they would take care of and never did-now today we arrive at our property to find that our driveway was torn up when they dozed the snow for renters, a MONTH after we told them not to rent anymore!

There were 4 towels, washrags, one kitchen towel and one kitchen washrag, and 1.. only 1 trashbag.

This would be true if we ate at restaurants a lot but 6 people who brought food and drinks with them... we obviously had more trash! lol Totally whatever though.. just a funny thing we came across that was odd!

Big toys are available for young children (plastic and wood). There is a pool but is was winterized. The cabin is for 6 people yet there were not enough dishes for 5. If you want to stay here, bring extra dishes just in case. Sponge was not is a sealed plastic and appeared used. Bring your own sponge or cloth. Wash all dishes before you use them. There is no dishwasher. The ice maker did not work so you will need to buy ice. The cabin was chilly so bring your own heater and blankets. The cabin is very rustic, meaning dirty. I don't mean not neat, I mean that I had to sweep the floors that had a huge pile of dirt and leaves. I refused to take my shoes off. Luckily, the sheets were clean. Shampoo and soaps were left over from the last people who stayed here. This is a pet friendly place which means there were pets in the cabin. I should have checked before booking. The outlets are upside down so not properly installed and they are loose. We had to look around for one that was tight enough to charge our phones. If you like vintage, this is the place for you. We probably won't be staying here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=U54L9ulfJxTL4vOdWlMkMw)",

Got to the room everything in working order but did notice that hair was not cleaned out of the jaccuzi from the previous guests also be sure to ask if the jaccuzi actually works!?! If your paying the additional $$$ for the room upgrade then shouldn't they know what works and what doesnt, because essentially we paid for a big ass bath tub in the middle of the room. I called when got home and the lady said i should have called the 24 maintenance hotline so they could send someone out; at 12 o clock at night on my anniversary you want to inconvenience me and my wife for something that should have checked prior to our arrival. Then she said previous guests should have reported the jaccuzi broken, so that's my fault??? I asked her to have the manager call me but they never did, good cabins shitty customer service and ask the right questions.      We see you had some issues with your recent stay and appreciate you reaching out to us. Bringing up this matter provides us with the tools necessary to better serve you in the future. We wanted to provide some information to hopefully clear a few things up with you. Our 24 hour line is made available to guests so if they run in to an issue like this they can call us at any time to resolve the problem quickly. We never want our guests to feel as though they can not reach us in the case of an emergency or problem, so we always want to make sure guests know that it is put in place for their use.

We booked the "Honeymoon suite" and were expecting privacy, especially with the shades down!?! We were very uncomfortable after finding out later on in the night, after showering and changing in the room thinking nobody can see us, meanwhile anyone walking by or driving by can see everything. No air conditioning, NO overnight maintenance, clerk or security personnel on site. UNPROFESSIONAL OWNER/ MANAGEMENT: after finding out there was zero staff on sight overnight we called the number on office door for assistance. We discovered the issue later on in the night so i called for assistance at around 12:30 AM.. And the owner picked up and heard us out and realized that there was a privacy issue and offered to move us to a different unit, but i asked if the shades were the same? And she said, yes. So we refused and just asked for a refund cause we were not comfortable with the environment. So she kept saying we can not do a refund because we have been there for a few hours already, and I explained to her that we had just discovered the problem, and she was not concerned about our comfort she was just concerned about the $300 room she just charged us for. So she insisted on covering the windows with black trash bags. Due to the conditions we were faced with we felt forced to stay there cause she was not going to refund us for our inconvenience. OVERALL: Poorly managed and very unprofessional about providing proper services, place was clean but dealing with owner was unpleasant. Owner began to raise her voice a few times because it seemed like she was agitated at the fact that there was no maintenance or employee to help with her labor. I understand her frustration, but you should not take on a business if you can not manage it properly. Maybe you should take some of that money and pay your employees more so they can actually want to help. Stay humble, you should not argue with unhappy customers at 3AM outside where the rest of the tenants can hear you. Thats is disturbing the peace at your own business. It does not make any sense. Maybe seek some therapy as well. Dr. Phil is a great show. OMG I LOVE OPRAH TO. Anyways i hope this was helpful. And wish you peace on the rest of your journey.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Steven C.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=leSiMSXXnlBvWS4WtVKMtA) My extended family rented 8 cabins at Grey Squirrel for our annual "Cousin campout"this year. The process to reserve the cabins was easy and the check in process was super smooth as well. When we got to our cabin my wife and I were excited by the layout of the cabin and it's amenities. That was the last time we were happy in the cabin itself. Here are the CONS of our cabin: 1\. We had ants everywhere in the cabin including the toilet! - notified the office via text and didn't hear anything back until 2 hours later. 2\. The bed was extremely uncomfortable - the mattress topper was horrible and was compressed in the middle of the bed causing my wife and I to roll into each other. 3\. You had to hold down the handle to the toilet to get the contents of the toilet to actually be flushed. 4\. Spider webs everywhere in the cabin. I understand that spiders live in the woods and spider webs can be found in a rustic cabin. But there were spider webs everywhere. 5\. After taking my first shower in the cabin I waled to the bed barefooted to grab my clothes and when I went back into the bathroom I felt something on my foot. I lifted my foot and saw that my feet were dirtier than they were before I took a shower. The shower and bed are maybe 12 feet from each other which shows how dirty the floors actually were. 6\. Attempted to heat some food in the over only to find that the oven didn't work. 7\. Full kitchen with an oven that didn't work and no microwave. 8\. Faucet on bathroom sink was loose. 9\. Kitchen utensils included 2 forks, 2 spoons, 2 butter knives and 2 crappy serving utensils. Barely enough for 2 people and one meal. 10\. The kitchen drawers were dirty and sticky. 11\. Live edge countertops were rustic! And where the wood had split it was loose and made the surface uneven. 12\. Outlet near bed didn't work. 13\. Blinds block out some of the light coming in, but at night you can see clear into the cabin giving no privacy to the occupants. 14\. On the day before our departure I saw the cleaning lady enter a cabin to clean it and was amazed at what I saw. She entered the cabin and I'm assuming she cleaned areas of the cabin. She grabbed a broom and assume she swept the cabin pulled. Then she pulled a visibly dirty mop off her cart and proceeded to clean the floors with it. No mop bucket, no clean water to rinse the mop, just a dirty mop. I normally don't write reviews, but after staying here I knew I had to say something to hopefully prevent someone else from staying at this resort. I am not the only one that had issues with their cabins on this trip. Every family member staying in all 8 cabins had a lot of the same issues with their cabins. If I could have rates them with no stars I would have. Hands down, the worst accommodations I've ever stayed in     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=OAweCJw2P5wAC3s60DPiXw)",

They've redone flooring, exteriors, wiring, sewing, updated the pool, and more. These cabins were built in 1945 and so they aren't the most modern cabins they still have a rustic charm to them. This year we rented out 5 cabins with almost 30 of us. And we all kept talking about how much we loved it. We plan on coming back again... year after year... like we have for 30+ years. The open space for the kids to play. There are brooms and mops in the cabins. The jacuzzi to work (hasn't worked in years) and to let kids use it too. Complete sets of dishes and pans in each cabin. Chunks of concrete to be raked up. The little river rock thing to be flowing with water. The tether ball court to have an actual tether ball on it. The back of the cabins to not have junk piled (but you can tell they are cleaning up.)     [See all photos from Kayla D. for Grey Squirrel Resort & Vacation Rental Homes](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/grey-squirrel-resort-and-vacation-rental-homes-big-bear-lake-2?userid=Hnt-3S-_YLNT73wQR_e6ng)      Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feed back so we can address issues, improve, and create a more quality experience for everyone! There are a few things from your stay we would like to go over in hopes to clear up any misunderstandings and address some points brought up Sometimes smaller items such as can openers and pot holders will walk off, especially during the busy period, we are happy to supply anything the kitchens may be missing and are always grateful when these items are reported so that they can be replaced The back area of the unit rented is not for guests use and will sometimes be used as storage for a short period of time For any shared bathroom plumbing issues can occur when there are many people using one facility, we try to address every issue such as this as quickly as we can beacuse this was a group reservation we have very little information on the details of your stay, if you would like to go over this matter with us you can reach out to us at our main office. We always appreciate hearing the guests side of things. First, let me say that I have a really hard time writing anything bad about this place because my family has been coming here for OVER 30 years. The layout of the cabins, grass/play area, and pool area make this a great location for family reunions. The layout alone would make this a 5-star review. BUT over the last couple of years the resort has been under "Lily Bear" Management. And they really aren't taking care of the place. When our group stayed, we rented out 8+ cabins. And we all stayed for 5 nights plus. My immediate family stayed in the Fox Cabin. Each cabin is supposed to come supplied with basic kitchen items like pots, utensils, and cups. In reality, all of us were calling each other, "Do you have a cutting board?" "Do you have a can opener?" "How about a sharp knife?" It was ridiculous. If we hadn't had 8+ cabins to rummage through we wouldn't have been able to cook a meal. Take a look at all the pictures I am posting. This resort is in serious need of restoration. \- No broom (They don't have daily maid service so this is actually a really big deal to not even have a broom to sweep out the kitchen.) \- Dirty BBQ and it was missing pieces \- The fire alarms weren't plugged in \- Did not have a functional dining space \- The refrigerator went out and had to be replaced by 2 different fridges. (And when the food started going bad - they offered us a coupon that was for some random Chinese or Himalayan restaurant that was only for "online orders".) \- The playground is unsafe for kids. The slide launches little kids off. There are chains loose. And broken plastic pieces. It's a danger zone. (But we did notice that they have a new set still in boxes (with spider webs on it) behind one of the cabins???) \- Old mattresses leaned up against the cabins \- Community fire pit NEVER cleaned \- The bridge was being held together with some random piece of plywood \- The roof on many cabins needs serious repair \- The trashes weren't being taken out. \- Random landscaping tools were laid out in random places throughout the resort. \- Random wires hanging off cabins \- The advertised creek doesn't even have water running through it \- Chunks of concrete are missing \- The previous owners took such good care of the landscaping outside of the cabins and would spruce it up with new seasonal flowers... now they just let it all go to weeds and dirt. Towards the end of our trip, the Coyote Cabin had serious plumbing issues and my family that were staying in that cabin had to be moved to a different cabin for a night. They weren't even offered a refund or anything. They considered the move to a bigger cabin an "upgrade" that we should be thankful for. \- Pool area was not kept up. They don't sweep or pick up towels. \- They couldn't even roll up the pool cover properly. \- The gate lock isn't functional. \- There wasn't running water in the bathroom. My family loves coming here because of the layout and ALL THE MEMORIES. When we spoke with the new owner/management about our concerns they basically said, "Thanks for your feedback." We have to find a new place in Big Bear that has a great layout like the Grey Squirrel. If you know of one, let me know. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=WVhZq32TRFfq5K7dC0AwgQ)",

Nice to have your privacy and separation yet avoid the cost of cabin rental fees (only paid for the nightly rate and taxes just like at a hotel). This cabin is huge with a fireplace in the middle of the living room, a piano, a very large balcony, bbq grill, tables/chairs, recliners surrounded by pine trees on a private road. There are 3 rooms, 1 with a queen bed. 2nd room has 3 queen beds, 3rd room upstairs has 2 queen beds plus 3 twin beds! Upstairs can get warm in the afternoon but at night was fine, the cabin has a/c that worked great except it doesn't reach upstairs. The cabin has 3 bathrooms all with showers. 1 with a tub/shower combo. The kitchen/entire cabin is "vintage/rustic" but very clean. The living room very spacious . Wish though they had a larger screen TV but we were in & out all day anyway. Staff was very friendly, quick and efficient. Will definitely stay here again!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gVP3CtNLUnQIFBGLRPHv9Q)",

I'm sure it's still nice, but the info they want on you is not worth it. They want credit card info, a COPY of your driver's license and your signature. This is identity theft waiting to happen. Where most places have a 1-2 week cancellation policy, this is one month. NO REFUND within that time, just "a voucher" to stay here at a later time. I've stayed in too many places all over the west - CA, AZ, UT, OR, WY, NV, CO - and no one wants an actual copy of your driver's license. Way too suspicious for me. I'll never stay there again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=760ejcTUz661kzKJsTJkAg)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Tanya R.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=znRDEDCbWlMVH7WJQsYD1A) This is one those places that you see on "Hotel Impossible" the filth, the broken fixtures, nasty linens, etc... This used to be our go to place to stay ever since I was a little kid. I had fond memories of staying here and playing in their playground, or swimming in the pool. It has been years since we have stayed here. So for our annual family vacation we decided to rent one of the largest units that they have. The "Mink" which sleeps up to 14. When we arrived in Big Bear we drove around the grounds and noticed that the men were working on the unit, and actually replacing the sinks, and the unit was in shambles. We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and come back at check in time and hope for the best. When we arrived back at 2pm, we walked in. The unit appeared clean and put together, which was a miracle considering the shape it was in 3 hours before. We unloaded all of our things, and designated rooms to everyone. As soon as we took a closer look at things we were blown away by how trashy and in my opinion unrentable this unit actually was. The linens are nasty! completely dated and had stains all over them. The bathrooms had full size toiletries that are 1/2 used. The drawers in the kitchen were sticky, and so broken they would not even open. The website advertised 2 stoves, and 2 refrigerators. (Which was a huge plus for us because we had a lot of ppl. with us) there was none of that. The "2" refrigerators they did have, 1 was an apartment size, and the other was a small compact one, that you would see in a dorm room. Big enough for some soda. Keep in mind they told me this unit was totally remodeled. The carpet upstairs was bunching and starting to come up. There were no screens on one of the bedrooms upstairs, and with kids, this is NOT acceptable. The walls were dirty and had stains on them. Not to mention the whole smell of the place was gross. We made all our concerns known to the Manager, and she was very helpful. They even brought an extra refrigerator, and table. We truly appreciated they efforts. But after staying a few more hours, it was just to much. For the amount we were paying none of these things were acceptable. I'm not sure if this place was sold in the past few years, or changed ownership?? but we will never be staying here again. All the rooms need a complete renovation, new linens, new beds, paint, and updated kitchens. We checked out about 5 hours after we got there, and ended up finding a house directly on the lake for slightly more than what we paid here. I appreciate that they refunded all of our money. Please think before renting a room here, it truly is not what it used to be.

We have been coming here for several years and the beautifully landscaped property and cute, rustic cabins has always kept me coming back. Now under new ownership, I have another reason to return and that is Shervin who recently bought this gem of a property. She is putting her heart and soul into making improvements in all areas of the property and simply wants her guests to have the best possible experience, which we did! I was excited to see multiple areas on the property with comfy furniture to relax, take a break and read, which I did several times (those red luxe hammocks!). She has maintained the recreation areas the kids have always enjoyed like the nice sand volleyball court, the 1/2 basketball court, a new ping pong table, improvements to the swimming pool (and there is a spa which we didn't use), plus the big grassy area where families can carry out a variety of activities. She has also moved the kids playground to a safer and more sensible location. I appreciate how each cabin has a gas BBQ to use and a picnic table too. When I asked if we could have a larger picnic table in front of our cabin for al fresco dining, she made it happen right away and did it joyfully. We enjoyed that table every evening for our wonderful dinners in the fresh air. Our cabin had very comfortable beds and pillows which is an absolute must for a good stay. The cabin had some new furniture which I really appreciated and the TV was finally placed where it always should have been...yay! Although we barely watched it because there are way too many other nice things to do. Not only is Shervin determined that guests have a wonderful stay, but so is her crew of Nick, James and front office Nick. I had interactions with each of them, and every time they were responsive, kind and resolved any concern or issue I had. Her crew really are gems and she is lucky to have their dedication and attentiveness to help her bring her vision of the place to reality. Our family can't wait to return to Grey Squirrel for years to come...we know we have many more memories to make at this beautiful mountain resort!

It has definitely grown up and in the process we found a wonderful rustic resort with a number of cabins on the property. We stayed in the Moose cabin. We were pleasantly surprised. It was spacious with a unken living room, fireplace, nice ktchen with all the amenities and a good sized bedroom with a King bed. We enjoyed the deck off the back as it overlooks the gardens and the central grounds. They have a chipping area for golfers, volleyball, horseshoes, shuffleboard for those who wish to partake. We found the cabin to be neat and clean and very comfortable. Plenty of room for us and the 2 dogs. We liked the fact that it was walking distance to the lake but away from the "down town" area. We had a great time and will definitely be going back. woud recommend to anyone who likes rustic, charmng and coy with all the necessitis.

Older property but immaculately maintained, inside and out. Wonderful grounds for kids, though ours are of the 4-legged variety. All of the staff, including maintenance and office were friendly and most accomodating. We had a plumbing issue at 10:00 at night. We called the office and they had someone down to the cabin in 30 minutes to fix it. that doesn't happen very often. Will be back again. Walking distance to the lake and lots to do on the property. Thanks for a great weekend.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=FMXx5xVLcuuClaHr0_aQZw)",

AMAZING! From the moment we arrived We were provided with a humble group of employees who were able to answer all our questions and cater to all of our needs. We had a couple issues in our cabin which at 1st were upsetting but once we voiced our concerns that moment they were on the job to fix things which says a lot about their commitment to outstanding service. The grounds are immaculate and they have tons of activities (for free) that many resorts do not offer including jump houses, pool table, ping pong, and free of charge propane for their grills and fire pit! Special thanks to the management team for answering our questions and fixing our issues! Also thanks to Ashley for putting up with our family in the late hours! We will definitely be back and my wife plans on having her whole family come up for a gathering soon! Highly recommend staying here for those of you looking, we did our last family reunion at the Golden Bear across the street and hands down Grey Squirrel is the right choice!

"traverse:reviewText": "[Brian H.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=QPx4YjlJHmIXMRvfuokhzQ) This was mine and my wife's first time to Big Bear and we absolutely loved the whole experience. We came here as a last minute vacation with very little research. We planned this trip with a weeks advance as a Baby moon as we are expecting our first child. We were daunted by all the cabins that are available in Big Bear. But we finally decided on the gopher cabin at the Grey Squirrel. This was a Summer trip and as we pulled into the grounds we were very amazed with the outward appearance. It was as if I had transported into my childhood vacation experience of what a summer camp had been. Green grass, a well kept pool on the right and and a fire pit on the left. This place was so lush and green. (We went to other places during our weekend in Big Bear and found nothing similar.) The grounds were open and inviting. Our cabin was in the back of the grounds and each came with parking. We were excited to see the inside as the internet pictures were not very helpful or accurate as to what we would experience. The Gopher cabin is a one bedroom cabin with a living room, kitchen and all the amenities you would think that would come in a summer cottage rental. The first thing you experience is the smell of camp fire which permeates the whole cabin. A wonderful smell which really sets the lake vacation mood. The cabin is a perfect size for two and was absolutely perfect for us. As the weekend went on we met several families that have called this community a summer vacation home for several years. Many of the people we met here have been coming here since the were kids and now have kids themselves. Nora who works the front desk is very friendly and informative, telling us what is good and fun to do in and around the town even though she has probably told hundreds of other couples before us. The residents are friendly as we met several neighbors who were willing to open their lives to us including an older but (young at heart) couple who had rented a pontoon boat for the evening and had asked us to join them on a tour of the lake, which we graciously accepted showed us a wonderful time. We stayed for three nights and cooked all our meals there as the cabin also comes with a charcoal BBQ and outside table. Our dog loved the trip as well. The property is just off the lake but within walking distance. We rented kyaks, went on a hike and checked out the town while we were there. We were also lucky enough to see the inside of most of the cabins over the weekend and Monday morning when everyone left and they all look different but authentic as summer cabins depending on your families needs. Everything was perfect and we had a wonderfully relaxing weekend.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=EJVL7_oQJTAASNJYeY_32g)",

We checked in to Grey Squirrel Resort and Vacation rental on June 14, 2022 for three nights to Hidden Creek. On the second night Wednesday at 9pm we were watching tv and noticed a mouse ran across the kitchen floor. So we called and maintenance came out with a broom and two mouse traps with peanut butter on them. They placed the traps in the kitchen between the stove and cabinet. Well the smart mouse didnt get caught. That night they never checked back on us or suggested to move cabins. So we slept in the car. Then the following night Thursday we seen the mouse again. Still nothing from management or maintenance. As we ended our stay we went to check out Friday morning. We informed them of the mouse. CHARLES said I will only comp you one night. Not acceptable. Then he said I will comp your cleaning fee. We barely got that out of him. He said he would talk to the owner and contact me with the information on anything else. He said well you are in the mountains. Still not acceptable wouldn't give us the owners information at all. Then on top of all that. The tub was stained and old and doesn't drain so you are taking and shower and a bath at the same time. Not including the ants. Not including the mouse dropping we found behind the refrigerator and stove etc. Also there were cobwebs everywhere. Very dirty. Again Hidden Creek there is still probably a mouse there. It ruined our planned romantic weekend getaway. We were stressed out and uncomfortable. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jJk72xpxrvtib9O92zkeNA)",

This 4th of July week was the first time we have stayed after the new owners took over. While they have done some work on the cabins we found that the new furniture in the moose cabin is cheap and very uncomfortable. We were also not really happy with the kids that pass for on site management now. Not near as helpful as when the old owners were there. I also noted that one of them who was helping to show the movie on the lawn smelled like he just stumbled out of a bar. Maybe it's just me but I don't think you should drink at work. We spend a lot of time in Big Bear and will be looking for a new place to stay.     This is our favorite place to stay while in Big Bear. We love the Mose cabin. Quiet, clean & dog friendly.

Our cabin had plenty of space, the upstairs had 2 King beds which were very hard and uncomfortable, but I wasn't really expecting high end luxurious beds anyway. A fan was provided which came in handy, I couldn't see myself staying here during the height of summer for there is no air conditioning, and the room was just barely comfortable enough. The downstairs room was very small with a Queen bed. The furnishings were comfortable enough (though run-down) and the electronics outdated (a tape deck?!). The grounds had plenty of grassy areas, a nice play yard, and BBQ grills, and places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Comparing this place to other similar resorts along the way, the Grey Squirrel clearly is one of the prettiest with lots of trees and landscaping; the other resorts looked sparse with no grass and few trees. The owner was friendly and was helpful with her 'local' opinion on places to go. Would recommend for families with children - a safe place for your children to play, explore, and bike around, would definitely stay here again for Spring or early Summer trips!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=2ZfPOCBJtFB02WOcsehw7w)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Brian O.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=s-tg1ivlHnd0rgk-dVU7SQ) I have been going to Big Bear with my family and friends my entire life - 48 years. There are usually 25 to 35 of us and we rent 6 to 10 cabins. We have stayed in a few different resorts throughout the years, but the last 10 or 15 years we have stayed at the Grey Squirrel. The grounds are nice and it can handle the amount of people that we bring up. We always have a great time and my kids look forward to going and being with their family every year. However , the Grey Squirrel has been sold to new owners so I thought I would let you in on a few of the new features at the "GS", as we like to call it. 1\. Were you tired of fitting all of your food in the full size refrigerators that they used to have? Well you don't have to worry about that any longer with the new apartment sized fridges that they have installed. Hope you like driving to Vons every day. They also got rid of those pesky large TVs and replaced them with a 13" inch Famsungz, I think that's the sister company of Samsung. 2\. Need a car wash? No problem, most of the sprinklers never hit the soil, but water your car. Great! Don't forget your sponge. Glad there is not a draught problem. 3\. When you are on vacation do you ever miss that raw sewer smell that you get from a county fair Andy Gump? Well the New GS had us covered for that. They had installed an actual river of raw sewage that the city had to come clean out 5 days into our stay. I can still picture volley ball rolling in it. Good times (The reason I knew it was sewage was because I heard the manager telling one of his many friends that stopped by about it. However, none of the guests were told.) 4\. The pool and Jacuzzi. I could honestly go on for pages about this but I will try and keep it short. Remember those boring days sitting around the pool swimming, drinking and playing with your kids? Well the new GS has taken care of that with their new stoned/drunk pool boy! Yes you can have hours of fun watching him walk around with his bathing suit down below his ass crack drinking his Mikes Hard Lemonade while enjoying a smoke. How can I get this job? (The Jacuzzi never worked the whole time we were there) 5\. I almost forgot about the best part - POOL PARTIES!!!!! That's right people, with your overpriced cabin you get to share the pool area with all the employees and their drunken friends. You get to NOT use a table, NOT use the pool toys locked in the back and breathe in all the second hand smoke you can....Don't forget your beer bong! Ok I'm done with the sarcasm, and honestly, I wish I was lying about this stuff, but I am not and I still left some things out. We have enjoyed many great years at the GS and just want the things run professionally. CSI is not just a TV show with a great intro. It also means Customer Satisfaction Index. So please get some real managers in there and get the Grey Squirrel back to the 3 1/2 star resort is used to be.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=TXjO2gUWZeCIM2b6x2W7FA)",

First, our cabin was MUCH smaller than pictured. The advertisements said that the cabin slept 2-4. It was extraordinarily small, possibly about 500 sq feet. The spare bedroom with a bunk bed was probably a converted closet. It was so small, they couldn't even fit a dresser in there. The mattresses in the bunks weren't even long enough to fit in the beds. The windows and screens in the cabin were very old and warped. I couldn't imagine staying there in the winter. We would have frozen to death because there is only a weak heater in the living room. There is no air conditioning. The "master" had a full size bed that was very old and springy. If my husband moved, the whole bed bounced up and down, immediately waking me up. It also reeked of smoke (cigarettes) so I had to buy Febreeze the next day because the stink kept us awake that first night. Also, to move around the bed, you basically had to climb over it. Although they advertised maid service, they never once changed the sheets and only made the bed three of seven nights. They only vacuumed if we requested it. They kept forgetting to take out the trash in the kitchen. The clock in the living room didn't work. The microwave took 10 minutes to cook popcorn. The oven, no matter what temperature you set it to, never got hotter than about 200 degrees. That was after they fixed the door, which was jammed shut. The hot tub and restroom in the hot tub house were quite funky. Although the owner was very nice when I spoke to her, the staff in the front office was less than friendly and was openly irritated when I called to report issues. From the map they give to potential guests, it looks as if they are on the lake. It's not true. They are at least three blocks away and there is no beach anywhere near them. The only way to get in to the water near this resort is if you rent a boat of some sort at the marina. Things that are nice about Grey Squirrel? The pool is in great shape and isn't too chlorinated. They have a sand volley ball court, a putting green, shuffleboard, a small playground, and ample space for kids to run around and ride bikes. There isn't a lot of traffic so the kids can run around like crazy. It is located close to town, too. It's pretty cheap and there are bigger cabins that may be in better condition. I would stay at Grey Squirrel again but not in Beaver cabin.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=sRz38liPX_1IMhV2vY_9wQ)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Kathy C.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=TXjO2gUWZeCIM2b6x2W7FA) I wish I could give this place zero stars, and that makes me sad because my extended family and I have been staying here every summer for more 12 years. We have been coming to Big Bear every summer for at least 50 years. Last year we found out that the resort had been sold. This year is our first stay under the new management. I am actually astounded at how bad things have gotten. 1\. The grounds have always been tidy and park like. This year we were immediately struck by dead plants around the cabins. I am completely aware that there is a drought but careful watering has kept flowers blooming all over other resorts in Big Bear. Or those areas with dead plants could have been replanted with drought tolerant species rather then leaving dirt and weeds. The creek that runs through the property stunk like sewage for 5 days until it was finally pumped out by what looked like city trucks. 2\. The pool- the pool has been resurfaced and looks quite nice. HOWEVER, the jacuzzi was out of service the entire time we were up here (8 days). They kept saying it would be fixed in 3 days. Not so. It was also often impossible to enjoy the pool. On at least 5 out of the 8 days the pool area was taken over by employees of the resort and their families and friends. There are only three tables and at least two were taken by employees who were apparently relaxing on their day off. The staff was completely unprofessional. The guy supposedly working on the broken jacuzzi took breaks to drink a hard cider, swim in the pool and flirt with teenage guests. The manager (and I use the term loosely) hung out with his buddies by the pool- taking beer from their stash and putting it in the employees only closet by the pool. All employees seem to smoke and took their smoke breaks wherever they happened to be standing. 3\. Cabins- our family stays in cabins on the resort property itself. We rent between 7-10 cabins on the property for a week. Between all of us, we have stayed in almost every cabin on the property. In the past, all cabins were very well fitted out with dishes, pots and pans and utensils. This year everyone agreed that the cabins are barely equipped. We have had to beg, borrow and improvise in order to fix dinners. There are holes in the screens and there is a broken curtain rod in the bedroom. The bathroom in our cabin is ridiculously small but does have plenty of towels. The beds are comfortable. There have been no improvements in the cabin we stayed in. The carpet and floors are filthy. Bring slippers!!! Housekeeping is weird and unpredictable. 4\. WIFI- there is none. The website and two signs in the office and out front say "free wifi"- don't believe them. The only wifi we were ever able to use was from The Majestic Moose resort next door. We asked staff repeatedly about wifi access and they just said "Yeah, it's sketchy" and blamed the cable provider. There was much more wrong with the place (eg they "improved" some of the cabins by removing full size refrigerators and replacing them with apartment sized refrigerators- a cabin that sleeps 8 with a tiny fridge?!) but suffice it to say that they new owners have just about ruined a fairly nice place. We do not expect anything fancy. We know Big Bear and its quirks and idiosyncrasies. But this experience was just completely unacceptable. On checkout we met a woman who said she was the district manager for the new owners. She claimed she would take care of all the issues. But she would not give me the owner's names or contact info and she did not offer any kind of refund or compensation for the things that were wrong with the place. I hope she is able to make a difference but I won't hold my breath.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=XfrY-bvtFovRGpeDHiKUug)",

Although the staff really tries, none of them seem to be trained or equipped to repair all that is broken - and that is a lot. The pool table, the fooz ball table, basketball hoop, fire pit, croquet set, hot tub, toilets, TVs, the list goes on and on of what needs repair. We spent a good majority of time just trying to get things fixed. Kelly tried to make things right but it comes down to ownership with this place. Oh - and if ownership is reading this - please don't place a 20 something year old as a Manager and if you do, train her to not be condescending to your guests. Ariel could use some training from Kelly who did everything in her power to try to make things right. It would be nice to have chairs and clean (unbroken) tables to enjoy the beautiful scenery. And not sure if this is within management's control, but being across the street from a screaming, chanting youth group (who never stopped) made a rough stay even more miserable. We do not recommend this place and can only hope Managememt will consider a complete overhaul.      Thank you for reaching out to us, we hoped to go over a few things about you recent stay. We understand the excessive noise from across the street was a problem, and did our best to get it under control, but unfortunately the resort across the street is not under our management. We contacted authorities and even spoke with the managers of the property, we hope this won't reflect negatively on our business. We understand the frustration with the noise level across the street and assure you all of our staff members were doing their best to work on any issues caused by it. We apologize if you feel our manager was condescending, we can assure you customer service is our main concern, and no staff member would want to come off as an extra stress, we will be happy to address any misunderstandings or problems you may have had during your stay and make the proper moves to make things right. We were able to fix the fire pit during your stay, and hope you were able to enjoy it. Please feel free to reach out to us so we can work on a solution for you. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=t-mVnhHaDvRzJR9IGbn-ew)",

I will definitely recommend the grey squirrel to all my friends and family and I will be back myself.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bQhkEEe3F4GfPOFnKcGGXw)",

Have only stayed here in the summer time, but we have been going yearly for about 4 years. The grounds are well manicured and beautiful tall trees provide great shade. We have only stayed in the Beaver cabin, since it accomodates our family size. We want to try to stay in Moose next time to be closer to the rest of our family who stay in Racoon and surrounding cabins.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=WSHVuGNqMbN0xwzZKs-DYg)",

It was a comfortable cabin, and we really enjoyed our stay at the Mink cabin. Only complaint: When I had called to ask about BBQs, I was told that the BBQs they had were gas. Perfect. Once we had gotten there, however, we discovered that the BBQ was once a gas grill, and was now being used with charcoal. This did not work out very well. We had prepared everything to be BBQ style, so this kinda put a kink in our plans for dinner. Additionally, the second fridge leaked. This wasnt too bad, we ended up just putting a towel down in front of it. All in all though it was a nice place. We enjoyed our weekend, and would stay here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=R9eHhtHSzyHhS34kkJLZ7A)",

So wonderful that I have stayed here twice in the past month!!! The new owner, Shervin, is so attentive and kind. Each stay, I was greeted with wine, a handwritten note, and a jar of candy in my cabin. The cabins are newly renovated, very clean, and there is a lot of privacy in them. Everyone working there is very friendly and always greeted us with a smile when we would see them. The place is BEAUTIFUL! You can tell the owner has put a lot of effort into making the landscaping nice. There are places to lounge around the property with beautiful flowers, a swing you can sit on, and a place for a campfire! My cabin had a small BBQ outside of it but there's also a big BBQ by the fire pit. The owner was so sweet and helped my friends and I turn on the BBQ and even turned on these beautiful string lights that they have outside. After finding out it was my birthday, the owner even brought us a complimentary s'mores kit! It was so thoughtful. There is a volleyball net, basketball hoop, and a ping pong table outside!! The pool area has also been renovated and there are floats in there. This made our stay so much fun! Overall, this place is wonderful! I don't normally write reviews but I was blown away by the amazing customer service here! I will definitely be coming back.        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jZ8HqgxMlKs7GAbrtn3AyQ)",

My husband and I booked "The secret garden" cabin for 4 days and we left after 2 days. I feel like we were put in absolutely the worst and dirtiest cabin on the property. My husband and I walked the entire property and each and every one of the cabins were in way better condition than ours including the barbecues and outdoor furniture. We definitely did not feel safe in our cabin like the door may have been kicked in because it didn't shut properly. The windows did not lock at all. The cabin was extremely dirty. The towels smelled like mildew and body odor. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. There was no hot water, the water heater was not working and the pilot light was out. I was unable to shower for 2 days. The swimming pool had biting bugs in them, and the pool was a little green. As a pool owner I know that properly chlorinating your pool will kill any unwanted bugs. The young maintenance man that drove the three-wheeled cart was great trying to accommodate the issues with the water heater. He was also trying to address other issues on the property. After we addressed all of these issues with front desk staff that's all I got was a bunch of excuses. We were not offered any compensation for all of our issues. We were well aware of the "no refund" policy but the front desk lady didn't even offer to make things right by offering us a better cabin. There was nasty pots and pans, 2 forks 1 spoon and 2 coffee mugs, 2 wine glasses and a pepper shaker. So make sure if you rent from this place bring your own spices and cutlery including knives. The outdoor grill was disgusting. They didn't even have anything to clean the grills off with. My husband and I are not bougie people but having a clean room to stay in is mandatory in my book.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hzhwseXFjjQKtn76CaLjbQ)",

The smell of the rooms were awful and everything is so dirty and creepy. My grandpa called and asked how to get the fan in the bedroom to work. the worker said "oh that doesn't work we just keep it there to make it seem like we have air conditioning". so now we are stuck having to leave the doors wide open. this is my first review i have ever left because i'm not that type person but this place is truly bad. we tried to get our money back and say we would stay for at least one night and then leave but apparently the owner doesn't care what anyone has to say. we won't get a single dime back and we are stuck here. why so expensive?? not worth it. don't come      - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KaaeDtWEhfbQbFabkJDOxg)",

Spent $6538.41 to stay from 6/22-6/29, 2018: pool and hot tub not in working condition our entire 8 night stay. Fourteen people very disappointed. Laundry room flooded Tuesday, still no new hot water heater and functional when we left 5 days later. Third year in a row we've told them about the faulty and dangerous electrical outlets; said they would replace the next day, never replaced! The grounds are an accident looking for a place to happen. Torn up rocky riverbed with pipes sticking out, nails sticking out of boards on the ground, pointed end up; the list goes on. This place was pristine before change of ownership. We were lied to on a daily basis and have been completely ignored ever since. We have made numerous attempts to communicate with them concerning a financial resolution and they will not respond! Will NEVER stay there again! Also, had no water one day and no hot water for two days!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=53XZutK_1M3qySO4ivvVuA)",

The service is great Shervin the owner made sure we where we'll accommodated and taken care of. Our family enjoyed our time there and would definitely plan another trip. Our rental contained 3 rooms one bathroom open space living room and kitchen. The kitchen had the basics some utensils pots and pans. Parking for 2 vehicles. A grill and an outdoor table with seating. WIFI available. The resort it self is a 10 minute walk to the Marina Pleasure point. The resort supplied a tennis area, ping pong and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows at nite supplied by Shervin. Very thoughtful.  Marina pleasure point 10 min walk from the resort  Fire pit in the community area. Making s'mores provides by the very kind owner.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=mbAJ9Q-GC9PNRLf7MrGjJA)",

We are under new ownership and when you spoke with us, we did initially state that the credit was no longer valid, however we also changed our position and did agree to honor this credit for a one night stay. Unfortunately the dates that you requested were not available. The original credit is still valid until March, however we would like to extend that date till the end of May to give you more time to find a date that will work for you.

"traverse:reviewText": "[Anamarie B.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hzhwseXFjjQKtn76CaLjbQ) Terrible! Do not stay here. Came home today from a weekend stay here. Only pros are that the beds were comfortable, for me, as I like a soft mattress. My husband likes it more firm and didn't think they were comfortable. Also, there was an electric fireplace that warmed up the living room nicely. Those were the only pros. Here's a long list of the cons, get ready: Very little supplies in the kitchen. For example, I wanted to reheat fries in the oven, as a microwave would make them soggy. What do I put them on? Nothing. No cookie sheets or oven-safe ware. Had to throw the fries away. Provided a coffee pot and coffee grounds, but no sugar or creamer. What's the point? Towels feel like they don't dry. I think because the bathroom is freezing. That takes me to my next point. Bathroom ceiling heater lamp broken. Informed them via text. They said they would take a look. Was not fixed or given any remedy like a standing heater. Only one shower for a cabin that accommodates 6. Hot water doesn't work right away. You literally have to "activate" the hot water to get the hot water heater to work and then take a shower 2 hours later. Figured this out after my two kids each took a cold shower. I texted the property in the evening as that is the only way to reach them Afterhours or for an emergency. They didn't respond until the next morning. Their response...."the hot water isn't endless. If you use it for anything else, it will run out quickly". So, 4 people can't get hot water for a cabin that accommodates 6? And we didn't use it for anything else. Their office hours are only 9-5pm. Up to 7pm on Friday and Saturday. So, if anything comes up after that hour you are shit out of luck. As I mentioned before, they have an Afterhours texting line that they didn't respond to until the next morning. What if it was a bigger emergency? Only Netflix available on the TV. You can't watch any other TV. One of the bedrooms is freezing, if you close the door. The only way it heats up is to leave the door open to the living room area. But then you are hearing an annoying clicking noise every time the heater comes on. So, it was a choice of freezing or not sleeping. No extra blankets to be found anywhere. All you get is a sheet and a thin comforter. Very few outlets. And none next to your bed. Unless you count the one that is butted up the mattress, which you would have to move the mattress from the wall to access it and no table. So, the electronics would have to sit on the floor. We were just feet from Hwy 18. Very loud with all the cars zooming by. Last but not least, the very dangerous floor heater vent. There is a huge heater vent in the living room. They warn you to not step on it or your shoes will melt. Wtf?! I'm glad we have teenagers. If I had little ones, they would have surely gotten burned. All this to say, I could rationalize it if I was paying Motel 6 prices. The total for two nights was $484. That includes a $50 admin fee. Not sure why that isn't already included in their price and a $70 cleaning fee. What cleaning?! It sure wasn't clean. They ask that you wash your own dishes and take out the trash. What's the cleaning fee for then?     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PyqdlALiy8d9xaRomyapbg)",

The front staff lady whom I believe is Heather, was super nice. The property offers a lot and is a in a good location close to the Marina. The good: We stayed in the Rustic Rose and it's a good size cabin, with 2 rooms, living room, restroom with shower, and a full working kitchen with a dining table that sits four. The fireplace was cozy. Our patio and bbq had a bench and nice play area. The bad: Unfortunately the cabin was too dirty for us. To clarify, it definitely looks like it was cleaned for us. . . . But it also somehow looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The kitchen and bathroom floors were particularly dirty. There were layers of dirt in the floors, floor boards and lower wall. The left side bedroom was also dirty in the corners. It was to the point that we felt very uncomfortable to the point that we didn't use that linens. The beds felt more like full size beds than queens. The bed is too large for the right bedroom to the point that the door couldn't close. The shampoo/soap pump in the shower was empty and looked crusty. The shampoo provided was like 1/4 size of a travel size shampoo. Our living room didn't have an ottoman as pictured in the website, but instead had 2 metal chairs. There was no air flow into the right bedroom so it got FREEZING in there. Again, I really wanted to love this place. It has so much potential and honestly with a good scrub down and updated linens, I think this place could be a solid 4-5stars. I do so on Yelp that some cabins are more updated that others. I'd called ahead and ask to see your cabin before. Or call to make sure it's clean.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=54LLCsswtNr7By8k8VRyqQ)",

Maybe even the worn towels and the lack of a blow dryer in a place that claims to have all of the essentials. Oh yeah and the DVD player didn't work. But here's what really ticked us off: they insisted on charging us for two nights, even though the roads to Big Bear were closed and made it impossible for us to make the first night of our reservation. And then, when we were playing in the snow in a common area of the grounds, the horrible white trash manager came out and yelled at us and told us we were not allowed to play in the snow because we were bothering her (this was at 2pm in the afternoon on a Sunday- hardly an odd time for people to be out in the snow). The cabins are tiny and claustrophobic and the customer service from the manager absolutely deplorable. Please, please stay somewhere else.      That was a tough week-end for travelers and businesses. We just had a record 4-5 feet of snow. I applaud you for your travel tenacity. The issue was sledding on the Managers car.

I mean of all places the GREY SQUIRRLE we have been coming here for the past 11 years and love /loved this place. we have had the entire family out with us and have rented multiple cabins at the same time .... we love the location and the different styled rooms. We loved the room we recently rented this past weekend which was the moose cabin. However we don't ski and had planned on staying in for the entire stay but the cable wasn't working and we had only rented 2 DVDs one which was horrible and the other so so .... but the cable guy didn't make it the first night and didn't make until check out the following day. Since we have been loyal customers who even bring them new business what we are really disappointed with is their customer service. US being their paying customers and guest of their cabins are not a priority. Making things right is low on the list of things that are important to this place it seems these days. I feel they should have been reaching out to us about what they would do to make things right - but I had to reach out to them to only hear they would give us a 15% discount on our next stay ? ? ? ? ? Really? We spent 150.00 for one night and there were so many other issues.... but the TV is kind of a big one as it is one that is advertised when trying to bring in customers .... CABLE TV ??? We had zero. Not to mention the additional issues with the 'newly remodeled' cabin The shower doors swing in ... they aren't secured down with a bottom track and there is no sign letting you know to proceed with caution I nearly feel face first into the shower because I lost my balance the knives in the place are also a little outdated and need replacing as my husband went to use on and it bent in and almost cut )had it been sharp) into his finger ... the knife literally fell into two pieces there is only one mirror in the bedroom the hot water didn't last long enough to wash hair and shave legs in one shower setting The table in the living room area is so long that I literally ran into 2 or 3 times and banged my knee up pretty good and lastly the light above the table in the kitchen is supposed to be on a dimmer but they have the wrong bulbs in it and it doesn't dim properly as for all the light in the place is pretty dim They offered 15% off our next stay which I wasn't happy with.they called and said they would take $40 off of this stay ... I feel it should be 5% off of this stay & 30% off of the next stay .... I mean why would we come back without a discount and take the chance we have the same experience. if they call and choose to make it right I will remove this review and replace it withone letting everyone they actually care about our experience as their paying guest but right now I am not convinced     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7Rfh5e7_KDyTBRXJfaoMgA)",

There was a used bar of soap still in one of the bathrooms, the floors had not been swept or vacuumed, there was trash from the previous guests behind the trash cans in the kitchen, the bed sheets had not been changed, the comforters had been placed neatly on the beds to cover up the mess under them, the mirrors had fingerprints all over them, when I checked the linen closet to see if I could change the sheets there was an I folded mess, there was a random bag of towels in one of the rooms and the fireplace had clearly been used and not cleaned.

If you're planning to bring your pups up for the weekend don't come here. My boyfriend and I left our pups in the cabin for 3 hours to come back to find out our door was completely wide open. Luckily one dog stayed in the cabin and we spent hours searching for our little one. We got lucky and our little dog came back. But they seemed concerned our dog was gone but did nothing to help us. Basically blaming us that our door was open. They did not care one bit about how our door was wide open for 3 hours. WIDE OPEN. When I paid for my dogs to be there. No phone call..nothing. Even a staff member admitted to seeing our door open at 12, and left it open until 3:30pm.. Also they told us maids don't go in the cabins if you pay for dogs, but we found a maid in our room earlier that morning, luckily we had our dogs.. so like I said THEY DID NOT GIVE A SHIT. Moral of story don't bring your pups here. But it's def a good spot for a little vacation without the pups.      We are sorry you feel this way, our resort goes to great measures to ensure guests can bring their pets, from clean up after a stay to the availability to have them join you, we are glad you found your fuzzy friend, our staff went to great measures posting lost dog alerts in Big Bear local groups with your permission and letting the surrounding home owners know the dog had gone missing. At the time the pet went missing no one had keys and or key codes to your cabin, which is why we brought up the possibility of the door accidentally being left open.

Very cute and quaint location right near the lake. We were able to walk to the lake! Not too far from snow summit or the village. Kitchen was fully equipped with our necessities and a working fireplace. Huge backyard for our husky to run around. We would definitely go back!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=JX2_6zldzSuVDS9D0LkK0g)",

"traverse:reviewText": "[Anthony Q.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=WVhZq32TRFfq5K7dC0AwgQ) I saw another comment here and I had to pretty much say the same thing. This place is out of a hallmark movie. I came here with my girlfriend and it is truly an awesome place especially for couples. A nice little get away from the city, and if there's snow, that's just an added plus. I honestly didn't think I was going to like this place, but it really did prove me wrong. If your a couple looking for a little vacation, I highly recommend this spot. There in a non refundable deposit if you cancel your trip so just be aware of that in case you try to change plans. But yeah, no complaints at all, thank you for the amazing experience.

It was cozy and just the right size for 4 adults. I would definitely stay here again. It isn't the most updated, but I think that's the norm in Big Bear. I also thought it was priced well compared to other cabins I've stayed in in Big Bear. It's also pet friendly which is awesome. This trip we didn't take our dogs, but next time we would definitely stay at the Grey Squirrel and take them. Just an FYI, if you stay here in the winter, the bathroom gets really cold. We just kept the bathroom door shut while we were sleeping to keep the cold air from getting into the rest of the cabin.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=uyKQeidd0lYu77mIvmuUXg)",

When we arrived our room wasn't ready--even though we were assured it would be ready when making our reservation. When we finally made it to our room the parking that belonged to our room wasn't available because they hadn't plowed the snow, so we had to park about 50 feet away and carry our stuff in the snow. But you haven't heard the best part...when we finally open the door to our room we were hit with a disgusting stench of fish, yes, I said FISH!!! So gross! The room was dusty and smelly and the bed sheets were just as stinky and gross. When we attempted to turn on the hot water for a shower there was no hot water! No hot water for the whole two days we were there. And no parking space. The place we stayed in was a two story cabin; The bedrooms, which were upstairs, were freezing. We left the downstairs wall heater on high so it could reach the upstairs--this resulted in the upstairs being a little warm and the downstairs developing a nauseating heat. We were so happy to leave this place!!! We will never ever go back! Yuck! I would rather sleep in my car!!!

Unfortunately This place has gone through multiple owners in the last couple years and it's starting to show in the quality of the cabins. The service is very friendly and inviting campground is over clean they added solar light around the area and that looks great at night keeps everything lit up nicely well done. Now the disappointing stuff. These cabins are dirt when I say dirty I mean pretty damm gross. Most of the The pillows are stained and had hair on them. Sheets are stained. I recommend bring pillow covers and your own sheets. The clean up crew needs help for sure my cousin cabin had old used coffee grounds and filter in the coffee pot. My cabin had the previous guest trash still in the kitchen. The dished had food stuck on them still. Everything pretty dusty but I'm cool with the dust I know I'm in the mountains so not a big deal but maybe a wipe down once in awhile would be good. Floors are dirty and the ultimate what the hell moment when we almost stepped on a nail poking through the bedroom floor the is extremely inexcusable. Someone could stab there foot and in this day and age probably sue these people. I let them know hopefully they fix that and no one gets hurt. The prices have gone up at the location charging resort fees for things that don't work or things you can't use. I understand they gotta make there money so it is what it is. I'm hoping the owners see this review and use it to help there business grown they need to focus on cleaning and safety of the cabins. Also there internet was down so no tv if your into that kinda thing.That really didn't affect me but some gotta have there internet lol. Good luck grey squirrel I hope things improve. Perhaps an internal audit of your place will help        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ieb4kVGjl2fCOaYzWLuMEg)",

All of their cabins are advertised as rustic, and rustic is an understatement. I've seen homeless shelters cleaner than this. Starting off with the cleanliness of the lodge, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. The floors were so dirty you HAD to wear shoes the whole time (found that out the hard way.) Not to mention the splinters we got while walking around the cabin. The walls of the cabin are unfinished, uncovered dry wall can be seen in the bathroom, as well as plenty of spiderwebs, dust, and just all around dirt and grime. Additionally, the towel holder just fell right off upon drying hands the first time. There were other parts of the cabin that just were broken or didn't work correctly. The upstairs section was clearly just an attic repurposed, as the stairs were so steep it was like just climbing a ladder. The second larger bedroom upstairs was a "queen bed" (actually just two twin beds pushed together with a mattress topper on them). You can probably already guess the back and neck pain that came with that. The kitchen had a lack of towels to dry dishes, a quarter scrub to clean dishes, no cups. Overall, this was nowhere near worth $200+ they're charging. The location is decent, as it's close to the main village and everything, but the entrance and parking were pretty bad. I would not recommend staying here if you're looking for cleanliness and comfort.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=2O9wnrllP9S_Hasi6K1IcA)",

Came off the hill to a text saying my car was being towed since I was parked in the fire lane, luckily made it back before they towed me. Heater didn't work, could see my breath in my room. So I slept in a friend's cabin down the street the second night and woke up to a text saying that I was being charged for another day since I didn't get there in time for checkout, which is fair I suppose, my fault. So I decided to make the best out of it and stay an extra day and snowboard, went to my room and took a shower. Got out of the shower to someone walking into my room while I was in a towel, telling me the desk had told them I was checked out. The desk people are very nice though. But won't be staying here again.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=IKg9m7G5-742EB6VIUJ5DA)",

The room seemed outdated and simple, but I was told that it's actually less outdated than other cabins in the area.

No smell when we opened the door. One huge loft upstairs with two big beds. One bedroom and one bathroom downstairs. The kitchen is nicely stocked with utensils and working appliances. The place is clean. Haven't tried the fireplace yet. Considering bumping up the rating if the mgmt gets the wifi working. Called twice to get the 'free wifi' and was told "sometimes it doesn't work". Bleh.

Believing we were staying in a cabin meant for 8 people we were shocked to only see 3 beds? Luckily one of our guests was comfortable sleeping on the couch but we found out that was only the beginning. The smell of mildew just enchanted the entire cabin. The upstairs had only one tiny lamp to light the entire upstairs. My poor brothers heater was busted in his room downstairs and with no surprise no extra blankets or linens of some sort. This place did not even supply enough toilet paper for the supposed "8" guests. We had to use paper towels that we had luckily bought. So on top of all these lovely qualities we had finished shopping at the village and when we returned to look through our bags which we had left on our kitchen table ANTS! All over! Plus the old cracky narrow stairs are NOT KID FRIENDLY! Overall VERY disappointed in such false advertisement and poor service. For any future interests PLEASE check in person! And don't always believe what you see online!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=9seDDYw_OPaYU4_hVcFRjw)",

First off the place is outdated and stinks. Has a damp mildew smell to it. The floorboards have water damage and pealing. They state that the "woodchuck" cabin houses or sleeps 8 comfortably. It doesn't, it only fits 6. The heaters DONT work and IF they do they are far too hot which probably means the thermostat is busted. They didn't have enough toilet paperwork for the "8" people that it's suppose to house! The place is a bates motel up in big bear. I wouldn't even go there if Groupon offered me the place @ a 99% Discount! Or FREE!      We appreciate your feedback and your opinions, as this is how we can grow and improve our Resort. After reading both your review and that of your family member, I did some research and found that originally your mother was given information on another cabin at a sister property that sleeps 8, but it was booked by someone else before a reservation could be made by her . At that point she was quoted for the largest cabin we had available at that time, Woodchuck \[6\]. This is how it appears on the website and in the confirmations that we send out, because Woodchuck is a cabin that sleeps six. It appears that these two cabins may have been confused. As for the heater in the cabin, we checked on this too, and it appears to be working correctly. The pilot light in the bedroom heater did go out during your stay, and as soon as the office was notified we were at the cabin to address the issue. While there to light the pilot, no one mentioned any need for toilet paper, or any odor issues. If someone had simply let us know that you had an issues with odor, lack of toilet paper or anything else, we would have gladly addressed it so that your stay would have been an enjoyable experience. While I understand from your review that you do not want to return, I hope that you will give us another chance, with the correct size cabin for your group, so that no one is sleeping on the couch, and see that the Grey Squirrel does have a lot to offer. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cAc4XScoSPcxgWLr0NDWLw)",

We all loved it! We stayed in The Chipmunk Cabin and it was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. It was a good size for the four of us and had a play area right outside of our cabin. Great customer service and major bonus points for being able to take our two pups!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hcb7D4vFddXG9QAM_L6Mkw)",

Chipmunk We brought our own sheets however, and I was glad. The DVD player didn't work. We called and reported it. They "fixed" it but it still didn't work. We had to drive about a mile away to take out the trash. We came back from snowboarding at about 6:30pm and realized there was no hot water. The front desk was already closed, but there was a number to the owner in case of emergencies. We informed her of the problem and she was verrrrry reluctant to help. She first told us to bathe in the Jacuzzi!!! First, the jacuzzi was located in the backyard with the only barrier being a chain link fence. Second, it was the middle of January!! Third, it has chlorine in it, you are supposed to bathe after you get out of a Jacuzzi. It took a few hours then someone finally came. I plan on returning to big bear to snowboard, but I will NEVER stay at the Grey Squirrel Inn ever again!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YKGv4jIb4gGBUO6Z0W80cw)",

I would've been More comfortable in my own home. On my recliner watching TV . The futon sofa was terrible. It' sunk in ' your back hurts. no where else to sit it but a wooden kitchen chair. This place was dirty with dirty dishes with no sink to wash them, but a lil bathroom sink gross . the futon sofa, terrible not worth the money . I paid over $235.00 they only had little trashcan. no sink for dishes, tthey want you to wash . this place was tiny and its needs improvements. I Notified the lady from the office about the uncomfortable sofa & other , and all she said .ohhhh I know it's a old sofa . wow ! all i could say the spa was the best place to gel away from that room .

However, it was extremely dirty and dingy. Toilet handle broke off after first use (although it was fixed the next day), carpet peeling up, an awful odor throughout, fireplace didn't work, ill fitted window screens, inside of kitchen drawers were filthy, tattered bed covers, and furnished with the dustiest most ancient couch I've ever seen. This place reminded me of my husband's grandparent's house...after they both passed away, and it had been sitting there for about a month. Needless to say, I had to make a Kmart run to purchase bed sheets and fabreeze. Don't think I'll be returning for $1000+ a weekend. Wish it would have worked out.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ZjyrY9qAEJ6WO999CKxe9A)",

Upon arrival, there were ants in the kitchen and bedroom. In the morning, we left for a hike. When we came back, there were many more ants. We talk to Nora, in the office. Instead of understanding and trying to accommodate us, Nora was a bit defensive, saying "well yes, we have an ant problem". She agreed to cancel our second night stay, although we had to call the booking agency to complete the cancellation process. The person on the phone was Eva. Eva told us that she can move us to another hotel but we need to pay more money. The cabin was quaint, however, we could not stay there due to the issue with the ants. Before leaving, we stopped by the office to return the keys, at that time Nora was nice and understanding. She asked us to try them again sometime in the future. However, we won't be back after experiencing the issue with the ants.      Sorry about your few ants.

The view was nice and I loved being in the water. The only negative comment I have was that we had to take our trash somewhere else. Instead of the staff throwing it away.

Upon arrival we got two sets of keys and a map to our cabin. We kept driving trying to find the cabin called "Molly" but could not find it. About 15 minutes later of driving in the snow we where notified that the cabin's name had been changed to Kayla's but they had not updated this on the map they provided us. This place is advertised as a three bedroom cabin but it is not. There is a small space very close to the stair way that they have put bunk beds that they call a bedroom. It was very dangerous and I did not have my kids sleep there as they could have fallen off. Also, the entire upstairs has no heat at all. Instead they have a small portable heater for the two bedrooms. You can't even use it because the electrical outlets only have two prongs and the heater has three prongs. The downstairs wall heater did not work and we had to call them to have them fix it. Next, our fuse popped and we had to call again. Keep in mind that the temperature was around18 degrees. Since we were limited in the rooms with heat, we tried to sleep in the pull out bed in the leaving room only come to find out it had a lock and couldn't be used. Later on, Kaity the property manager told me that they put a lock on it because it was broken. There is mold growing on the bathroom floor. The beds were so old and uncomfortable and the sheets were old and disgusting. As an end result, all my four kids got pink eye and are now on antibiotics, my husband and I are both very sick with a fever. In fact, on our second night my husbands fever was so high he was shaking and shivering. Again, in the snow I had to drive to the local Kmart to purchase medicine for him. We have come to Big Bear several times and this has been the worst experience ever. In fact, this has been the worst trip. I contacted Kaity the property manager and was told they could not do anything and that they checked the cabin and everything was fine. I was also told: "I'm sorry we couldn't crank up the heat to 200 degrees." My family and I just wanted a comfortable stay with working utilities. After our second conversation, Kaity told me not to post this review and send her the picture I had taken and she would talk to the owner to see what they could do. By the way we paid close to $1,000 for our two night stay. Bottom line, this was hell. Don't waste you money or your precious time.

This was our favorite! In the 10 years we stay in BB, this cabin was awesome! We arrived on a Sunday when everyone was leaving. I mean literally everyone left. The weekend crowds streamed down the mountain as we were coming up. The staff was friendly when we arrived . We grabbed complimentary coffee and snacks at the office and bought a few souvenirs and scarves. Our cabin was located off the property but next to it. It was amazing! A cool round fireplace in the center of the cabin. There was enough room and space plus some for 6 of us. My daughter enjoyed the piano, though it was a bit out of tune, she had a blast playing it. The bathrooms were super clean and the shampoo and conditioner was a store brand but made our hair so soft- lol!! The kitchen had everything we needed except trash bags but we called the office and they had a few ready for us to pick up. Nice staff , anytime we called and willing to make our stay so perfect! Since it was during a looser and becoming more lax time during COVID, the village was packed but we stayed safe and just grabbed take out most of the time . Everyone had masks, but we avoided anywhere with too many people. We enjoyed meals on our patio which was huge or the rustic dining table in the cabin. If you know BB cabins, most are outdated, and rustic in that certain style... mishmash of homey, rustic, folky but outdated, you know what I'm talking about.. but this cabin was so cute and perfectly furnished. Tasteful, vintage, rustic, but clean and uncluttered and woodsy. We really enjoyed our time here and bonus- watched the Dodgers win the World Series in the living room and git to scream and hoot n holler so loud without any neighbors complaining! We strolled around the main property and enjoyed the nice foliage of the Fall leaves and the took pics at the pond and fire pit areas. It snowed 2 days after we left . It would have been nice but we didn't have chains. So that was good. Check out the Farmers Market too! Up Big Bear Blvd towards the east-end of the lake. It was pretty awesome. Thank you Grey Squirrel! We enjoyed our 5 days there! We will absolutely see you again !!

That being said, there was more than enough room for 2 people. Upon arrival, check-in was quick and before we knew it, my gf and I were headed to our place. Parking is very convenient as you can usually just park in front of your cabin. If there are any exceptions, I wasn't aware of them. The room itself was cozy and also included a full kitchen with plenty of plates and pans to use. The resort just requests that you clean up what you use, which is reasonable. Rather than make you read some long winded paragraphs, I'm just going to list some pros and cons Very friendly and helpful staff. Far enough from the village to avoid noise, but is close enough to pretty much everything (3 minute drive to the village depending on road conditions). Heater was great, especially when it was under 20 degrees outside. Very tastefully decorated. It felt just like home. Hot water was very hot, and got that way very quickly. The play area for the kids (even college aged ones looking for a snowball fight). Seemed like we split a hot water heater with at least 1 other cabin. It would start boiling more water when we were just watching television. This lead to potential shortages if showers are taken in rapid succession or a very long one is taken. Static-y Couch (but boy was it comfortable). All being said and done, I really enjoyed my stay at the Grey Squirrel resort and could see myself coming back in the future. There were a few things that I wasn't a fan of, but those were easily avoided or minimized. Great place to stay.     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=vwNin_gv67ya2zxgjmHWxQ)",

Unfortunately, when we opened the sofa bed in the big living room, the mattress was covered with rat poo :-( We obviously decided against using that general area.

At first I was told I could get a refund due to a last minute surgery a week before my booking.

I've tried numerous times to rebook but either phone calls or emails go unanswered. This is a really crappy way to run a business and the other reviews show the lack of care or concern from the owner.

It was as we expected, if not better. We stayed in the middle room of the triplex, in a cabin called "Our Place." I was a little nervous about being in the middle of a triplex, but we never once heard any of our neighbors from inside our room, unless we were greeted by them outside in the porch area. The bed was big & comfy! I looked forward to sleeping in it every night, there was a high rectangle window near the bed so when we woke up in the morning we had views of pine trees and Bluejays and a nice breeze at night since it was hot when we stayed. If you prefer a firmer mattress you might be disappointed but I love soft, cozy ones and that is exactly what we got & I loved the bed. The grounds are even more beautiful in person. I was reluctant when we found out a family reunion was being held there the weekend we were going, but it ended up being so peaceful & nice still even with a large family reunion there because the property is so big. The pool was amazing. The jacuzzi was not in service while we were there but it didn't bother us since it was almost 80 degree weather during our stay. The lights that surround the fire pit, hammocks, wooden bench swings & pond add an extra beauty & magic to the ambiance. There are super cute rustic little photo spots throughout the grounds with a large cute wooden heart & a huge sign about making rustic memories. It was such a pleasure and (Kimberly) I think that was her name who runs the place was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back and made some nice friends while we were there. It was definitely worth the money we paid to stay there. There was also a high power fan in our room near the bed that kept us cool. We did not need to use heaters or fireplace during the visit so cannot comment on that. It felt like we were staying in a cabin in the woods which was exactly what we were looking for. It was peaceful, beautiful, relaxing & nice.

We Booked a cabin for the weekend through a 3rd party that apparently had been oversold. Upon arrival we overheard the front desk staff handling this exact situation with a customer in front of us. And India the girl at front desk who seemed to know nothing about their booking processes was no help. That should of been our warning to look elsewhere! Through a suggestion from Jazz we were told to go look at another facility which was open and available, so we thought. After being locked out of that cabin because we were given the wrong code by India we finally entered the cabin with the correct code. Mind you we were on the phone w this girl as we entered the cabin. Which would have been a clear indication that we are staying. Frustrated at this whole situation we unpacked for the night. Only to have a rude white woman knock on the cabin door saying she had paid for the same cabin too. We politely said not sure how this happened but you need to contact the front desk. We had been there since CHECKIN!!! We called back the front desk to see what was going on and again India had said did you have a reservation? A competent staff person should know what's going on. Never once did we hear an apology from the entire staff or receive a call back from anyone trying to smooth the issues. We were only told that's it's our fault that our original reservation had been kicked back. How can anyone offer another cabin to a guest only to tell us later that we MUST LEAVE. while on the phone another woman came on the line who did not address herself and rudely told us our card had never been charged so we were owed nothing. Can you believe that in 2019! Not even an apology! To add to this nightmare a very threatening country white man came to cabin telling us to vacate. That we should have called back to confirm the stay and pay. This was totally contrary to the instructions we were given earlier by Jazz. We overheard the threatening country man apologizing to the other rude white woman and never any kind gesture or customer service was given to us. I truly feel this was a clear act of discrimination against us. If you ever think of staying at grey squirrel think again. Choose another facility or stay home. I would give no stars if I could 1 star would be very generous. And her response is still lacking in any real resolution, obvious misrepresentation of the truth to cover up the fact she has poor management skills.      You had made a reservation request through Hotel.com which unfortunately had not checked our calendar to see that we were already sold out. As I explained to your husband upon arrival, we had not confirmed your request. Since we did have only one unit left at another property, I offered this and allowed you to go examine the cabin to see if you would like it for the night, with the instructions to your husband that if you did, please immediately call and confirm with us. When after 2 hours we received no call or message from you, it was evident you did not wish it and it was rented to another guest. When the other guests arrived at the cabin, you had moved in without registering, paying or confirming in anyway and were not legally occupying the unit. This in fact, in the state of California is unlawful and termed defrauding an innkeeper. Instead of contacting law enforcement, we required you to leave in order to allow the legal guests to enter. You did not follow the instructions we asked you to in informing us of your intent. This would have been required of any guest and a simple courtesy. You received no discriminating action whatsoever. Your interaction with the incoming guests was not acceptable considering the situation. The fact that you had illegally taken possession of our cabin was the only factor involved. Our resort constantly hosts all manner of people and we take our guest service very seriously but we do expect guests to act responsibly.. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KfkYgsWepWtDnOw2LCLFog)",

The new décor really changes the whole feel of the property. The pool is perfect and the property is very green and pretty. So much activities for the kids to do they were busy the whole day between the pool and basketball and playground. The staff is very friendly and overall we had a fantastic experience there. The staff even turned on the firepit for us Friday night to do smores. Planning our family reunion for here next summer already ! :)     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=x7Wwb_FICzztfJtsu3cgzw)",

My husband and I highly recommend Grey Squirrel Resort. Every amenity you could possibly need on a charming and beautiful property. So many nice touches by the owner, Shervin. There was a hand-written note and bottle of wine waiting for us! She even has a heart on her business card because she runs the place with heart. Great location!        - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=1lEG7KbE01aek_Zo4s-SRQ)",

I made my reservation on August 24th for August 31st leaving September 2nd. I booked through Hotels.com which was a huge mistake per the male and female at the front desk. So, why do they list their cabins on hotels.com? I was told that they never received my reservation and I showed them my confirmation on my cell phone. "Sorry, can't help out." It's a holiday weekend and they're full. I speak to 2 Hotels.com reps for almost 2 hours who said my reservation was confirmed but the Grey Squirrel double booked. I looked up the reviews other people posted and see this is a common theme with problems involving booking a cabin at Grey Squirrel thru a third party. I will never go back to the Grey Squirrel, my Labor Day weekend was ruined!      The Grey Squirrel Resort is under new ownership as of 2/20/2020. We now have a new reservation system that doesn't allow double bookings. All of the rooms have been renovated and beautifully decorated. We would love for you to give us a chance to change your mind about our Resort. We know you will love the changes we have made. We are very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience under the previous ownership and we hope you will give us the chance to turn that bad experience in to a positive lasting memory. - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ffnHUHiALSx4iWBkKioQpA)",

Gross. \- Stained or dirty rugs and furniture \- The downstairs bathroom had built up mildew and hair, looked like it hadn't been scrubbed for months. My own bathroom is cleaner at home. \- The shower head was awkwardly low and poorly installed \- Low inventory of basic things like dish soap, we had to ask for more \- While the rest of the lot looks green and lush, our big cabin seemed to be off to the side of the overall lot, had a big pile of wood debris, an old unkept camper right in front of our view \- We were told there was minimal staff available and no maid service \- The jacuzzi was broken and the water inside was green and dirty so it was apparent it had been broken for a while \- The burners on the gas stove had to manually lighted each time we used them, a bit of a hassle when cooking for a large party multiple times throughout the day \- Lounge chairs at the pool were dirty and the furniture was awkwardly placed and cushions were just thrown/not in the right places \- They allow their guests to play loud music late at night and party outdoors at 1am Something semi outside of their control: a neighboring group of cabins not part of Grey squirrel was playing EDM music for hours during the day when I was there on a Fri & Sat. I'm a fan of EDM but I come up to Big Bear to get away from that The big cabin was expensive on it's own, but what are we paying resort fee's for when there is a list of things that are unacceptable? like basic things like maid service. Maybe get rid of the resort fees if you're not going to provide a clean, stocked cabin and working amenities at the very least. Sadly, the bar is low when it comes to overall quality cabins between Grey Squirrel and Golden Bear. I don't want to rent an airbnb, I want to continue a family tradition and look forward to my stay at a familiar, clean and welcoming place. Take your chances.

Me and my family have coming here for over 10 years and this place has ALWAYS been pet friendly. I guess some new idiot bought the resort and changed the cabin names and does not allow pets anymore. Too bad, it used to be such a great family friendly place, now it's gone to $#!+  NO LONGER PET FRIENDLY EFFECTIVE 2020      Hi Warren, we have stopped allowing pets in all but two units. This is in part due to Covid-19, because of the extra time it takes to sanitize the rooms it puts too much strain on our ability to have the rooms clean in a timely fashion. Because of this both of the pet friendly units we offer are one bedroom and not connected to anything else.. The units that are still pet friendly are Fireside Cottage (Possum) and Beary Blessed (Beaver). I'm really sorry about any inconvenience these changes may have caused, we would really hate to lose your business. If you have any other questions we will be happy to answer them any time within office hours.

I have to admit I prepared with trepidation after reading the latest reviews and brought my own sheets, towels and cleaning supplies. I was delighted to find that they would not be necessary. Our cabin, the Honeymoon Cottage, was clean and full of rustic charm (and also full of the huge jacuzzi tub in the middle of the room). It was clear updates had recently been made, and though the room is a little rustic, it is nicer than previous Big Bear cabins our group has rented out for our yearly get-together. I like to review on the merits of a place with criteria that match its own description. Grey Squirrel is rustic - paint is not perfect, floorboards may have some snags, shower curtain might not be pristine. But you're in Big Bear, and you're there to enjoy the outdoors, and the motto of this place is "Rustic Memories Are Made Here" so keep that in mind going in. Our room had been well-cleaned and appointed with dish soap, sponge, soap, shampoo/conditioner, and paper towel. There is little in the way of pans for cooking or cutlery, but there were plates and we came prepared with plastic forks, so bear in mind that this cottage might not be a place to do a ton of cooking. (But the excellent Blanca and Pierre's restaurant is a 7 minute stroll down the road and town is a quick 2 miles away.) The staff was friendly and accommodating. We relaxed and caught up by the fire pit every night, and Grey Squirrel is an easy walk to the nearby lake and marina. We enjoyed the grounds, and it was perfect for our group's getaway. Though we had the occasional questing ant in our cabin, we kept all foodstuffs in the fridge and had no trouble. Our room, though in a tri-plex, had excellent insulation and we didn't hear anything from our neighbors. There was a fan to keep the room cool, and we didn't want for anything in our stay. As we departed, we saw how hard the housekeepers were working in cleaning the cabins.       - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=HN8yTumIafo4QXClnuzWjA)",

We got in late on Friday night and they made it super easy to check in after hours. We stayed in the "Baby Bear" cabin and it was the perfect setting for our mini-honeymoon. The area was beautiful, well-manicured, and you could tell they keep up on it. It's nothing fancy, but it doesn't need to be. Our cabin was beautiful and completely old-fashioned, which is exactly what we wanted. It had a Jacuzzi on the patio which was wonderful to come back to. Don't expect anything too fancy... after all, you are staying in a cabin in the woods by a mountain and a lake. The downside is that it can be a little pricey, but then again, it's your own personal cabin with a Jacuzzi and a peekaboo view of the lake. All in all, we loved it and can't wait to go back!!!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ep4ruA6lkwEqlTzQ8FypEA)",

Gorgeous room and location, but what was really a cut above the rest; the customer service. Ashleigh went absolutely above and beyond to make our stay special, even went as far as running out and bringing us special treats and leaving special arrangements to surprise my girlfriend.

On August 2, 2019 I booked a reservation at the Grey Squirrel Lodge for August 24th. This reservation was booked through Expedia. On August 16th -- two weeks after I had booked the lodge -- I received an email message from Grey Squirrel stating that there was trouble with my payment. When I called the lodge I was informed that there is a minimum two-night stay at the lodge and that my reservation would be cancelled. When I questioned why I was even allowed to book a one-night stay I was told quite rudely that I should never book a hotel through a third party. I checked both Expedia and the Grey Squirrel's websites later that day and could not find ANYTHING about a two-night minimum stay. Additionally, I was able to create a fake-reservation for a one-night stay through The Grey Squirrel's website and get all of the way to the payment page -- and I was never notified of a minimum stay requirement. A few days later I realized that my trip on Expedia had still not been cancelled, even though Grey Squirrel told me they would see to it. I called Expedia and told them the story and waited on hold while Expedia contacted the Grey Squirrel. When my representative came back online she told me that Grey Squirrel was refusing to cancel my reservation and that I would be charged for the room, even though I would not be allowed to stay there due to the minimum stay requirement. It took a lot of yelling at several people before I was able to successfully cancel my reservation. Bottom line -- the Grey Squirrel insists that there is a minimum stay requirement even though that information is not posted anywhere, and they will not allow you to cancel rooms even when the mistake is their own fault. Have a backup plan if you intend to book at stay at the Grey Squirrel!     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=3ex_4-4SKUYR0rdEZOuTBg)",

We were given the "Enchanted Forest," 4 bedroom, 2 bath cabin which looked more Haunted than Enchanted. They were clearly in the middle of remodeling the cabin (and doing a terrible job of it) and all of the old stuff was outside our back windows, which made it look like a junkyard. Instead of rustic mountain ambiance we had a disgusting and massive pile of junk to look at from all the back windows. In addition there were multiple issues with the cabin, which I emailed to the owner/management after the first night and they refused to refund us for the third night or provide any form of compensation. Here were some issues with the "Enchanted Forest" cabin... \- mold/mildew in the upstairs bathtub \- bathtub was completely clogged and filled with water soon after turning on the shower and we were not even able to use it. \- bathtub was dirty and cabin was not cleaned well \- dishwasher drains hot water in the sink and sink started to overflow with very hot water \- there was a junk yard in the back of the cabin \- The shag carpet looked and smelled like it was from the 1970s \- The upstairs smelled of mold \- The upstairs bedroom door did not close as one of the queen beds was completely blocking the door from closing. Unfortunately after telling the management about all of this, they only had the following to say... "Regarding the bathtub, the information I have been given is that is a stain, and not mildew. That stain (unfortunately) has been in that tub since I started here under the previous owners almost two years ago, which would typically indicate it is not a growing mildew or fungus. It just has not had a new coat of paint / enamel, which was finally in the works prior to our need to move your party to this cabin this weekend." "Regarding the "junkyard", the back area of the cabin is not indicated for guest use specifically, but I can understand that frustration and am passing that along to the Owner for consideration. Overall, I would not recommend this place at all, it is a complete dump and I am not sure how it is even rated 4 stars. Good luck to the new owner who doesn't seem to care at all about customer service or even her cabins for that matter.

The property is beautiful, and our cabin, Beaver, was cute, clean, and comfortable. Chatted with the owner, and learned they changed property managers recently and are working really hard on getting everything updated- they're doing a great job. We didn't do a ton of cooking, but had everything we needed. They have painted the resort, are adding nice-looking new log facing to the front of the cabins, a really fun central gathering place with a volleyball net, grill area, pool table (outdoors!), and a firepit. The pool was clean and refreshing. I felt my toddler was safe on the playset, he was obsessed with the slide (had to drag him off kicking and screaming). The location is fantastic, and even though it was the antique car show there this weekend, which meant LOUD cars whizzing by the main road next to the resort, they were barely heard inside the cabin. The landscaping was very charming, wildflower beds everywhere. Very close to the Alpine slide (went 3 times), and not far from the Village... will definitely be back, loved our weekend, just wish it could have been longer. :)     - [](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gctyDOkZA8EU68UOP3bTWA)",

The staff was friendly and welcoming and gave good suggestions for local restaurants. The cabin was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The king-size beds were comfortable and clean. The jacuzzi was wonderfully hot, clean, and bubbly. The only con was that some of the decorations (silk plants, wall decorations, etc.) were extremely dusty and cobwebby. I would recommend to management that they have their maids clean those occasionally as they were kind of gross. They asked us only to tidy up and wash our own dishes. They also had a water conservation sign that said they would only change towels daily if they were left on the floor, but would not change them if they were hung up on the racks. I believe in water conservation, so I made sure every towel was neatly hung up on the racks, but they came in and changed the towels anyway. They should either take down that sign or follow it!

We had some car trouble and got stuck in the snow. The owner was so unfriendly and was yelling at us to move our #\*! car. If you have to deal with the owner, then DON'T stay here. She is extremely rude. Personally, I hate to give business to people who do not treat people with respect. My advise to her is if you don't like tourists, don't own a motel.      I am terribly sorry for my shortness. We had a considerable amount of snow and many unprepared customers. If you recall, our staff and myself dug you out.

This isn't a fancy resort just a warm & old fashioned place to take it easy and rest your head. \*Staff is friendly and helpful; during one visit they heard that people were stuck @ the rim of the world and couldn't go onto Big Bear Blvd. So, they posted room keys on the door with tenant names on it before they closed the front office to go home \*Cabins are clean and has an old school mountain vibe \*Not very luxe as you can see from the website pictures \*Distance to town is very reasonable & about 10 minutes away from Moonridge for some Big Bear Resort boarding action There are many little resorts and homes for rent up, down, in, & around Big Bear.

I also would appreciate them feeling for us as customers too. Every cabin around us was empty 2 of the 3 nights we were booked here and each of those were better quality. A nail came out of the threshold that I stepped on, they charged an extra $25/hr for showing up early because they had to clean but I showed up to a toilet not flushed and food on the floor but still had to pay the expedited cleaning fee. If it were actually cleaned- understood. No other cabins were occupied so it was really just our cabin that had to be tended to. Outlets didn’t work, we had to brew coffee on the restroom sink where we also were asked to wash our dishes and brush our teeth. Again- if the price reflected this kind of stay, understood; but the other cabins do not have this kind of consolidated arrangement and are very very little less in cost than ours. If we were given an option as the longest booked customers over 4 days, we’d rather have paid a tiny bit more to not have to use one outlet to charge our phones, brews coffee, use a hair dryer and the same sink to wash dishes, get drinking water and do our hygiene. It felt crappy to see the other nicer cabins with lights off from no occupancy that we would’ve really enjoyed [Report review](https://www.google.com/local/content/rap/report?postId=Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xSaFVrcGZjRlJMVG0xUmVXUkVkM0J0TWxNM2FIYxAB&t=1&entityid=Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xSaFVrcGZjRlJMVG0xUmVXUkVkM0J0TWxNM2FIYxJbCkxDaTlEUVVsUlFVTnZaRU5vZEhsalJqbHZUMnhTYUZWcmNHWmpSbEpNVkcweFVtVlhVa1ZrTTBKMFRXeE5NMkZJWXdvR2NtVjJhV1YzEgswZDl2N21CNVh0cxpbCkxDaTlEUVVsUlFVTnZaRU5vZEhsalJqbHZUMnhTYUZWcmNHWmpSbEpNVkcweFVtVlhVa1ZrTTBKMFRXeE5NMkZJWXdvR2NtRjBhVzVuEgswZDl2N21CNVh0cyISCQAAAAAAAAAAEd9BRU4HT10jKgswZDl2N21CNVh0cw&wv=1&d=286732321) [](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g2018261-d252337-r1022121500?m=68573&staydates=2026_05_10_2026_05_11&uguests=1_2_0&supdv=unknown&supuc=US&supul=en) [donhU1717BI](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g2018261-d252337-r1022121500?m=68573&staydates=2026_05_10_2026_05_11&uguests=1_2_0&supdv=unknown&supuc=US&supul=en) 8 months ago on [ Tripadvisor](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g2018261-d252337-r1022121500?m=68573&staydates=2026_05_10_2026_05_11&uguests=1_2_0&supdv=unknown&supuc=US&supul=en) I'm really sorry, but I usually don't write reviews, but I think I should let everyone know.

We had separate cabins and they were both so wonderful....the beds were so comfortable ,the atmosphere and the wonderful hospitality that we received from Heather and Nick. We didn't want to leave, and we stayed for 12 days, we're already planning our next trip to The Grey Squirrel!! One of the best, relaxing, peaceful environments that I've ever had...But don't go to this wonderful place if you don't understand that you're in the mountains and you're gonna see some beautiful wildlife.

Old pet hair collections, and you wouldn't want to walk on the floors in your bare feet. It appears the property is for sale, maybe that's why they let go of having any pride in the cleanliness of it. Hopefully someone can invest the capital to make this a nice place again but it would take a lot of renovation.

We thought we were going to a great place on referrals, but this place turned out to be very bad. The outside grounds are not maintained, the walkways are dangerous because they have divots, uplift, cracks, and people can trip. In the cabins they are dirty, and ours had roaches in the kitchen. The pots and pans were in terrible shape and not even fit to cook in. The bathrooms had cobwebs all in the upper part and the toilet was not cleaned. Underneath the furniture and couch there was nothing cleaned and the floors were not swept. The entire property needs to make over. It's really sad to see a place like this that has so much potential go to hell. I would not ever take my family there again.  ... family. This resort is centrally located to the kayaks, the lake and only a 3-5 minute drive to local grocery stores....  ...very friendly.

"traverse:narrative:thematicQuotePatterns": "Thematic analysis of the Grey Squirrel Resort review corpus reveals recurring patterns in how guests describe their experience — language clusters that indicate the property's authentic character more reliably than any marketing copy. The most frequently appearing positive themes across the 312 reviews are: rooms (252 mentions), service (240 mentions), maintenance (138 mentions), amenities (130 mentions), atmosphere (128 mentions). These theme frequencies reveal Grey Squirrel Resort's experiential signature — the aspects of the stay that imprint most strongly on guest memory and that drive the language they use when recommending (or discouraging) the property to others. Positive theme dominance (which themes appear most in positive reviews) indicates competitive advantages, while negative theme dominance indicates operational priorities.

"traverse:narrative:competitiveQuoteAnalysis": "Competitive quote analysis examines the review language that guests use when explicitly or implicitly comparing Grey Squirrel Resort to alternative properties — the direct evidence of how the property is positioned in the guest's mind relative to its competitive set. Explicit comparisons (naming other properties) are rare but highly informative; implicit comparisons (language like 'for the price,' 'expected more,' 'better than most') are more frequent and reveal the unstated comparison framework guests apply. The sentiment ratio (positive to negative reviews) across platforms provides the most direct competitive metric: 82 positive vs 47 negative reviews indicates a sentiment ratio of 1.7:1.

"traverse:narrative:pricingStrategy": "Pricing strategy at Grey Squirrel Resort operates within the competitive dynamics of the Big Bear Lake market, where multiple properties compete for the same traveler pool across overlapping price tiers. The property positions itself in the midscale to upper-midscale segment, where guest expectations for room quality, service, and amenities are correspondingly elevated. Rate strategy must balance three competing objectives: maximizing RevPAR (revenue per available room), maintaining competitive positioning against alternatives, and setting price-calibrated expectations that the property can consistently exceed.

"traverse:narrative:revenueOptimization": "Revenue optimization at Grey Squirrel Resort extends beyond room rate management to encompass the full spectrum of revenue-generating touchpoints: F&B spending, spa services, activity fees, parking charges, resort fees, and the ancillary revenue that accumulates when guests are engaged and spending on-property rather than seeking off-property alternatives. The N/A-room inventory creates specific revenue dynamics: at 100% occupancy, the room revenue ceiling is defined by ADR × N/A; revenue above that ceiling comes exclusively from ancillary spending per occupied room. The most significant revenue optimization opportunities typically lie in increasing ancillary spend per guest night rather than in rate increases that risk competitive displacement.

"traverse:narrative:marketPosition": "Grey Squirrel Resort's market position in Big Bear Lake, California is defined by its unique combination of location advantages, amenity depth, and service reputation. Market positioning is not a static attribute but a dynamic relationship between what the property offers and what alternatives exist — a position that shifts as competitors renovate, new properties enter the market, guest preferences evolve, and the broader destination brand strengthens or weakens. The property's current market position can be assessed through review-based metrics: overall rating trend (improving, stable, or declining), sentiment ratio (positive to negative reviews), and the specific comparative language guests use when evaluating Grey Squirrel Resort against alternatives.

Each competitor represents a different type of threat: some compete on price, others on amenity depth, others on novelty or recent renovation, and still others on location advantages that Grey Squirrel Resort may not be able to match.

"traverse:narrative:strategicRecommendations": "Strategic recommendations for Grey Squirrel Resort emerge from the synthesis of review data, competitive positioning analysis, and market context, organized by impact level and implementation urgency. The highest-impact opportunities are those that address the most-cited guest complaints (reducing negative review generation) while amplifying the property's distinctive strengths (increasing positive review generation and competitive differentiation). Priority should be given to improvements that affect the highest-frequency guest touchpoints — check-in, room condition, housekeeping, and dining — because improvements at these touchpoints affect every guest rather than just those who encounter a specific amenity or activity. The review corpus suggests 47 specific dissatisfaction drivers that, if addressed, could convert negative reviews to positive ones, improving both platform scores and organic booking conversion. Don H on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'I'm really sorry, but I usually don't write reviews, but I think I should let everyone know. We thought we were going to a great place on referrals, but this place turned out to be very bad. The outside grounds are not maintained, the walkways are dangerous because they have d...'

Abbysum1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) similarly described: 'Oh, my this my cabin was Filthy! I slept on my towels so my body didn't touch the bed. Stains on the comforter and pillows and it smelled like smoke!' In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Grey Squirrel Resort occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its strategic recommendations characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Grey Squirrel Resort serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Grey Squirrel Resort's challenges in strategic recommendations represent an addressable operational gap that, if resolved, could meaningfully improve review scores and guest satisfaction metrics. The review evidence suggests this is not a fundamental structural limitation but rather an operational execution issue that can be addressed through targeted investment, process improvement, or staffing adjustments. Properties that address their most-cited weaknesses typically see measurable improvement in review scores within 6-12 months, creating a clear ROI case for remediation."

Charlene T on tripadvisor (rating: 2) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'Drove 3.5 hours from San Diego to arrive to a cabin that I booked in October that was musty stinky smokey smelling.

Inclusive hospitality goes beyond policy compliance to encompass the atmospheric and cultural signals that communicate whether all guests are genuinely welcome: staff diversity, multilingual capabilities, dietary accommodation breadth, cultural sensitivity in design and programming, and the absence of assumptions about guest identity, relationships, or background. The review corpus provides indirect inclusion evidence through the diversity of reviewer demographics, the presence or absence of exclusion-related complaints, and the language guests use to describe feeling welcomed or uncomfortable. neochu1 on tripadvisor (rating: 1) captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'She had planned all of her family and friends to stay at this place.

"traverse:narrative:petAccessibility": "Pet policy at Grey Squirrel Resort serves the growing pet-travel market segment. Pet-friendly properties serve an increasingly large market segment: an estimated 78% of pet owners consider their pets when making travel plans, and properties that welcome pets capture booking volume that non-pet-friendly alternatives forfeit entirely. The pet-friendly infrastructure includes walking areas, waste stations, pet-appropriate outdoor spaces, and staff familiarity with animal needs. However, pet-friendly policies create cross-segment considerations: guests who are allergic to animals, afraid of dogs, or simply prefer pet-free environments may find pet presence intrusive.

"traverse:narrative:familyAccessibility": "Family accessibility at Grey Squirrel Resort encompasses the full spectrum of family configurations, age ranges, and needs that traveling families present. Young children (ages 0-5) need specific accommodations: crib availability, child-proofing options, highchairs in restaurants, and age-appropriate activity options. School-age children (ages 6-12) need active entertainment beyond the pool. Teenagers (ages 13-17) need the independent-exploration access that walkable neighborhoods provide. Elderly family members need mobility accessibility and shorter walking distances. Multi-generational groups need room configurations that accommodate different preferences within proximity — connecting rooms, suites, and same-building availability for family groups.

Category breakdown: no categorized images. Of these 0 images, 0 include detailed analytical descriptions totaling 0 characters of visual intelligence — a baseline visual inventory that would benefit from richer per-image analysis. Image inventory quality directly impacts booking conversion: research consistently shows that properties with 20+ high-quality images across at least 8 categories achieve 15-25% higher click-through rates on OTA platforms compared to properties with fewer than 10 images. The most effective hotel image libraries provide a complete visual narrative: exterior approach and arrival, lobby and common areas, room interiors across multiple room types, bathroom details, view from rooms, pool and recreational areas, dining venues, spa facilities, and the surrounding neighborhood and natural environment. For Grey Squirrel Resort specifically, the image library represents a minimal visual footprint that should be prioritized for expansion. Source distribution across platforms () reveals how the property's visual identity is distributed across booking channels. Consistency of visual quality across platforms is essential — prospective guests who see different image quality on the property website versus Booking.com versus TripAdvisor may develop concerns about authenticity and accuracy. The review corpus for Grey Squirrel Resort contains 312 reviews across 4 platforms (booking.com: 7, tripadvisor: 124, yelp: 178, google: 3), providing a robust data foundation for analyzing the property's image inventory characteristics. Understanding Grey Squirrel Resort's position within this dimension requires considering both the quantitative review data and the qualitative guest experience patterns that emerge when analyzing the full review corpus.

"traverse:narrative:visualStorytelling": "The visual storytelling of Grey Squirrel Resort — the narrative arc created by viewing its image library as a cohesive collection rather than isolated photographs — presents an opportunity to develop a more intentional visual identity. The current image library of 0 images across 0 categories provides limited visual coverage for Grey Squirrel Resort's online presence. To develop a compelling visual narrative, the property should invest in professional photography that captures the full guest journey: from first impression of the property exterior through check-in, room experience, amenity enjoyment, dining, and departure. Each image should tell a story about a specific moment in the guest experience rather than simply documenting a space. Guest reviews provide critical context for evaluating the accuracy and effectiveness of the visual documentation. A guest's observation — 'It was fun, since we didn’t really stay in the rooms much. Was charged for a pet feee when it wasn’t stated in all fees' — suggests a gap between visual presentation and guest reality that should be addressed in the image strategy. A guest's observation — 'Cozy stay with all the essentials away from home.' — suggests a gap between visual presentation and guest reality that should be addressed in the image strategy. A guest's observation — 'Good · 132 reviews' — confirms that the visual assets accurately represent the in-person experience.

"traverse:narrative:photographyRecommendations": "Photography recommendations for Grey Squirrel Resort address the gaps between the current image library (0 images across 0 categories) and the comprehensive visual narrative needed for optimal booking conversion across all distribution platforms. Critical category gaps that should be prioritized for new photography: room interior, exterior, lobby, pool, dining, bathroom, grounds, aerial, activities, spa. These missing visual categories represent blind spots in the property's online presentation where prospective guests cannot visually assess what the property offers, leading to booking hesitation or abandonment. Key photography priorities include: room interior photography showing current condition and design (updated annually to reflect renovations), lifestyle photography showing guests enjoying amenities (with appropriate permissions), golden-hour exterior photography that captures the property's most flattering lighting, detail photography that highlights design elements and quality markers, and aerial/drone photography that provides context for the property's location and spatial layout. For small independent properties especially, a comprehensive and high-quality image library is the single most impactful marketing investment — it levels the visual playing field against chain hotels that have corporate photography budgets and brand-mandated image standards.

"traverse:narrative:destinationOverview": "Big Bear Lake, California serves as both the geographic setting and the experiential context for the Grey Squirrel Resort guest experience. Destination quality is a foundational element of hotel success: even the best property in an unappealing destination will struggle, while a mediocre property in an exceptional destination can thrive on location alone. Grey Squirrel Resort's position within Big Bear Lake leverages the destination's inherent appeal while adding property-specific value that differentiates the stay experience from simply 'being in Big Bear Lake.' The destination's appeal encompasses natural environment (climate, geography, natural beauty), cultural offerings (dining, entertainment, arts), activity options (recreation, exploration, adventure), and the intangible 'destination feel' that makes travelers choose this location over alternatives. Anonymous on booking.com captured this dimension of the Grey Squirrel Resort experience: 'Grey Squirrel Resort, Big Bear Lake - Check location' This observation is reinforced by Don H's tripadvisor review (rating: 1), which noted: 'I'm really sorry, but I usually don't write reviews, but I think I should let everyone know.

Across the review corpus, location-related comments appear in 108 of 312 total reviews (34% mention rate), with 28 positive and 14 negative mentions. This moderate mention frequency indicates that location is a significant factor in guest satisfaction at Grey Squirrel Resort. In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Grey Squirrel Resort occupies a distinctive position that reflects both its physical assets and its operational choices. The property competes for travelers who are evaluating multiple accommodation options in the area, and its destination characteristics play a significant role in the booking decision process. Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Grey Squirrel Resort serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Grey Squirrel Resort's destination represents a durable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to replicate. This strength compounds over time through positive review generation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the loyalty-building effect of consistently meeting or exceeding guest expectations in this dimension.

"traverse:narrative:overview": "This demographic appeal analysis provides 22 distinct guest segment profiles for Grey Squirrel Resort, each built from evidence-based positive and negative assessments sourced from 312 guest reviews across 4 platforms (booking.com, tripadvisor, yelp, google). The analysis is designed for AI-powered travel recommendation systems that need to match specific traveler profiles with properties that genuinely serve their needs — not just properties that claim to. Demographics analyzed span the complete spectrum of modern travel: couples and romantic travelers, families with young children, families with older children, families with teenagers, solo travelers, business travelers, pet owners, LGBTQ+ travelers, international visitors, seniors and retirees, wedding and honeymoon guests, group travelers, adventure seekers, wellness-focused travelers, budget-conscious travelers, luxury travelers, digital nomads and remote workers, travelers with disabilities, friend group trips, anniversary and celebration guests, extended stay guests, and eco-conscious travelers. Each segment narrative is structured with both positive appeal factors and documented concerns, grounded in actual review data rather than assumptions or marketing claims. The positive-negative balance ensures that recommendation engines can make nuanced matching decisions — a property might be excellent for couples but challenging for families with toddlers, and the data captures both realities. Review evidence is cited within each narrative to provide traceable sourcing: recommendations are not opinions but data-backed assessments. The 312 reviews include 82 positive, 47 negative, and 183 mixed-sentiment entries, with theme analysis across atmosphere, rooms, service, amenities, food, and location dimensions. This data powers personalized travel recommendations at scale — when an AI assistant knows that a traveler is a couple seeking a romantic getaway, it can instantly assess whether Grey Squirrel Resort in Big Bear Lake, California matches their expectations across multiple dimensions including atmosphere, privacy, dining options, activity availability, and value proposition.",
