Olivia on booking.com captured this dimension of the Sleepy Forest Cottages experience: 'Kitchen, cozy, furnishings were in perfect condition. Quiet area.

Quiet lication.' Additional evidence comes from Vachagan (booking.com): 'Our stay at Sleepy Forest Cottages was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The fireplace created such a warm atmosphere, and the in-room jacuzzi was a fantastic bonus that made...' Robert on booking.com similarly described: 'Very clean and cozy comfortable bed and quiet good location plan on coming back in the winter and stay a few days and if there r any openings I will stay at sleepy forest cottages again' Anonymous on booking.com similarly described: 'Relaxing, quiet and just what we needed.' Across the review corpus, atmosphere-related comments appear in 298 of 592 total reviews (50% mention rate), with 77 positive and 9 negative mentions. This high mention frequency indicates that atmosphere is a primary factor in guest satisfaction at Sleepy Forest Cottages. In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Sleepy Forest Cottages 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 Sleepy Forest Cottages serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Sleepy Forest Cottages'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 Sleepy Forest Cottages offers. The Sleepy Forest Cottages experience is fundamentally defined by the intersection of its physical environment, service culture, and location advantages. Guests don't choose Sleepy Forest Cottages 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": "Sleepy Forest Cottages is not a budget accommodation, not a generic chain hotel, and not a property that attempts to be everything to everyone. Understanding what Sleepy Forest Cottages 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 Sleepy Forest Cottages 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.  Nick C. on yelp (rating: 3) captured this dimension of the Sleepy Forest Cottages experience: '[Nick C.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_5IirRPPnEl2NvrTUmMgKw) Wow I don't like leaving bad reviews I feel that most bad reviews are vindictive. This place is cute and quiet but here comes the issues. The bed is like sleeping on a cement slab.'

Understanding this competitive context is essential for evaluating how Sleepy Forest Cottages serves its target market and where opportunities exist for enhanced positioning. From a strategic perspective, Sleepy Forest Cottages'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.  Natasha on booking.com captured this dimension of the Sleepy Forest Cottages experience: 'Very clean and we love the fireplace and the bathtub' This observation is reinforced by Olivia's booking.com review, which noted: 'And staff roaming actions keeping grounds clean.'

  "traverse:narrative:transformationStory": "Sleepy Forest Cottages's evolution reflects the ongoing tension between preserving the property's established character and meeting contemporary guest expectations. Every hotel undergoes continuous transformation through renovation cycles, management changes, market repositioning, and the gradual accumulation of operational refinements that collectively reshape the guest experience over time. The most successful transformations maintain the property's authentic core identity while upgrading the execution quality to meet evolving guest standards for comfort, technology, and design.

  "traverse:narrative:competitiveDisplacement": "In the Big Bear Lake, California market, Sleepy Forest Cottages occupies a specific competitive position  among the area's accommodation alternatives. Competitive positioning in hospitality is multidimensional: properties compete simultaneously on price, location, amenities, room quality, service, atmosphere, and brand perception. Sleepy Forest Cottages's competitive displacement strategy — the specific combination of attributes that causes guests to choose it over alternatives — is revealed through both positive reviews (what guests chose this property FOR) and negative reviews (where the property fails to meet expectations set by competitive alternatives).  Natasha on booking.com captured this dimension of the Sleepy Forest Cottages experience: 'Very clean and we love the fireplace and the bathtub' This observation is reinforced by Olivia's booking.com review, which noted: 'Kitchen, cozy, furnishings were in perfect condition.

  "traverse:narrative:brandLoyaltySignals": "Brand loyalty at Sleepy Forest Cottages manifests through specific behavioral and linguistic signals in the review corpus that indicate emotional attachment beyond rational hotel selection. True loyalty — the kind that drives repeat bookings, direct booking behavior, and organic word-of-mouth advocacy — emerges when a property delivers an experience that guests cannot replicate elsewhere. Within the review corpus, 272 reviews contain explicit return-intent or repeat-visit language, suggesting a loyalty rate of 45% among reviewing guests.  Robert on booking.com captured this dimension of the Sleepy Forest Cottages experience: 'Very clean and cozy comfortable bed and quiet good location plan on coming back in the winter and stay a few days and if there r any openings I will stay at sleepy forest cottages again' This observation is reinforced by Anonymous's booking.com review, which noted: 'We will return.'

      "traverse:reviewText": "[Nan A.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4sximMXa4HkXyZtmwIlyFQ) Honestly I couldn't give this place a solid 5. The other reviews raved about service of the staff but I didn't experience this exceptional service. It seemed on average. I was greeted in the office. Checked in, given a key and showed on a cute map where my cottage/cabin is. That's it. Nothing extra of explaining the area or the fact you can rent movies. Just here's your key, this is where you go and bye. The cottage was cute. I loved it. The jacuzzi tub was nice except it didn't work properly. We couldn't stop the jets when we wanted to. But after continually fooling around with the one button, they stopped. I liked the fact there was cutlery and dishes available in the room among other kitchen gadgets. The fireplace was on a timer which was nice but that was my only experience with a fireplace in a room. So what do I know? It was nice the tv is a smart tv. That way if you want to watch a movie or something you can sign into one of your streaming accounts. BUT wifi here was not great so streaming did not work properly. Unlike a traditional hotel, you can open the windows which was very nice. The fresh air felt nice and kept the room cool. The cabin is located very close to the road but I didn't hear too much of any road noise. I want to add that check in is at 4p but they say they can't guarantee that but a 5p is most likely. You can call the morning of your arrival for an early check in. I see no problem with that on off season honestly. Big Bear Lake in general seems empty during summer. And this place during my stay, I only say one other couple. Overall, I would stay here again but I just can't give it a solid 5 because it wasn't exceptional. But the nice touches of dishes/cutlery, BBQ grills, picnic tables, jacuzzi tub were genuinely nice. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Bobbi M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/3Yx4erMc98YVTPMpN9GYmg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=NPNPaYlI9XsEidwtqai1Tw)",

Those days are gone now. Whole different ballgame. The cabin lacked a few things I noticed the floor by the jacuzzi was coming apart and had splintered. I was walking barefoot and felt a jab. Not good. The kitchen was advertised as fully equipped. It lacked decent pots and pans. No casserole dishes or leftover containers. A few old pieces of silverware. That's it. We decided to go out and make salad and sandwiches. It's all we could do. The bed was rock hard. Almost painful to sleep in. Otherwise the staff was wonderful. They offered clean towels daily and emptied our trash. The cabin was clean and had a nice cedar scent of freshly mopped floor. I know it was Labor Day weekend and the prices were a little steep. Next time we need to go between Sunday and Thursday. That is hard to do since time off from work wasn't doable. So we splurged a little for some peace and quiet. Well worth it. Awesome views of the trees and birds. Even saw one squirrel. Yes we will return someday. One suggestion there was hardly any outdoor lighting. We forgot our flashlight. I think a idea would be to put some lights in the planters or something. Not to safe and definitely worth looking into. I forgot to mention we stayed in cabin #1 ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) We stayed at the Red House number 403. Here's the scoop. It's a rustic somewhat dated home. We saw photos on internet but when we arrived it was a little different. The kitchen was supposed to be fully stocked. Not so. There was no colander. Many of the dishes were chipped. Can openers were rusty and didn't work on opening our cans. We couldn't find any potholders. One old tee towel was in the buffet. Some of the light fixtures had burned out bulbs in them. I looked at the bathroom and it didn't appear clean. Both of us slipped trying to get out of the tub. No grab bars or bath mats. The tub was glazed and slippery. The toilet ran all night long. It probably needed a new flapper. Boy was it annoying trying to sleep with that going on. There was no deadbolt key given to us. We had a loose doorknob for security. That really got to us. The good points were the snow covering everything like a blanket. A nice backyard area. TV worked great. Heater in living room was very warm. It wss decorated cute. All it needed was a little TCL. Imagine someone falling in that tub. And break ins happen even in remote areas. Also there was a new rule telling you to haul your trash in your car and dump it near the hospital which was about a mile down the road. It was never like this before. Who would want to put trash in their car? I guess you could walk a mile in the snow carrying it? Oh brother! My advice stay in the cottages. They have been remodeled. And there is a newly remodeled house called beridise. We had a great time. I highly recommend eating at the Sweet Basil Bistro.

The only negative (which is barely that) was that there is no visitor parking on site. You must park on the street (big deal). In any case, the rooms are so quaint and cute. Each cottage is a little different from the other and offers various amenities, beds, cooking, fireplace, etc. Our friends had a cute little porch which we all hung out on and enjoyed some wine and cheese in the beautiful weather. Great location to the local park also. The price was very reasonable and we plan on staying next time we go up to Big Bear. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thanks for the friendly review, Jeff!

The red house is on one of the noisier streets but has a great enclosed back yard and deck if you have kids and/or a dog. It is also a bit cluttered. Southern comfort has nicer decor and is on a quiet street. All of the cabins are in a residential neighborhood which is convenient as far as restaurants go. If you are looking for more peace and quiet try the other side of the lake. The units were not as clean and well maintained as one would hope. They need to clean the bathrooms more thoroughly, wash the dishes, and do some minor repairs to get a 5-star review. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Sleepy Forest Cottages, The Red House: This is a dog friendly cottage with an enclosed back yard - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/zlcvD4MF6ZoAJWzEgQXjAw/348s.jpg) Sleepy Forest Cottages, The Red House: This is a dog friendly cottage with an enclosed back yard ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Sleepy Forest Cottages, The Red House: huge deck in the back yard - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/2JVzLwgwX9XwALzedKtl6A/348s.jpg) Sleepy Forest Cottages, The Red House: huge deck in the back yard ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thanks for the review.

The shower was the only downside, with only a few drops of water coming out of the head. Everything else made up for that though. I'd like to point out that Cathy and Mark take very good care of their guests even after they check out. I left my wedding band behind (of all the things), and they had it shipped to my house through UPS. Not only this, but they called me to make sure I received it.

When we first walked in we noticed a smell of something like gas, I think it may have been from the heater, but we just opened the window and were fine. Checking in was easy and the staff friendly. The room was small, but I already knew that, and we weren't looking for a huge room anyway. It was so cute and cozy that I instantly fell in love with it. The fireplace was a delight, the area was just far enough away from the center of Big Bear that you felt like you were in the middle of the forest. The bed was a little hard, but that didn't kill us. The door to the bathroom needed to be screwed on a little more, but that's easily fixed. The downer we had was that when I went to take a shower all the hot water was gone, I'm not sure if that is because the room shared the water heater with the couple downstairs or what, but my shower was cold. And the fireplace on day two wouldn't stay on, since its a gas fireplace. It would stay on for about 5 minutes then turn off. Other than that, I would definitely stay again. Next year my husband and I are looking for one of the Jacuzzi rooms =) We can't wait! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Judy T.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=BAbFTCZ5T9lyLdtHxWZ_rQ)",

The cute cobblestone fireplace and connecting spa were so romantic and the room itself was cozy and clean. We had no issues with running out of hot water and the spa was so relaxing with the perfect view of the fireplace. I was a little worried about no air conditioning in September, but the room stayed cool even though it was warm during the day and the ceiling fan also helped. The cottages are in a great location close to the main road in town and walking distance from a park, which was great for picnics. Management was super nice and they gave us a list of places to eat and how to get there when we checked in. We also borrowed a dvd from their collection, which had a lot of good movies in it. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. I know other people have said that in their reviews as well, so I really don't think it's a matter of preference. My boyfriend and I had trouble sleeping both nights and our backs were sore in the mornings. If management added a little extra foam padding to the mattress it would go a long way. (And in the meantime i would definitely recommend bringing your own pillows and something to soften up the bed.) Overall though, we loved staying there and will definitely be going back! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hello, thanks for the review.

I made a reservation online and called to confirm. Check-in was fast and easy. Staff was friendly and informative. Cottages are adorable and fairly clean. Big bed, shower for two, mini-fridge, sink, drawers, microwave, TV, small sofa, and small table all included. There is a 7 Eleven and a Mcdonalds literally 3 min. walking distance away. 40 second driving distance. lol Both are right next door. There's a park nearby as well.

We came up for our 12 Wedding anniversary. The prices seemed a little high for the quality. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Showed us the cabin on the map and let us know of recommended places to eat. Movies we were told were free and on a honor system to take to the room. Free coffee and cookies in the morning during business hours. Our check in was at 4 pm but cabin was not ready till 4:20pm. When we finally got in the cabin it smelled of bleach and lemon pledge and the floors were wet. The bedding had actual plant material and other plant debris in it that would poke and irritate. The fridge was noisy and would not keep things very cold. The fireplace was had a constant hissing pilot light. The heat lamp in the bathroom was nice in the chilly morning. Tiles were cracked in the bathroom and caulking was gone with the tile separating. The jacuzzi was nice despite half the Jets not working. The stone work was pulling away all around the jacuzzi. A lot of the light switches were shorting and not working properly. The bed was hard with pillows that felt like they had bricks I'm bedded in them. Overall it was like a cheap studio more than a cottage or cabin. The parking is not very accommodating for large vehicles. Almost hit a pine tree trying to avoid other vehicles. Very quiet area though. Would I stay again, not if given a choice and more time to look ahead of the trip. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jen V.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jF5vI3AatTgWDbmmv8uXZQ)",

The downtown tourist area and the city area are both short drives away. There are some restaurants and shops within walking distance.

This was our 2nd visit. The first time we stayed at Sleepy Forest Cottages #17. This time we stayed in Cathy's Cottages #5. The rooms are just the right size for 2 people to enjoy them and spend some intimate time together. The beds are totally comfortable and stacked with 6 pillows :) The Jacuzzi tub is wonderful. The fireplace is placed to be enjoyed from anywhere in the room, but especially the Jacuzzi or love seat. Cathy's Cottages seemed a little 'quieter' than SFC-less ambient noise. There's even a great little porch with a table and chairs to enjoy the mountain air. (Very close to Oktoberfest if you're in town to check that out as well. Only 7/10 of a mile from CCs!)

The front desk and staff were really friendly. They have what you need such as firewood, matches and DVDs for the room. Also really good recs for places to eat and activities. Driving minutes away from the Village. I'm not a snow person so staying here during the fall was perfect. Nice hikes to take your dog or walk around the park. The jacuzzi and fireplace was the cherry on top to an active day outdoors. 5 star rating! ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Hanging the flag with pride! - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/OR9TNIOu0fuyB8-_f5Dqxw/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thank you.

It was clean, cute, and very, very quiet! It had a kitchen and everything we needed. The owners are very nice and helpful and I loved the cookies and drinks in the office. I would have given it 5 stars except the bed was a little hard for me so I had trouble getting to sleep. A foam pad underneath would greatly help. The same for the pillows - I'm used to a down pillow so their pillow was a little hard on my neck. Next time I'll just take my own pillow.

We are glad you enjoyed "GG's House". As you can read in most of our responses to reviews, beds are always an issue. We do whatever we can to make each guest comfortable, but bed preferences are always different and vary. Either too hard or too soft is often the case, so we try to make them perfect between the 2 preferences. We hope to see you again, and maybe try another of our cottages, they are all different! Thanks. Josh P., Manager.

We do have one cottage in which the only sink is the wet bar sink, no in the bathroom. there is a nice slate 5-headed shower in this bathroom (cottage 213), and when we built that we could not fit a sink. Many guests love this room for the shower and coziness of it's location. Our main priority is to make sure you love your stay and your room, please let us know while you are with us what you think of the cottage - we will offer you any free upgrade if you do not like it!

Only regret is we didn't bring/buy wood and have a fire in the beautiful stone fireplace. We left our cares behind in Orange County and drove up late afternoon on a Wednesday, stayed two nights and left Friday morning. In between we had two breakfasts at The Teddy Bear Cafe (excellent food, friendly wait staff, excellent coffee. It's CASH ONLY, so be prepared. An ATM is in the lobby), a big hike starting at The Discovery Center (we made it up to the Pacific Crest Trail trailhead), and sat on the couches and talked into the night. My bed, the front room, was super comfy, and quiet, even though it was on the street side of the cottage. This is a very quiet neighborhood. Bff had the back room and was also comfortable. Shower was great, got warm water right away; bathroom was clean. The whole place was very clean. Upon entering on the right you'll see a good supply of books. Firewood is available in the office if you forget to bring some. The cable TV is enormous and the reception is excellent. Three teensy items I'd consider changing if I owned the cottage: better quality bathroom towels; these are getting pretty thin. Second, filters for the coffee maker -- and bring your own coffee. The coffee pods/bags provided are okay, but if you're used to a bold roast, you'll need to bring your own coffee grind. We used a paper towel for our filter and it worked, but a real filter would've been better. When we return, we'll remember to bring some filters. Oh, one other thing: it was kind of odd to have to dispose of your own trash. As it turned out, Mark in the office, grabbed our bag when we stopped to turn in our key. Thanks for that! Third, the loveseat sofa could probably use replacing as it's pretty uncomfortable. Big sofa is awesome. Book any of the cabins, Cathy and Mark who helped us, were super, and I'm sure they'll treat you the same. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=70) [5](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=40) [6](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=50) [7](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=60) [8](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=70) [10](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=90) [11](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=100) [12](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=110) [13](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=120) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=90) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

I've been extremely pleased with everything both times. The cabin was always clean, well stocked with cooking supplies, plenty of clean towels, etc. The location is beautiful and quiet. It was fun to borrow DVDs to use in our cabin & partake in the little treats/coffee if we wished. The staff was helpful and informative about the area. After comparing Big Bear cabin rates I find them to be competitive to slightly lower than some. I would go back in a heartbeat, & recommend these cabins to anyone!

We stayed in Cabin #17 (Eureka!) And it was cozy, clean, and everything we could of asked for and more. There was an included set of cutlery, plates cups and mugs, as well as a microwave, toaster, ironing board, iron and blow dryer in the room. We had planned to get paper plates and cups during our stay, but because of these included things we didn't need to! The jet tub was absolutely huge! The husband and I are quite tall and not exactly thin and we both fit inside comfortably. The water was incredibly hot too! The rain shower was also very relaxing, my only issue is that the shower curtain is just a little too short so the floor gets wet easily. Another 'complaint' was the firmness of the bed. It was made of some sort of memory foam material but it was incredibly hard. But I also understand that bed softness/firmness is 100% a personal preference thing and while it wasn't great for me, it may be for someone else, and it didn't take away from the stay as a whole. (Just want to give a heads up to anyone else who likes softer surfaces). We had opted to not have housekeeping visit during our stay, but the room was very clean upon check in. Upon check in we also requested an additional blanket and it was brought over right away. I see there have been some complaints about check in times running late but we didn't experience any problem with checking in. In fact, we checked in about 10 minutes before 4pm without issue. The front desk clerk was friendly, gave us a little paper explaining a few things about the room, WiFi setup, a map of the grounds, and a few suggestions for dining and activities. They don't have keys for the cabin so the paper also had our passkey for the cabin as well. Check out was as simple as walking in, telling the lady on the iPad our cabin number (a little different but not at all inconvenient) and walking out! We are definitely wanting to come back again next year! The cabin was so cozy and everything we needed/wanted for our stay. It was also priced great too! Checking in on a Friday and leaving Sunday was about $310. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - The outside area around cabin 17# - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/VMQAark3CuCv-EoSVY7QBg/348s.jpg) The outside area around cabin 17# ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Cabin #17 (Eureka!) - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/IS8MuY18g2tSf-C_djlS_g/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Pilar P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=H9HcyvaJSixgFqAoXNDlSw)",

I was honestly surprised with all the little things, It has a small sink, fridge, and stove; dishes, cups, mugs, forks spoons and a cooking pan and coffee maker. T.V. plus WiFi.

I went for a two day romantic retreat with my partner and I was so impressed with their services and accommodations. We came during the middle of the week during the low season so it was pretty empty. During our check in, the front desk guy was very friendly and offer an upgrade to a larger cabin since it was empty without charge. He also threw in a free starter log and bundle of wood. Overall, the accommodation were clean, homey, and romantic. The two person indoor jacuzzi and fireplace made it magical. I loved my experience with Sleepy Forest and would highly recommend it. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=150) [13](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=120) [14](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=130) [15](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=140) [16](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=150) [18](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=170) [19](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=180) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=190) [21](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=200) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=170) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

I've only ever stayed in gigantic cabins in big bear, so this was a change for me and I was a little nervous about the accommodations I would receive, to say the least. I was very pleased with their location. It is basically right in the middle of big bear, so you're never far from any one thing. When checking in, I noticed the office was clean and quaint, and they had scented candles you could purchase. They had a library of DVD's you could also check out, and a lengthy list of free amenities they are happy to provide you with, should you need them. I noticed that each (or most) cabins had a little patio area with chairs and a BBQ. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated. They had cable TV, a nice gas fireplace and a gigantic Jacuzzi tub....not to mention the two person shower with double shower heads. Cabin came equipped with a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker (although if you are a serious coffee drinker, I would bring your own coffee - theirs tastes like warm tap water) They don't want you wiping your makeup on their linens or towels, so they are nice enough to provide you with complimentary make-up remover wipes (I forgot mine, so that was very convenient). Room was stocked with plenty of towels and blankets and the property was very quiet and peaceful and they provide free WIFI. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and I could tell they wanted my stay to be as pleasurable as possible. The only warning I would give about this cabin is that the bed is not very comfortable. The day after I returned home, I booked another stay for December and I can't wait to go back! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Mindy, thanks for this great review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and are coming back! We do have the regular coffee packets for all rooms but also have strong coffee in our lobby every day from 8-8, and we like it strong as most guests do :) We would also really like to know which cabin you stayed in and we could check out the bed... We are always looking into our beds and mattresses, fixing and upgrading, as most guests have different preferences. We look forward to having you back and hope you have a wonderful stay! Please let us know during your stay how everything is and if you have any issues at all! Thanks.

Most of the resorts in town are on the main boulevard and kind of noisy with cars passing by. Sleepy Forest is back of the main street away from the noise and gives you a great sense of felling as if you are in the woods with all the huge trees on the property . I was super happy to find out that the front office has now been reopened and remodeled after covid . They have created a super relaxing and cool Tea and coffee lounge , definitely a great place to hang out and socialize when your not in your cozy cabin .I was also happy to find out that a was able to book directly on the sleepyforest.com web site and get a discount on me stay. The staff is always very welcoming and helpful , i will definitely be back... ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) This place is great!. I have stayed here many times over the years and I recently booked a last minute reservation to get away from all the craziness down the hill. When I arrived my cabin was super clean as usual, stocked with all the necessities. Towels, shampoo, soap, and even great coffee for the morning. But the reason that I love staying here most of all is The rustic feeling that the cabins give you of staying in a true mountain resort. I will definitely continue to enjoy sleepy forest for years to come. thanks - [![Photo of Loraine H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/3cqOs0zuQWKWyvXphKx1Aw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=2ZhYuHxwBJjhTl9RNsJK6g)",

The gentleman at the front desk was very kind and re-booked me to October 20 with no change in rate. That was very nice of him as it's a little embarrassing when you make mistakes like that. Since we arrived shortly after 1:00pm some of the rooms were not clean. We wanted to check in so we could change into some warmer clothes. There's a 40 degree temperature difference between Palm Desert and Big Bear! The gentleman also was very accommodating and offered us a clean room that we could check into however, he said it was only a queen-size bed. The room was clean, but pretty small. The weirdest thing was that the spa tub was by the front door and there was no bathroom sink, just one in the living room that also had the microwave on it. I think if possible, opt for the room with the king size beds. Hopefully you can find one that offers a bathroom sink in the bathroom along with the toilet and the shower. The location was super-quiet and we got a good night's sleep. I can put up with no end of inconveniences for a quiet room. The cottages don't share common walls with other guests and each unit also has its own outside table and two chairs. Based on what I understand of choice of accommodations in Big Bear area, this one still probably rates about the highest. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thanks for the very nice review! We are very glad we were able to move your dates and upgrade your accommodations, and that it was quiet! Cottage #13 is the only cottage that does not have a sink in the bathroom, we had to remove it when we installed the large 5-headed shower. #13 and #14 are the cottages with the Jetted-Tubs behind the door as well. We have many different lay-outs in our cottages, and hope you can come try a bigger Jetted-Tub cottage with a different lay-out. We are always happy to give free upgrades in these cases :) Thanks again!

My boyfriend and I stayed in 208 for the weekend. It had a kitchen, living room, w/fireplace, flat screen tv, cable, bedroom with a king bed and bathroom. It was perfect & only $100 a night, and only a few blocks from the lake. This was such a great deal because we were able to make all of our meals, rather than spending money on going out! Heads up, the cabin has very basic kitchen utensils, we had to go buy a bowl & baking pan. So if you plan to cook, make sure you bring a few extra cooking tools. I was so surprised by all of the wonderful little details, like coffee packets that were actually tasty, organic/green body washes & soaps, makeup remover, heaters in all the rooms, movies/games to rent. Everything was clean and very quite, even as more people showed up on Saturday. The guys at the front desk were super friendly and more than happy to answer all of our questions and offer us coffee & cookies! ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - suite 208, king suite fireplace - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/ZEUMXHp_ciQOzLLnxDquQg/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - suite 208, king suite fireplace - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/UCMr7BqCkqaSSZ4vJXedMg/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - suite 208, king suite fireplace - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/MfleB1NpxcrlT6QBqSTtbQ/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - suite 208, king suite fireplace - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/WD38z0_RsIyM79RHrr1KLA/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Amanda E. for Sleepy Forest Cottages](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?userid=PeQbqMyFj8MVRbpR0KTNLQ) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Amanda, thanks for the great review!

Saw the good ratings here and booked it right away! The woman on the phone was able to reserve a cabin for us the next day as long as we paid the full amount over the phone. I believe the price for a night was 100 plus tax. The next day we arrived and got our keys, tried to checked in on Yelp to get our free candles of course! But there was no signal so she gave it to us anyways. When we finally got to our cabin the first thing was the jacuzzi of course!! How exciting and romantic!! Haha our small cottage had a fireplace, microwave, wine glass, utensils, and a huge shower. Also had a big screen tv with cable and Wifi. All and all it was cozy and comfortable.

So you of you're looking for a nice cabin in the woods (Cue scary music) for an anniversary, a relaxing weekend getaway, or if you and another few friends want to relax and chill out all together they also offer a little 1 bedroom up stairs cabin, we will definitely be staying here again after our time here.

We were changed to a cabin with a tiny entrance porch only, with no sitting area possible, windows we couldn't access due to the immobile mini blinds, so no view of any kind.

The cottages reminded us of a quant English cottage setting. It was very clean and amenities were more than what we expected. The indoor spa and spa shower were wonder, offering a great relaxing addition. Cottage was secluded and very private, however, they were close to many shops and restaurants. The bed was so comfortable and the interior was warm and inviting. The price per night was very affordable. We will definitely make this our go to place for future celebrations and getaways. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Marie C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/82Y43rVRpVG29Wlb1SEpLQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=WvanLjQlrp1OBScCI5o4Qw)",

Quaint. Cozy. Most importantly, reasonably priced. We conveniently parked right outside our little cabin. Our cottage (#8: The Suite) had a small patio with a 2-person black metal table. Once inside, the snug, dimly-lit room housed an old sofa (this was in decent condition, unlike others have complained about in their cottages) and a rustic 2-person table, an antique refrigerator, and older sink and counter -- like going back in time. We even had an elevated fireplace (although not needed in August). In the single bedroom, there were broken sections of the aluminum blinds (which we patched the gap with a paper towel). The toiletries provided were nice -- just wish the towels were softer/fluffier rather than the old, thin towels supplied. The room was efficient with its use of limited closet space and TV cart. Most appreciated having an updated bed and bedding -- AND ceiling fan -- which was very comfortable! In addition, free wi-fi, pleasant office staff, conveniently located, safe location -- our small-and-cozy cottage fulfilled our needs for a quiet-and-comfortable place to sleep after a physically-active day on our 1-night summer get-away! ![Sleepy Forest Cottages -

And beyond paper thin walls. You could literally hear and feel everything. If you think earplugs will work, you better think again!! Also some units although advertised as entire place is absurdly false. There will most likely be someone right beside you or above you on the other side of the walls and it feels like your sleeping/ staying in the exact room as random strangers! Also no discount or any type of accommodation whatsoever for such a pitiful Hostel type cottage. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [2](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=10) [3](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=20) [4](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=30) [5](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=40) [6](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=50) [7](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=60) [8](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=70) [9](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=80) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=10) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

The prices were good the cabin had all the stuff I needed to cook my meals. My wife and I had a really nice time and enjoyed the cottage.

We are glad you enjoyed it and will return. I believe the receptionist was Cathy, who has been in the lodging business for over 30 years, and helped us come up with some of our policies on how we treat our guests! It might sound like routine as she has done this for so many years, but Her and all of us strive not to be routine, but to be personable with everyone. We enjoy meeting and talking with you! We look forward to having you back. Josh P., Manager.

You will recall that I was always in contact with you and all the time we spent discussing the power outage, and how you were disappointed some restaurants were closed in the village and when we refunded you a portion of your rent, I was under the impression you were very pleased! That was a sold out Holiday weekend with fantastic new snow, that caused the power outage for a few hours, and all of our guests were loving every minute of it!! We do not often refund guests after a stay, but gave you back $50 and we spoke with you multiple times to ask if you thought this was fair compensation and to make sure that you were happy. We were never told about any other issues. We do not put full comforters on the bed, like most other hotels now days, for sanitary reasons - only folded at the bottom for choice of use. We are glad that you did enjoy parts of your stay. There was another guest in our Lobby while you were here who had an issue as well, and we did everything we could until they left comfortable and happy.

My wife, baby, and I originally booked a small room at Cathy's Cottages. I booked online but had called after doing so to voice a slight concern that the adjoining room might cause my baby trouble sleeping/napping; I believe it was either Bob or his son that assured me if it got too loud they would move us if anything else was available; thus it wasn't a huge concern and we were happy to book our Cathy's Cottage room for such a great deal. When we arrived to check in at the main office at Sleepy Forest, it was already noted on our reservation to give us a FREE upgrade to a family-size two-story cabin at Sleepy Forest. Apparently Bob either looked up my reservation after we talked on the phone and made a note of it since we have an infant, or they moved us to Sleepy Forest just because they had a vacant cabin here. Nonetheless, it was an unexpected gift and kindness they did NOT have to extend to us, since we checked in on a Thursday and I'm sure it was entirely possible someone could still book this big cabin they gave us, which is worth a much higher rate to them than we're paying. I'm sure not everyone can count on getting free upgrades every time, but this was a very nice gesture on their part for my wife, baby and I -- and yet another reason why we will be staying at Sleepy Forest every year, and recommend it First to anyone who asks. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) an absolutely perfect rustic getaway. also the best rates to be found in Big Bear -- we rented a private one-room cottage for 3 nights mid-week and it was just $40 a night (and i imagine their weekend/holiday rates are an equal value). the kitchen, room, and bathroom were clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. it's quiet, unique, 2 minute drive to downtown big bear and many great local diners. i can't imagine what else a visitor to big bear could need. had a good time chatting with the owners in the charming lobby over a cup of their coffee. nice, simple, down to earth folks -- a perfect getaway from crazy los angeles people. - [![Photo of Ashley J.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/lY85njQxlZ2T-QqzPqbb3g/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=-dgUbX_lFqklJuf29A7piQ)",

I was invited to spend a weekend in Big Bear with some friends and this is where she made the one-night reservation. I absolutely loved it! We stayed in the Farmhouse but sadly, there was no hay. (Wa, wa). The furniture reminds me of a grandmother's house. Lots of floral! But it fit the cutesy-ness of the cottage. It even had a creaky staircase that lead to 2 queen size beds and a single bed (with quilts!). It got stuffy up there when we left the heater on but the beds were pretty comfy. There was even a roll-away bed downstairs. Full kitchen (with dishes! And filled ice trays!) but only one bathroom. My two favorite parts of the cottage were the jets in the bathtub (HELLO relaxation!) and the guestbook that sat on top of the fireplace where guests write a quick note about what they did, where they were from, what they liked, tips, etc. It was so charming. Until my friends got to it, but that's another story. Beautiful place and it was within walking distance to a playground and Big Bear Lake. Oh yeah and a McDonalds.

This place is beyond amazing. I'll get straight the important stuff 1\. The staff Mark, Cathy and Josh ( I'm sure there is more workers and amazing as these workers that I met ) go above and beyond to help you . Full of knowledge. 2\. Price for value. They can easily charge double and get it ( please don't raise prices ). Quality is on point . Hot tub is amazing and for those of you who been here I should have listened to you guys when you say " only one cap of soap for bubbles" lol bottom line, worth every penny ! 3\. Bed is the perfect softness , flat screen tv perfect ! Light dimmers perfect to set the mood or someone who is sensitive to light , the heat lamps in the shower room I need some of those for my home !! 4\. Location is awesome ! No ghetto neighbors or area . Very respectable area and nearby to literally everything ! Even though we have nice quality restaurants all around us we bought dominoes pizza lol don't judge us . We just finished a 5 hr hike and was in desperate need of food ! Best dominoes I ever had. They made it with love ! I swear! Anyways I hope this was helpful. I'll be back when it starts snowing . Maybe if I slip the owner a fresh pressed 5$ bill I'll get dibs over you guys ;) kidding .

The online photos for Sleepy Forest where spectacular and sold me. Hot tubs in every cabin, a fireplace and a comfy bed that would induce a shag fest in us all. "How romantic, right?" But the online photos were deceitful. The online pics are actually better than the actual cabins. The pics showed cozy cabins with spacious hot tubs and fireplaces, but upon arrival, I found the hot tub worn down (Yuck!), the cabin decor stuck in a 1980 time capsule. The accomodations are just not worth the $179 a night stay. For these accomodations, I say stay at Motel 6 or a Super 8 and save some cash. At least you can use the money to dine at Big Bear's Sonora Cantina or a Big Bear steak house in the village. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) This review is a few years old and we have made quite a bit of changes (upgrades and remodels) since then.

We do our best to keep out cottages in prestine condition; we clean and bleach the jacuzzi tubs, which most guests love, and we also always have a room or cottage being updated and remodeled. Please check out some of our newer remodels, they are very nice. Also, our number one priority is to make sure you like your room - if you do not like it upon arrival we will give you a free upgrade to any other room, or your money back.

My last stay was a year ago now, but based on more recent reviews, it seems like the tradition of excellence I experienced is still in full force. Anyway, my story: When the Central Coast was too booked up to deal with over Spring Break, my former gf and I decided to explore California East. After a night at the exemplary Wigwam Motel on old Route 66, we left the suffocating heat of San Bernadino for the crisp, refreshing air of Big Bear. Even though she was stung by several hornets on the drive up the hill (watch out for those summertime dive-bombing bugs!), the rest of the drive was without incident and ultimately afforded us the awe-inspiring views one would expect at a high mountain lake. Anyway, Bob Pool, the owner, was an absolute legend checking us in (we had made reservations a week ahead of time), and he even kicked in some cookies with an awesome upgrade to a cabin with an in-room spa. We both sang his praises and then left for the room. Imagine a large cabin near the water. Open the door and feast your eyes on a spa lined with river rock, a fireplace with even more river rock, and a HUGE bed. Keep walking in and gawk at the mini-kitchen, the closet, and the two-headed shower, one head on each end of a large tiled walk-right-in shower hallway. That's what we got with Sleepy Forest, and that's the starter cabin from what I heard! Everyone involved in this enterprise was super friendly and helpful with my questions, whether they were in regard to check out times or where we could get a good glass of wine and a jazz concert. Plenty of parking around the cabins...if my old truck could get around the trees and massive hoopties all over the place, so will whatever you got. The lake is great, and there're plenty of trails to run around on. Good bars in town, too. Can't remember the name, but one of the "downtown" bars was notable for its excellent craft beer selection and a poolshark Native American who walked around with his pet wolf. No joke. If you're going to Big Bear, do yourself a favor and give a call to Bob Pool and his friends at Sleepy Forest Cottages. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jessica S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/4N-JCibEhsxQbe_lDJ4vBQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Zh1TPNlTmcRbmbIubDocxw)",

Stone fireplace and jacuzzi are the focal points for sure and were really fun. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, toiletries, and great water pressure. Only rough spots were the instructions we were given for the DVD player weren't accurate so it took us awhile to figure out on our own how to watch a movie!

I gotta say that these places are few and far in between! I mean you just don't get this kind of reception at most chain hotels. Another thing was that our son had called to get a recommendation for dinner to surprise us from the staff and they suggested Captains Anchorage and what a lovely place it was. Thank you Sleepy Forest Cottages for a blessed weekend and we will back. A destination......away from home! P.S. Don't forget to write a little something in their journals. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Armand and Gloria, We are so glad you had such a great time and we appreciate this review so much!

The room we stayed in boasts the first in-room Jacuzzi ever in Big Bear. Staff friendly and courteous. Free WiFi. It is a good idea to arrive while it is still light so you can navigate the cramped parking areas (it is in the forest!) We have stayed there four times since 2004 and you can look forward to a decent room at a fair price as well. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Rikki S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/fP9fsE5HXiyITF-VY4oSEg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cexdbdaNa5m19VWkftNXPQ)",

Night arrived the tv in room wasn't working. Maintenance did come fix the 2nd day. The toilet runs and is very loud which made it hard to sleep. No napkins in the unit. I have concerns that the unit wasn't cleaner prior to my arrival. Upon departure I noticed in the blankets long black hair- my hair is blonde. Also noticed bugs all inside the sheets and blankets. Was in town to run a race. By the time I got back to the room the other nights I was extremely tired and went straight to sleep. I did not consider that I should inspect inside the blankets. I reached out to management. They said they've been having trouble with housekeeping. No doubt in my mind that these units are not cleaned, bedding not washed and infested with bugs. The jacuzzi was definitely nice but I would not recommend staying here. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Black hair in sheets - not my hair. - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Br2fU1UmKf-wEv7YkRbHCA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/SX6ZtrZdq8NKxxHX5OwZEQ/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/amul1mfuvxLxI5-WlzYR-Q/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Sandra M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=jHyYCLdep3yGOVCm_LsTDw)",

They are a bit on the older side, but clean. Most of big bear is like this. There aren't really any high end resorts here. It's pretty central to both the slopes and the Big Bear Village area. They were also willing to forgo a 3 night min stay and let us stay for just two nights. You can preview each unit on their web site. There is a guest book on the fireplace, with previous couples notes about their stay, that's like reading penthouse letters. Lets just say the jacuzzi tubs get a lot of use. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Elizabeth P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/xJREq_xRf0RZnytTYVlGfw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=tI4F6NEbztDgBjbU7OmDJQ)",

Ranging from personal cottages with a cuzi I and an old fashioned fireplace that is bada$$, to just a place to stay with the whole family. Rooms are very affordable and they accommodate just about everything. I rented, for a second time, the fisherman cottage #4 which is not disappointing. Full kitchen with pots and pans, plates, and silverware. The jacuzzi is nice and spacious, and the bathroom has a huge walk in shower which is essentially the whole bathroom with two shower heads to get it nice and steamy! I really suggest this as a nice romantic getaway! So many great adventures waiting around the corner since it is right in the heart of big bear! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Noel C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/zLCTaxYRexceXA9Lj-hO7w/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_sTH5JjFk0nJdzsk6nbu6Q)",

Great for a long weekend but I wouldn't want to stay in this room for a week or so. It just isn't designed for it. They do have other, larger cabins that I am sure would be fine for an extended stay. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Excellent experience overall and we will definitely stay here again next time we are in Big Bear! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=250) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=220) [24](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=230) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=240) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=250) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [29](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=280) [30](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=290) [31](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=300) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) [![Big Bear Cool Cabins](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/0WOqXV5j70pL8n2DoiT1xw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=WwZfI93Fdhl6-_MKXzxS5Q&campaign_id=EjglUMKQVhY0crKM4-TCFQ&click_origin=biz_avatar&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fbig-bear-cool-cabins-big-bear-lake%3Fhrid%3DCHefnUngk6XftdN-6y2EKg&request_id=57110e4232091b25&signature=a0ea5349c71d8fe7c1891eaac95367fe644d142ad3542528df4579b94f8c8951&slot=0) [Big Bear Cool Cabins](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=WwZfI93Fdhl6-_MKXzxS5Q&campaign_id=EjglUMKQVhY0crKM4-TCFQ&click_origin=business_name&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fbig-bear-cool-cabins-big-bear-lake&request_id=57110e4232091b25&signature=3ed8ceccdbdd38775af26766c6c740250c4b112077e103e4e94675388e4b5be7&slot=0) **1.3 miles** away from Sleepy Forest Cottages Stephanie I. said"I had booked the romantic getaway for my boyfriends birthday- After I had booked the room I found yelp.

The beds were lumpy, table lamp was broken, toilet wobbled..... ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) We are truly sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We might have been able to improve your stay if you had let us know your disappointment earlier. You did not let us know you were unhappy until your stay was over and Your reservation came through Booking.com which does not specify a particular room but just a room type. You booked a family cabin for four people. It seems you think you where in a two story loft cabin (units 2 &12) but your cabin was a one story 2 bedroom {Southern Comfort). So when you say the loft looks like a shelf its because it is a shelf above the full size bed for luggage storage. It is not a place to sleep. There was an issue with your heater at check in which I apologize for but we did have it fixed within 1/2 hour of your arrival. The cabin has 6 ceramic drinking glasses 6 coffee cups the two glasses you spoke of and 6 wine glasses. We do provide free matches weather or not you buy the wood from us but we do not put them in the cabin ahead of time (some families have kids) Regarding your comments about the general condition Southern Comfort is a more rustic cabin that we get many repeat requests for. I do think you would have been happier in Cozy Bearadise, a modern mountain home with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, but you never gave us the chance to do anything - [![Photo of Kylie S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=GampA-KkEvHZRu08M8UnNA)",

My fiance' and I stayed for a single night and had the best time. We loved our stay here. Our only regret is that we didn't get to try out the jacuzzi. The cottages are right in the middle of everything. Lots of places to eat within walking distance, although I wouldn't recommend it. Snow Summit is maybe 2 miles away. Big Bear Mountain is just a little further. Well worth the money spent. We will be returning and hopefully sooner than later. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Steven Y.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/ZyE_n4fwxVjcyGCQ7wu9uA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Tz7sOM6PYX2BgRM5hP0dQw)",

Skiing? Boating? Hiking? A lil get-a-way trip with fam or your significant other? Make your rez here at the Sleepy Forest Cottages. It's easy to find (turn North on Eureka Drive from Big Bear Blvd - between McDonalds & the 7-11). You'll find SFC about half a block down on the West side of the street. If you've got reservations, checking in is a snap. There's parking right in front of the office. Be sure to have your I.D. & car description & you'll have a key in your hand in less than 90 seconds. These front office peeps are efficient. A quick rundown of your cottage's "dos & don'ts", you're handed a map lay out of the Cottages which lists restaurant recommendations, telephone numbers and Wi-Fi password...and you're outta there! This past weekend we came up for 4 days of skiing & snowboarding fun! You're less than 10 minutes away from Snow Summit & about 20 minutes if you're hitting up Bear Mountain. (If you're here for the Summer & Fall months, the lake is a short walk Northwest or a short 5 minute drive to the docks). Each cottage has its own "theme" & accommodations depending on how many in your party. We wanted our own space from the family so my wife & I so we got in #201 - the 1 bedroom Honeymoon suite. Get this! A Jacuzzi tub for 2 IN the living room sits in front of wood burning fireplace & flat screen. GTFO! The bedroom boasts a fourposter Queen sized memory foam bed & mirrored closet doors to remind you how lame missionary style looks. Medium sized kitchen with a nice sized fridge...enough to store your beers & snack-ables for the weekend. The bathroom has a tiled shower large enough for Jabba & Princess Lea with 3 shower heads guaranteed not to miss any nook or cranny. There's a sliding door from the bedroom that leads out to a semi-private deck with a couple chairs a small table and small charcoal grill. This was such a great cottage...the only downside to this was the wall heater makes all kinds of noises throughout the night. The constant "ticking" & the loud enough "boom" of the metal frame expanding to jolt you out of bed every 45 minutes is enough to drive anyone mad. For you light sleepers, I suggest bringing earplugs. The rest of the fam & friends stayed in #212 "The Farmhouse" - The large split level comes with mudroom entrance, a loft bedroom has a double bed AND a single bed while the connecting bedroom houses a queen. The large living room area has a small flatscreen tv, love seat & full sized couch. Full sized kitchen with all the amenities; refrigerator, 4-burner gas stove, dishwasher & plenty of counter space. The only downside to this cottage is the one & only bathroom is downstairs. Be prepared for peeps in your party to tromp up & down the stairs for those mid-night calls of nature. However, the upside to this bathroom is the midsized oval jetted tub. With a roll-a-way bed, this cottage is large enough for 6-7 family members. Any more than that, you'll be stepping on each other's toes & restroom schedules could be a nuisance. Last summer the wifey & I spent it in #203 "the Apple Tree Cottage" - tiny studio with a queen bed + bathroom: no tub, but there is a shower for 1. There's a wood burning fireplace, kitchenette with sink & counter which holds the coffee maker. No stove, but there is a microwave which sits on a shelf just above the mini-fridge. \\* Flat-screen tvs w/ DVD players. \\* The kitchens/kitchenettes usually hold some of the basics: cookware, dishware & utensils. \\* Coffee Makers w/complementary coffee. \\* McD's is a 180 second walk up to the corner if you're stomach is growlin' & 7-11 is on the other corner if you might've forgotten your daily dose of XXXL cherry slushy, a greasy Slim-Jim or noticed that 3-yr old condom you left in your wallet finally crumbled in your hand... \\* Music - i.e., mp3 player w/speakers \\* DVD(s) if you plan on stayin' in for a quiet evening. \\* Ladies: remember to bring a make-up towel (don't mess up theirs)...it's in the "dos & don'ts". \\* If you're a coffee snob like my wifey, bring your own ground, sweetener, creamer & a few "basket" type filters. \\* Earplugs if you're in #206 or if you don't feel like listening to any friends or family members snorin' away. \\* BEER or your choice of beverages. \\* If you're in a cottage with a wood burning fireplace, don't forget starter logs & some wood. However, if you don't feel like lugging this on your trip up, the front office has your back. \\* Cash money to leave the clean-up crew. Even if you left the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the knob your whole stay, don't be a cheap ass...they still have to clean up your shit after you're long gone. Hope this review helps you in choosing SFC for your next stay in Big Bear.

Normally I like to do my research but it was so last minute that I decided to trust Yelp and find others thought was best which led me to Sleepy Forest Cottages, it certainly didn't disappoint! How cute! I've stayed in cottages before but this particular one had a cabin relaxing home away from vibe. We stayed in cabin #18 which included a living room with fireplace, dining area, kitchen, a bathroom downstairs with a spa jacuzzi and standing shower. The upstairs had a large bedroom with such a comfortable bed and right next door another bedroom with two twin beds. It was really spacious! Everything worked perfectly, it was stocked with basic amenities and everything was clean from top to bottom. I had no complaints. Check in was easy and instructions were provided immediately after booking. They were extremely accommodating. I would definitely recommend staying here since it'll be difficult to find a better price, location and stay. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of John N.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YBUjkUg42WI7GJb5oDPpuQ)",

Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback, we will try every effort to make improvements. Over the past 40 years, The Sleepy Forest Resort has created special spaces in the forest, high up in the sky, our guests, with fun and fantasy throughout. We are the romantic places in nature where you come together to stay, play, enjoy each other's company. However, the resort is in Big Bear mountain at 7500 feet high altitude, doing business in Big Bear is extremely hard due to higher operation cost, higher taxes, road condition and labor shortage. We have tried very hard to support local community and protect nature, please join us to save the forest and mountain. Please come back staying with us again! - [![Photo of Chris A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/R6fr3IsnLEOC-EkflsMzUA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=rCKLhzDdPofFLK9TC6UTyg)",

They are very cute, spacious, have great bathrooms, and good heat & fireplaces. There is also free Internet and a DVD player in the room, so bring some DVDs. These cottages are also in a perfect spot for easy access to go skiing or snowboarding. They also give a list of recommended restaurants in the area, and trust me, use their list. We went to two of their recommendations and had a great time! Last but not least, the owners are very nice and have great customer service! They were super friendly to us and we were actually able to try out two different cottages without having to pay an additional charge. Our last night we stayed in a cottage with it's own private hot tub. All I can say is nothing but nice things about this place! I'm ALL about customer service and so are the owners so it made my stay PERFECT!!! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Mooshie O.C R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/llA_nG0_m09431u1lZXkuA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=zwMIntfvkGx2XGdm1H6qGQ)",

She was impressed. Not only does Sleepy Forests have amazing rates but the service and rooms are excellent. Always hospitable, clean and we'll stocked with everything you need. Thanks again for an amazing stay in The Aviator room. We will continue to stay at Sleepy Forests/Cathys Cottages when we come up to Big Bear.

Kathy was very helpful in answering all my questions and helping me find what I needed. Now let's get to the room. We stayed in Room 16, which features a gas fireplace, jacuzzi tub, king size bed, and love seat. As soon as we opened the door and entered, we were aw struck with how great it really was. It was even better than the pictures showed. The jacuzzi was amazing, and always had hot water available for it. The shower has a light in it that changes colors, pretty cool. The king bed was AMAZING AND COMFORTABLE. Great night sleep. The atmosphere was peaceful, and mind clearing. It was so good we had to book a second night in a row. Again, Kathy was amazing in helping us out. I recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing night in the mountains. We will definitely be returning in the future.

It was absolutely perfect! First of all, even with no snow this December, Big Bear was still a beauty. Since our rooms weren't ready at 4p, Mark was extremely wonderful and gave us free firewood for our picturesque wood burning fireplace. With the extra time, we took a nice stroll to the lake, which was only 5 minutes away! The Village has tons of cute shops and bars, and is only a 3 minute drive away. Coming from LA, the beers on tap are also very reasonably priced. The cottage itself comes with the perfect romantic setup so you really never have to leave your room! The large jacuzzi is directly in front of the Cable TV (they also have dvds you can borrow for free) and fireplace. The only thing I would add is to bring your own furry rug and it will be everything you could want for a winter wonderland. There is also a very warm heater in the room. The bathroom is completely tiled with double head showers on each side of the wall...for your pure cleanly enjoyment. Definitely try to book months in advance, this place fills up and gets quite pricey during the winter season. In conclusion, thumbs up for the cottage and thumbs up for Big Bear! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Abhinav J.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/skrQZ_9APDH4jKcyhWMXkA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=TCmNmQe7_VD1uOoDNPCBiw)",

We just returned from our second trip to Big Bear this year and because we're so content with Sleepy Forest, we stayed there again. We always request a small cottage known as Southern Comfort and while nothing is exactly like home, it's a perfect little getaway cabin for our small family. We had no issues whatsoever. On the contrary, everything was great. Plenty of linens, heat was fine, lights in working condition, TV worked without a hitch (although someone had apparently put the batteries into the remote backwards, but it was easily rectified), fireplace is huge and dreamy on cold nights, and as always, the area is quiet and peaceful. And just a few minutes drive to ski resorts, snow play, and Big Bear Village. We will come back again and again. Couldn't be happier:) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) We love this place. We've been staying here for several years now every winter. When my daughter was small we stayed in a one bedroom (single room no kitchen) cottage, but as she's grown she needed her own bedroom so we upgraded to a two bedroom cabin. Just so cozy and comfy. The family that runs it is great and the little cottage we stay in is perfect for our tiny family of three. We like the location as it's right in between the village and the ski areas and I dearly love the park and neighborhood for quiet walks. - [![Photo of Todd J.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4KZIpVQK3-4LdA9gTs-bHg)",

After the on site manager tells us there isn't any other availability and that they have a "spray" they can apply, the hostess woman who appears via video (she wasn't actually at the property at all), told us that we could move our stuff to another unit. We agree that this would be more comfortable and we move. This other unit didn't have a kitchen like our original did, but no discount or price change whatsoever, and we asked. The worst part of it all though, was that there was NO HOT WATER in our unit, and it was SNOWING!! We called the front desk about this and hours later a utility person came and told us it was broken, worked on it for a couple more hours. It worked for about 30 minutes. You see my girlfriend wanted to use the bath that sits next to the fireplace. It was a selling point of the cottages here. She couldn't take a bath because the water was so cold. This absolutely ruined our stay. Do not stay here, they have no concept of how to treat guests when problems arise. We asked if they could take care of the 2nd day of our stay due to all these problems and they refused.

The front desk clerk bothered us for days in advance for checking in with the hotel. The wifi information was wrong information. On the wall of the cabin. There was trash and construction.. The construction looked oooollllldddddd. It's cable for the tv's so you need a ruko account. There was no front desk management It just seemed the whole place was kinda stale.. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Vicki W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Fr1LKmXcLMYhD9vE5gnOdA)",

This was my second time, cabin 6, the 1st time, and cabin 9, the second time. Cabin 9 is a lot smaller, but I still liked it. The check in process could of been easier. I personally do not like being asked to send the copy of my driver's license via text. I enjoyed my stay overall, and I would recommend this place. It is also so cose to the village which has everything you might need.

Our first time in Big Bear couldn't have been better hosted. The family is insanely nice and you can borrow DVD's from the receptionist area on a "honor system" basis. So sweet. Josh was very honest and accommodating. The house was in top shape and the cottage even had plates, silverware, glasses, toiletries. Very unexpected but great. A fuse went out one day (no biggie), but was immediately taken care of. The cottages are very cozy, simple houses in the midst of trees and Blu Jay's. We even had a nightly racoon visitor that loved making his way into the space under our room- amazing. ;) They give great deals if you stay longer. The restaurant recommendations (Peppercorn and Himalayan) were unbeatable. It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely come back. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Nates M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/-LYF-xVICGzouhFXck-cBg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=87VqI6oGrA93hsKbyV9jSA)",

From the very moment we arrived at the cabin to the very last moment before we left, we were met with fantastic hospitality, care, and enthusiasm. It is a family-owned business and the individual concern for their clients truly shows. I believe in good people providing good service and goods and this is definitely one of those cases. We stayed in Unit 191, "Southern Comfort". [http://www.sleepyforest.com/#!southern-comfort/c1x9s](http://www.sleepyforest.com/#!southern-comfort/c1x9s) It is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin with a living room and a full kitchen. The bedrooms have a Queen and a Full size beds. Remodeled bathroom, not-advertised outdoor jacuzzi, and two parking spaces were some of the highlights. If you travel in the summer like we did, BRING FANS. The air circulation, with the doors and windows open, were minimal. That was the only, THE ONLY complaint we had. Everything else was absolutely above and beyond our expectations. The bedrooms have drawers as well as closets. The smaller room with the full-size bed also has a small loft that also houses a twin mattress. KIDS would be best suited for this room, naturally. :0) The bathroom has recently been remodeled with new sink, new tub, and tiles on the floor and on the shower walls. Between the two of us, there were plenty of hot water from the water heater. The living room has a fireplace, TV, a couch, a love seat, and a coffee table. Two lamps illuminate the living room. Just on the other side of the bar is the kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, sink, and stove along with a dining table in the corner. The large backyard that has the jacuzzi was great for our dog to run around in. My son and the dog had a great time, chasing each other around. We looked at the Cabins-4-Less website and read the reviews and we were horrified at the reviews and the prices. Sleepy Forest is THE way to do Big Bear. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jen A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/6RUCpThWTJePQWPnvNYGNA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=3E11bP5FYqvwGGItl89Txg)",

Paint was peeling from the walls. The couches were saggy and uncomfortable. Window coverings fell off of their bracket. The cottage wasn't ready at check-in time, we had to wait. Cleaning service didn't show up the 2nd day...we had to go to the office to request basic necessities like toilet paper...and they didn't even apologize. Very unprofessional. Would not stay here again. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Grout missing, dirty grout, peeling paint - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/2-OB5CTE28ApiDnm_zYMtA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Peeling paint in bathroom - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/rf1JXVmIPY4nkYXA3rKKlA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Old toilet seat missing paint - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/KHnGzb_vbFRkcchBht-43w/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Light switch with missing switches to cover a hole in the wall - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/rm12fxaxlKfxR9hs2QOOtA/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Julie P. for Sleepy Forest Cottages](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?userid=V_td9qpmv9JdvZZTWBRzWw) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jane P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/A4DLm9DFi95imHK_sYh54g/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=3veA7S-QZUN_M80zBag-Cw)",

We are sorry that the bed was hard for you. We of course want all of our guests to enjoy their stay and sleep well! We also appreciate you noting that we would have fixed a problem if you said something. We do - as I'm sure we did you - urge every guest at check in to tell us not only if there is a problem but just to let us know what they think of the room right after checking in. We offer FREE upgrades to any guest unsatisfied with the room they check in to. We also constantly re-position and renew beds and mattresses, we would love to know what room this was...We hope to see you again soon! thanks, Josh Pool, Manager. - [![Photo of Sherri M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/DTEqZIosyC_msCQmX2s9PQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=nfK2tez7iMv2nQonZg79ww)",

There was plenty of space for two adults and three children, easily could have fit the max allowed occupancy by law. Should have "checked in" with yelp and gotten my free yankee candles, would have helped with the power outages, which could have been so much worse if it weren't for the hard work of the local power company, make sure to thank them whenever you see them out and about. Anyway the cabin was very clean and charming, with a good stock of dishes. The staff were attentive and efficient. I did notice some ants in the kitchen but if you're in a cabin near a lake you should kinda expect some critters. Sat outside on the porch in the evening and the bugs were none existent (thanks bats) made for some very enjoyable porch sitting. Well I'd be amazed if anybody is still reading this as much as I'm rambling but definitely had a great stay, plan on making it back soon. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=240) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=250) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [30](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=290) [31](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=300) [32](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=310) [33](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=320) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=290) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

It was a last minute trip and booking our cabin was made so easy by the owner. He was very polite and made sure to let us know all the best restaurants and local places to visit. They offer coffee/tea and pastries in the office as well as free DVD rentals and free WiFi. Our cabin was exactly what we were looking for and had a woodsy rustic feel to it. It came supplied with all the pots and pans,dinnerware and BBQ grill. You just need to bring food and your good to go!! Our cabin was a short 2 blocks from the lake and so convenient to grocery stores, fast food and the main Hwy. I highly recommend staying here if your looking for a place to stay in Big Bear:) I will definitely be returning for my future stays:) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Spare room with a wooden window seat and great view of the pine trees and sunset - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/7VPnOoHH1C6TKGteeTFT-w/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Main room - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/JGCy3RP4BUshjQwr9r7QBQ/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Cute front porch to just sit and relax!! - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/fjBe8fYX7TbUdF7ROaIHcA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Our beautiful little front yard:) - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/xKARQ5rIRgoe8NcfKDYj8Q/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Dominique R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/MpKXd0u0ToMb4smlYi0d2A/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=GgoBT-gcLHaY6OUA14HlXw)",

While Sleepy Forest's website was a little antiquated and didn't quite give a great picture of their amenities the location and the photos they provided were enough to get me to give them a try. I booked #1 "The Deluxe" and was pleased with the size of the cabin, the cleanliness of the shower/tub/kitchen and other often overlooked corners of a rental, and the assigned parking right next to the spot. The kitchen had enough utensils for a family of 4, there were a wide variety of light fixtures great for reading or setting the mood, and the tub worked perfectly time after time we used it over the course of the long weekend. Even managed to get wood and a starter log from the front desk to build a fire for a couple of the nights that we were there really creating a perfect atmosphere. Only downsides to the experience were the street wasn't as removed from street traffic as we would have liked making for a lot of passers by and killing a little of the illusion that we were out in the woods, but more importantly the bed just wasn't comfortable. Perhaps it's a nitpick on my part as I sleep on a Termpurpedic regularly, but by the third night we decided to just sleep on the fold out in the living room rather than in the bedroom as it was more comfortable. Overall a great experience, friendly staff, and quality balance of location between the lake and the amenities of the town. You're a mile from the fine dining offered in one direction and a mile in the other direction you'll find the grocery store for supplies. Of course that and you can walk to the lake front in the opposite direction as well. Would consider checking out a more secluded cabin on the property in the future but definitely will come back the next time we're looking to visit Big Bear. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=110) [9](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=80) [10](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=90) [11](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=100) [12](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=110) [14](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=130) [15](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=140) [16](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=150) [17](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=160) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=130) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

We could hear the neighbors talk, shower, flush the toilet, etc. So cabin 6 lacked the privacy we were looking for. Also, the bed wasn't very comfortable (very hard - but some may like that). And the lighting in the bathroom made it hard to put on my makeup (minor details). Pros: It was clean and cozy (nice, big jacuzzi tub and fireplace) and the staff was friendly. The price was good (about $200 for a Saturday / Sunday night stay). I would go back to Sleepy Forest, but would definitely make sure to get a cabin that wasn't attached to another one. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Sheryl, thanks for the review! We wish we would have known you did not like room 206. We would have been happy to move you or give you a free upgrade! We have not had many complaints about noise in the only 3 rooms that are attached here, and are sorry you did deal with hearing other guests. We are also always evaluating and replacing beds, so we will note that bed and the bathroom lighting. We hope to see you again soon, and for all our guests, please call us while here if there is anything you do not like about your room, we are eager to upgrade or move you to make you happy. Thanks, Josh P., Manager. - [![Photo of Ahmet G.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/CQFKBdT3Z8Pp9WBBzE7OLA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=0JX2KZwBPpSmY7lzl4FeXg)",

Little seperate cottage, not too big, roomy enough for us, very casual and comfy feeling.. My husband and I just came back from here. We celebrated our 10 year wedding Anniversary. Spent 3 days and 2 nights. First off I have to say it is family owned and operated..and they are just the nicest people. I communicated with Bob and Josh I bleive they are Father and Son, and owners... before hand to make everythng perfect. SO accommodatng,they both were. I paid extra for the romance package and asked for an upgrade from cider to champagne.... called when we made it to Big Bear City.. Josh's wife, (forgot her name) had the room done with candles all lit up, champagne, rosepetals on bed and around jacuzzi, Rose on the door mat when you walked up, and a couple more roses on the complimentary robes and in the champagne bucket. Also chocolate covered strawberrys and bath salts for the jacuzzi tub, music playing quietly in the back ground.. what a way to start a romantic get away! The place was so clean.. very quaint, quiet and perfect. I can't believe how reasonable it was.. GREAT prices for what you get..and I would pay so much more the customer service that they really dwell on. THEY totally care about the customer.. THAT is Number one in my book. Good location, not on main road which I liked. I seriously just can't say enough about the place. I have absolutly nothing bad to say! Our first night there we drove around checked out the marina at Holloways and ate at Cowboy Express steak house and had the steak dinner for two. (highly reccomend this place!) My hubs and I are very outdoorsy peeps. Josh reccomend a bike rental place "chains requred" and offered us a coupon.. We did an almost 10 mile bike ride and LOVED every minute of it. We also fished that morning on the lake.. rented a skiff from Holloways. I totally outfished my husband the fisherman. Had a romantic Dinner at Evergreen International Restaurant. I will Yelp about all the places I just mentioned too. Other than that we just walked around the village..and then our last day we took a hike around Green Valley Lake( another small lake close by), and then hit the Village of Arrowhead and went home. BUT The stay and the set up of our little cottage 209 MADE our whole weekend! THANKS to everyone at Sleepy Forest Cottages..we are already looking at our Calendar to see when we will be back..Looks like possibly in the Fall! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) This review really made our day.

Cottage located in quiet neighborhood and is conveniently located to all amenities. My wife is a clean freak and had no complaints about the cleanliness of the place. All appliances were updated and worked perfectly. Barbecue was clean and full of propane. Ceiling fans in all rooms worked great. Very spacious living area. Recliner chairs were just the ticket after a day of hiking. Plenty of hot water as we never ran out while taking multiple showers at the same time. Parking was totally awesome. Check in and check out were trouble free and the staff was great! Wi-Fi was spotty but got the job done. Bed was a little on the firm side but everybody has their own preference. Would definitely recommend staying here to my friends. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Gerold H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/r2JjEGyuuckaGy5uDGVvKQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KQwCG0vJlUUVPdKZSK_pWg)",

I am a 74 yr old disabled vet, and my wife and were going to our son's home in Sugarloaf, CA. We decided that since my wife cannot climb stairs, we would take a room. Finding this site on line, we decided to book there. Well, 20 minutes after booking, my wife told me that she could not go as she was in so much pain after her hospital stay, that she just couldn't sit through the flight, let alone be good company for anyone. So I cancelled the room. Now i am told I do not get a refund and there is nothing the resort can or will do short of me dying to get a refund. REALLY!!!! Do you treat all your guests this way? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Life happens, and there are good reasons for giving back a refund. It takes months of social security checks to save for things like this, and you care very little about the people and more about the money. WOW!!!! I hope the money comes in handy when you meet your maker. I would love to see how you explain your greed and your treatment of your fellow man!!! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Vanessa R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/xvJVWFtsObRZiVkwIX_zfg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=pQrDmZBUGWLzSz07EIYjzw)",

From start to end, I loved everything about MY cottage... darn it, I wish it were mine! My husband practically had to drag me to the car to leave. I joined Yelp! JUST to review this great place. We stayed in April when it was freezing at night and warm in the day, and I was always comfortable here. The staff at the front office are beyond nice. The cottage was great. The area was clean, safe, and close to The Village. I slept great. The jacuzzi was fantastic. The shower was beyond heaven and we never ran out of hot water. There were cute little "extras" in the super-clean room from toiletries to coffee. The bed had crisp white sheets and felt luxurious. We hung out on the little porch and had Blue Jays fly around our heads. Yes, like in the Disney movies! I HAD to get out of the city for a weekend, and I will save up to come here again, as soon as possible. I went home refreshed and dreaming about the day when I can bring my little girl up with us for a little family vacation! Thank you, Sleepy Forest, for my perfect weekend! I miss you! Keep up the great work and know that your smiles are welcomed by the Nash Family! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Deede S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/X9nWU7Ukb4PAHBKM8UxrSQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YPLM-y1k49qmv4JTzufQYA)",

I have already found your reservation and refunded the 7% cancellation fee. We never want our customers to feel this way especially over a small fee. The 7% is a credit card fee that we are charged on every transaction. We do make our policy very clear when booking, but anytime it is not understood and gets to me, I will refund it and make sure you are happy. We would ask that you update or remove this review if you are willing, and would love for you to call and book with us again for a special deal! Either way, we hope the refund of the fee suffices and that you can stay another time. Thanks, Josh P., Manager.

We wanted something low-key and intimate and this was the perfect choice. We stayed in cabin #16 and absolutely loved it! Our stay was for three nights and four days and although I don't remember exactly how much it cost, I remember it was very reasonably priced. I'm usually weary about hotels and lodging cause I'm super picky about cleanliness but this place was so clean that I was able to fully enjoy myself and feel comfortable when showering, using the tub, or sleeping in the bed. This cabin was so cozy and private. The check-in office has movies you can borrow and we really enjoyed ordering Domino's from down the street and just relaxing in bed watching movies. We also enjoyed the tub, again it was super clean so I didn't feel "icky" about it. I also enjoyed reading through the little guestbook and took a suggestion and ate at the Grizzly Manor Cafe, so good! My husband who is an avid biscuits and gravy fan said they had the best he's ever tried! February this year was kind of off-season I guess but we were able to find some fun things to do. We took a short, refreshing walk to the lake from the cabin, went zip-lining, went on a drive to Lake Arrowhead and took a boat tour, and enjoyed shopping and dining in downtown Big Bear. The best part was definitely just relaxing in the cabin. Can't wait to go back! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Chris H.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=YFm_o-6hYyIti-f9R5EaBw)",

This was our first time heading to Big Bear Lake, so we found Sleepy Forest Cottages online, and the rates were great, so we booked. Everything is online, so there is no interaction with any staff, and no workers walking around. Driving in, there are deep ruts just entering the driveway, also in the designated parking space. Just be careful walking out of your vehicle because you could really trip and fall if you're not paying attention. The cabins are very cute and rustic looking from the outside. Walking in, there is a full kitchen with a refrigerator, gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, press and panda, and utensils! Awesome! There's a hot tub between the kitchen and bed, and a large bathroom with dual showers for those times you want to take showers together! This place was far from perfect, as the cable TV was out (there is wifi, though), the electrical outlets were barely working as my phone charger would fall out, and there are no fans or AC. It was a bit hot this trip, so having a fan would have helped. For the price, I think it's still worth it, they are a hidden gem that needs to work out those kinks! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Sharon M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/rHWPd0zzHpWi9rjOpqgQ5Q/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oQ4z4FjRhJIH6OUv-dC2eQ)",

My husband and I just returned from our little end of the summer getaway and already want to return. All I can say about Sleepy Forest Cottages is that it is a first class operation. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We wanted a cozy place to go where we could also bring our dog. We decided to stay in one of the vacation home rentals called GG's House. It is the perfect little getaway for two. We loved the cozy cabin with the country, shabby chic feel. The bed was very comfy with plenty of pillows. It also has a cute kitchen which was perfect since we brought all our own food. I also enjoyed sitting outside on the front deck in the morning reading and relaxing with my coffee and enjoying the beauty of the pine trees. Also there is a great park and the lake is just around the corner which our dog loved taking a walk to. We also enjoyed our cruise out of Big Bear Marina called the Big Bear Queen. This 90 minute lake cruise was awesome and I highly recommend it. We learned so much history about Big Bear Lake and the tour guide did an excellent job. Also we did some hiking. I highly recommend taking the chair lift up to Snow Summit where there are many beautiful hiking and mountain biking trails. All I can say is when planning a trip to Big Bear make sure you stay at Sleepy Forest Cottages. we can't wait to come back. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Drake S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=VErsDmTG4SVBmnDg98Yzwg)",

We booked a room (cabin 4, I believe) during the summer at a great price. It was a comfortable little cabin with pull up parking, a small kitchen, large hot tub, wood burning fireplace, and best of all, a huge open bathroom with not just one but two shower heads! It was so luxurious and my boyfriend and I felt as if we had our own little spa. Another great bonus was that we were able to have our dog stay with us for just a $50 fee. All three of us loved it! Wood was sold at the reception. Location is very close to the village with plenty of options for food or groceries The only con I can think of was that the water in the hot tub had an off scent to it when turned on (likely the water from before) and that the TV only played DVDs. But not a problem as DVDs were free at the front, and Redbox was close by at Von's. Will definitely stay here again on our next Big Bear trip. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Scarlett A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/IkbgwkhkF7lTHCqM0bZnkw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7Tp2S_BBFzU-Yk7TlreJRQ)",

Owners do everything to make your stay comfortable and if there is a problem only ask and it will be addressed. Only request from our summer stay would be to think about installing small air conditioners as even our small cottage with overhead fan got uncomfortably hot and when you close windows for privacy it is really hot! Definitely will return when it is cooler and we can enjoy mountain cool air. Very clean inside and out with great area for cook-out. Stay at least once and guarantee you will return.

We were in Cabin 8 which was a cozy 1 bedroom with a small kitchen. Overall we thought the cabin was quite comfortable for 2 people. It has a king bed, full bath, small living room with beautiful fireplace and small kitchen. There was a small deck with table and chairs where I enjoyed having my morning coffee and we made use of to sit out for a bit in the evenings. The kitchen is adequate but I wouldn't plan on any major cooking. We only meant to fix breakfast and it was barely useable for that purpose. Bring a fry pan (There is one but very small) and baking sheet if you want to use one, also salt and pepper and napkins. Our one big complaint was the bed which was hard as stone. Also no room in bedroom for suitcases or a useable closet. The closet was filled with an old TV on a stand. The decor was cute. The staff were all very nice and anxious to make our stay enjoyable. The location is great, in a woodsy area near the lake.

The guys at the front desk were really nice. They didn't smile much (maybe I'm biased because I LOVE smiles), but were polite and helpful! They hooked us up with a free upgrade just because it was available. I didn't even ask! We stayed in 216, or just "16" as our door read, and it was the perfect little cottage. King size bed, jetted tub, gas fireplace. It was amazing to be able to watch a movie while sitting in a bubble bath. I don't think I've been in a bubble bath in over 20 years! Be forewarned though, don't overdo it with the bubbles. They multiply once you turn the jets on! It's in a perfect location in the area. You're right next to a McDonalds (for midnight snacks) and a 7-11. Meadow Park is just a couple blocks away, where you can find a seat on a rock right by the lake to watch the ducks swim around. And it's only a mile from The Village, where you can eat some food and visit some cute little shops. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jay C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/-uiWo83DtP6x9eS3Bl_U7w/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=fPP8vvJb-ChjFT-irXiQeQ)",

This place is cute and quiet but here comes the issues. The bed is like sleeping on a cement slab. Nothing comforting about it. We arrived late and everything was closed I almost felt like sleeping in my car the bed was that uncomfortable. I paid for a two night stay but ended up going to another establishment with better beds. Now let's talk about the bugs. The front door has a 1/4 inch gap at the bottom of the door sill that allows any creepy crawling spiders or bug into your cabin. Pull the sheets back on my concrete slab and seen a couple of bugs tucked in the corner. Not a bug expert cannot confirm or deny if it was a bed bug. Could have been a Forrest bug for all I know. The bathroom floor tiles are loose. If you are looking for that outdoor experience but being indoors this is the place for you. On the plus side I will give you a 3 star rating because your showers and the water pressure and how hot the water gets will sanitize your body after laying on that slab. If I can give you any feedback. Change the mattresses and box spring and seal the place up. And I'm sure you will have better reviews. You made money off me and I don't even care. Use that money for some improvements. Wish you guys the best. I will never use this place again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Jennifer B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/4zsbZ6-B-wdeK9M_Z5COtg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=CefePe2FCafQeaZ4X1rkAw)",

It is connected to two additional businesses that also do not offer live check in personnel. Check in is by wifi service only and they don't even offer a strong signal at the front office (unoccupied). The sign on the door actually advises guests to GO UP THE STREET TO USE MCDONALDS WIFI! So unprofessional! Check in is late...5 PM. When a guest tries to check in at 5 PM, NO ONE responds! It was 1 hour and 22 minutes before an employee answered any of the half dozen texts attempting check-in. At that point, they were not even ready to tell me my cabin number! They asked all kinds of registration questions despite that being done on Priceline already. Wanted car info, CDL etc. By this point my husband was ready to give up and leave our vacation behind. I found another cottage for less that graciously accommodated us immediately. No refund is being offered me for my lack of entry into Sleepy Forest Cottages. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Conversation with the business - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Q8ezed5PwPXQhVP4eQgS0Q/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Office front door sign - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/vLpwChFt_0wvL1JlBoykzA/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Ryan M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/KrFhpxotZQEnrwbxny4bXQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7o_wnyv-EP9mN11ayt6vfQ)",

Because of this review we just installed a new AC system in this room! We want to ask you to come stay again, in this room or another, and let us give you a deal. This time of year includes the few weeks it gets the hottest in Big Bear. We are always on call and offer fans, AC units, and upgrades if you are not comfortable and happy! Grandma's Attic is our smallest and cheapest room, the only with a cute, small bathroom with a sit-down shower-wand tub. The room itself is themed as an "attic room". Again, we look forward to having you back and hope to speak with you soon :) SFR You get what you pay for. I paid $120 for two nights for Grandma's Attic in Cathy's Cottages. There was no A/C and we found ourselves sweating during the day and into the evening. There's a ceiling fan but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. The bathtub has a slanted ceiling so you have to sit while showering. I would suggest bringing your own pillows, blankets, and a portable fan for the hotter days. Overall, I give the staff 5 stars because the man checking us in was really friendly and gave us suggestions on where to go. The room was clean and humble. Next time I'll probably spend the extra money to get a nicer room. The room is right next to a Circle K and walking distance to Thelma's restaurant. It's also an 8 minute drive from the lake. The wifi is free and works really well in the room. - [![Photo of Aimee S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/Q6qpnArvyaHqcjIsJTkshg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=3VrRWUttaUHamwhcvKEw6g)",

A little pricey for what it is but I guess that's what you get when you want a "detached" cabin. I really enjoyed the spa tub and the fireplace. Also a nice touch with the community dvd collection. Over all great experience and would stay again! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Tori - glad to hear you enjoyed your stay!

      "traverse:reviewText": "[Jordan J.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=K1SL2rc8bLBoBqk1UVUjnw) My boyfriend and I stayed at the "Cedar Pines" cabin this past weekend and could not have been any happier with our experience with the Sleepy Forest team and the lovely cabin. First on the cabin - It was absolutely perfect. The inside was very cozy, had nice little luxuries (flat screens, wonderful kitchen appliances, etc.), comfortable furniture and bed, awesome hot tub (heated up just fine), and seriously everything you could ever need in a kitchen. We cooked a lot while there so that was important and such a relief! Also, since we were there in the middle of July I was kind of concerned about heat, but was pleasantly surprised to find it was perfectly cool with fans located throughout the cabin. The Sleepy Forest team was really great to work with, too. When we got to the main office for check-in, Josh thoroughly explained everything we would need to know to us. They even have a library of old VHS tapes and DVDs that you can borrow! Once we got to the cabin, the property manager dropped by with a charcoal grill for the porch too! The Sleepy Forest crew made our stay easy, convenient, and memorable. Also, right before we went I saw the negative review about the noisy neighbor, and she did not bother us one bit - we never saw or heard her. Yeah, her yard was junky but when you're at Big Bear, you're not really hanging out in your front yard. You're either out on the lake, in the mountains or inside the cabin. It didn't bother us!

My girl and I needed a break from everything LA and decided to escape to Big Bear. I did a bunch of research, looking for the right place to stay. All my research pointed to Sleepy Forest Cottages. Still, you know how it is... There is always this worry. We have so little time and we need to relax. So you hope you made the right decision. We pulled in around 8:45pm and Mark was waiting for us, smile on his face, with a great attitude. He gave us our key and we found our way to a romantic cottage in the back. Once inside, I had a wave of relief-- I made the right decision. it was super clean and super nice. Re-done marble showers for "two." A jacuzzi for "two." A couch for "two." A bed for "two." And even better there was a 7-Eleven and a McDonald's within walking distance . I hear what you are thinking... what? A 7 Eleven and McDonald's, who wants that near you on a weekend vacation. You do. They are on the main drag, and hidden from your view. You get a cute cottage and a two close places to get ice cream and mango smoothies. It worked out great. It was hard to leave the cabin. Exactly what we needed. A place where we could relax and have time for us. Thank you Sleepy Forest Cottages for making that happen. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Amy P.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gHO4__DVH9hvG-BgxF392A)",

We got to the front desk and the gentleman working was very polite and informative. After we checked in to our room, I called and asked if we git the wrong room because I thought there was a jacuzzi in it, he immediately apologized and let me know I booked a regular room but when you book through Expedia it doesn't explain well and people make the mistake of thinking that. Anyways, so it was my fault and I was ok with it but then he said he feels bad and said he'll give us a jacuzzi room... then calls me again and says he feels bad because the room he wants to give me is still small so he upgraded double time for free and was soo nice about it when he did nothing wrong! So kind. I love them and the room was immaculate. Housekeeping is soo clean and leave everything spotless!! I was overly impressed with this place.

We arrived before check-in time were able to get our room right away (hooray again!). While we were checking in, Bob told us to, "ask if we need anything whatsoever." The cabin itself is awesome. It was lovely and clean, something to consider when you're about to jump in a hotel room's jacuzzi. I was enjoying a bath and some champagne in the middle of the afternoon and I kept complaining to my beau that it was hot in the room. It's my own fault for taking a bath in the middle of July, but the room didn't have an air conditioner or a fan. The location is perfect for walking to various restaurants (7-11 and McDonald's down the street if you're in a pinch) and a public beach in the other direction. Everything was perfect. Except that it was hot in the room and I felt that it ruined my birthday bath. Upon checking out, a girl came to the front desk to return...a fan/air conditioner. When the front desk tells you to ask them if you need anything, you should probably do that. Because they have it. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Lou L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/JaG4vAiVdsk5mBztdG_FpA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ibRdcd3yoRHQfPBL4KcByg)",

We got an \*awesome\* rate and were very excited to come up for our first trip to Big Bear and celebrate our 10 year anniversary. In searching for a cabin I was really looking for either an in-room jacuzzi tub, or, a spa out back. Cedar Pines fit the bill with - "quiet backyard spa in a lovely forest setting" I emailed with a couple questions, and always got prompt, helpful responses. Check in was a breeze, friendly, helpful, great directions to the cabin, etc. Pulling up, the first thing you really notice is the cabin directly (VERY CLOSE) next door. Junky, a collection of broken down cars and woman blasting her TV and talking loudly on the phone. She NEVER stopped blasting the TV/talking. The cabin inside was GREAT. Much bigger than I expected. Clean, comfortable, FULLY stocked kitchen. Seriously, just about every utensil you could need, full fridge, oven/stove, micro, coffee pot, you name it! Bed was comfortable, bathroom was outdated, but clean, and fine. Decor was cute.The unusable loft is a bit odd, but, I knew that going in, so no big deal. All was well, until we looked out back. That " quiet backyard spa in a lovely forest setting" was a dingy dirty patio, with 2 junky cabins VERY close out back including a lovely view of all their trash, and broken down refrigerators. And the loud lady from next door? He junk car collection (look another one!)and LOUDNESS was part of that too. The "lovely forest setting" was garbage, cars, broken appliances, and dirt. Not at all appealing, inviting, romantic, quiet, or lovely. A privacy fence would do wonders. So would a sweep of the patio maybe wiping down the table before guests arrive. We had no urge to open the back curtains, let alone go out there after that. You really couldn't be outside at all, front or back without the views of trash, and being bombarded by blasting TV/LOUD woman. At check out time it was a different person than who checked us in - he asked how things were, and I was quite honest with our disappointment. He knew exactly what we were talking about, exactly why we were upset, and said other people have had the same complaints. The owner really needs to work with the property managers to fix this place up as nicely on the outside as it is on the inside. You can't pick your neighbors, but, you sure can make it so you don't have to look at them! I'd LOVE to go back to Big Bear, but, we definitely won't be booking here again.They knew it was an issue, but, still advertise the "quiet backyard spa in a lovely forest setting". I wanted to love it, but, when a major part of what I had searched for in a cabin was just downright disgusting it's quite a disappointment. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) We no longer manage this cabin, "Cedar Pines", and have not for 2 years. Therefore, this review no longer holds any validity and will be removed shortly. -Josh Pool, SFR Thank you for the nice things you said about us. We're glad that enjoyed the rate. We love Cedar Pines and its back yard setting. It is located in lower Moonridge in a neighborhood of nice cabins on very small lots (the area was originally a campground). Part of its popularity is its proximity to the national forest, the golf course (Cedar Pines is just 2 blocks from the driving range), and Bear Mountain Ski Resort. Of course, we are very disappointed that you did not enjoy the back yard and spa, and that we did not know about it until you checked out. I hope you realize by the way we treated you all along that we expect you to tell us immediately if anything is not perfect. We thought you understood how much we want to communicate with you. Apparently, two of our neighbors had become very messy and I did not realize it. Upon seeing your review, I immediately visited the property to see what had happened to our lovely forest setting. They seem to have cleaned up a little since you were there. I did not see any refrigerators outside, but a neighbor behind us was working on a remodel and may have put some things outside when you were here. He still has some blue tarps on his back porch. I saw a car parked out back and it was an older model, and two cars for sale in front another neighbor's house. I talked to her, and she was in the process of moving out of the house. The cars are still there, and city code compliance has already been contacted. They promised to remove any non-op vehicles. They are also working to make sure the other neighbor with the remodel cleans up. I went out back and took some pictures, and then again this week. I visited with the last two guests to make sure they were enjoying the back yard and spa, and they definitely were. One party stayed 5 nights. It is still a forest setting, with a now-dry creek running through and I thought it still was pleasant. As you said, Josh and I answered emails and worked to be helpful in advance and at check in. I hope you recall that Josh gave you an information sheet for the home and asked that you call the number there if there was any problem. If so, perhaps you didn't want to bother us, but in that case, we are very disappointed that we did not know you were unhappy with this home. Mike explained to me that you mentioned the back yard condition when you checked out and he agreed with you about the condition of the backyard, thinking this had been an issue for some time and we were planning to build a fence. Actually, this has not ever been an issue in the past. It is an issue now. We are working with our friends at code enforcement and will watch to see that no cars or junk get left out there again. We will also remind each guest to let us know if it gets bad again. We would love to have taken care of you or moved you during your stay. We certainly do not expect anyone to stay when they are not comfortable. As you said, we can't pick our neighbors, but we talked to ours and they are cooperative. We did hear her TV one day, but that was from out front in the parking area (and maybe she was a little hard of hearing). We could not hear or see her or her cars from the back deck. She appears to be moved out now and it is very quiet. We realize you are not planning to stay with us, but we would love to have an opportunity to make this up to you and put you in another unit, (and make sure you tell us right away if there is anything amiss).

First year we stayed at #190 GG's house, it was wonderful a small room but you had everything including a small kitchen with all. 2nd year we stayed at #14 and we had a Jacuzzi and my son love it!!! Small room very cozy, clean and when you are coming tired from sky a Jacuzzi sounds so good!!! 3rd year we stayed at #13 and is almost like #14 but in mirror, again a great experience! I told to all my friends about the Sleepy Forest, has a wonderful location, you can walk to the village, a small park in the back and close to the sky area. My only surprise this year was that the prices went up a lot, they use to have special offers like buy 3 nights and get one free but not anymore. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thanks for the nice review!

You just make a left onto Big Bear Blvd and then a right onto Summit Blvd. iPhone Maps was glitchy and tried to make us drive 20 min. to get there. So make sure you ask the office, because it's literally only a mile away. These are the most affordable cabins in the area because you don't have to pay a cleaning fee.

Since I had the most dealings with Sleepy Forest, I figured I'd write the review. So I was trying to find a nice, romantic getaway up in Big Bear for a Christmas surprise for my baby. I am VERY thorough in my searches, especially when it's for a gift for a loved one. I'm pleased to say Sleepy Forest exceeded expectations and anyone reading this would be crazy not to stay there. First of all, Cathy and Josh are very personable folks who were patient in hearing my "list of demands" for a perfect getaway. The cottage's are individual and clean, while being very romantic in ambiance. Yeah, I've read the very few hating reviews on here, and those are the usual people who send back a burger when it has one extra pickle slice on it. You're in Big Bear people, you're here for the rustic outdoors. Want foofy? Get your picky you-know-what back to the city. Anyway, we both had the best experience we've ever had in Big Bear. The hot tub was so awesome, the bed was comfy, and it's not next to a main road like a lot of places in Big Bear so there was no road noise. Price was probably the best part in that it was VERY reasonable and didn't have any "secret housecleaning" fees one should watch out for when booking a cabin in Big Bear. So support a local family business that will make sure your stay is as special as ours was. Thank you again Josh! - Mike. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Sheryl B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/lXWoPTJz2m4UgOvgTkYYVw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bAJr5OsFmpwcmFTG3Xv3_Q)",

This cabin is located just a few yards away from the office. It had TWIN sleeper sofa in the living room which will only sleep one person, a king bed in one of the bedrooms, and a full bed with a twin above in the other. The twin bed above did not have a mattress but two overlapping tiny little foam pad things, which nobody could comfortably sleep on, this room also did not heat up with the heater and the fireplace going so it got down to probably 30 degrees in there at night so be sure to bring lots of blankets. It was also pretty chilly in the other bedroom. So overall it could sleep one on the sofa bed, and two in each bedroom, one of our guests had to sleep on the other couch that did not pull out. The kitchen did not have some basic things such as measuring cups and no basic food supplies such as salt or pepper. Most of the other cabins we have stayed in at least had the basics. No dishwasher either. In the backyard there was a small Jacuzzi that we thought we would have access to but it was locked with a padlock and it did not open with any provided key. We had a hard time figuring out the shower and when it did work it the water was suddenly scalding hot. And there was a big window in the shower which I though was weird especially because the backyard is not fenced. The cabin was very clean and there was daily maid service. The wifi only worked ( slowly) in the living room and there was no washer or dryer. In the office there were yankee candles and firewood for sale. Also there were board games and movies to rent for free. Also coffee and pastries available for free. within walking distance there was a mcdonalds and a 7-11. Overall the pros weighed out the cons and I would stay there again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thanks for the review, Southern Comfort is actually a very popular pet-friendly cabin! It is important to mention that this cabin sleeps 4 people max and is only bookable for up to 4 people. The sofa bed is a bonus and only for children, and the small bunk above the bed is not intended for anyone to sleep on. The spa has been out of order since early last year and has not been advertised to any current guests. There is no advertisement for a washer or dryer either, but we do have other family cabins with washers and dryers! We haven't had any issues with the heat or plumbing, and have portable heaters in bedrooms and available to borrow. The bathroom window is very private. The kitchen is also fully stocked with dishes, cookware and utensils. WiFi can be spotty at times but we are always eager to know about it and do what we need to make it work better. All this to say, we urge all guests at check in to call us immediately with any needed amenities or any issues. We would have liked to know while you were here about all of these items! We are very glad that you enjoyed it overall, and would love to have you come stay again, maybe try another cabin.

I would like to commend the excellent customer service of their staff esp. Matthew, Mark and Cathy, the cozy and cleanliness cottage (GG's) we stayed. They have house cleaners everyday! I love that its a fully equipped kitchen. I am only giving it a 4 star because of their policy of no refund even if its due to weather condition. It was snowing for 2days before we went up and on the day of our trip. Unfortunately, when we were already at the chaining area HWY 18 was closed due to heavy snow. We waited for an hour like the other tourist did. Hoping it will soon be open. But still its dangerous to travel up. Accdg. to patrol it may be close until tom. morning. We don't want to risk any lives esp we are with r toddler so we went down to hesperia and look for an available Inn or hotel for a night. I called the office immediately regarding the situation. The next day we were allowed to go up and safely arrived at the office.Ms. Cathy welcomed us and feel sorry for what happened but sadly they don't do refunds. She said she will still try to ask mgmt about it. I was really disapppointed bec. that was 100 bucks gone with the wind. I dont wanna argue and ruin the day. We already had so much stress from yesterday. Ms. Cathy's consideration and excellent customer service offered us another night but at a different cottage. So we could still have the days we originally planned and paid for. Luckily, hubby is off the whole week!Yey! Hopefully management will be considerate for a refund to their valued customers due to weather conditions. Not all will be lucky to extend their vacation leave at work. So its better if customers will be given options. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Michelle N.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/btsNXzBPSuztY_1jAJ5FpA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=mAQYujieeyGZuyYZo1CvsQ)",

We were hoping for an early check in at 1 p.m. only to be greeted by a virtual screen. So impersonal .We were told they were busy and the room wouldn't be ready until possibly 3 p.m. We received a call at 3:40....until that time, no one was on site. Our fireplace didn't work. An employee was called on his day off to light the pilot. Our king size bed was old and worn therefore we got very little sleep. When we returned to our room at 4:30 the following day, housekeeping still hadn't shown up. I called the office and was told housekeeping would be right there. 30 minuets later, I went to the office to request at least towels. I was chastised for feeling frustrated thus far. There was no customer service or any attempt of being understanding. My husband and I are a mature couple with plenty of travel experience under our belts. This was one of the worst, disrespectful experiences thus far. So disappointed and we will let everyone we know and take every opportunity to write bad reviews on this property.

First off, the check-in process has changed where you don't go to the Lobby anymore (there are no employees onsite anymore) and they text you a code to get into your cabin. That's fine, technology is good. However, in the past if you got a wood-burning fireplace, they would give you 1 free bundle of firewood to start, and you could buy extra wood from the Lobby. Not anymore. You don't get anything free, and you need to drive to 7-11 to buy it. We bought our wood and get back our first night... there's no gas line to start the fire!! We had to go back and buy a firelog to start the fire! The previous cabins we stayed at ALL had a gas line to help start the fireplace. It looks like this cabin previously had one (it had the holes in the infrastructure) but was removed. Other than the fireplace, this cabin was in HORRIBLE condition. The entire property seems run-down but the current management are too cheap to fix it!! Bathroom: There was hardly any soap in the sink dispenser, so that ran out after the 1st day. They have a "4 in 1" soap for the shower, instead of individual shampoos and body wash, etc. That dispenser was full, but was almost falling off the wall!! It rotated every time you pressed on it. The sink faucet was very touchy, if you barely open it, the water doesn't come out fast enough to get warm. If you open the handle a little more, it SHOOTS out and sprays out everywhere, getting the sink and your shirt/pants wet!! Kitchen: They have a vintage looking refrigerator, which looks really cool. Too bad it didn't work! We had leftovers inside and the next morning we started smelling them... opened the fridge and it was room temperature!! Bed: Probably the WORST of all, the bed was terrible. Couldn't really sleep well at all! Mattresses look worn and old. The pillows were SO HARD and THIN that it was painful to lay on them, both of our necks were sore every morning!! (see picture) Heater: Another piece of garbage that should have been replaced years/decades ago! The thermostat is on the other side of the room (where it's much colder) and the heater is RIGHT next to the bed. So the heater keeps turning on all night and blasting hot air right next to you as you sleep. So it gets BLAZING hot in the middle of the night. And if you turn it down, it gets freezing cold. WiFi/Cable: The cable TV was a little pixelated and the box rebooted randomly (the manager already warned about it). She said the WiFi was "strong" and we could still stream anything if we wanted to watch movies. What a joke!!! The WiFi just barely connected and randomly cut out constantly! Even when connected, it was extremely slow! It took about 2-3 minutes just to load a website. How can you stream anything on this?! Oddly enough they had a WiFi router hooked up to the cable box in the cabin, with a 5-bar signal, but it was for TV only (No internet when connected). Not sure why they had this connection if it didn't do anything. I'm guessing they cut costs by getting rid of an internet connection in each cabin. Cheap. Overall: The cabin is marketed as "rustic" but it's a run-down piece of crap. There are holes patched in the wall from previous thermostats or light fixtures or whatever. One of the lights above the jacuzzi didn't work at all. We didn't even try the jacuzzi because of all the other issues, didn't want to get frozen or scalded in there. We could feel cold breezes in certain spots, so there are obviously holes or something where it's not insulated properly from outside. Not to mention 2 HUGE spiders running along the wall. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Pillows are like 2-3 inches thick and ROCK HARD!!! - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/i2cOdXrLGjUCbugdOTat_A/348s.jpg) Pillows are like 2-3 inches thick and ROCK HARD!!! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Anthony L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=x7QqW0xKRZ-DnmyNCZZ-bA)",

(The cabin is probably the only one that doesn't have a hot tub or jetted tub.) It was quiet, very affordable and my family will return again. The desk staff was great -- there was hot chocolate, board games and videos to grab (didn't try the pastries in the morning) -- and the cabin was adorable. Fireplace, cable TV, full kitchen (except for dishwasher). We were looking to get away for three days, and Sleepy Forest was exactly what we needed. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Lisa Marie M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/qDQBRjYQpm247YnI_0JyLg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=_27cALGoa60NEp9TF51yLg)",

When we arrived check in went smooth but we realized we were left with no toilet paper, no biggie it was brought to us after sending a message to the host. As we started to get dinner ready we realized that you are only given 2 small mugs, 2 spoons, and 2 placemats. No plates not even a bowl. Wifi also was not working the entire stay, water pressure in the shower is horrible, not to mention the fact we couldn't really use it because the knobs kept falling off. We were also told shampoo, conditioner, and body wash would be included, when we got there we realized it's 4 in 1 hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner. There was zero soap in the shower, when we messaged the host she told us to use the soap dispenser next to the sink (which is cemented to the counter) we had to use one of our mugs to bring soap into the shower. The mattress is a literal brick, our sheets felt super dirty and there were noticeable spots. We will be staying literally anywhere else next time, definitely not worth the $160 per night. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of John W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/lBJUj_sjWIZK0NQ-dn-Oow/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=uyECLW6QGpjA388oQ09uEQ)",

We had originally been in #17 but I wanted a wood burning fire place so Mark was kind enough to offer #4.

We definitely don't want anyone to hear other guests. We would love to know which room you stayed in? There are very few that are actually connected by 1 wall. with a jacuzzi it would either be 206 or 207 at Sleepy Forest Cottages, or 225 or 226 at Cathy's Cottages. We will look into this issue, but have previously made sure the walls could not be heard through. You may have had some loud neighbors. Some cottages might seem outdated, but we are constantly remodeling while trying to keep the ambiance and nostalgia, or coziness that many old styles create. All this said, we appreciate knowing whatever issues need attention and will always look into these issues. Most importantly, to all guests, PLEASE let us know while you are here with us what you think of the room and how your stay is going! We will do whatever we can to accommodate you and make you happy. Upgrades are always an option!

There was a lot to really enjoy but the best was the jacuzzi inside the room. It was huge and the water was always super hot and the shower was hot right when I got out of the tub. A little soap goes a very long way with bubbles, proceed with caution. The room and the spa were very clean, there was a sticker on the door with the name of the person and the date that our room was sanitized which was reassuring to me. Once inside it smelled clean and everything looked clean. I did take a bottle of Odoban and did a once over but it was during COVID paranoia. Whenever I stay anywhere I strip the bed and put on my own sheets and blanket but when tearing the bed apart our white linens were very white and clean. I read reviews about a rouge hair or two and myself having very long dark hair I find it silly that it would be a huge deal, even in the most immaculate environment one is bound to pop up, trust me, I know but I understand with COVID everyone needs to be on top of their game with cleanliness. I found the location to be really convenient, it was close to everything we wanted to do. We had several exchanges with the owner, we checked in after midnight and she was friendly and professional. Since we were both working remotely due to COVID we decided we wouod like to stay another night if they could accommodate us and she was very courteous and made the process easy and that extra night actually turned into 3 extra nights! I suppose one could find the rooms dated, I personally felt like they were cute and cozy and felt cabin like,I didn't mind the decor at all. We stayed in cabin 16, I was able to scope out 17 and has been updated recently and is more modern. They both cost the same so I would probably go with 17 it's really the best bang for your buck. Finding our cabin at night was fairly difficult if you are able to check in during the day I would definitely say do that. We eventually found our cabin, they all look the same and aren't marked terribly well. The parking is a bit tight I came straight from buying a new fairly expensive car so I had to park a few different times until I was satisfied I would avoid a door ding but that was probably new car paranoia and if you don't arrive after midnight like a dummy you'll probably have a better chance at choice parking. Once in the cabin I saw there was one of those QR codes on the wall for you to scan and when you do they offer a coupon code that can't be applied retroactively of course so I was kinda bummed by that because it only required a 3 day stay to receive the discount and we stayed over twice that long so perhaps it could have been offered. I found it online as well so before you book look online for coupon codes because they're available. I found booking straight from their website was less expensive than Expedia and the other travel sites. For the price I think this place is unbeatable. Just when you thought I was going to shut up I pop back up... I forgot to mention that one night a family checked into one of the family cabins and they were out until after 10 pm and they were loud eventually I called Cathy at the number she provides for you to call if you need anything and within 5 minutes she had sent someone to take care of the issue. I'm not sure if any of the cabins are pet friendly but I know that the one we stayed in was not and that was really the biggest issue we had. I have a 4 pound Yorkie with separation anxiety and he's grown quite accustomed to going everywhere with me so we had to hire a pet sitter and I really missed my Lil guy! I wish they allowed pets of a certain size with a deposit. Other than that I can't wait until it's time to go back. We went in the last week of April for my birthday and the weather was perfect. Not too cold but you still definitely get that mountain experience and since it's the off season everything is very affordable. Remember to look for that coupon code online and to book through their direct website and the price is unreal. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Mariaelena A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ygYHXxutnebXfLDq13U-Sg)",

We arrived late (after 9 PM) because of the long drive from Los Angeles and the lady in the office was still there waiting with our key. We drove over to the cabin and parked right in front (!!). The room was already warm inside and had a nice cozy decor that you would expect in a getaway cabin. The jacuzzi looked like it was brand new and the entire cabin was spotless clean. The next day we decided to extend our stay by one night while we were picking up firelogs in the office. The owner checked the reservations, said we were good to go, and threw in the firelogs, a candle, a votive, and some bath salts that my girlfriend had been eyeing. You can only get this kind of treatment at a family owned place! Even better, our room was reviewed in the local weekly newspaper while we were in town (albeit for being handicapped accessible, but I still scored points with the girlfriend)! We will definitely come back here again. The place was romantic, reasonably priced, clean, and the owners were lovely. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Clint L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/QUcCpofTv_VllBlTW2szuw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8tha7vytNjaYiuOjCyR8qg)",

I have lived on the East Coast for 2 decades and am familiar with snow. When I arrived, the steps to my cabin were covered in ice and snow, but I assumed it would be cleared in the morning...no such luck. The next morning I made my way to the coffee offered at the front desk and slipped and injured myself pretty badly on the walkway to the front desk. No one bothered to salt the area. To add insult to literal injury, I told the front desk and was brushed off. I hope they step up and take better care to de-ice and salt areas to reduce injury to clientele. THIS IS AN AMENDMENT: The owner called me the day after I posted this review and was very apologetic and expressed his concern and did his best to make amends. I have to upgrade my initial posting of just one star simply because of his compassion and concern. I will definitely be back. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) We responded below but also updated this since you updated your review :). We are so glad that you are OK and want to come back. We were very aware of your slipping right away, and we were very concerned. Cathy at the front desk was very concerned when you checked out but could not tell if you were hurt or upset. We planned to contact you directly about it. We have been working hard to get snow and ice up as our first priority all winter so far - we got more snow than we are used to, and as the ski resorts decided not to have a sell-out number - we have been busier than we could have ever expected. We shovel and ice-melt morning to night every day. We often get rain under snow making it a daily job to chop the ice up. The night you were here we had snow dumping out of the trees onto everything, and unfortunately you used the steps right before we were able to clear them. When you informed our office staff, we were notified immediately as it is a huge concern. Again, we appreciate your update, and can't wait to have you back!

      "traverse:reviewText": "[Jackie B.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=lhRgwxSV-9e2Yf881iAEkA) A couple of things to note about this place and a REALLY surreal experience to describe: We arrived and there were stains on the sheets and towels. We showed up late at night as the front desk person was leaving, so we ended up crashing without showering on top of the bed and decided to request new sheets and towels the next morning. We woke up and I called the front desk for new items, they said they'd send someone over, but no one came.. We scrambled to get ready without a shower (we had no clean towels!), which left us feeling kinda gross, and stopped by front desk on the way out for the day to remind them no one had stopped by, and then left hoping to return in a couple hours to a freshly cleaned place. I even took the dirty/stained sheets off the bed, and the dirty towels, and piled them in the corner with a 20 dollar tip in an envelope on top of it, and a little note asking to please replace the linens and clean up the room for us. Well, we came back late at night and found the 20 dollars gone, a couple of new towels hanging in the bathroom and the DIRTY SHEETS/BLANKETS STILL PILED UP IN THE CORNER WITH A BARE MATTRESS! The place was an absolute mess, and they didn't even take out the trash or make the bed!!! Pillows were on the floor, the stained sheets still piled in the corner - THE 20 DOLLAR TIP WAS GONE, and all they did was hang a few new towels in the bathroom. I was like what the heck?? Is this real life?? What kind of cleaning person in their right mind would walk in knowing they had a job to do, hang a few clean towels, and leave dirty blankets/sheets on the floor in the corner, with the pillows on the ground and a bare mattress and then TAKE THE 20 DOLLAR TIP? What the hell were they thinking? Are we supposed to put the dirty blankets/sheets back on the bed ourselves and make our own bed with stained sheets??? Are we supposed to take the trash out ourselves?? And the fact they had the nerve to take the 20 dollar tip and DO NOTHING was really horrible. I honestly couldn't believe it. I called the front desk and they were busy, said they'd call back in 5 minutes. No one called back. Called them again and asked them to please talk to me, because the situation was pretty bad - We were gone all day, had already spent one night there without showering, and all we wanted was a clean/comfortable place to stay!! The front desk person said he would be over shortly. To be fair, the front desk guy was not at fault here. He was super nice, kind, considerate and the moment he walked in and saw the place he knew the cleaning person had really messed up. He made sure and oversaw the cleaning of the place after that (we had to leave for a couple more hours so they could clean it) but still, I just couldn't believe that even happened? It made my experience kind of shitty, we didn't have a comfortable place to come back to all day, we were forced to kind of leave at night and figure things out while the place was being cleaned, and I couldn't even shower until the end of my stay. Once the place was clean, it was lovely and cute, although the hot water ran out quickly and they have strict/odd rules about the towels (you can't stain them or else you get charged I guess?). Which is ironic since everything was stained when we got there. The front desk person really turned it around for us, it's just such a shame that it took over half of our stay to have that happen. For 300 a night and a 20 dollar cleaning tip you'd expect clean linens and the bed made when you walk in. Or maybe I'm being a selfish brat, I don't know. :( ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Wheels G.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/JjQ2NAFkGyv_T_A9R5d1rA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=fScZjUVT27fwbeFRkiRUWg)",

Very close to the ski resort. The gas fireplace is the heater for the room. So all you have to do is set the temp for the room and on it goes. Gets the room very warm. It somewhat feels like a hotel room, because there aren't separate bedrooms its all in one room. However, it was very comfy. There are actually 2 Murphy beds and 1 queen size bed. They only have sheets on the 1 Murphy bed, and you would need to move the couch if you wanted to use the 2nd Murphy bed. But it was very nice. Everyone I spoke with was very nice and helpful. Prices were best in area. Definitely will use them again! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Margaret S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/19QQt5CK-G-nm0HL7gtMuQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=10NGIXEv9tA2OmMiYtjxrA)",

We love to snowboard in Big Bear and when we found this place, we were thrilled! It got great reviews here and on trip advisor, so we decided to give it a go. We have now made this our "romantic getaway" destination! The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the Cabins are private, cozy and welcoming. Each has a fire place, huge comfy bed, and giant Jacuzzi tub in the bedroom, a radio playing upon welcome, large televisions, large showers with duel shower heads and a fridge and microwave! They sell bubble bath in the office and firewood if your cabin is wood burning. The Sleepy Forest cottages are detached and quite, and Cathy Cottages are attached but are a bit larger. We love both :) They even give you romantic food recommendations! We suggest them to all our friends and will continue to return and make wonderful memories there. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Shelly G.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=TMonk_GiPkZPPcORSzEOyg)",

Checking in and out was easy and quick. We got a "honeymoon room" with a hot tub in it! It was very cozy and everything was clean. It's a great room for couples. And the shower was pretty sweet with 2 shower heads, on opposing walls! Great water pressure too. I definitely recommend this resort! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Julie V.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/M5WA72f1QmNqAJSlONv8rA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=GGBAf_gEEjyCz0mHW6FB3w)",

I mean, you're in the mountains. You have no choice. They know that. You expected it. So that means I ended up paying $$$ extra during my stay, right? Our stay here was amaze-balls. That's teenage-speak for awesome-suace; which is tumblr-speak for "great and thoroughly enjoyable". We rented the Southern Comfort, which was a cozy cabin about 300 yards from the office. The staff in the office were extremely kind and generously gave us wood and a starer log with our Yelp check-in. As we stumbled back into the cold, we were givevn recommendations for nearby restaurants and places to visit that evening before our snow day. Best three days of my life. \\* Southern Comfort (the cabin): It's Big Bear. It was winter time. It's gonna be cold. But that's great for your sore muscles after a long drive and to ease the whiplash after you snowboard (trust me). The full kitchen did not disappoint. We had everything except cooking oil (which was understandable). So don't forget to buy some if you planned to cook! One of the non-stick pots no longer had the non-stick effect, which made for hilarious omelettes in the morning. There was ONE bathroom. This limits the number of bodies you can comfortably accomodate. There were only three people in my group, so we had a good time taking turns at reasonable intervals. But I imagine this being a problem when you reach 4+ people sharing the cabin. The bedrooms were awesome. Great beds and clean sheets! I checked every single space in the rooms and it was clean and lacking mold or spider webs. The cleaning staff deserved all the tips in the world. I made the mistake of jumping headlong into my bed after a long day. It was like swimming in soft, sweet-smelling frozen water. You might want to invest in a homeless person to pre-warm your bed (joking). But seriously... The living area was fantastic. Cozy and in front of the fireplace. The TV was decent and operable (we were able to watch "Little Miss Sunshine" on DVD) but small and discouraging enough so that it forced you to do crazy things like interact with other human beings. The fire place is a must! They teach you how to use it properly, so listen to the instructions! It really makes a difference on those cold nights! There is a heater and we never ran out of hot water. But then again, I was the only one who showered regularly (the girls were "too cold to strip" -- their words, not mine) and we we wore three layers of pajamas the whole time. We did not find any bugs, though one of us had bug bites on her legs. Nothing outside the ordinary when you're in the freaking mountains. Do not come here expecting the mundane. Don't stay indoors and watch YouTube videos. Go to the lake, take jumping pictures in the snow, and sing aloud on the car ride up and down the mountainside. 1\. Bring extra warm clothes. I forgot to bring extra jackets. So when all my jackets got wet and soggy from snowboarding, I had the distinct honor of freezing to death whenever we went outside the cabin. 2\. Bring good comapny. I have awesome lab partners, but you may not. So don't bring the sour grapes or the whiners. Bring fun people who are willing to play "Heads Up" with you and talk about life as the embers die down in the fire place. 3\. Bring a good chef and someone who loves to cook. They make life worth living. 4\. Don't be afraid to ask. The front desk was amazing when we asked them anything. Just know that they are real people and they are usually only "open" from sunrise to sunset. I never had to call them afterhours. 5\. Don't depend on the WiFi. If your life is dependent on the internet, you will be disappointed. The Wifi was spotty, which was actually a good thing. Again, it forced us to stop checking our Facebook and Instagrams and make actual memories not measured in megabytes. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Marwin, thanks for the hilarious and nice review! We thoroughly enjoyed reading this. We hope you can come stay with us again soon, and maybe try some other cabins or cottages! Most other cabins and cottages have newer and larger flat-screen TV's, and better WiFi, although Southern Comfort is a very popular cabin. We are in the midst of trying to make the WiFi in that cabin better. Thanks again, see you next time!

Our cottage was homely, spacious, and had full amenities. It really felt more like a second home than any hotel, and the owner's friendliness was more like a host than just a hotel staffer. Even outside of the main village downtown (just past Stanfield Cutoff), this location actually put us close to the hiking trails on the north side of the lake, and was still only a short drive to the restaurants in town. I think the best part of the weekend was the peace of just staying in the cottage, leisurely enjoying the jacuzzi tub, and actually letting the stress melt away. I don't know if I've ever stayed anywhere else when the room was more of an attraction than the destination, but we're definitely going to stay here again when we need some time off. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Shannon W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/ZfJHSjnuqqSlOnKYp72xgg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=I4aAsGzsa8zEgUBvQcEEPw)",

It was a very small studio with a queen bed, a table for two, bathroom and a kitchen with a; sink, mini fridge and a microwave. It was all we needed for our little get away. The parking was very easy and close to the cabin, there is also a small yard of grass with lights and chairs outside.

Each jacuzzi cottage has 2 huge water heaters in order to fill the tubs with hot water. If hot water is used up prior to filling the tub, you will run out. It is best to make sure hot water is not used within a couple hours prior to filling the tub. We also have the best faucets we can get for our jacuzzi tubs. they don't get much bigger, and it takes some time to fill the tub, but it is well worth the wait! We hope you can enjoy the other amenities while the tub is filling :) Thanks again.

Checked in with the super friendly staff and were on our way. Got halfway there and got a call that they had given us the wrong room key. When we finally arrived the cottage was cute- great size, clean, nice porch, convenient parking. The bed was entirely uncomfortable- sinkhole in the middle. This particular one was attached to another cottage by a door and when the neighbors got a little rowdy it was very loud. The front door was a glass door that had a transparent design that was pretty but at night the lights from the circle K across the street brightly shone through. The wireless Internet also didn't work, was told they were having problems.

We are upset that you had some issues and did not entirely enjoy your stay. Rooms 228 and 227 at Cathy's Cottages are attached and close to the highway, which is why the rates on those rooms are so low. They are nice and with the AC or fans on and doors shut any outside noise is usually avoided. We have since this made sure the window is covered and checked the beds. We constantly replace beds and mattresses as well as re-adjust the beds. Our MAIN concern with all of our guests is that you let us know right away what you think of the room or if there are any problems. We would have liked to check the bed and probably re-adjust it, and we love to know when something needs to be replaced. We highly recommend staying in a jacuzzi cottage with us, and we offer cheap upgrades (default $20 more per night for any available room on arrival!). We also always work to keep the FREE WiFi running and our property quiet and peaceful. Thanks again.

During the winter snowing days, if it is back to back, the check-in time is around 5 pm, because previous customer can't check out on-time due to snow removal schedule and road condition, it was written on the all booking websites. In the morning, an office staff work remotely, she is connected on a iPad, and she is able to communicate with guest.

We were greeted by Mark at the front desk. He confirmed our reservations and handed us the keys to a very clean, and cute cottage. My Amanda loved the dual facet showers! Although with the jacuzzi next to the fireplace we never needed the shower ;) We picked this place because not only did it have a friggin hot tub in the living room, but also it was within our budget, considering it was during the week of Halloween 2013. Once we checked out we asked Mark if we could see their big cottages and he gladly gave us a few keys to some AMAZING houses for rent. We will definitely be coming back with friends! Or we might just keep this as our little secret ;) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Perfect getaway. - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/89H9K8CX1AHuaCl5OrHMew/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/vnHGW7ofPw782F9btxIGQQ/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Outside our cottage - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/JBPY3Uab3CHXxndGBTWvzg/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - A moment of rest between jacuzzi dips. - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/AeTycg3U3b992WzzeM0bXw/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Kenneth Y. for Sleepy Forest Cottages](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?userid=Ct5fIARF8IOfmLRwQW-L8A) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Ron S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/V3Um8B4d1qFFeMxft3pC8A/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=neULFp-abP38X-wnJMb2Cg)",

This particular cabin does not get dark. It has blinds but they do not work properly. If you are a night-owl and sleep late DO NOT get cabin 13. It seems to us that all the jacuzzi's here sound like old 57 Chevy's! They work, but are so loud you cannot hear yourself think, let alone watch TV or carry a conversation with your loved one. Cabin 13 had shower faucet issues too, the shower head came off and almost landed on my foot. Always some little quirk with the cotteges at Sleepy Forest. The location is good, having your own cabin is nice... McDonalds is a stone-throw away too! I just don't think we can stay here again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) We are very sorry you did not enjoy cabin 13. We love that cottage, but are now looking into these issues you've made us aware of. To all guests, PLEASE contact us during your stay with any issues or concerns, or just let us know how you like it! We want to address these issues right away and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We did actually fix the shower knob, which had come loose, but did not find any shower head issues. The blinds are being replaced and updated. The jacuzzi's have been in some cottages a while, and jacuzzi jets do make noise. We are sorry that was bothersome to you, and appreciate your feedback. Please come back and let us try another cottage on you! We have a large variety. Again, we ask and urge to hear your feedback while you are here with us! thanks, Josh, Manager.

We got the tall pines cabin and everything inside was top of the time from the kitchen utensils, cooking ware, fridge, stove, bathrooms everything. It was so well kept. It had a really big back year, garage and drive park for you to park. It was perfect for 8-10 people. It was closed to everything around big bear just minutes of driving distances. The price is always very adorable compared to other places, so I highly recommend it. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Living room - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/9Gv4oTECIA7d3jUdfwa7YA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - tall pines cabin - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Nvn4LIfvGyPGO1m_P4Y0rQ/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Kitchen - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/6_OElUJ8EHThwGJJ9qdFUg/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Wendie L.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/rz9eAG3q8dx2ARBETmVS_A/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Y__A0Wv4DjTGfD0a_68Udg)",

In the kitchenette, for example, we had a can-opener, \*2\* cork screws, salt and pepper, and enough dishes for our family of 3 to avoid asking for anything. Only room for improvement was we'd have liked the cabin to have more coffee stocked. There was only enough for 2 cups (I had one, the wife had one). I don't know about you, but I can't ski on 1 cup of coffee. :-) In the bathroom, \*all\* the basic toiletries were stocked: shampoo, conditioner, shampoo + conditioner, toothpaste, soap. I'm surprised at how often you have to \*ask\* for these things now-a-days. That's a change in the industry I really dislike. That didn't happen here! 24-hour drive-thru McDonald's is walking distance. I know I know, you can't \*walk\* to the drive-thru - the point is it's close if you're desperate to eat. 7-11 is across from that if you need something the staff can't supply. The property is a less than 10-minute car ride to Snow Summit, Big Bear, K-Mart, Vons or Stater Brothers. But I've not told you about the staff, which is the best part! Josh is courteous, reasonable, accommodating - right down to the "how do you start a fire in this fireplace?" call I made after hours. I don't think there's a better value out there. This place has the best price:service ratio I think I've ever seen in Big Bear lodging. 5 thumbs up! :-) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Jett, thanks for the wonderful review!

Cozy room #13 offered a comfy warm bed, fireplace, jacuzzi and a shower with 5 shower-heads! The grounds were kept nicely, surroundings quiet and we got the romantic R&R we needed. The staff was kind and helpful, room clean, and location totally convenient to downtown and lake activities. Just 2 hours from LA, we will come back here often. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=220) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=190) [21](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=200) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=210) [23](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=220) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=240) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=250) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=240) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

This aside i didn't let that bother me until on day 2 when it started snowing and there was a huge leak in the cieling only a couple feet away from the bed. A guy on site came to help us and said quote "oh shit my bad this has never happened before management will definitely call you they should reimburse you a little, so sorry about this".

I've seen a few complaints that they are run down but if you look at the photos this isn't a fancy resort! It feels homey and warm and what I want when I head up the mountain for a couple of cozy nights. I loved every minute of our stay! The employees were delightful and very quick to respond to any questions I had. Our heater was having issues and the staff came by and dropped off a space heater at 10 in the evening!

Definitely went above and beyond, gave a bottle of champagne to celebrate my fiancés birthday, also received the two free Yankee candles for checking in via yelp. Over all, check in was a great experience. We stayed in room 17, great choice. Room is spacious, clean, well kept. Love the location, parking is right next to it. The hot tub is a great addition, huge points for that. Perfect for the price! (Paid a little under 300 for 2 nights) Over all, great place! Definitely recommend it for couples get aways. It's beautiful scenery & the atmosphere of the cottages make for a romantic stay. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Shiki N.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/qrN-Ij5n-Yt1qjuCW4ml6w/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=LavJk7Vksq5u9z3u7-4EyA)",

The rooms were modest but very clean and comfortable. The bathroom looks recently renovated. When the front desk told us that the gas fireplace worked on a thermostat and doubled as the heater I was a little worried that we'd be sleeping in an ice box, man that thing works great!! Our room (cabin 7) could sleep 3 couples: one queen bed and 2 double sized Murphy beds. I was a little worried about those too because I thought they'd be uncomfortable like a sofa bed but because they are supported by a solid piece of wood under the mattress and not a couple of bars it was completely fine. This place is priced really reasonably, I stay in Big Bear a few weekends a year and I've found my new go-to place to stay. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Steph, thanks for the great review! I think this is actually cabin #8 (228) at Cathy's Cottages, which is connected to #7 (227). Those are the 2 "motel" style rooms at Cathy's, but a little more private and much nicer than a "motel room". All the other cottages at Cathy's are Jacuzzi Cottages. It is great to get a review on that room, we don't get many, and are so glad the murphy beds are enjoyed! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again!

Our room did have these features... sort of. The Wi-Fi is fine, but the INTERNET bandwidth is unusable most of the time. The front desk said it is an ongoing issue with their Internet provider, and they cannot do anything about it. Bottom line, the advertised Wi-Fi was basically not provided, and should not be advertised. There is indeed a TV and a DVD player. However, the DVD player is a very old model that they apparently lost the remote control for. It is not possible to play any DVD that requires any navigation through an on-screen menu (i.e., almost every DVD). If it works by just inserting it and pressing "play" on the DVD player, then you're good. Otherwise, you are SOL. After playing (or trying to play) a DVD, it was not possible to get the TV to see more than one TV station. It required a magic sequence of turning off the DVD player, selecting the right TV input, unplugging the power from the cable box, waiting a certain amount of time, then plugging in the cable box and waiting about 5-10 minutes for it to find all the channels. Again, the bottom line is they advertised features of the room that they did not provide. I was surprised that there did not appear to be any housekeeping service. We stayed for 3 nights, and the only thing we got was a staff member coming to the door offering us fresh towels. We had to go ask for TP when it ran out. The bed was never made. The room was not swept or otherwise cleaned. I concluded that they must consider it to be like an extended stay place where housekeeping only services the room every few days. I was even more surprised just before I started this review to read other reviews that talked about housekeeping service. So now I am surprised and confused! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Ali K.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/coniPlXtFlAtJ2vlzJJdOw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=FQ8ThqUvRRDnKD095nFSjQ)",

We selected their Cedar Pines , one bedroom, one bath, private home. We found the reservations process very accommodating and the staff very friendly. we arrived at about 9 pm, checked in and were given keys and directions to the house. Upon entering, we found the cabin welcoming us with the heat on, very clean and well maintained. There was a full kitchen with amenities, dishes, microwave and coffee maker. the house had a loft also, but it was closed to visitors, but I assume ther was another sleeping area up thre. There were two fireplaces, one gas the other electric and a very small, un-fenced yard, with a nice soothing spa- wonderful after a day on either of the nearby slopes of Snow Summit or Bear valley. the cabin was well situated. There were two TV's- one in the living room and a very, very small 13 inch tv in the bedroom- (could be larger). The cabin was cozy, private and we also had free wi-fi and local telephone. The only downside was our being responsible for removing our trash at the end of our stay, which required us to pack two smelly bags of trash in our car and take it several miles down the road to a waste company, following a long line of cars waiting to do the same. Overall, we were very happy with our stay there. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thank You for the nice review! A couple things we would like to respond to. The upstairs of this cabin, by city law per inspection, has to be off limits to guests. The owner and us all love the upstairs loft and wish we could use it. Also, all Transient Private Home Rentals in Big Bear require guests to take their own trash. Another item we don't necessarily like, but have to do. Since the TPHR's are "Private Home Rentals", more terms and conditions apply. But Cedar Pines is one of our favorite cabins that we rent, very nice and well-kept by the owners, we highly recommend it.

First we were going to stay in #6 honeymoon cottage (I believe), but I really wanted a full kitchen and a wood burning fireplace. #6 had a small kitchenette and gas burning fireplace. We asked to upgrade and the accommodated. The rates were expensive, but I know it was because of the holiday weekend. We paid about $600 for two nights, however it was much needed and so worth it. My boyfriend loves to grill and there was a cute little back area with two chairs and a charcoal grill. One of the things that I really loved is that it's walking distance to 7 eleven just in case you forgot something. Their is also a Mc Donalds at the corner. Overall, I would definitely recommend this cute place. We rarely.spoke to the people at the front desk, so I don't have anything to say about them besides they accomadated my needs before check in. Very interested in checking out some of their other cabins. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/aDxRrjSWDFO5VdxzxwGeHw/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hello Dee, thanks for the awesome review and picture!

      "traverse:reviewText": "[Tina P.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=CPcsyLPzEbWeGGDk4bbB6g) We chose the tasteful A-frame cabin duplex with a fireplace and outdoor jacuzzi. The registration/check-in was about a 5 min drive from our cabin. There you receive your keys and sign waivers (specifically stating you will clean up after check out). Super friendly front desk person. Pros: good priced package = 2 night stay + 2 lift tickets @ $415. I'm huge on cleanliness so I was happy to see the cabin was clear of clutter and had been cleaned. The kitchen was fully stocked with a rice cooker, blender, pots/pans, spice rack etc. w/ a separate island counter. This was great for us, because we had plans to cook all weekend. The fireplace runs on gas so no need for starters - we simply turned the gas up, lit a match, and threw our firewood in (you can purchase your wood at any supermarket $5-$10). The cabin itself has its own indoor heating too, so I was never cold. The bedroom had a space heater that made the room comfortably toasty :). We were also pleased to find there was a small standard grill outside - we bought some charcoal and used their fuel fluid. Granted, the grill had been used previously, so we had to clean it before use. The bathroom was clean and stocked with fresh towels and soap. Location is superb, literally down the block from Big Bear Mountain. Cons: the site advertised it as a duplex and from the pictures of the bedroom, it appeared the bedroom was located upstairs. Turned out the stairway had signs of being off limit and not for rent by Big Bear. It must be a family home, as there definitely were beds upstairs. In any case, it was kind of misleading. The couch was pretty outdated, you know, kinda like your grandparents couch with little fuzz balls everywhere. We found that the TV was something from the 1960s - probably the reason why the nearby Blockbuster is still thriving. Silly urbanites, we had brought our AppleTV thinking we could stream Netflix etc, but TVs back then didn't have HDMI. No big deal, the TV had basic cable and a dvd player, so off to Blockbuster we went (Yes, they still exist lol). The bathroom doesnt get heat, but no big deal, leave the door open. The jacuzzi was nice and clean but the water could have been a tad bit hotter. I think the biggest con despite all these listed, was the fact we had to vacuum the floor, take out the trash (off site)..which took about 30 to 40 mins. It was kind of annoying to do all this before packing up our car and heading to the mountain. I don't mind doing the dishes etc, but isn't this why they hire cleaning services? And yes, you must clean otherwise you might get charged with a cleaning fee. Overall, I still give it a 4 stars because I had a great time! Though some things were a bit outdated, I needed a break from the hustle and bustle anyway. I still think the cabin was warm and inviting, and probably the best choice at Big Bear :). ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Tina, thanks for the review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Cedar Pines. That is one of our favorite cozy little houses to rent out. The BBQ should have been cleaned, sorry about that. Upon reading this we are making note and cleaning it today, making sure the spa is always nice and hot, and cleaning the couch. I am very curious as to where Cedar Pines was called a "Duplex"?? It should not be and is not on our site where you can view/book the cabin...? It is described as 1 bedroom with a queen bed and couch bed in the living room for kids... I'm also glad to hear you made due with the old fashion TV and couch :) We usually send guests to Red Box, surprised Blockbuster is still open as well! We do have other Private Vacation Homes, cabins and cottages here at Sleepy Forest with more updated flat screen TV's and such if you want to bring your Apple TV for another stay! As for the required cleaning, the terms and conditions we have you sign in detail at check in are all required by law. We do not like asking guests to clean, and are not too strict with it either, but are required to due to Transient Private Home Rental laws. We are actually the only TPHR Rental Agency we know of in Big Bear that does not charge a separate cleaning fee, all other Private Home rentals, you will find, charge an extra cleaning fee, usually around $150, AND still require that you clean and take trash! We decided a couple of years ago to cut that fee and eat the cost in order to book more cabins and strive more to leave guests pleased. Privately owned homes are different from lodges or hotels. The up-side is that you get your own house. The requirements are not the same for our Sleepy Forest or Cathy's Cottages of course. Give me a call when you want to return and I will give you all of our options and a good deal! Thanks, Josh P., Manager. - [![Photo of Misha B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Pbgaa1LlQPskZhTkCq77Xw)",

Aimee S. and Leslie A. had recommended this place to me and told me how great the place was. First of all, they were by far the cheapest place we could find for the holiday weekend. Second, their online reservation was very easy and informative. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a room that was animal friendly, but we did wait till the last minute. Our reservations was for Cathy's Cottages but we needed to go to Sleepy Forest to check-in and receive our keys. I saw a card for a $55 massage; I was tempted but we already planned out our weekend. Upon entering into our cabin, we noticed that it didn't smell like hotel. I did some inspection and noticed that it was super clean. This was the cleanest I have ever seen a rental. The cabin came with a fire place that worked and kept our room nice and toasty at night. I slept like a baby all weekend and not once felt uncomfortable. My boyfriend and I agreed that we would definitely use this company again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from the city. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Charay C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/-eORLM-3rzUscpzQYxOCrg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4V_3imo4xqMBubI-dTv13w)",

It was so bad my girlfriend and I left the hotel at 11pm, canceled our entire stay, and check into a Holiday In down the street. To start off, we walk into our single bedroom studio and are greeted with an old, dusty type of smell. My first instinct was then to look at the sheets. I pulled back the sheets and saw stains and long black hairs in the sheets I was supposed to be sleeping in (see images). I immediately called the front desk and, luckily, they changed the sheets; although, the new sheets had large light brown stains in some areas... I was hoping that was the extent of it, but throughout the night we found hair in and around the bathtub and shower, as well as dried pomegranate seeds near the faucite (which I had originally thought was rodent droppings.) It was very obvious that this room wasn't even cleaned after the previous guests left. There was a mirror on the ceiling that projected directly over the bed, that originally looked dirty, as if there was a oily film over it. After closer inspection, I realized it wasn't an oily film, it just the glass itself. It seemed like one of those one way mirrors that is a mirror on one side, but from the other side you can see through it. The weirdest thing, was that this was the only mirror in the room that was like this... and it happened to look directly over the bed... The entire time we were there (from the time we arrived until we left that same night), it seemed as if someone was watching us. There was an incredibly eerie and creepy atmosphere that was extremely uncomfortable to be in. We finally decided to leave so that we can have a comfortable sleep elsewere. I reached out to the manager, Sean Si, and he had no interest in refunding or compensating us for the terrible experience. I am so utterly frustrated and disgusted by my experience that I do not plan on using Airbnb in the future. My best advice would be DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. It was such a terrible experience, I wouldn't wish this upon anybody. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Dirty hairy sheets. - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Mt5Bu0RKeeoMHZDgK3Kz_Q/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Sheets were never cleaned. - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/2BG41XIX6yBJpRZbRQZ4bA/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thank you for your comments.

The bathroom also had no hot water and the shower was out in the open with only one soap that said it was "all in one" meaning no separate shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. There was also a jacuzzi tub in the room however I did not go in considering it was dirty. It took me a long time trying to figure out how to turn the TV on and when I did it kept turning off randomly then had to wait a few mins for it to turn back on.

Learned how to snowboard with my girlfriend and stayed for 2 nights from 1/18-1/20. Finding the place and checking in was so simple. As I do with all places I plan to stay in, I had done a bunch of research and read reviews about this place along with checking out pictures of each and every cabin. I decided to go with #7 and it didn't disappoint. Lots of fast food nearby, the closest being McDonald's with just a couple minute walk up the street. I love all things small and cozy and our cabin was perfect as it is their smallest and oldest cabin that included the jetted tub and fireplace. Hot water came out right away and the jets were very soothing. Even though we didn't use them, the complimentary bathroom amenities were a generous addition. Super convenient that the room included a fridge, microwave, and a sink, along with plenty of utensils. We enjoyed some Disney movies and other classics from the office. Loved the fact that they were VHS tapes; brought back so many memories. Will definitely come back here again! ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Standing in the entrance of the room, beautiful morning view of fresh snow - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/xlkA5tl1OT7bdNlhFQZ6fw/348s.jpg) Standing in the entrance of the room, beautiful morning view of fresh snow ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Dennis S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/MHxNG4vnj1mR7EL0jQDB2g/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ssa3XHNw-VMA7zqFir3qUA)",

Found this place after researching and researching all over google, yelp, etc. We stayed at the privately owned vacation rental cabin called Southern Comfort. It was FANTASTIC! We were able to bring our dog (small pet deposit of $25.00) and when you check in on yelp, they give you either a cork of wood or two Yankee candles. The cabin was awesome and very roomy for myself, my husband our 4 year old and our 100 pound dog. The backyard is fenced in and has it's own jacuzzi (although it was snowing so we could not use). The Internet access was a little slow, but we really did not care. The staff was awesome and very pleasant. Tip, if you live in SoCal and you do not have snow gear, wait to buy what you need at the Big 5 down the street. They have a great selection and it is not overpriced (like it would be if you tried buying stuff in say, Santa Monica's Big 5). ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Gabriela S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/25GjLroaiI4NEkUW8LydYA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=TowWY0i4_jqL3bHrhetQfQ)",

Really wanted to like this place a lot. The price is amazing and it comes with a kitchenette. What more could you want? We stayed at cabin #5 and of course it was a bit run down with paint peeling. There was still burnt wood leftover from the previous people so we thought maybe we could still use the wood and tv remote wasn't working. Tried using their phone to call front desk but of course their phone wasn't working or it was disconnected? Anyways just used my cellphone and called their front desk EXCEPT their front desk is all the way in Colorado. Anyways Cathy sent a repair man to our cabin to start our fire and new batteries for our remote. It took 30 minutes for him just to get there. He comes with batteries for the remote, but to turn on the tv you use the buttons on the back and then you can use the remote? We also asked him if he could start the fire for us. He said that we would need a fire starter and that we would need to empty out the wood that have been previously used. I guess housekeeper was supposed to clean out the fireplace but didn't. So we went to 7/11 bought wood and the fire starter, came back and we started the fire place. No problem we ate our dinner then the disaster happened. I guess the fireplace vent wasn't opened because of course housekeeping didn't clean it from the previous night. We tried to open the vent but smoke kept accumulating and the fire alarm started going off. I called Cathy and she would send someone to our cabin. Five minutes go by and the smoke was getting unbearable we were helpless and couldn't think of what to do. We had to evacuate the little cottage. Smoke alarm kept going off and the carbon monoxide went off as well. Our eyes were getting watery. We waited and waited another 5 mintues go by we decided to call Cathy again and she said someone would come then hung up the phone. We were looking for a fire extinguisher but there was none inside. It took about 15 mintues for a maintance guy to come to the cabin. He checked the outside and saw that the smoke wasn't going through the vents. He opened all the windows and turned off the smoke alarm. Finally things started to settle down and we went back inside. The carbon monoxide alarm still went off. He turned it off and we asked him is it safe for us to be inside? He claimed that the carbon monoxide alarm was going off because it got too hot. He also said that this was the only time this incident ever happened. Well maybe because housekeeping didn't clean the place properly? At that point I didn't even want to be there but since we only paid for one night thought we could stick it out. We just got settled in for the night and just decided to turn on their old heater system. It was very loud and didn't heat the whole place up. The bed was also very squeaky and random black spots kept appearing even when we dusted them off the bed. To the owners of this place I recommend having a fire extinguisher inside the older cottages that have the older fireplace. Also would like to see maintenance people appear faster because as far as I saw they were only behind our cottage. As for my experience with this place I don't think I'd ever come back to this place. The outside looks perfect but the inside looked like it was deteriorating but slapped on a fresh coat of paint to make it look "nice." Also be warned not all the cabins/cottages comes with a spa. Really wanted to love this place because of all the reviews. Downside of this place is really their customer service. You have to speak to the owner who is all the way in Colorado just to get some help in the cabin which is in Big Bear, CA.

It had everything we needed. Great price, super friendly staff and great location. We were greeted in the parking lot by a man who was super friendly and asked a bunch of questions about the room after he saw we were staying in the "attic" and he wanted to make sure that everything was to our liking. Later found out that the man in the parking lot was the owner Bob, which made my impression of the place that much better because of the interest he showed. The only downfall of Grandma's attic was the heater. We turned it on hours before we were gonna be in the room for the night and the room barely heated up. Good thing we brought extra blankets from home. We will DEFINITELY stay here again! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi, thanks for the nice remarks! Grandma's Attic usually stays very warm, but if it ever seems cold we are happy to loan out extra room heaters. Along with trying to meet and talk to everyone that stays with us, we love to know how your stay is going while you are here, please be sure to call us next time if there are any issues such as the heater not working (or not working fast enough). My Dad, Bob, is the owner and the one you met. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks, Josh, Manager. - [![Photo of Donna S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/hptHL-L37_TOdR5c7HDfPg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=HPlD-56FaUvWgeebszsKzg)",

The house was just as described by the staff, who were very helpful in selecting a property and suggesting where to eat an play, upon arrival. The location was perfect and the house was just right for the 2 of us, so we could have separate living and sleeping areas. The only thing that would make it better is if they had wi-fi and an indoor jacuzzi tub, however, I knew neither of these amenities were available, when I booked the property. Thank you to the owners of Country Pine for allowing us a relaxing weekend in your beautiful home. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Mandi, thanks for the great review! We love Country Pine Cottage and it is one of the only 2 houses we rent that has an outdoor spa. We like the outdoor spa for the woodsy outdoors feeling it gives, but of course we have plenty of cottages with in room spas and Free WiFi as well at our lodge! We'd love for you to try one of those cottages next time, just visit sleepyforest.com. Thanks!

Place was clean, except could use a broom outside to sweep off the deck. Had chairs on deck.Lot of staff. When coffee makes did not work, staff brought a new one within 20 min. Fireplace worked. Half the jets in the jacuzzi worked, enough. Heater was slow to heat up the room, but did its job. Plenty of hot water for jacuzzi. Good price. Had soap, shampoo. Even new sponge at sink. No bugs and in the amongst lots of trees. 7-11 and Mc Donald's 200 yards up a very small hill. Some have wood fireplaces. Plenty of trash cans. Bad: jacuzzi half the jets worked. Room needed major upgrade. No chair. Room was very small. Toilet kept running. Glass around jacuzzi needed changing. Place needed major upkeep. Outside (including banisters needed painting) bad. Needed a wall and baseboard finishing.

I knew nothing about Big Bear in regards to location/cabins/etc so I turned to Yelp and TripAdvisor. I'm so glad I did! We stayed in #9 "Honeymoon Hideout" and it was perfect! Parking is right outside the steps (more on that in a minute lol) and the place itself is spacious. There are french doors, a king size bed, a HUGE jetted tub next to a wood burning fireplace (dont forget the wood!), a double headed shower, small (very warn out) sofa, and a kitchenette area with a microwave, sink, and mini fridge. We brought our own blanket and were so happy we did because it gets cold! The heater works great but I found myself either way too hot or too cold so we opted to leave it at 70ish and used our blankets to stay warm. We brought our own towels due to their strict linen rules (thanks for the heads up), wine, premade meals (breakfast burritios for the mornings, Chinese food for the evening), tons of snacks (of course, we made smores!) and spent the majority of our time in the cottage. We did visit Himalayan Restaurant one day for lunch, which is lovely if you like Indian food. While attempting to get out our parking space at the cottage we got stuck in the snow/ice and had to call the front for help. It was our fault, they did warn us that the previous couple prior to us said the driveway was icy and they offered us a parking spot near the office but we didn't want to walk in the cold on ice with all of our stuff so that was that. A gentleman from the office was kind enough to help us get our truck out of the spot and offered tips for next time. There is a McDonalds abt 2 minutes away, as well as a 7-11. The only thing I regret not bringing movies (we did go to Stater Bros and rented from Redbox) because there is no TV guide and it's pretty basic cable..... and slippers. Even though the cabin was nice and cozy the floor was still crazy cold! I didn't get a chance to write in their nifty little notebook next bed (grr next time!) Anyway, we plan on returning when there isn't snow so that we can walk to the lake since it's so close and perhaps stay in a different cabin =) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - #9   "Honeymoon Hideout"  (Panoramic view) - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/0RoxGdtQY8QbmqTW6pke2w/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - #9   "Honeymoon Hideout"  small tv, wood fire place, awesome jetted tub! - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/63-jvMBdzMuWX7EpwFtdvg/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - #9   "Honeymoon Hideout"  perfection - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/wq9utizeh23Amh3qoIz-3Q/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - #9   "Honeymoon Hideout" - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/PHsrB7thBffWCPwNpTe2rg/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Rene N. for Sleepy Forest Cottages](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?userid=9VM5Xw2voYlQJa8wgdzWng) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Ashley K.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/Mms3y7j0kwxuARh3RJGVnA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=o7YH54agYzQDpz39eiv1-w)",

We stayed in cabin 201. We had a wonderful time and I am already longing to return. Our cabin was great, there was a separate bedroom from the main living area, which had both a jacuzzi tub and a wood-burning fireplace. We made use of both of these features every day we were there. Our unit also had a full kitchen (minus a dishwasher). This was nice because we were able to chose which meals to eat in or out. We did have one issue. The day after we arrived, we left our cabin and left the sign up for maid service. We were away for several hours and when we returned, our room had not yet been serviced. My husband went to the office and they gave us fresh towels, and for the rest of our stay, they made sure that our room was taken care of. The people in the office were very helpful with suggestions of where to dine, etc. I know that they have larger family cabins, and I am looking forward to coming back here with our daughter. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=50) [3](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=20) [4](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=30) [5](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=40) [6](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=50) [8](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=70) [9](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=80) [10](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=90) [11](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=100) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=70) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

I would recommend this spot to anyone and I can't wait to visit Big Bear again, and hopefully next time there is lots of snow. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=210) [19](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=180) [20](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=190) [21](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=200) [22](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=210) [24](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=230) [25](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=240) [26](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=250) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=260) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=230) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) [![Big Bear Cool Cabins](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/XhxwRO7BULDTfXvTAuyMFg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=WwZfI93Fdhl6-_MKXzxS5Q&campaign_id=EjglUMKQVhY0crKM4-TCFQ&click_origin=biz_avatar&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fbig-bear-cool-cabins-big-bear-lake%3Fhrid%3D8UHSnvtygJOjMgPKY4P0WQ&request_id=30bdec79a400d299&signature=345d680ace17debd0a6f736ad3606ae0590277d729b86d4c044c9a707f94a865&slot=0) [Big Bear Cool Cabins](https://www.yelp.com/adredir?ad_business_id=WwZfI93Fdhl6-_MKXzxS5Q&campaign_id=EjglUMKQVhY0crKM4-TCFQ&click_origin=business_name&placement=below_biz_review&placement_slot=1&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Fbig-bear-cool-cabins-big-bear-lake&request_id=30bdec79a400d299&signature=8b434aa93338e8265cb6efb460c79790b0822bc0a21d19978685a863cf18a91e&slot=0) **1.3 miles** away from Sleepy Forest Cottages Andrea A. said"After writing my review on here I was contacted by the manager which she was very kind and offered me a discount to give them another try.

The staff are so friendly and conversational. When we checked in, they had some vacant cottages and upgraded us to a larger cottage with a jacuzzi. You can also get free candles if you check in on Yelp. The cottage itself was very nice--perfect for a romantic getaway or for a family. It was clean and cozy, with a large queen-sized bed, a fireplace, flat-screen TV, and a kitchen counter with a cabinet that contains utensils, plates/bowls, cups (including wine glasses), and paper towels and dish soap. Pretty much anything you need to have a night in or a morning breakfast before heading out. There's even a plush couch if you want to curl up with a blanket and watch a movie at night (they offer complementary movie rentals too!). They really are about comfort here. The only downside we could see was the toilet paper--it's not the best quality, but this is a nit-picky detail. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by the amenities available in the cottage and the service from the staff. We enjoyed our stay with Sleepy Forest and would definitely stay again! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Audrey, Thank you for the great review!

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and thought it would be fun to rent a hotel for a night somewhere out of town. While searching for a place online to stay in Big Bear, we came across Sleepy Forest Cottages. It had great reviews and the pictures of the cottages on their website looked great so we decided to try it. We ended up going with the mini moon suite and loved it! When we went to check in, my husband and I were blown away by the friendliness of the staff. It was our first time in Big Bear and not only were they extremely warm and welcoming from the start but they also recommended places for us to eat. My husband had already picked out a place for us to eat for dinner and the staff offered to call over to schedule a reservation for us given that the restaurant was about to stop serving soon. When we got to our room, it was very cozy feeling as well as clean. Although there are no comforters on the beds, we asked for an extra and they delivered one right to our door. We were plenty warm despite the fact that it was even snowing that night. When we checked out in the morning, once again they recommended places for us to go for breakfast (Grizzly Manor which ended up being just as amazing as they said it would be). We were blown away by the friendliness and willingness to accommodate us in any way we might need. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future and cannot wait to come back. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thank you Cristy, for the great comments and for letting us know you appreciated our staff! - [![Photo of Cheryl M.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oIrZ8ho0Ou8ClbiEH106uA)",

The reason one might ask is because we have been here a few other times in the past and really enjoyed our stays and the rustic ambience. However, this latest stay it definitely 'could have been better' (2 stars). We were both disappointed in all the negative aspects of the cabin we rented (King Spa Sleepy S16 for reference). The walls were scuffed, an area of floorboard was tweaked, the shower hot/cold water knobs were loose and wobbly, the towel rack in the bathroom was not fully mounted,there were electrical outlets that were loose (fire hazard?) with face cracked face plates, a window latch that was defective and another one missing completely, a slow draining bathroom sink, and the Jacuzzi tub was not inviting - having a constant drip and rust stain (it was not used of course). I am attaching photos for reference. The cabin was not all bad. It was clean, the drapes were functional, the bed was comfortable and the TV and coffee maker worked; albeit the TV's size was kind of ridiculous. We did not complain about the aforementioned issues that need to be addressed, as we still enjoyed our stay. We would consider staying here again, as we have in the past. The price and location to downtown is great. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - broken window latch - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/8tstzHNP2o3Q9954eil6bA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - damaged electrical outlets - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/IGZFhFferc7HSTBOAHebOw/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - towel bar - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/8rs64-rNzNhJ0uLyXDJJCA/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - slow draining bathroom sink - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/u6zNaYrQdLdl5Z3vwZp2Bg/348s.jpg) [See all photos from Tom V. for Sleepy Forest Cottages](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?userid=14D8NcXo_rgdkaO8WAgemA) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Sam V.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=I9r77U535xQ-6TKIYfG95g)",

We have no record of a guest with these complaints, but we have received a similar complaint on other review sites, under other names, all without any additional previous reviews.

Our entire time at this cottage has been a nightmare. We booked a room with a queen bed that was more of a full size. After being upset with the situation we decided to fully settle in. After a nice shower we found a blood-clot/mucus with a black hair within one of our towels. When we brought it up to management they originally offered to bring us new towels as if that would mend our absolute disgust. They did move us to a different and much nicer cabin after we refused to stay in our previous cabin. Only con is we would have this for one night and have to again move to a different cabin since this one is currently booked. We are on vacation and this is a ridiculous and unnecessary inconvenience since we also have a toddler. Checking out early as this has ruined our Christmas trip. Beware of this place. Blood in a towel that is for use is unacceptable. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/31paEXl4-xZZBYe_xxzO7g/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of David A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/9vvFE3V9Mn9f5lx8Gkyfug/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hSBahiaLICTm8f4V7Q9ZaA)",

Usually they're pretty good about the check in time with saying call a head to see if you cabin might be ready before there late ass check in time of 4pm. Even if they couldn't get us in before 4 that would have been ok but 30 mins after is just flat out unacceptable specially with the high rate of $180 a night. The maids have from 11-4 to clean? If my staff had a problem cleaning everything on time I'd fix the problem there by hiring more help. An if you're late checking out I think they charge you another day so what gives with that I'm not sure but it wasn't ok. Stayed in a cabin that was smaller than any of the other ones we've been in the last 6 times we've stayed with them. An worse the door WOULDN'T EVEN LOCK! The cabin had not been maintained properly with the floor that was a sticker meant to look like wood was peeling up. The toilet wobbles when you sit on it which was hilarious and the shower head would drip even when you turned it off. Try stepping in an ice cold puddle in the middle of the night while you're trying to pee. Plus they only put tiny little trash cans in the room so if you eat out not even one to go box will fit in it. I couldn't even sleep in the cabin due to how stuffy it was, saw a dust line blow on the "rock" wall by the fireplace, the problem. So yea thanks but won't be staying here again. They're good in the off season but when it gets busy they fall apart -\_- sad. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hi Kare. Thank you for your feedback. We will make improvement and keep up the maintenance during the winter busy season. During the winter snowing days, if it is back to back, the check-in time is around 5 pm, because previous customer can't check out on-time due to snow removal schedule and road condition, it was written on the all booking websites. We hope you will come back again. - [![Photo of Nan A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/B-bHh521dn41WbePVcJzKA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=4sximMXa4HkXyZtmwIlyFQ)",

However, you did actually tell the reservationist that it was our place you had the bad experience at, with several strong complaints, and I asked you to help me look it up. It turned out later that it was not our extablishment after all. If you had experienced all the things you were describing, we were, first, surprised, and second, wondering why we had not already made it right with you. Since you said it was us, but then found that it was not, it left me very confused. I realize you may have had no bad intentions toward us. We really want every guest to have a great time, and work hard to make sure that always happens. I appreciate your feedback.

Especially with all the other better options available. Very poor unaccommodating front office staff. The cabins are extremely old and outdated. They need major renovations. Heat in the room only covered half the space. Mattress was extremely old, could literally feel the springs digging into our backs. It's hardly a get away location, it's off the main Blvd across from a McDonalds and 711. I would recommend the holiday inn which was great and a much better prime location in the The Village, with very warm and friendly staff. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Julia D.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=h38LZvVbZBG_Ty728DW5QQ)",

The home had everything we needed. The living room was cozy, yet comfortable, with a lovely fireplace that we used quite often. The owner supplies lots of movies and each television has a DVD player. The heater keeps the house warm and the hot water is wonderful. The few times we spoke with the staff, they were so polite and eager to help. A trip into town had us well stocked with food and we brought our own firewood which was a blessing since Big Bear graciously granted my children their wishes to see their first snowfall. Six inches of snow in one day and our Red House was transformed into the coziest cabin ever! My boys played safely in the backyard which is fenced. My family came all the way from San Diego for what we hoped would be a magical mountain weekend and we weren't disappointed. One tiny note is that the mattresses could use replacing. Other than that, we had the best family getaway ever. We brought my 76 year old father and three generations in one cabin shared a special early holiday gift.

We appreciate your comments. Over the past 40 years, The Sleepy Forest Resort has created special spaces in the forest, high up in the sky, our guests, with fun and fantasy throughout. We are the romantic places in nature where you come together to stay, play, enjoy each other's company. However, the resort is in Big Bear mountain at 7500 feet high altitude, doing business in Big Bear is extremely hard due to higher operation cost, higher taxes, road condition and labor shortage. We have tried very hard to support local community and protect nature, please join us to save the forest and mountain. Please come back staying with us again! - [![Photo of Gloria B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=XjdV17uzqC9Fm79SMBW4yg)",

We chose one with a jacuzzi tub in the room, fireplace, and a king size bed. The service in the front office was spot on, offering us maps of the area with hiking trails and recommendations for restaurants and kayak rental. They even gave me two free delicious smelling Yankee candles for checking in on yelp! The room was immaculate and so cute!

We stayed two nights for the Tour de Big Bear bicycle ride, and found the cottage to be convenient, quiet, and cozy. The front desk has a fun DVD movie collection from which guests can borrow and there were free cookies/pastries throughout the day. The cottages are close to Meadow Park, which was a great place to watch the sunsets. We stayed in cottage #13. It had basic dishware, a microwave, fridge, and coffee supplies. We even used the heater once on a chilly (summer) morning and it warmed the place right up.

I liked that we got to park right in front of the cabin. It made it easy to unload the car. The cabin itself was cozy, but dated. The fact that the tile in the bathroom was cracked and loose is really what makes me give it 3 stars...that and the cabin leans. Overall, it was clean. The bed seemed new and was very comfortable. My daughter slept on the pull out bed and slept well. There's a kitchenette that was very functional for us. Dishes, cups, silverware and a pot and pan that did us just fine. They had coffee available in the office w/a sweet treat in the AM, plus coffee and cookies in the afternoon. There was a BBQ right outside that we used one night to grill up a trout we caught in the lake. It's just a few blocks from the only true swim beach in Big Bear, but be forewarned, it's not open on Tuesday and Wednesday. Actually, there's quite a few places closed on Tuesdays...it's the slow day there, i guess. I would definately stay here again, i'd just make sure the tiles were fixed, which they said was going to be done the day we left. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thanks so much for the review!

We booked just 2 days before arrival. Our 22nd Anniversary. We had a late arrival planned and our hostess was cheerfully awaiting me in the office. It took me all of 2-3 minutes to check in. We were tired, so this was very nice. The cabin was ready for us, cozy, sleepy, nice fireplace, jacuzzi tub, comfortable bed, everything we needed for the weekend. The location is great, just a couple of blocks from the main street of Big Bear Village. We took a (not so) leisurely bike ride around the lake and really appreciated that jacuzzi tub on our return. The room was clean and comfortable. The price was right. You can't ask for more than that. Pleased to find: in room coffee with plenty of supplies, microwave, ice in the refrigerator/freezer, toiletries, plenty of towels (soft, too!). This cabin is pretty small, but it worked for the two of us. The only thing missing was a dresser. Curious? So, we lived out of our suitcase, as shorts and t-shirts don't hang up well. But, that didn't interfere at all. We'll stay again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of S R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/lc9HvzdqMhmoa5vbrty3MQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=OAJV-A06BSmuuN9AVoBttA)",

None of our cabins have AC but, 99% of the time, there is no need for AC because it gets below 60 degrees at night (most times a lot colder). In the forest, especially after a rain like had just happened, unfortunately ants do have a tendency to come out but housekeeping was available to take care of it for you. - [![Photo of Raelee R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/JkfeEbHrDZ42EeMsk1F7cw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=RhPgM9QArtUqFCfeu3_uoA)",

You don't often find such good personal service anymore. Office encourages you to call with any questions/concerns and cheerfully helps make things nice for you. Our staff cheerfully came out two nights in a row as we were having trouble figuring out our DVD... and they provided great service with other things as well. Our cabin (7) was small (as described) but cozy with everything we needed. They offer a variety of cabins to suit your individual needs.

Wife and I stayed here for Her B-Day and all I can say... "Over the Top Hospitality... A++++"... The Cabin was the No. 4 Fisherman Cottage which is Handicap Accessible for my wife... Power scooter fit real nice inside the double swing front doors... Jacuzzi Tub for (2) was so rehabilitating for the sore muscles that I fell asleep in the tub... The 8ft. x 8ft shower / open bathroom with dual french door into it was "Again" Over the top... The tile grout between the tiles were sparkling super clean which I know is very hard to keep and maintained for the entire shower room... Kitchen was off limits for the wife due that there was a 4 to 6 inch step up into the kitchen which I handle all the cooking duties... The kitchen had everything including Paper towels and utensils to BBQ-ing... The wife and I also enjoyed the Franklin Stove that serves up a great fireplace for open fire... There were (4) electric fans in the cottage upon arrival due it was very warm that night.. Wife and had our doubts about the bed size but it turn out that it was perfect for cuddling each other as we fell asleep... On our 3rd nite we decided to watch DVD movies that they gladly let you rent for FREE... I could not figure out how to work the DVD player... So we called Josh at the front desk but it was after hours so we left a message... Josh called back with-in 5 mins. and explain to me to turn a certain switch on the back of the flat panel TV and "Ta Da" watching now a DVD movie... Also I notice that when we were out and about they fresh'n up our towels and linens... Will recommend this place and will be back in 6 months to revisit in the winter time...

I built the kitchen in the Fisherman's Cottage, when I first remodeled it in 1980, with no thought for accessibility (I was very young).

For the price and location, it's hard to beat. It is walking distance to Meadow Park, the lake and downtown. The grounds are quiet and well-kept. Each cabin is unique, so take advantage of the online photos and map of their specific location. I have stayed in cabin 6, which is located in the back of the property. It has a HUGE Jacuzzi tub for two, nice living area and very private patio. I am currently in cabin 16 and this is my second stay in this room. It's not as rustic as cabin 6, doesn't have it's own patio but does sit directly in front of the community patio area, complete with bbq and lounge chairs. Cabin 16 has an awesome lay-out with plenty of cupboard space if you plan on cooking. The stone Jacuzzi and fireplace are gorgeous, it has a small sitting area, dining area and I find it to be very comfortable. There are also lots of windows bringing in plenty of light and fresh air. The owners and office staff are always very accommodating, the afternoon cookies and coffee are a nice touch.

This place is nestled in tall pines with paved drives like a private mini villeage. Lovely, tranquil environment but close to the main street Big Bear Blvd. without the traffic/people noise. As soon as I saw the cabins I was excited, and even more when I opened the door. No smells, clean and inviting with a charming quaintness. We had cabin #9, and were there from Fri.-Sun., and I wasn't ready to leave. Being a very meticulous person I felt totally at home here. The pillows were not comfortable so we purchased a few more for comfort. I would definitely call this my "go to place" whenever I come to Big Bear and I believe you will too. Thanks Cathy and staff for your kindness, and hospitality. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=300) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [29](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=280) [30](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=290) [31](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=300) [33](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=320) [34](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=330) [35](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=340) [Next](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=320) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

So for our anniversary weekend, I decided to sweep Wife off her feet and go to Big Bear for a weekend and this was the spot we booked. Front desk guy had great food recommendations that satisfied all of Wife's cravings. And he recommended a great hiking spot so Wife could get great pictures of us together. And we were even given a free bottle of champagne (for our anniversary) that made Wife very happy. Room was amazing, and service was great. Wife got everything she wanted and was very happy in the end. And you know, happy wife = happy life. Moral of the story: If your wife is too busy for you, come here and she will get everything she wants. And then she'll probably give you everything you could want.

This time we were very disappointed. It was not as clean as it was before, no soap in the bathroom and when requested they said use the shower dispenser. I thought you were supposed to wash your hands after using the toilet? They said people were taking the soap or flushing down the toilet. C'mon' people, we are talking about a 25 cent small hotel bar of soap! We booked 2 days and they provided towels for 1 day, so when requesting more towels they brought a bag with "fresh" towels but underneath were dirty towels! Gross. I doubt they mopped as the floors had a dirty film. Groundskeeper decided to use the leafblower just after a light rain and left my car covered in small leaves and dirt which when dried left water marks all over my nice car. It took me several washes and polish to get them off. Was worried about paint damage. Needless to say, he used poor judgment and needless to say we won't be staying here again EVER. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Neal B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/QZKS-LbZqAj_dhJlWoM0ug/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Ban4J5FfT7C3ssiWUloVtw)",

It was nice and quiet (at least in our stay in the summer). They obviously did a renovation of our room not long ago. Everything was nice and clean when we arrived. Because of our profession, a few things bugged us (general contractor), the grout was never completed on the tile at the base of the shower. Therefore water is getting in behind the wall and the shower pan. If this does not get fixed, the money you spent to remodel will be eaten up in repairs. Flooring in main area is already buckling due to moisture. A waterproof alternative product should be put on wall surrounding jacuzzi tub-this has got to be a maintenance nightmare. The bed was actually not bad. Set up of the room is a little strange, but we were pleased with our stay. Thank you for not decorating with floral fabrics and wall coverings everywhere! This seems to be the thing with many cabins in Big Bear, but the 80s were over quite a few years ago! The contemporary cozy cabin feel was just right.

They are very friendly and when we asked for some assistance they came promptly. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Ted W.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/Gl2pjlbOUEHWQh46P9c7iw/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=BIG5YOYKYRt5Fk_tfYDrJA)",

Thank you Josh for the excellent service provided during our stay. We stayed at the southern comfort cabin , and it was just wonderful. The cabin had a wood fire place , full kitchen and 2 lovely bedrooms. The best part was definitely the location, walking distance to the lake and the village. Overall I'm very pleased with the stay and recommend anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay at Big Bear to rent a cabin from Sleepy Forest Resort. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Southern comfort - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/uolhQTxzXk52sXOSzclh3Q/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/H-jXm7ypfptucGg1NnMMqw/348s.jpg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Kenneth Y.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/QkmnPHxQNcshUkKrXXVkSQ/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Ct5fIARF8IOfmLRwQW-L8A)",

We stayed in cabin 16 at Sleepy Forest. The service and staff are outstanding. The cabin was very clean and adorable.It is centrally located in Big Bear, but far enough off the main street that you don't get the traffic or noise. We ordered the "Romantic Package", which included lots of roses, candles, wine, chocolate dipped strawberries, big fluffy bathrobes to use during your stay. Combined with the big comfy king size bed and crisp mountain air, I slept the best I have in years! We borrowed a dvd from the office but never got to watch it, we were so busy with all of the Big Bear activities (biking, hiking, miniature golf, shopping, the Discovery Center, the zoo, etc). The staff suggested restaurants and a tour on the Big Bear Queen Lake Tour (very fun and informative). I can't wait to bring the kids back and stay at one of the family cottages. I would highly recommend Sleepy Forest. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) [Previous](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=330) [27](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=260) [28](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=270) [29](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=280) [30](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=290) [31](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=300) [32](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=310) [33](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=320) [34](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sleepy-forest-cottages-big-bear-lake?start=330) [22 other reviews that are not currently recommended](https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/yneG_H2h5TuR_s6eZnjn5g) ### People found Sleepy Forest Cottages by searching for… -

We arrived to the cabin just down the street it was very clean and smelled pleasant. I was a little shocked on how clean it was. The back yard is huge and has a fence all around it which worked out great as we brought our two small pups. The cabin itself has everything you need I mean everything. The weather was perfect and our stay was wonderful me and my friends are already trying to figure out how soon can we return. The office has ice and a selection of DVDs you can borrow which was pretty cool. I Highly recommend Sleep Forest and can't wait to return. ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - The front of the cabin - Big Bear Lake, CA](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/LqvTGcQS8FR-p6zATzECHw/348s.jpg) ![Sleepy Forest Cottages -

Refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, there was silveware and dishes. Bed was very soft and comfy. Nice shower Cons: if youre a woman and need a place to get ready. Kinda difficult with the lighting and mirror placement. Room was just a little bit crowded with furniture. And most of all there was no a.c. just a ceiling fan and a window fan. It got a little hot.

Curious what cottage you were in regarding the lighting and mirror? We have all kinds of different sizes, furnishings, and types of cottages and cabins. We love to know while you are here how your stay is going, we often offer upgrades or whatever we can to make sure your room is perfect for you! AC has been much more talked about this summer. We have never had AC in our homes or cottages, and don't know anyone in Big Bear who does - part of our appeal is the cool mountain air. Every time we come home we open our windows in the evening and let it sink into the house, then close them during the day to keep it in. But, due to some recent feedback we now have a couple nice portable AC units on hand to offer, when available, to some of our guests when it is too warm in a cottage, even though we inform every guest at check in on how to keep it cool and enjoy our mountain air! We have had these AC units for a month or so now and so far no one has called us giving us an opportunity to use them, although they may have been warm! We hope you can come stay again and try another cottage, let us know! Thanks, Josh P., Manager. - [![Photo of Martin R.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/Qmo3uSCMIBpAIRPYrS_H8w/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gpRT9wD3IPqqVPmECFOTrg)",

      "traverse:reviewText": "[Ruth S.](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=rI2aCJapun5NsffD9J5JVg) We stayed in S04 during peak summer. I concur with the rest of the reviews - the place is old, but super clean, and it seemed like everything was thought-out. The walls have markings, and a lot of the hinges creak, and we felt like we needed to be careful with it. The couch looked worn out as well, but is comfortable when you sit and lounge on it. Again, the property is old, but we think the place itself is well cleaned and well- maintained. There were no smells, and because the windows were open, the cottage always felt cool (even when it's 80°f outside!) and well-aerated. For the people complaining about how dirty it is outside...it's the outside and you're in a woody area. I think it would be difficult to keep it SPOTLESS. Our outside chairs and benches carried the dust and dirt that falls naturally when in the area, with the occasional cobweb because of course there are spiders around. It wasn't covered in dust from lack of cleaning. We had a full kitchen (oven, stove) with basic kitchenware, cookware, and utensils. A sponge and dishwashing liquid was present. The microwave and refrigerator were great. The jetted tub worked great too, though we did have to run it first because there was some stale water from the jets. We love that we could control the heat of it, unlike a regular jacuzzi! The light above the jacuzzi didn't work. There was a Mr. Coffee with coffee packets, sugar, creamer packets provided. They gave us enough for our entire stay. We also liked the big bathroom, and it was super clean and the showers worked great. Temperature control worked perfectly. We didn't have to wait a long time for it to adjust! It comes with a dispenser containing an All-in-One (body wash, shampoo, etc) product. Towels included. Iron, even a side-table. We even had a fan already in there! We liked the bed and felt it wasn't too soft or hard, and we were given enough blankets to be kept warm. The bed was well made when we wrrived. It definitely gets cold in the night, so we personally didn't feel like an AC was necessary. The fan met our needs. There was a huge heater and also a fireplace, but we didn't need to use those so we have no idea how those work. We had good Wi-Fi connectivity, and the TV worked beautifully with the Roku remote that we had. The check-in process is definitely different. They do text you with instructions, and they'll continue to remind you daily if you don't do it. The instructions are really simple though, and once you do it they won't text you again until they give you the housecode once check-in time comes. They ask for your car model and a picture of your driver's license. After which, they send you a map of the place with more information. They already let us know ahead of time about currently not having cable, and how there is no check-in process, but that they can be reached through the number they text you in until 8pm. After which, you'll have to call a specific number if it's serious (ex. You can't get in the house with the code.) They do NOT give you the housecode before the 4pm check-in time. They're pretty serious about that. I got mine at 4:01pm. "Check-out" was easy. We left at 10:57am and just texted them that we left. We didn't need any refills on anything, or any fixes throughout our stay, so I can't say much about that. We felt like with the way they prepared the cottage, we didn't need to ask for anything. I will say that it does feel a little cramped parking-wise, and there are ruts that make the entire parking bumpy and difficult. We needed to do 3-point turns whenever we wanted to backout and there were other cars. For their prices and how well-maintained and thought-out our cottage was, we believe this place is an absolute l find, and we will definitely come back if we will be in Big Bear again. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Patrick S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=0cda_vWK7ueFTWvMWfO0FA)",

Then you open the door and find a very tired dark bear lair. The kitchen and bathroom are a joke and totally out of date. The beds were rock hard. The only thing I actually enjoyed about the place was the charming wallpaper in the kitchen and the short walk to the nice local park. The other units might be nicer but stay clear of Unit 18.

Business was closed for few months during Covid-19, that was the reason no manager on duty for calling customers. I am sorry about it. I hope you will be back soon. Edit: Let's break down the owner's comments, which are as follows: "Thank you for your comments, we will try every effort to make improvement. Business was closed for few months during Covid-19, that was the reason no manager on duty for calling customers. I am sorry about it. I hope you will be back soon." If the "business was closed for few months during Covid-19," why couldn't I get a refund? What does "closed" mean? If "closed" means not open for business, why was I charged $600? "No manager on duty"? What does that mean? So what? If you, as the owner, could respond to my review, you, as the owner, could have have made things right. "Be back soon"? Did you read my review? We won't return for all of reasons stated. Beware the 14-day cancellation policy. The Cave located in the village hosts a lot of good concerts. We had tickets to a show May 30. That show got cancelled after Sleepy Forest Cottages' 14-day cancellation deadline. When I called to cancel our Sleepy Forest Cottages reservation, the front desk clerk informed me it was too late to cancel our Sleepy Forest Cottages reservation. When I explained the situation, the front desk clerk told me he would run it by the "manager," who would get back to me. The "manager" never did. Meanwhile, I'm out $600 for two-nights lodging I couldn't use. One would expect some flexibility in light of all the Covid lockdown and restrictions nonsense, but not here. Suffice it to say we will stay elsewhere next time. Enjoy the $600. You will never see another dollar from me. Sleepy Forrest Cottages was our go-to for lodging in Big Bear. Not anymore. - [![Photo of Stephanie A.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/m_1-zT0T4BcZRexbdWNfpg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=rF2Fx9ezalI-KQaceHypsg)",

Bring your own washcloth because again they will charge you if you get makeup on the linens. Bring your own blanket because they give you a sheet and a very thin blanket to keep you warm. 2 - Bring Benadryl because the rooms are musty. We were sneezing the whole time we were in the room. 3 - Check to see if there is a car show the same weekend you stay. We wanted to escape LA traffic and we visited only to experience worse traffic than LA due to the car show in town. 4 - Be prepared to listen to car show enthusiasts drinking all night outside your window until 2 am each night, if the car show is in town. Management leaves at 9 PM, so there is no one to control the noise. 5 - Hopefully, you like to hear the people in the cabin next door. 6 - Signs everywhere say no smoking, but the drunks are smoking all night and the next morning on the porch. 7 - Rooms are extremely small.

We are very sorry we were not made aware of them while you were here. You might recall that we gave you our 24 hour phone number and asked you to call us anytime with anything we could do for you during your stay. 1\. Thank you for reminding others not to leave their hair dye on our nice linens. I appreciate that. You didn't note that we provide very nice makeup removers in the vanity kits. There was an extra blanket on your closet shelf, and of course we would have been happy to bring more for you at any time of the night. 2\. I am sorry you were struggling with the mountain monsoon weather, but your room was very clean. 3,4,5. You did come up on the car show weekend, when we were completely full, and in fact, I believe you were here with a group yourself. You also received a very special discount because of your group. Most lodging rates in the valley last weekend were double what you paid. All of our guests over this weekend were wonderful, and on the second night, another guest informed us that some of the groups/friends were outside talking after 9 PM. It is summer, so several guests were sleeping with windows open and wished for our usual peace and quiet. We immediately informed the friendly talking guests and they all went inside for the rest of the night. Again, we only ask that you call us anytime with anything you would like us to take care of. Management is ALWAYS on site, three of us live on the property. We close the office, but stay on the phones 24 hours a day. 6\. We have considered making the entire grounds no smoking, but your porch was fifteen feet and around the corner from the nearest neighbor. We will continue to consider a special smoking area far from all units. 7\. I believe you were in unit 7, the mini-moon. It is the smallest room we have, the first spa/fireplace room in Big Bear (1985) and very popular due to the spa/fireplace right next to the bed. We try to explain each room and cottage carefully and we have very complete pictures and descriptions on our website. I apologize if you did not like this room, and if I had known, I would have offered you a full refund on the spot. I do appreciate knowing your about your concerns, and have added a note (240') about the room size to the website. Please contact me directly at Bob@SleepyForest.com if you would like to return. I will offer you another discounted rate and make sure you are in a quiet cottage with all the blankets you need! You might prefer a visit during another season when it is colder outside. - [![Photo of T S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/epVYtXhpnKFle8zT4OQj2w/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=U3TH66GyY_Vzlv807yv2Kw)",

Fortunately, my husband had to deal with that, but he reported a few texts a day from the time he booked our cabin (#5) until we got there. Second, a cute little map that was extremely UNhelpful as to finding our cabin, & especially the parking space (which was no where near the cabin). We arrived, parked in the wrong place temporarily to unload & then went to dinner where I used various apps to finally determine where our parking spot was. I told my husband that I remember the spot & that was where a huge truck was parked. He texted the manager (off-site by the way) about the truck, & received an answering text from her saying it was her employee & she would have him move. Hunh! Seems like she could have done that before we arrived. The floor (uncarpeted) was dirty & disgusting to walk on. The shower (highlighted in the website's blurb on #5) didn't work right. It "featured" 3 nozzles that were not adjustable, even though they were clearly designed to be adjustable. My husband said that for his shower most of the water came out about waist height & would have been wonderful if he was 3 feet tall. But the absolute, ABSOLUTE WORST was the jack hammer!!!! That went on ALL Saturday (except for I assume a lunch break)!!!! About 30 feet away. Bare minimum, we should have been told about the work being done. And a discount would have been reasonable. I ended up spending about 2 hours in the car (which once again - was no where near the cabin...fortunately, I guess). So I ended the day with a migraine.

Let's start with the fact that I booked the wrong night during my birthday road trip. Bob, the owner, sent an email through my online booking agency requesting a call around 7pm on the day that I was \*supposed\* to be there. I called him back and we quickly realized that I had made a big mistake. Bob didn't bat an eyelash before letting me know that he would do what he could to accommodate my mix up. He literally said, "I don't want you to be unhappy, especially on your birthday trip!". He mentioned that the weekends are (of course) more expensive than the weekday rate that I had paid and that all they had left available for the next night was a deluxe cottage (which was a couple levels up from the standard-type cottage I'd booked). At this point, I'm steeling myself for the unexpected cost when Bob -completely unprompted- says, "Why don't I book this for you for just the upgrade fee?" (Since rates may change, I won't mention numbers, but I got an amazing -miraculous really- deal!) What a kind, generous thing for him to do! I was expecting to have to at least double the cost so that I didn't end up camping out in my car. What I ended up paying for my error was a fraction of what I expected! Once I got there, the front office staff was very friendly and helpful, giving lots of good tips about the local area and letting me know that there were complimentary cookies and other refreshments in the lobby, what time they were available until, and that the owner was available via cell phone at any time after the front office closed. The best way I can describe this place is like the feeling of a cozy, warm bed and breakfast, without the awkwardness of having other guests and hosts/owners all crossing paths in common areas and in your personal space. The cottages themselves are amazing. They are located far enough from the bustling village that you have peace a quiet and feel like you are in a sleepy forest, but a quick walk from the shopping area, restaurants, and the lake itself. The cottages are cute, very clean, spacious, full of amenities, and really nice little bath products. They really feel like a home (a much nicer home than mine!). There are all the materials to have a really nice evening in, with a wood burning fireplace (with duraflame log and firewood available in the office) and jacuzzi bath (complete with bubble bath). Even with regular prices this place is a bargain for how much you get! This awesome family-owned-and-operated inn goes above and beyond in every way. They are putting REAL hospitality back into the hospitality industry and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest this place to a friend and I will be returning whenever I can! Thank you so much for the great experience and saving my birthday road trip! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Suifeng D.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/default_user_avatar_64x64_v2.yji-3b8a6a463efdda0b.png)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ESOHNVyraVhT2it8S2AUxg)",

We booked this room for our wedding anniversary. Really loved the ambiance of our room with a hot tub and fireplace. Equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and some dishes/utensils; so you don't need to worry about packing champagne glasses. The bed was not the most comfortable but it was good enough to get a good night's sleep. Our room was renovated in Sept 2016 and they really did a good job with maximizing the space and adding the details of making the room feel like you don't want to leave! We were a block away from the main road that led you to the Village and other spots in Big Bear but our cottage was super quiet and just perfect. (There is also a Micky D's and 7-11 on the same block) They have a free DVD library and have fresh coffee and pastries in the morning as well as iced coffee and cookies in the afternoon. We cannot wait to go back! ![Sleepy Forest Cottages - Loved this place.

But I didn't know of the price of the firewood which was about 12 dollars with tax. It lasted 2 hours. Disappointed with a room cleaning service. shampoo and shower gel were not changed to new ones. So I had to stop by the office to get those but the lady who were in the office did look irritated rather be sorry. Also I found two used tower in the corner not be cleaned up. Finally, I saw some ants near the hot tub and even on the BED. I complained about this issue to the lady, she said to spray an insecticide on the bed. she must don't care about the health of guests and pest issue too. We changed the unit #9 to this unit after strong complaint. I could still find ants in the kitchen. The door of the bedroom had to be opened, cuz there was one big heater in the living room which was making an irritating noise.

Stayed here a few weeks ago and I keep thinking about how lovely the experience was, so I feel I have to write a review. I've been to Big Bear several times and have had a wide range of experiences, so when it came time to plan my boyfriend's birthday weekend, I researched the shit out of decently priced cabins. We stayed in 214, which was adorable and as modern, nice, and clean as it gets. They think of everything - from extra towels near the indoor jacuzzi to makeup remover wipes in the bathroom. Staff was friendly and helpful. SFC is pretty close to town but far enough from the hubbub that it's completely quiet at night. Can't rec this place highly enough. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of Big C.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/a0sPbJq23Sys6NKkENgkTA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=HIK2tnnGzYdv10x4R7flHg)",

The cabin had everything we needed and it was like the staff thought of everything! They were so nice in the office and we appreciated the free movie rentals. The bed was cozy, jacuzzi was great and it was super quiet at night. We took some fabulous naps during the day. No wonder it was called sleepy Forrest! We felt right at home. The weekend before we stayed at the Venetian in Las Vegas, but that room had nothing over 17 Eureka! Pricing was amazing and we were even given a military discount for my husband's service.

I called the day before to find out if we could check in early and the owner was so friendly, told me, that was not a problem, I could come on over any time tomorrow. We got there around 1:40pm. He gave us all the information about the place and the area. We stayed in room 207. I was a little concerned that the room might be a little small but as soon as I walked in, my concerns were laid to rest. The room was pretty spacious for 2 people. This room has a gas fireplace with a timer which was perfect. The jacuzzi was so nice, the water stayed hot for more than an hour which was surprising. The bed was a little harder than I am used to but it was still very comfortable. The room pretty much has everything you need, a microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, wine opener, glasses for drinking...etc. We came back after a fun evening out, then turned on the fireplace, got the jacuzzi going, poured a glass of wine and just relaxed until we were sleepy. It was perfection. I'm absolutely in love with this place.

We have actually just begun a remodel on this cabin (#9), the nearby construction is over, and we were happy to be able to offer you a FREE STAY due to the issues you experienced here, and want to remind all of our potential guests to call or reach out to us while here and let us know right away if you have any issues at all, or how we can make your stay with us better.

The main living space in GG's House is incredibly cute, and the kitchen is a good size. Love the fireplace! The bathroom is a bit more on the rustic side in comparison to the other two cottages we'd stayed at, there's not maid service during the stay. Also, we were instructed to take our trash to a dumping site before checking out. And despite all the thought/care that goes into the cottages, the TP/Kleenex provided is of a very... well... economical variety. Lots of paperwork to sign/initial during check-in as well which felt a little unusual. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Hello again Angie, thanks again for the review. We appreciate the concerns, and want to point out that GG's House is actually one of our "Vacation Home Rentals", so everything you mentioned is included in all Vacation Home Rentals in Big Bear, which differ from lodge and cottage rentals. For Vacation Homes that are privately owned and managed by us - in fact any in Big Bear - all of those terms and conditions you signed are required to be singed face to face by law, as well as trash and cleaning included. In fact, we do not charge any other cleaning fees like most private homes. All that to say, we hope you can come again soon and would recommend booking a cottage again! We also hope to have plenty of quality kleenex and TP, along with other amenities, so thanks for the input. (See original response below) Hi Angie, thanks for the review! We are glad you enjoyed the "little things" and overall stay. For all guests, we provide amenities on request including power strips if ever needed! We also have Kleenex available, which should be in the rooms as well, and due to having to charge in the past for make-up damage to towels, we provide make-up removers in all rooms. Thanks again, hope to see you again soon! Josh P., Manager. We stayed in cottage #205 and loved it! Powerstrip if you have a bunch of devices. There are plenty of outlets, but they're placed in a way that's more like a house (scattered) than grouped (like hotels). Kleenex (though maybe I missed it?) Towel for makeup (they're very specific about this, though there are towelettes if you forget) Drinks/snacks since there's a kitchenette Medicine cabinet in the bathroom for handy storage of makeup/toiletries Dishes and cooking utensils in the kitchenette - thoughtful! Charming decor, modern appliances, and overall super clean Convenient location - quiet, yet close to the main drag Prices are super reasonable, too. We'll be back; possibly in the same cottage though it might be fun to check out another. - [![Photo of Alissa B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/oqQGNOB1ps8779QmtKEibA/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=NHmQS8_qymjH_YH2NrD7hQ)",

Finally on March 20th, I had to call and cancel my reservation. I spoke to Cathy and was informed that my reservation would be cancelled and I would receive a refund per their policy. By March 30th I hadn't received a credit to my credit card so I called once again and Cathy again stated she would process the refund. It's now April 15th, and still no refund. I have now disputed the charge with my credit card company. Sleepy Forest has stolen several hundred dollars from me, don't let them do the same to you! ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) ![Photo of Sean S.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/buphoto/OTlyY0n3ejhvBImyzD0Pgg/30s.jpg) Thank you for your comments, we will try every effort to make improvement.

First off, website says dog friendly, we book as we are traveling with our dog. Come to find out during checkin it's actually not pet friendly, but they tell us it's fine as long as he's quiet. Non refundable. Not something I wanted to worry about on my vacation but whatever. We arrive, keep in mind it was like 30-40 degrees out, heat doesn't work. We buy firewood to get through the night, try and reach someone but can't. In the morning we try and get it fixed, they say someone will come, no one comes by. We call again, someone comes to fix it, heat kicks on, they leave, heat breaks again, rinse and repeat. We were only here for not even 2 days, the vast majority of which was spent without heat and another large portion was spent just trying to get it figured out. After if broke a third time, we get $50 off from the manager after we harass the lady at the front desk enough for him to care. $50 does not cover even half of what we paid for a single night and we HAD NO HEAT. We keep calling and saying we need more compensation, we get told the manager will call us, never happens. Now we have to dispute the charge on our card. Absolutely ridiculous, I was supposed to be celebrating my engagement but instead I spent a weekend freezing and playing phone tag with maintenance. Also, woke up in the morning and there were ants all over the bathroom. I call and she goes "oh yeah that's been an issue." Ok??? So don't rent out the unit until it's fixed??? Ridiculous. Management should be ashamed, worse than dealing with a slumlord. ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_helpful_bulb_v2.yji-9bdd199e9b280f5a.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_thanks_v2.yji-9aecce2fc51f2379.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_love_this_v2.yji-1383a444f772ced4.svg) ![](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/assets/public/24x24_oh_no_v2.yji-f93fb4fc14962b79.svg) - [![Photo of jim l.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/6FJJcHvXLoJUO3NWTc88Zg/60s.jpg)](https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=8SN1HhMzM92p9pK6wsyRDw)",

Relaxing and cozy - way better than a hotel!!! Went on hotels.com and actually was cheaper than anywhere else, but we have a cottage to ourselves with a fireplace and a jacuzzi bath tub (all of them ar big enough for 2!). The tub is like a double sized bathtub with jets that takes a while to fill, but worth the wait.

My husband and I have been going to this romantic getaway in Big Bear since the summer of 2013 :) We try to go once a year but last year we got caught up with our wedding plans and haven't been able to until now. We are going back for our 1 year wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks! We are looking forward to this getaway and we are so excited to be going for our first time as a married couple! We love to stay in Sleepy Forest #9! It has a King size bed, fireplace, a dual rock shower, jacuzzi next to the bed, a mini fridge, a tv above the jacuzzi and the parking is right in front of the Room. It's always clean and looks great. This time we are going to stay in room #7 because the room we wanted to booked is already reserved but it has all the same things so I am excited! I will post photos this time around :) It's a great place to get away and spend quality time with a loved one. My husband and I normally get so caught up with life we like to be around nature and clear our heads!

As you enter the porch there was dry rot on all the posts and chipping paint, not very impressive! As you entered the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom there was no doubt this cabin needed to be renovated. Paint was chipping, wallpaper loose on the walls, flooring needed to be redone. We are hoping that cabin #8 is next in line for a complete remodel. I will say the cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was no soap at the bathroom sink. I asked the manager for some and she told me that there was soap in the bathtub area. They have a container on the wall with same soap for shampoo, conditioner and body wash, which was a little difficult to transport to the bathroom sink. She also told me people/kids were putting the bar soap down the toilets and clogging them up! Fortunately, I had a small bar of soap in my luggage. There were no stoppers for the bathroom or the kitchen sink. I asked for one and they didn't have any - a little hard to do dishes when you can't put soap and water in the sink. It took a day to get a dish towel. I asked for a dish cloth and they didn't have any. They did finally bring me a sponge. I told them a nice touch would be a roll of paper towels for the kitchen. They told me they used to do that, but people were throwing them down the toilet and again clogging up the toilets. I would recommend that you do not stay in cabin 8 until it has been remodeled. I had booked another cabin without a kitchen that had been newly renovated, I wish I had kept that cabin, but I wanted the convivence of a kitchen. Also #8 is connected to 2 other cabins. At 11:00 at night the people next door, I think, were using their jacuzzi tub - that was pretty loud. Pick a cabin that is not connected to another one! I will stay here again, we like the area, but I will be pickier on what cabin I choose.",

We had just flown into L.A. and wanted somewhere out of the city to stay for the night before carrying on with our road trip. We stayed in cottage 14 which was really cosy and just right for us. My husband especially is very particular about showers and it was fantastic - the best one on our whole visit apparently! We loved Big Bear itself and the Denny's just down the road was great - really friendly and told us a lovely place to go to see the lake and take a few pictures. We really fell in love with Big Bear and we will definitely be back, maybe to try the skiing and winter sports",

At 7,000 feet Big Bear is a great place for lowlanders to get away -- clean air and the smell of pine trees is guaranteed. When we arrived we were greeted at the office & explained where our cabin, #2, was located. Guests will find the office is where you can go for coffee/tea and cookies plus a library of DVDs can be checked out during your stay. When we opened the door to our cabin we instantly felt at home. Comfy sofas, kitchen with dining area, two bedrooms, upstairs and down, gas burning fireplace and an air conditioner upstairs, which kept us cool, plenty of outlets and free Wifi, which worked well. There is outdoor seating, BBQ, and a parking spot right next to the cabin. The kitchen has all the supplies you'll need for cooking and a full size refrigerator and stove. It's just like being at home. The cabin walls were decorated with photos and pictures depicting Big Bear in the winter and summer. The location of the cabin is perfect - very close to the town center, ski slopes, grocery stores, and restaurants. The lake is within walking distance with a small beach and picnic area. Although we only stayed a couple days, we had a very relaxing time, and was sad to say goodbye to our cabin in the woods.",

So, I basically thought, to hell with it, I'm sleeping in the car! That changed. I decided to try my luck here, since I knew it well, and the area around it was a comfortable place. So, I lucked out in them having a room open for Friday night, unfortunately not one for a second night, so I went somewhere purely awful. But, that's another review for another place. I was given cabin #3, and it was perfect. Maybe too perfect. It seemed like a place I'd love to call home. Perfect size, and far away from the dreadful 100+ weather down the mountain. I've included a couple pictures. Not one bad thing to say about the property, or the room itself. Always a delight to stay here, and hoping I can squeeze out a long weekend in the next few months to take a proper stay up there.",

Everything about the cottages are wonderful, from the staff, the pricing, and the attention to detail in each and every cabin. We already have our favorites ...... this time we stayed in #5 because we had our dog with us, and it was adorable. It just might be my favorite along with #4. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. If you are contemplating a stay in Big Bear, look no further than here. We will be back .........",

      "traverse:reviewText": "This charming place was our home for 4 days in September. We booked rather late, so ended up with a larger place than we were planning, Cottage 12 (the Farmhouse) which apparently can sleep 7 or 8. It is a 2 story cottage with a good-sized kitchen and decent-sized dining and living area. Throughout, a farm theme has been used in the decor, including in the numerous framed pictures. The upstairs, which has a double bed in one room and another double and a single in the landing is cramped in a cozy way. There are also 2 TVs up there, as well as an air conditioner and ceiling fan in the 1 room. The living area has a large stone wood fireplace, and smelled heavily of wood smoke, which likely has got into the somewhat tired couch and loveseat. There is a flat screen TV in this area. The kitchen is attractively decorated in black and white; it has a fabulous newish gas stove, a full-sized fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. It is equipped with enough dishes for about 5 or 6 people, as well as a basic assortment of kitchen implements, pots and pans. Everything was very clean. The older jetted tub (with shower) and toilet were in a small addition at the back of the cabin, with the sink in an area in front of this room. There is minimal place for clothing storage, just a hanging closet on the main floor opposite the bathroom sink. The people at Sleepy Forest were extremely friendly and eager to please; their office provides coffee and cookies, a selection of DVDs to borrow as well as brochures and information about the region.",

What could be better than relaxing in the bubbles with a fire in the fireplace? Stayed in 206 which has not had the carpet switched out for solid flooring, but it was clean. Call and ask questions to make sure you get the room you want, they are more than happy to take the time to help you select since each cottage is different. If I stayed again would try for one not attached to another. First night was fine since no one was next door, but the following night they had water running all night and the guy was one of those who likes to let the whole neighborhood know when he sneezes. The rest of our Jeep group stayed at Black Forest Lodge because they needed the parking space and most were grossed out by their rooms.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "My husband and I stayed in cottage 15 at Sleepy Forrest Cottages in late Sept 2012 on the first night of our 3000 mile, >4 week trek around California. It was the least expensive accommodation of our entire trip (booked directly with property for a mid-week, off-season stay) and for the price it was better than I expected. The office staff were pleasant and professional. In the office was good coffee (with a variety of flavored creamers), ok cookies in the afternoon, and tasteless store-bought pasties (those sold in the plastic tubs in the supermarket) in the morning. If you want real 1/2 and 1/2 instead of the powdered stuff for your in-room coffee, pick up a couple of at the office. The cottage was tight, rather than spacious; but not claustrophobic. It was decorated in a slightly cutesy style, but not over-done. The king size bed was firm and had 6 Pillows! The cottage has a small "wet bar" with a frig, microware, coffee maker (w/coffee) and plates, bowls, glasses, cups and flatware. There's a small table and 2 chairs. The cottage also has a gas fireplace, and a large flat-screen TV. The bathroom has a tiny but perfectly functional pedestal sink, with a small (approx 4'x12") shelf, a toilet and double-headed shower the size of a standard tub-shower enclosure with no tub. Two people can fit in the shower or one can get both sides sprayed at once. Except for a spot on the carpet, everything in the cottage, including the dishes, was clean. The weather was perfect during our stay, which was a good thing since there was a fan placed in the window above the wet bar which prevented closure of the window. The cottage did not appear to have AC. The complex is located on a side street off the highway, but I did not realize when I selected it that the back of cottage that 215 is nearest the highway. We were not troubled by highway noise, however at 7am a chainsaw rang out and awoke us. Even though the chainsaw was off the property and who knows how far away, it sounded like it was just outside our door. Access to the lake less than 1/2 mile away.",

I think I used Hotels.com to get a price and then called the property and they matched the lower price. We stayed in cabin 5 and it was just right for the 2 of us. The accomodations were clean and inviting with a fireplace to make it more romantic. This cabin had recently been remodeled so everything was fresh and new. Everyime we went to the office they asked if everything was okay with our room and if there was anything they could do for us. It is a family owned business and you could tell it was important to them to make sure their customers were taken care of. They have movies to rent in the office and coffee/danish and cookies available from 9:30 til 5 in the afternoon. I would highly recommend Sleepy Forest for a romantic get-a-way. We certainly will go back again.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "We were here at the end of September, and if it hadn't been no more than 80, and cooling off at night to 50, I would have been uncomfortable in a room without AC, I'm not a camper, but this was about as close as I want to get, and it was luxurious by comparison. We wanted to get away, and these private little cottages that you park right in front of, fit the bill perfectly. In room spa tub worked out better than I thought. Some rooms don't have them. The bath was funky as the room was the entire shower with no division. We made it work just fine, just a bit quirky. Small fridge with no light, but bigger than most and most of what you need in a kitchen is a great touch.",

The cottages were set back from the main highway. The staff was great, and all were very helpful. We stayed in no. 16. The Fireplace Jacuzzi Room. It was clean, and very rustic.Everything worked, but the fire place. When informed of the problem, they took care of it in great time. No problems after that. The cottages were set to where everything was close by. My only regret was I didn't have time to stay longer. When we come up again, the Sleepy Forest Cottages is where we will stay.",

We liked the pictures and reviews so we booked. Best move we could have made! This place was amazing. I would say that staying here made our vacation that much more perfect. We stayed in Lucky 13 and everything was lovely. We had more than enough space and enjoyed everything the site had to offer. I wish we stayed longer because I didnt have time to relax in the tub :( . Anyways, the staff was AMAZING! Very very accommodating and they gave us great recommendations for hikes to do in the area, as well as places to eat and visit. I felt at home here. If we ever make our way back to Big Bear we will be stopping in again. Loved it here! Very very cozy and warm!",

I’ve been to Big Bear many times in the years I’ve lived in L.A. but a dear friend from Tennessee who had never been to California was with me this trip. I was happy to show here one of my favorite places in the world and Sleepy Forest was a great place to stay for the trip. We were there mid-week, off season and it was quiet. We had 2 bedrooms a huge bath with jetted tub and separate shower, big living room with fireplace, full kitchen with dining area, a nice little porch and yard. Located a block or so off of Big Bear Blvd and within walking distance to the lake, it was a perfect location. Just minutes to the village. And the owners were very nice – friendly and helpful. You could really tell they wanted our stay to be special. Highly recommended!",

Since my wife and daughter both have food allergies and eating out is difficult we wanted to stay somewhere with a kitchen to fix our own meals. We booked about a week before our visit. While checking in we asked if cabin 18, the family cottage adjacent to the office, was available instead of the cabin we had reserved. We were told it was, and although it was supposed to be $10 more a night, we were moved for free since it would have been empty anyway. The cabin was very clean and adequately decorated and furnished with a flat screen TV and very nice oak furniture and a leather sectional. The Wi-Fi worked great and the kitchen had all the utensils and cookware we would have needed (though we did bring our own just in case). We were able to take some great family photos in front of the fireplace and the jacuzzi was great after a stressful day of doctor appointments at Loma Linda. Our only regret was that we could only stay for one night since we had to get home to our animals. We will definitely have to stay again and reserve “The Red House” so we can bring our dogs along.",

I had communicated with Bob before our arrival and asked if we were able to have an early check-in if possible. He not only flagged our reservation for early check-in, but also gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne! The day that we got there, our room was not ready. However, the kind gentleman in the front told me the approximate time it would be ready and said that he would give us a call once it is. The cottages are conveniently close to the village and the convention center (since we wanted to check out Oktoberfest). We ate at El Jacalito, suggested by the front desk, and it was delicious! My boyfriend ordered the chilequiles, and I ordered the chile verde omelette. Both were very good. Afterwards, we went to the convention center to order our tickets for Oktoberfest. As we were heading back, we received a call informing us that our room was ready. Perfect timing! When we got to our room, it was very neat and clean! The ambiance was darling and fit perfectly with the scenery outside of the cottage. The room was very relaxing and inviting. It also had helpful tips near various amenities within the cottage. They were posted on the wall near the fireplace, jacuzzi, and other areas as well. After visiting Oktoberfest, which was very fun and festive, we relaxed in our cottage and made reservations at the Peppercorn Grille. The clam chowder was absolutely delicious! I had their chef's special, which was the Chicken Picatta. My boyfriend had the artichoke stuffed chicken. The chicken and vegetables were perfectly cooked! This is also another restaurant suggested by management. We only stayed one night, but we wished we could have stayed for a few more days. We were able to have an extended check-out for the next day as well. This helped us to enjoy the next few hours within this wonderful cottage. Don't forget to tip your housekeeper! We left a tip for our housekeeper because she did a great job with the cleanliness of the room! The rates are very reasonable and its location is ideal for food and activities. Thank you Sleepy Forest Cottages! -Aileen T.",

I liked the apple theme they had for cabin 3, it wasn't too small but roomy for 2 people. Everything was so cute and placed in good spots around the room. I loved the fireplace it kept us toasty. I'm glad they had an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom if we needed it cause some places don't do that. Overall its a very nice and enjoyable place to stay.",

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is great!. We only used our vehicle once to go fishing but other than that it was an easy walk or a nice bike ride to view the scenery or get something to eat. We will be going back again!!",

We stayed in a small unit number 203. Just perfect for us. Cabins are always tidy, clean and very cute! We loved our stay and look forward to staying again in the future...........Oh, and the new beds are awesome! We slept like babies!!!",

The linens smelled clean and the beds were comfortable. The kids loved the tub. The staff was friendly. It was convenient that they sell logs for the fp in the office. Would def stay again. Already making plans. We also loved that it's like a hotel they provide maid service.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Stayed here over the Columbus day weekend. Reserved one of the honeymoon suites (17) was very happy with it with 2 exceptions. The first night we were awakened to a temperature of 84 in our room even though the thermostat was set at 70. We could not adjust it, so just turned it off and cracked open a window. This balancing act worked until morning when we notified the office of the issue. They told us they would replace the thermostat, which they did before we got back from our day on te town. From then on there were no heat problems. The other issue was that the bed was just a little uncomfortable, creaky and hard, but we could live with that. On the plus side,we loved the Jacuzzi tub for 2 which took some time to fill but worked great. We also genuinely enjoyed the gas fireplace and sat on the couch in front of it while we watched T.V. As the cabin is close to the road, occasionally we would be waken by road noises and the like. The grounds are very pretty with many large fir trees and near the office some manmade waterfalls which made the site idyllic, The owner was very hospitable and seemed happy to talk with us about the area or our travels. So all in all, we would go back there next time in BBL, and heartliy recomment this place",

The wood buring stove was a plus and we burned a log each night. Had difficulty lighting the pilot light for the furnace. Would have been nice if it had been lit since we had a reservation. Also, would have been nice if the window A/C was removed for the fall. Ice cold air blew in all night long. Staff are only available for emergencies after 8pm. Good luck!",

We had the "Farm House" which is a very cute cottage that was very nice for a family and was plenty of enough room for the five of us with room to spare. A nice large kitchen, living room with fireplace and bedroom and loft upstairs. Great "creeky" old stair case and an additional TV in the loft area. Very comfortable and clean and grounds are nicely maintained. Close to the lake and a nice park with a very nice children's playground. This is a family owned resort and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and will surely stay again.",

Like many of the cabins in Big Bear, it's located within a residential area, just down the street from McDonalds off of the main strip. However, the compound has its own little charm. Stayed at a cabin with a 2nd story loft, which was a big thrill for our kids. A full kitchen and a fireplace was a big bonus. Had a nice continental breakfast to top it off. Excellent and very kind service! We'd definitely stay again!",

Based on multiple positive reviews of the "Sleepy Forest Cottages" we booked a weekend at one of their rustic accommodations. We were not disappointed. The owner Cathy upgraded us to a cozy & clean 2 bedroom cabin with a huge fireplace, modern bathroom with jetted tub as well as fully functioning kitchen. This place grows on you. Besides being located within walking distance to the lake, restaurants & parks it was a quiet getaway. Special kudos to Cathy. She responds immediately to any inquiries & a minor maintenance issue was taken care of immediately. It's obvious she cares about her patrons. We'll be back.",

The light from the cars exiting the driveway across the street shined through and made for some difficult sleep. Called the office the next morning and the very friendly/professional representative gave us another room at Sleepy Forest. Both rooms were very comfortable and had that cabin feeling we were looking for. However, at Sleepy Forest the cottages were stand alone. Sleepy Forest is also about 5 minutes or less from the village whereas Cathy's Cottages is slightly over 10-12 minutes away. In room fireplaces, nice! Both rooms had little refrigerators and bathrooms were all modernized. WIFI was the only major dissatisfaction of ours. WIFI was very, very slow.",

The proprietor told us that he purchase the cabins and started the business because he wanted a place for couples to come to once a year to relive their honeymoon. You can see they truly care about their guests. The cabins are rustic but very clean. Beautiful fireplace and jacuzzi tub. The bed was amazingly comfortable. We were there for the first snow of the year which made it extra special. Thank you Bob Pool for a wonderful weekend.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "We stayed at Cathy's Cottages as a weekend getaway from my wife's grad school, and we really had the perfect weekend. Our cottage was homely, spacious, and had full amenities. It really felt more like a second home than any hotel, and the owner's friendliness was more like a host than just a hotel staffer. Even outside of the main village downtown (just past Stanfield Cutoff), this location actually put us close to the hiking trails on the north side of the lake, and was still only a short drive to the restaurants in town. I think the best part of the weekend was the peace of just staying in the cottage, leisurely enjoying the jacuzzi tub, and actually letting the stress melt away. I don't know if I've ever stayed anywhere else when the room was more of an attraction than the destination, but we're definitely going to stay here again when we need some time off.",

Our cabin was great, there was a separate bedroom from the main living area, which had both a jacuzzi tub and a wood-burning fireplace. We made use of both of these features every day we were there. Our unit also had a full kitchen (minus a dishwasher). This was nice because we were able to chose which meals to eat in or out. We did have one issue. The day after we arrived, we left our cabin and left the sign up for maid service. We were away for several hours and when we returned, our room had not yet been serviced. My husband went to the office and they gave us fresh towels, and for the rest of our stay, they made sure that our room was taken care of. The people in the office were very helpful with suggestions of where to dine, etc. I know that they have larger family cabins, and I am looking forward to coming back here with our daughter.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "stayed in cabin #1 for 5 days during the first week of november and couldn't be happier. being a long time user and believer in trip advisor, i was only able to find this property after considerable research. not sure what "specialty lodging" exactly means, but this is where sleepy forest falls as far as categories goes. if you just look at hotels or even cabins, you won't find this place. although just off a main street, it is in a quiet, residential neighborhood. i don't believe the pictures do the cabin justice. i expected a more open area with all rooms running together and was pleased to find all separate rooms (kitchen/dining, bedroom and living room). although older, its a clean and inviting cabin with plenty of room to move about. nice having a full kitchen at your disposal and even some dvds available for free at the office. don't know what this town is like in season, but my wife and i enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and walking trails on the north side of the lake, and made good use of the fireplace during those chilly mornings and evenings. there is a kmart, a vons and what turned out to be the best place for reasonable "food and supplies" Slaters (across from vons) all close by. also would recommend the paddleboat tour. for only 20.00 per person its a nice introduction to the lake as they point out the stars homes and some interesting stories about its celebrity inhabitants. can't miss here as far as we are concerned.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "I got a wonderful deal for a 2 night mid-week stay here thru Trubates, but one can also book straight online with Sleepy Forest and also get prices that are not too much more. I purchased the "romance pkg" (champagne, rose petals, & chocolate) and we stayed Nov. 7-8, 2011 in the Honeymoon Cottage-#209. It was just as advertised...the cottage is tiny-so you definately should be on your honeymoon or with someone you love very much. This particular cottage is definately not for those who like their "personal space". LOL It is definately set up for the romantic couple (or 1 person w/o the romance package). Reservations & check-in were easy, Staff was friendly, welcoming & nice. Not uncomfortably personal but not just "stiff" politeness, either. And they encouraged immediate notification if there were any problems at all. Cottage was clean, champagne was chilling in bucket, and they didn't skim on the rose petels! Well placed, scattered petals on bed,along counter and jacuzzi--just lovely! Bed was comfortable for both of us, no problems with linens. We reserved this particular cottage for 2 main reasons: King size bed & WOOD burning fireplace. (other cottages are gas-burning fireplaces). These are just our preferences. We bought wood for f/p from front office for the 1st night, then went to Stater Bros. to buy additional wood (so we could bring home extra & it is cheaper). The front office also has various scents of bath salts & small scented candles for sale. Perfect for the in room jacuzzis. There were already tealights in cottage around jacuzzi-we added a couple more, jacuzzi worked well & was hot, with fire in fireplace, you couldnt get a more romantic setting. Oh! Forgot to mention-this cottage has mirrors all along jacuzzi wall & part of ceiling. This gives the cottage a larger feel. (see the photos on their website-they are very accurate). The heater worked, as did microwave and mini refrigerator. The dual headed shower was a plus! I can't think of any other amenity I would want-they had it all! There were only 2 very, very minor issues we came across: 1) the coffee maker plug didn't fit snugly into wall socket, so you had to make sure it stayed in socket enough to make coffee maker work. 2) one of the remote controls was either left too close to the fireplace or on the heater and was partially melted. It didn't effect the way it worked but we didn't want anyone to think we had done it either, so we notified the office as we were checking out. They dutifully took notes on both comments & we felt they really were attentive to every detail. It made me confident that when we stay here again (& we WILL!), ANY issues would be addressed immediately & courteously. As previously mentioned, location is minutes from lake & village. I've stayed in everything from 5-star hotels in Vegas to motels to large family get-a-way cabins. My expectations are always reasonable & Trip-advisor reviews keep me informed of things to be prepared for. I can honestly say that Sleepy Forest Cottages has been my favorite by far, for all the above mentioned reasons, & unless I ever move to Big Bear, will make this my 1st choice for our return trips. One tip: the floors are hardwood. If you go during the cold/winter season, bring slippers/socks. The floor is cold!",

      "traverse:reviewText": "If you like snowboarding, sking, hiking, biking? snow and a hot coco by the fire? maybe need a decent place to crash? for the price of a standard hotel room this is the place. the tub is romantic, relaxing, with your loved one they provide spa aroma bath bubbles by the fire. perfect after a day of snow shredding. 213 had 5 shower heads with decent water pressure. warm you up real quick and enjoyable to bathe under 4 shower heads at the same time however the mattress was older then me. i could feel the springs in the couch and bed :(. the cleanliness when we got there the first night, was great, the second night they forgot a trash bag, didn't clean the tub, wipe down counters or tables. Im not really that upset but i did get to me a little. the location is perfect from attractions. the service was alright for the tiny family run cottages they are. it's quaint and cute. the mom and pop food joints are fab! however i will have to note, after speaking with a couple a desk employees i was told, that since i would be gettting in late they would leave the key in specific spot (not disclosed out of respect) there was a storm so bad we didn't make it until 2 am. and the key was not there. after we phoned someone using the emergency number to wake up the near by attendant he was able to check us in. we ended up paying for a day we never got to use and would have liked a refund or discount or some consolation. over all it was fun way to re kindle the holidays with my fiance. i wouldn't recommend for more then 1 or 2 nights max because of the the springs in the mattress. maybe it was the holiday weekend as it was thanksgiving holiday why service was a bit off so i'm not going to bash this place.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "My family and I (three girls aged 3,5, and 10) stayed here during the 2010 Thanksgiving weekend. We had reserved #200 which is a freestanding house advertised as being very comfortable and full of amenities. This weekend, the temperature dropped down to about 20 degrees during the night. The good stuff: we checked in early and the place was ready for us already at around 11:30 am. The cabin is large (I'd say around 850sqft) and has a huge backyard and a deck. There is also dedicated parking. The staff, at check-in was very nice and provided us with maps, recommendations, and other material. The cabin itself has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a full kitchen, a living room, and a breakfast area. Overall, should be fine for a family of 5. The Bad: The decor is probably the same decor for the last thirty years. The beds in the bedrooms had mattresses on them that are definitely more than 20 years old with the springs showing through them. The bed spreads, comforters and pillows all looked like they were the same age. There are two roll-a-way beds in the closets which had mattress protectors on them that has numerous little holes in them similar to bug bites. We saw those and closed them up promptly. My wife made the observation that the sheets and blankets all smelled as if they have not been washed in a while. The towels were all very old and seem like they had gone through the wash as least several thousand times. For a cabin that was advertised to sleep 7, there was a single bar of soap and one very small shampoo bottle. The living room has a green sectional couch that is easily 30 years old. It is a broken couch that has one section so low to the ground that it is hard to get up from. On top of that, there is a lazy-boy chair that is also broken. To top it all off, the couch and the chair had cup holders that were very dirty. There were specks of food and what looked like dried snot on them. My wife refused to let the kids sit on the couches before she spread sheets that she brought from home on the couches first. But the killer is the heater. There is a heater in the living room that works quite well, but it is only in the living room. We had come back from dinner around 7:30pm and walked into bedrooms that were extremely cold. My wife, already apprehensive about the quality of the beds, refused to sleep in the bedroom fearing that the kids will get sick from the cold. Instead, we had moved the coffee table and used our inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags (that we take everywhere just in case) and slept on the floor in the living room. Needless to say, it was not the bed sleeping experience we had. Due to these issues, we had checked out the next day and cut our vacation short. My wife refused to sleep like this another night and even if the bedding was okay, we would have been very cold since there is no heating in the bedrooms themselves. We checked out at around 3:00pm and upon checkout, the person at the office simply asked whether or not we got an okay to checkout late. I had informed him that we had just decided to checkout early and that we had paid for the night and the only response was "let me check your balance". He was not interested to know why we were leaving early. Overall, I'd say that our vacation was ruined in a way due to the poor quality of the cabin. I am aware that there are several cabins in the property, but this was advertised as being one of the best cabins there. I had reserved directly and spoken to the staff a couple of times and was assured of the quality (I know what my wife likes and doesn't like so I always ask before reserving) but did not expect what we got instead.",

The trees off our porch are lovely, some pale yellow leaves & red berries others still changing with pale green, yellow & orange leaves all on one tree! We like the space in the 1 bedroom with fireplace, a sitting area & kitchenette, but also enjoy the cozy bedroom with fireplace, kitchenette & sofa; all have nice porches & squirrels:-) and bar-b-que grills close by. Even though you are right off a main street, it is quiet and it feels secluded because you are away from the street and the cottages are a bit away from each other. It is nice to be able to cook your breakfast & bake brownies, have popcorn, etc. You can buy groceries to cook with as there are Vons & other grocery stores, even a 99 Cent store, not far & delicious, reasonable home cooking restaurants near by, like in the Teddy Bear center. You can go to the town library if you don't have a laptop & need a computer, I did. Everyone has been friendly & helpful, the place is clean & just right for a fall escape.",

We got a great deal on the price for 2 nights plus a continental breakfast thrown in for less than a one night stay at Northwoods rip off resort. I would definitely go back here any time & reccomend this to anyone planning a trip to BIg Bear, wether for family fun or romantic getaway!! I loudly disagree with the meager 2 stars this hotel was given, they are a definite 5 star in my book! Definitely worth a look see!",

Inside it is dark and very outdated. Instead of heat in the living room, the heat only goes upstairs. Also I was worried about the heating system that it would caught fire as it was a very old and open heating system in the attic. The Shower was terrible, you had to catch the drops to get wet. the kitchen is spartanic equippet. If you are with just two as a couple I guess its ok, or just for one night (as we did) however with kids it is a bit challanging. I think, unlike they say that 201 is the only outdated one, a lot of them are. I would certainly recommend they update al outdated ones. looking at the management pictures this was not like ours looked at all. If they would like to have everyone that great experience they better update all of them",

Our cottage was clean and comfortable with rock gas fireplace, jet tub, flat screen tv, stand-up shower and kitchen area with fridge, coffee maker and micro wave. Location is approx. one mile east of the village and the property is located a very short walk behind the McDonald's Restaurant which is on the main drag. There are a number of other eating places that are convenient as well such as the Grizzly Manor, very small, locals and huge breakfast that we split between us. The Grizzly Manor is also open for lunch but not dinner. We also had dinner at Casa Sonora which was adequate for Mexican food and about a three block walk from the property. The lake and good sized park are located a short walk from the cottages. Only cons were that the bed was okay but somewhat "flimsy frame motel like", the refrigerator did not have a temperature control knob that we could find and our items froze, if using the jet-tub you need to start filling it about 30 minutes prior to wanting to bathe as the water pressure is very adequate, the tub itself is huge. The first night there was obvious problems with the cable tv and the majority of the channels would pixelate however that did not happen the second night. Overall it was very relaxing and we would book this property again.",

We stayed in #8 and it was spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and in good condition. The front desk was helpful and gave us great tips on local sights and hiking. (Cougar Crest to the PCT and then up Bertha Peak; tough but beautiful!) The owner and his son were very interested in what we thought and welcomed any suggestions for improvements. We would certainly stay here again!",

I liked it because it wasn't too big and not too small and the bedroom was in a separate room. Nice little kitchenette. Staff is friendly and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and happy with our cottage. Very affordable too!",

From the outside, the cabins looked small, but once you step inside it's a lovely little getaway. Definitely cozy and comfy. We received excellent and friendly service as well. We loved our stay so much that whenever we visit Big Bear, the Sleepy Forest Cottages is where we plan to book again!",

The whole property is very well looked after and generally very peaceful. It was a novelty for us to witness a raccoon "domestic" outside our window one evening, with a large raccoon walking right past us after his altercation in our yard. Everyone was so helpful and we had lots of recommendations for things to do and places to go. Sadly, we didn't have an SUV so our trips were limited somewhat but next time there'll be no stopping us - Butler Peak is first on the list for next year! As promised, Josh, the cookies will be on their way this week!",

Josh was kind enough to bring over a BBQ grill for us to grill out on our porch. The farmhouse was super cute and best of all, we were able to bring our dog with us. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We eyed a couple of cabins of theirs for me and my husband to come back to. :). The lake is a super short walk and everyone is so friendly. Can't wait to go back!",

The bed was comfortable and the shower worked great. The place wasn't a 5 star hotel, but that wasn't what we were looking for. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "We were up to a great weekend out for Memorial day with the kids. Because we are five we were happy to find a place that could accomodate us. We met the owner and son of the cottages and they made an extremely friendly first impression. The cottage interior obviously wasn't new but made a sufficient impression. The location close to a playground seemed perfect. Worriefree were we. But soon, the cleaning crew started to bother us. We could not move the patio furniture towards a more sunny place, our son playing with pinecoens and sticks around the cottage was asked not to do that (they thought we didn't hear them talking to him). It became clear the cleaning team was very afraid to get more 'work' and was afraid to get in trouble with their employers... They did not give us any time to clean up after dinner or they already had judged us. One of the owners approached us with their complaints by threatening us with an extra fee without even giving us the benefit of the doubt! I invited him to check on our cottage and then he saw he had worried for nothing. It was very clean! The cottage did not provide a broom or vacuum so we had not been able to do the floors, but you would expect this to be in the service, right? A fairly nice weekend ended in a disappointment. Be careful when you go, the first friendliness isn't genuine. Especially with kids, don't go here. Although there is a cleaning service, make sure you do it yourself!!!!!!",

Once we arrived, a very nice lady welcomed us and made our check-in as easy as possible. We stayed in cabin 4 and as soon as we walked in, we knew we picked the right one. The cabin was super clean and furnished just right for us. The jacuzzi worked perfect. It did fill up slowly but remained hot and so did the 3 shower bathroom. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need in it. Outside was all quiet, nature at it's best! It is a short walk to the lake, a very beautiful lake I might add. All in all, it is the best getaway we have had, ever. I will definetely be coming back here soon.",

We chose just the right spot. The cabin was just what we needed to spend some alone time together. We hiked during the day and had such an amazing time relaxing in the spa at the end of the day. The special touch of adding rose petals to the bed and bath - was just perfect as well. I would absolutely recommend this trip to any couple looking for a place to go to spend some romantic, quality time. I cant wait until we get to visit the Sleepy Forest Cottages again in the near future!",

The cottage was cozy with a king-sized bed, an indoor Jacuzzi, and a fireplace! Nothing was more welcome after a day of skiing than that hot Jacuzzi. The room also had a small refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster, coffee machine, and dishes. After a dinner on the town, the manager lent us some DVDs to watch in bed (since that's all we were able to do after a hard day on the slopes). I would return there on my next Big Bear jaunt.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "As soon as we heard it was going to snow up in Big Bear we decided to head up for an overnight adventure in the snow. Took a peek on TA as well as hotels.com and came across this extremely high ranked gem for a next to nothing price. On paper it looked like it contained every requirement I had: Individual cabin, fireplace and hot tub..... in person, it was all of that and then sooooooo much more! The location was perfect, just off the lake and outside of the village down a quiet side street. The specific cabin we had was "Lucky #13" which was great because it was a little more secluded and toward the back of the property. Inside the room, as advertised was a beautiful rock fireplace, card table for two, couch, queen bed, old school tv with dvd/vcr combo, and of course the jacuzzi tub for two. The decor was simple, if not just a little cheesy (curtains and blinds you might find in your grandparent's house) but it added to the charm. All the little Norman Rockwell scenes on the wall were super cute. The level of amenities was absolutely amazing....aside from the above expectations, we were shocked at the bathroom (5 showerheads- although 2 were broken- still pretty cool) not to mention the "goodies" provided, not just your normal shampoo/soap, large packets containing everything from gum to icy hot and 20 other things in between. In the small kitchenette area, they had provided not only microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator but also silverware, glasses, dishes and paper towels. They truly thought of, and provided everything! I would say the only thing that left a little something to be desired was the quality of bed....it was definitely on the older side with noisy springs and slumping middle. On that note I could certainly be biased as we are spoiled with a Tempurpedic mattress....but it was one of my least favorite hotel beds and made for a bit of a rough night's sleep. That aside, I would go again in a heart beat! Additionally, the owners, the Pool family (I had the pleasure of meeting Bill upon check out) really care about their property. I had told him about the couple of small issues that he might want to look at (the shower heads and a couple of the blinds/screens were broken) which he wrote down and expressed his sincere gratitude for letting him know. He was unbelievably friendly and sweet. It was truly a romantic night that might have been featured in a sappy romance novel or something.....relaxing by the fire, playing card, champagne in a jacuzzi bubble bath while the snow fell outside....absolute perfection!",

The fireplace put off so much heat that we didn't even need to use the heater. The room also had a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Pictures on their website are exact to how the cottage looked on the inside. The cottages are located only a one minute walk to 7-11 and McDonalds.

It has two rooms one upstairs and one downstairs along with a little portable bunk bed. The location is great as well, it is close to pretty much everything. There is a Vons Supermarket close buy. I suggest if you are planning on cooking stop at the Walmart at Highland before driving up the mountain and get all you need. Then drive up the moutain, because things are quite pricey up there. It as everything you would need for a small get weekend get away. It has everything a hotel would have but even better. There is pots, plates, spoons,forks, knife, drinking wears, and a stove to cook on. There is even a patio and a table outside if you want to sit outside and also a small grill to do some BBQ. The place is very quite and extremely cozy. It’s is kids friendly as well. We took our toddler and 3 months baby there. The only downfall to it is that there should be another television in the downstairs bed room. Apart from that it’s is amazing. We will bed booking for the winter of next year.",

It was difficult to open the old windows because they were falling apart. We did enjoy the jacuzzi tub, didn't use the fireplace. It is located a short distance from Big Bear village and there were also several places to eat and stores within walking distance. McDonald's and 7-11 are 1/4 block away. We were disappointed in the poor quality hand soaps and toiletries provided. On day 2 we expected housekeeping to restock our room while we were out. They didn't come until after we returned at 5:30pm. They did not give us more coffee or another hand soap wafer, we only had one for both the sink and the shower. The outside area was very nice and well kept. We relaxed on the patio area and in the shade on the grass. It was very quiet. In the future we will probably rent one of their other properties instead of staying in the little cabins. We rented a separate cabin a few years ago and that was a very good experience.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "My wife booked this impromptu for a 3-night getaway and visit to Big Bear Lake. We were in unit #18, right next to the main office. This unit is more isolated from the rest of the units, but was the only one available at booking time. The two bedrooms are upstairs - 13 steps. The bathroom is downstairs. I found the bed in the unit very comfortable. The only downside is that the 13 steps downstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night can be a bit daunting. I'd recommend bringing along a small flash-light and a couple of plug-in night lights, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, just to help light the way and stay safe. Upstairs is a bit warmer than downstairs (heat rises). However, we opened windows and slept well. When you turn on the heat in the morning however, the bedrooms will definitely warm up before downstairs does. The living room has a large leather sectional that is pretty comfortable and faces the TV, as well as a large leather armchair that looks like it belongs in an English gentleman's club. DVDs and VCRs are available for free at the office. The dining area has a "country" look about it, with a table, four chairs, and a bench that would accommodate 2 adults or several kids. The kitchen is upgraded. Very good 5-burner stove and a large refrigerator. Well stocked with dishes, glasses and cookware. There is also a dishwasher (which we didn't need to use). You could easily fix all your meals here. There are a couple of markets a few miles up the road towards Big Bear City for your shopping needs. The WiFi works well! The front porch is shaded and looks out onto a small yard with a sandpit for the kids to play in. I sat out there one afternoon with a glass of red and watched a thrush (North American robin) gathering building materials for her new nest out there. Finally, the folks in the office are VERY friendly and always helpful. When they say call them at any time for problem resolution, they mean it. We had to call about an issue with the TV remote. The young man came by within about 5 minutes! You don't get much better service than that anywhere. Also, there is coffee in the front office during most of the day, with little pastries in the morning and cookies in the afternoon. Yum! Overall, I would stay here again, maybe trying one of the other single-level units next time.",

Maid service was excellent. Microwave, fridge, toaster & sink with a few dishes & glasses, utensils. You can't really cool but good for warming up takeout/leftovers.

      "traverse:reviewText": "We stayed at Sleepy Forest Cottages July 23 to 26. We were in Cabin 8 which was a cozy 1 bedroom with a small kitchen. Overall we thought the cabin was quite comfortable for 2 people. It has a king bed, full bath, small living room with beautiful fireplace and small kitchen. There was a small deck with table and chairs where I enjoyed having my morning coffee and we made use of to sit out for a bit in the evenings. The kitchen is adequate but I wouldn't plan on any major cooking. We only meant to fix breakfast and it was barely useable for that purpose. Bring a fry pan (There is one but very small) and baking sheet if you want to use one, also salt and pepper and napkins. Our one big complaint was the bed which was hard as stone. Also no room in bedroom for suitcases or a useable closet. The closet was filled with an old TV on a stand. The decor was cute. The staff were all very nice and anxious to make our stay enjoyable. The location is great, in a woodsy area near the lake. A terrific value for what you receive and we are anxious to visit again!",

The rooms were small and cosy enough room for two people. The spa in the room is great and also has room for two in the spa. We stayed in the summer and most if not all hotels and motels here do not have air con. Lucky for us, this beautiful little cottage has a massive ceiling fan which was more than enough to keep us cool in the summer heat. We will definitely be back here again I enjoyed my stay here.",

The hospitality at the front desk was wonderful and the grounds were quaint and cute. They have free DVDs that you can borrow, fresh coffee and goodies all day long and candles that you can purchase for your cabin. It's close enough to the village without being directly in the thick of it, and a very short walk down to the lake. We were able to walk or ride bikes everywhere we needed to go so we did not have to use our car much during our stay (which was lovely.) We will definitely stay here again and would love to try some of the other cottages as each one is unique.",

The Cabin was the No. 4 Fisherman Cottage which is Handicap Accessible for my wife... Power scooter fit real nice inside the double swing front doors... Jacuzzi Tub for (2) was so rehabilitating for the sore muscles that I fell asleep in the tub... The 8ft. x 8ft shower / open bathroom with dual french door into it was "Again" Over the top... The tile grout between the tiles were sparkling super clean which I know is very hard to keep and maintained for the entire shower room... Kitchen was off limits for the wife due that there was a 4 to 6 inch step up into the kitchen which I handle all the cooking duties... The kitchen had everything including Paper towels and utensils to BBQ-ing... The wife and I also enjoyed the Franklin Stove that serves up a great fireplace for open fire... There were (4) electric fans in the cottage upon arrival due it was very warm that night.. Wife and had our doubts about the bed size but it turn out that it was perfect for cuddling each other as we fell asleep... On our 3rd nite we decided to watch DVD movies that they gladly let you rent for FREE... I could not figure out how to work the DVD player... So we called Josh at the front desk but it was after hours so we left a message... Josh called back with-in 5 mins. and explain to me to turn a certain switch on the back of the flat panel TV and "Ta Da" watching now a DVD movie... Also I notice that when we were out and about they fresh'n up our towels and linens... Will recommend this place and will be back in 6 months to revisit in the winter time... Thank you Sleepy forest Cottage for the "Perfect Gift for my Wife"... FuelishSpectator",

The cottage was clean and has a good comfy bed. The spa bath was great and u could turn the tv to watch movies. The reception staff were very friendly and in the mornings there is complementary bakery items and coffee and during the day yummy cookies. The cottages are also in a great location with the lake only down the road and the town centre less than 5 mins away. I would defiantly recommend staying here.",

There were matching dishes, and mugs along with a drawer-full of silverware and cooking utensils. And there were plenty of pots and pans. They even have a jacuzzi tub. They thought of everything and you didn't feel "nickeled and dimed". The people are really nice and make you feel welcome. The office sells logs for the fireplace if you are interested. They even have free movie rentals, Wi-Fi, and parking. What more could you ask for? You really feel like the owners care and you are getting your money's worth. Don't miss this place!",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Everyone asks when you go to Big Bear "was it clean??". We were in cabin #5, and yes, it was clean for the most part. There was the occasional ant (seriously, we're in the woods, there will be some creepy crawlies here and there) that i smooshed, but no ant invasions. My biggest complaint was the tiles in the bathroom. The 1st thing i did when we went in to check it out was to walk right back to the office to let them know that the tiles were cracked. The guys said "oh, ok, i'll make a note of that", which he did, and "i think they were going to repair it this week". Ummm...we're staying here this week...i hope they're not fixing it while i'm staying here. They didn't. The other thing is, the cottage leans...yes, that's right, like a drunk sailor. I got used to it, and the kids didn't notice it, but it does lean. I liked that we were able to park right outside our cabin. Some of them, you have to park on the street...well, in spots that are right off the street. It made us feel more secluded. There was a nice fan to bring in the cool afternoon air...that kept us from getting too hot. Other than that, the kitchenette was very functional. Microwave (on the smallish side), fridge, coffee pot, stove (we only used the stove top) and a BBQ just outside. There were dishes, cups, utensils and a pot and pan. Oddly, there was only one steak knife. A sponge and soap to clean your dirty dishes, a towel to dry them off and a roll of paper towels to clean up your messes. Loved that. We didn't use the central fireplace as it was summer and it didn't get that cold, but it was gorgeous as old fireplaces go. The pull out bed was comfy for my daughter, so the 3 of us were right at home. The bed seemed new and firm...the bed linens a little old and wore, but clean and comfortable. Old school 26" TV w/cable, VHS (which we could figure out), DVD player (which we could not). The bathroom was nice except for that tile problem. The shower is VERY tall, so guys, if you're upwards of i'd say 6'2", you're good to go. Nice pressure and ample hot water. Central location...a little closer to the Village than to BBC, but it was a great starting point...7-11 and McD's on the corners...which i mention for convenience. We only went to 7-11 for a lottery ticket...not a fan of the golden arches. I really picked Sleepy Forest because of it's location to the swim beach...it's only 4 blocks away, but it was rainy the 1st few days and when it warmed up, the beach is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday...just so you know. Bummed us out, but what can you do?? Morning coffee and pastries in the office. Same apple danish everyday, though. OK for my daughter, but my son kept hoping for donuts. Good coffee, for sure. In the afternoon, they had cookies...chocolate chip the time we stopped in...not sure if they have any other flavors. It's a nice little extra. Over all this is a nice place. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all...unless you're a creature comforts sorta family. This is a do it your self place...and was perfect for us. Oh yeah, they also have free wi-fi, which is how i'm writing this review right now. Allowed me to check different things during our stay...like where to go or what time to be there.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Wow! We feel so fortunate to have spent two nights with the Pool Family at the Sleepy Forest Cottages in Big Bear, California. We had searched the internet for a place to enjoy a little getaway. We wanted a jacuzzi and fireplace and to be close to shopping and great dining....Well....we found that and more at the Sleepy Forest Cottages...the room took our breath away when we walked in...fireplace, huge jacuzzi tub, and mirrors no less. The place is run by a family who makes you feel so welcomed and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure all your needs are met. We sat out on our large porch and inhaled the great moutain air...we soaked in the jacuzzi tub while watching TV and had a fire in the fire place and just hung out. The Village Shopping and Dining area is very close to the Sleepy Forest Cottages and we went there and found many great little shops and pubs. For breakfast we went to a little hole in the wall place called Grizzley Manor and had the best breakfast ever. Needless to say, we can't wait to return for another visit...if you need a little getaway to rekindle, reenergize, or revamp your love life...this is the place...thanks for such an amazing trip!",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Overall a cute cabin. We rented #209, which stood by itself, not attached to any other cabins, in the front of the property for two nights - July 16 - 17, 2007 at $103 per night. It was a good rate considering that it was a jacuzzi cabin, which meant we had our own jacuzzi/hot tub in the room. But unfortunately they have problems with ants, and the jacuzzi was not that usable since we had ants coming out of the pipes when the jacuzzi was run. The cabins are cute, though looks relatively modern, so not a true cabin feel to it. I've been to Big Bear many times, and there are some cabins that totally look it and feel like a true cabin. That said, the overall comfort was good. Great, firm bed. Kind of a cramped roon, but had a fireplace (which we did not use since it was the summer), a TV (but the remote did not work properly), the aforementioned jacuzzi, and a large shower with a rock wall, with double shower heads, which my wife and I enjoyed. The location was great since it was just a couple of minutes driving distance to the village and numerous restaurants. They provided a sub-par continental breakfast. But since that was not advertised on the website, I consider it a bonus and therefore can't really complain about it. Walking distance to the swim beach and meadow park, which is nice for a picnic, and the swim beach is great, since it's a secluded area of the lake, with no water crafts of any kind, so you can actually enjoy the lake. Overall a good place, but not awesome.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "We planned to have a cozy weekend relaxing in the cabin, so we specifically made sure the place has TV, DVD player, and Wi-Fi (in addition to the other amenities). Our room did have these features... sort of. The Wi-Fi is fine, but the INTERNET bandwidth is unusable most of the time. The front desk said it is an ongoing issue with their Internet provider, and they cannot do anything about it. Bottom line, the advertised Wi-Fi was basically not provided, and should not be advertised. There is indeed a TV and a DVD player. However, the DVD player is a very old model that they apparently lost the remote control for. It is not possible to play any DVD that requires any navigation through an on-screen menu (i.e., almost every DVD). If it works by just inserting it and pressing "play" on the DVD player, then you're good. Otherwise, you are SOL. After playing (or trying to play) a DVD, it was not possible to get the TV to see more than one TV station. It required a magic sequence of turning off the DVD player, selecting the right TV input, unplugging the power from the cable box, waiting a certain amount of time, then plugging in the cable box and waiting about 5-10 minutes for it to find all the channels. Again, the bottom line is they advertised features of the room that they did not provide. I was surprised that there did not appear to be any housekeeping service. We stayed for 3 nights, and the only thing we got was a staff member coming to the door offering us fresh towels. We had to go ask for TP when it ran out. The bed was never made. The room was not swept or otherwise cleaned. I concluded that they must consider it to be like an extended stay place where housekeeping only services the room every few days. I was even more surprised just before I started this review to read other reviews that talked about housekeeping service. So now I am surprised and confused! We were also disappointed to find out that the guest laundry room shared a wall with our cabin. We knew the cabin shared a wall with another cabin since that was in the description. However, it was unacceptable for the noise of a laundry room to be a surprise! We were in Cabin #8 for a Fri-Mon stay.",

Finding the place and checking in was so simple. As I do with all places I plan to stay in, I had done a bunch of research and read reviews about this place along with checking out pictures of each and every cabin. I decided to go with #7 and it didn't disappoint. Lots of fast food nearby, the closest being McDonald's with just a couple minute walk up the street. I love all things small and cozy and our cabin was perfect as it is their smallest and oldest cabin that included the jetted tub and fireplace. Hot water came out right away and the jets were very soothing. Even though we didn't use them, the complimentary bathroom amenities were a generous addition. Super convenient that the room included a fridge, microwave, and a sink, along with plenty of utensils. We enjoyed some Disney movies and other classics from the office. Loved the fact that they were VHS tapes; brought back so many memories. Will definitely come back here again!",

If you stay at any other cabin in the area, you have to pay a $100-150 cleaning fee...My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at the Camper's Cottage. I recommend this cabin because I believeee it is the only lower priced cabin that has a full kitchen. The room was very clean! Not a speck of dirt! It also comes with everything you could need such as a ceiling fan for hot nights, a fireplace for chilly nights, a coffeemaker, pots/pans, dishes, a mini-fridge(w/tiny freezer section), etc. I also wanted to note that it has a small couch with a pull out bed... That's what the description means when it refers to the "extra bed." The shower was small but the water pressure was great. The water heats up really quick and the heater works well.",

I came across Sleepy Forest and the Yelp reviews seemed pretty good so I booked it. We stayed at the Eagles Haven home #193. Honestly the biggest issue I had was the carpet was stained and appeared very dirty as well as the living room furniture didn't seem to sanitary. The pictures online looked far better. The rooms and bathrooms were fine. The location the ability to cook the front and back yard...all very much like home. My only problem was that carpet. Kids like sitting on the floor next to the fire place and I was apprehensive to say the least as well as I put our own sheets and blankets that we brought with us...over the couch. Its a main sitting area and should have a regular cleaning if past quest are careless as such.",

In this case it was true! We arrived late on 1/22...Martin Luther King day. We were driving down from Vegas but didn't anticipate the hoards of people driving back to California with us so ultimately ended up arriving to check in after 7pm but was relieved that they waited around for us to arrive otherwise it may have been a cold night in the car. When we got to the cabin (Villa de Lucia #198) we immediately took our tour to see if it was as advertised and we were pleasantly surprised! We're pretty picky when it comes to cleanliness so you can imagine we went over the whole place pretty well and was extremely pleased to find it was well maintained and very clean overall. I could go on and on about the great customer service and the great value of this rental but just read all the other reviews, check out the pictures and trust me that everything is as advertised here...not all things are too good to be true. We'll be back next season!",

There is a second level that is off limits (weird). The sofa sleeper was EXTREMELY uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that our child could even sleep on it. Fortunately we had a air mattress with us from a previous trip. PROS: Nice staff, clean unit, internet TV with Hulu and Netflix, excellent location, bedroom bed was comfortable. CONS: Horrible mattress on sofa bed, kitchen lacked necessary supplies such as: cooking oil, paper towels & kitchen towels, trash bags for trash can.",

We spent $220 for room 217, the queen jacuzzi. Things to note: there are no double showerheads in this room, just a normal (slightly larger) shower. There is a little kitchen fridge, microwave and breakfast table. The TV has been updated (but we didn't use it). The fireplace is gas, and nice. Room stayed warm with the heater. Decor is a little old school with little drawings hanging but it was part of the charm for us. We enjoyed the stay. I had seen that some people had trouble with the bed and the owners were able to give them some padding/accomodate them but we didn't get in until very late and had not really tried the bed before so it was a hard night's sleep. There is a number that says they are available 24/7 though.",

We booked mid week online, got a great deal and drove up to big bear for a few days. First impressions, I knew I'd made the right choice. The staff at the office were great, very friendly and accommodating. We rented a one bedroom place for just my husband and I. The cottages were excellent very easy to find with parking right outside and just a short 5-10 min drive from snow summit / big bear. The place is heated extremely well. Great gas fireplace, nice clean bathrooms and a great little kitchenette with all the basics for short term stay. Even though the cottages are close to the main road they were still very quiet at night and I never heard any of the neighbouring unit's. If you looking for an affordable nice place to stay that's not a motel, I definetly recomend Cathy's cottage's, we will definetly be back!!",

Located in a good spot especially with kids cuz there is a McDonalds up the street from them on one side and the other corner is a 7-11 so super convenient. They had apple strudels, coffee and tea in a.m. in the office and it was very good. Computer up front with printer for use and FREE wireless which is an awesome bonus. I left my earrings there and they said they would mail it to me but I have to pay for the shipping. I thought that was weird but hey, it's OK. They were nice enough to not steal it I guess! I would definitely go back to this place :)",

He and his staff were very accommodating and found me a room and gave me a better room than I had booked - and honored the rate. I would stay there again and recommend Sleepy Forest to all who are looking for a nice and clean place to stay in Big Bear. It is not the Ritz, but I have stayed at a number of places in Big Bear - and none of them are (most places are decorated in country style). It is a nice cabin atmosphere with simple, tasteful decor. Sleepy Forest was clean, had new/clean/working facilities and a very nice staff. The bed was comfortable and the jacuzzi nice. Parking was convenient. They gave me a late checkout with no hassle at all. 5 Stars for "Nice"",

The only reason the loud construction even stopped was because I had to call and complain that it was happening. I paid $180 for 1 night through airbnb for this room, and can hardly believe that price for the lack of peace & quiet. The room was dated, yet adequete with fireplace and jacuzzi. But even the faucet in the jacuzzi dripped all night which can not be turned off. I got a "sorry" from whomever was texting with me, but nothing else was said or done. I'm quite displeased to say the least.",

He was very helpful to get us checked in and came down to our cottage to help us figure out the tv. Room was nice, fireplace is very cool (they sell firewood in office for like $8).

      "traverse:reviewText": "We planned for this vacay for weeks... by the time we decided on the actual dates it was almost a 4-day weekend so lodging was sky-rocketing in all the resorts we wanted to stay. Then, the weather forecast says something about storm coming to SoCal??? Perhaps it was all these that prompted our decision. Needless to say, we booked Cottage #5 - Old Farmer Cottage at Sleepy Forest Resorts in Big Bear Lake, CA. It was a very a good choice, both for the timing and the accommodations. First, Sleepy Forest Resorts location was awesome!!! It is surrounded by Pine trees, and the cabins or cottages were arranged as if you are in a community yet maintains the singularity of it. I like the little pathways between cabins and the parking was very good - we actually parked right in front of our cottage! It is near everything - restaurants, shopping, parks, ski slopes and driving in & out to the main thoroughfare was a breeze. The resort was beyond our expectation. There were only the 3 of us, yet our cottage #5, was very comfortable - too homey, it was almost impossible to leave it. We had a kitchenette which was very nice since we like to prepare breakfast and quick-snacks. The stove/oven we used for our soups & bread-baking. There was a microwave, bread toaster and small refrigerator for our drinks. It also came with pots & pans and china & silver wares. The bath had 3 shower heads which was very much liked by us and clean and roomy for our space. We love the fireplace! We can say it was the focal point of our stay since we had a storm during our stay ... and it was just wonderful to watch the snow coming down from our patio!!! We also had wifi which made my son happy as it kept him connected with his world in spite of being in the forest. Yes, we definitely felt we were inside a forest with all the Pine trees and the snow! Second, the snow storm. This was the bonus! Sleepy Forest Resorts definitely is the best place to be when it snows in Big Bear Lake. The scenery was just splendid! Pine trees were dressed in white powder ... so were the roofs of the cabins! The ground was sparkling white and the staff should be commended with a very good job maintain the pathway clear! In the evening, the resort was illuminated with the lights from every pathway between cabins/cottages that it was just a sight to behold. We would definitely come back and bring family & friends. Thank you so much for a wonderful, relaxing vacation.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "My husband and I recently stayed in Cabin #17 at Sleep Forest and had an overall great experience. The location was just what we were looking for - just off the "Boulevard" and close to both sets of slopes. I'm not a skier, so I also appreciated being situated in a quiet neighborhood where I could take walks to the lake. The cabin was obviously well-maintained, and everything functioned properly (fridge, TV, jacuzzi, etc.) The cleaning staff was also very responsive and thorough (we went for a 30 minute walk at one point, one of the staff noticed we when we left, and the room was ready when we got back with fresh towels, dishes washed, etc.) I would give this property 4.5 stars if Tripadvisor would let me because I think just a few minor updates would give it a 5 star rating. Dark green carpet covers the entire interior (except for the bathroom with shower & toilet). I don't know the age of the carpet, but it seemed fairly dated (although it appeared clean when we arrived). It's a little odd to have the carpet right next to the in-room tub, and the carpet gets soaked if any water spills out or when you get out of the tub. The floor is carpeted right by the fridge/sink/food prep area as well (which leads to the same sort of issues with spills). I understand that carpet is warmer, but I think the floor would be more sanitary and updated with hard wood or tile in these areas. The mattress was "ok" but could probably use a few layers of foam underneath so it doesn't sink as much in the middle. Overall, we had a very good experience and would likely stay here again.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "My husband & i have been going there for our anniversary since 2002. I liked the old management better, they were more personable and friendlier, but the new people have updated the rooms nicer with less lace and thrills and a little more style. The wall heaters can be a bit noisy & the plumbing is old; for instance year after year cabin 205 washer on the bathroom faucet has a pin-hole that shoots a super thin stream of water onto you until the water gets hot and the hole swells and the squirting stops. Also the toilet flusher is sooo loud! The floors are very uneven and if you put a marble on one end i think it would roll right out the door! LOL. But the cabins are Very charming anyway and service is good and the location is great, and the value is the best for what you get. I just don't think they should be more than 2.5 star rating tho. My husband and i will continue to go there as long as the cabins stay as they are and we live in So.Cal :) There is all sorts of sizes or cabins with different needs being met from a romantic hot-tub cabins to the 3 bedroom house for big families and everything in between, so everyone should be able to find what they are looking for. And the location is great within walking distance to the lake, 2 min drive to the town, etc. Definitely recommended .",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Since most of Big Bear's accomodations are small, independently-operated ones, it's helpful to have websites like Expedia, where I happened to find the Sleepy Forest, otherwise I probably never would have known it existed. I found a decent rate for a single Friday night (sometimes a problem in the mountains with 2-night weekend minimums very common) which was lower than the price on the hotel's own website. The property is located right off of Big Bear Blvd, near the middle of town, and walking distance to 7-11 and McDonald's. Apparently it's very close to the lake too, but upon driving towards it a few blocks, we never did see it. Of course, that was in the dark so it may have been right there. There are maybe 20 rooms or so total, and we were booked into the smallest type unit which is perfectly fine for two people. The room had a king bed, fireplace, TV with VCR, wet bar with microwave and medium sized fridge as well as several pieces of silverware in the drawers. A rustic Residence Inn, if you will. The decor is country, with apples being the main theme, at least in this particular room. Everything appeared clean and in good condition, with the exception of lots of cobwebs in the windowsills. The bathroom had a stand-up shower and looked fairly recently remodeled. These being older cabins, you sometimes got the feeling of dizziness because the floor isn't perfectly level, but I find it easy to forgive that kind of thing in little places like this. The cabin is freestanding, so there is no noise from other rooms, other than a particularly irritated dog right outside our window whose incessant barking became unnerving in the middle of the night. I think he was on private property in a person's backyard that just happened to butt up next to our cabin, so I really couldn't blame the hotel, although it would be nice if they spoke to the owners about their discontented pooch. The front desk staff is very friendly and casual, and the small lobby that houses the continental breakfast is cute with country decor and a small curio cabinet full of various Disney "Sleepy" figurines collected over the years. The free VHS tapes for rent is a nice bonus, although I admit it was hard to find any title worth viewing until I finally decided on "Grosse Point Blank" which was quite good. In the lobby and on the hotel website, I did notice quite a few references to "nicer" cabins with a different name and location, but obviously owned by the same people, touting the benefits and upgrades of moving over there, as if to discourage staying at the original Sleepy Forest. I thought that was a little bit odd to downplay your own older property, but I supposed it's simply synergistic marketing at work. The Prestone logs in the lobby are $5 each but more like $2.49 at the local supermarkets, so either will work. I did notice quite a strong smoke smell in the room while our log was burning, perhaps due to a partially clogged chimney, but it was no big deal. All in all, a very cute and comfortable place to stay. I imagine the larger cabins are great for more people or simply more room, and they didn't seem to be that much more expensive than mine. With all the nightmarish properties in Big Bear in this price range, I'd say Sleepy Forest is a very wise choice.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "Cottages were cozy, clean and close to Snow Summit. Location is great if you are going to be skiing at Snow Summit. It’s only about a 2 minute drive! I only have 3 complaints about the cottage we stayed in (#6). The first complaint being the mattress. The mattress is very firm and made it hard for me to sleep. I averaged about 2-3 hours of sleep both nights we were there. The second night was a lot worse than the first night because we had been skiing all day. We actually ended up checking out a bit early so that we could get home to our own bed, so that I could get some rest. My husband had no problems sleeping, but he perfers a firm mattress. My 2nd complaint was the knob that turns on the fireplace. Our fireplace had a timer knob, which is fine and actually pretty nice. The time lasts for an hour which is perfect. The only problem was that every time the fireplace was about to turn off the knob would fall off the wall. In a way it was a warning our fireplace was about to turn off. I’m sure it is a quick fix and shouldn’t play any part on determining if you were to stay in cottage #6. My last complaint is the heater. The heater worked great, but was very noisy! During the daytime when you are awake it’s fine, but trying to sleep is another story. It sounds like someone was banging a metal wisk onto a metal bowl. I was already having a hard time sleeping due to the mattress, so maybe it’s something I wouldn’t have noticed as much if I had been able to sleep. All in all I would stay here again if the mattress wasn’t as firm. I talked to my husband and if he had written this review his only complaint wouldn’t have been the fireplace timer knob. I hope this review helped anyone that took the time to read it it.",

We had previously stayed in the cottages twice before so we thought they were a safe bet. Unfortunately, this time we got #190 which is practically falling apart.

      "traverse:reviewText": "I have nothing negative to say about this place! I knew nothing about Big Bear in regards to location/cabins/etc so I turned to yelp and TripAdvisor. I'm so glad I did! We stayed in #9 "Honeymoon Hideout" and it was perfect! Parking is right outside the steps (more on that in a minute lol) and the place itself is spacious. There are french doors, a king size bed, a HUGE jetted tub next to a wood burning fireplace (dont forget the wood!), a double headed shower, small (very warn out) sofa, and a kitchenette area with a microwave, sink, and mini fridge. We brought our own blanket and were so happy we did because it gets cold! The heater works great but I found myself either way too hot or too cold so we opted to leave it at 70ish and used our blankets to stay warm. We brought our own towels due to their strict linen rules (thanks for the heads up), wine, premade meals (breakfast burritios for the mornings, Chinese food for the evening), tons of snacks (of course, we made smores!) and spent the majority of our time in the cottage. We did visit Himalayan Restaurant one day for lunch, which is lovely if you like Indian food. While attempting to get out our parking space at the cottage we got stuck in the snow/ice and had to call the front for help. It was our fault, they did warn us that the previous couple prior to us said the driveway was icy and they offered us a parking spot near the office but we didn't want to walk in the cold on ice with all of our stuff so that was that. A gentleman from the office was kind enough to help us get our truck out of the spot and offered tips for next time. There is a McDonalds abt 2 minutes away, as well as a 7-11. The only thing I regret not bringing movies (we did go to Stater Bros and rented from Redbox) because there is no TV guide and it's pretty basic cable..... and slippers. Even though the cabin was nice and cozy the floor was still crazy cold! I didn't get a chance to write in their nifty little notebook next bed (grr next time!) Anyway, we plan on returning when there isn't snow so that we can walk to the lake since it's so close and perhaps stay in a different cabin =)",

The owner came on line so rudley and responded to me why r u staing here if you had bad experience, firs tof all i never told him it was his cabins we stayed at, it was cabins close to his area second of all if i did decided to stayed again at his cabins he should of reply to me as a return guest and aplogize and thank me for giving them a second chance. He rudley told me he can't remembered me and when i told him hes not lettting me talk and being rude he told me off and said i will not rent any cabins to you. I was shock with his answer and service to me over the phone. I was not expecting this kind of service from any owner of these cabins. I'm still in shock and just decieded to write this comment since i have never done this ever. I hope you guys have better experince with this mananger if you like to see it just call and say you think this is the place youstayed at and had a bad expeince and you will see is nice personality pop up. Hope you guys experience a much better service then i did, at least on the phone.",

The stay was friendly and accommodating and the location is minutes from the village, lake and ski resorts! We enjoyed having the small kitchen items and dishes to eat up leftovers we brought back to the room. We stayed in cabin 15 which was perfect for a couple. The gas fireplace was so accommodating and really heated up the place. The area was quiet and neat! This definetly is a place I will return to and recommend to friends, family and couples!",

Fortunately, my husband had to deal with that, but he reported a few texts a day from the time he booked our cabin (#5) until we got there. Second, a cute little map that was extremely UNhelpful as to finding our cabin, & especially the parking space (which was no where near the cabin). We arrived, parked in the wrong place temporarily to unload & then went to dinner where I used various apps to finally determine where our parking spot was. I told my husband that I remember the spot & that was where a huge truck was parked. He texted the manager (off-site by the way) about the truck, & received an answering text from her saying it was her employee & she would have him move. Hunh! Seems like she could have done that before we arrived. The floor (uncarpeted) was dirty & disgusting to walk on. The shower (highlighted in the website's blurb on #5) didn't work right. It "featured" 3 nozzles that were not adjustable, even though they were clearly designed to be adjustable. My husband said that for his shower most of the water came out about waist height & would have been wonderful if he was 3 feet tall. But the absolute, ABSOLUTE WORST was the jack hammer!!!! That went on ALL Saturday (except for I assume a lunch break)!!!! About 30 feet away. Bare minimum, we should have been told about the work being done. And a discount would have been reasonable. I ended up spending about 2 hours in the car (which once again - was no where near the cabin...fortunately, I guess). So I ended the day with a migraine. Don't go!!!",

My cabin was just a plain wrap, no little things, no kleenex, no place mats, nothing! They even disconnected the phone and since I couldn't get cell service back amongest the trees I couldn't call the office. No clock even. The floors were dirty because I was wearing socks and they ended up dirty, dust everywhere. There was nothing in the office, use to be candles you could buy, fireplace logs, sweets, everything was gone!",

No noise issues since it wasn't attached to the other cabins and was farther away from the road. Excellent value for the location. This was my first visit to Big Bear Lake and this cottage felt secluded, yet anything we wanted to do was only a short walk or drive away. It was a nice touch that DVDs, coffee, and snacks were available in the lobby. I would love to stay here again during different seasons. Make sure to sign the guest book! We had a lot of fun reading entries from other couples.",

I adore the homey cottages and go for the jetted tub! I've been in Cottage 1 (2014) and 9 (2015). I'll probably return to 9 for my future stays because it was cozy and good small space for myself. I did enjoy the perks of Cottage 1 and would stay there if I had a partner. I like how the lobby has the old movie selection & quality teas. Front desk hosts are so nice & accommodating. I really love going to this place every year!",

One of the days we played cards and had mimosas out on our patio, it was so peaceful and relaxing we played for hours. The staff was great! The cottage was updated. The bathroom and tub were extremely nice. Bathtub had a view of the fireplace. No air conditioning, but there is a fan in the window it cools off at night. There was only one thing I had negative to say, I know it's the mountains, but there were spiders and webs in the Windows so I was scared to open them to let in fresh air. They just need to be cleaned out. Other than that it was beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, and romantic!",

We stayed three nights in Lucky Cabin 13, Thursday-Sunday. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Cabins were clean, and though not new, everything worked, from shower and fan to TV and wifi. Shower has four shower heads- great fun! We spent afternoons on the chairs outside the room, enjoying the breeze and trees. Location can't be beat: 1 1/2 blocks off the main drag, so quiet, but easy access to everything. We would return.",

I use a breathing machine, so I had cold air blowing on my face all night. Host told me it had been hot the last two weeks, and pilot was probably out on heater.

The location is perfect, just a block away from the Lake and park. The cabin we stayed in, #17, was VERY small, but clean and had everything we needed. The only thing i didn't like was the bathroom didn't have a sink, just the shower and toilet. So, teeth brushing, etc, needed to be done in the kitchenette area. Also, the cabin was next to the street and parking area - but it was surprisingly quiet. The staff was very nice and helpful. I would stay there again, but probably ask for a different cottage.",

I found the cottage to be clean, nicely decorated, conveniently located: close to the lake, the village, but away from major noise. We stayed in room 214, which is a separate decent size cottage for two, has a really big jet tub, a fireplace, a kitchenette with dishes, an upgraded bathroom with a two head shower, and a little patio just outside the door. The staff is really nice and helpful with directions and everything else. Our friend left in a rush and forgot a valuable thing in the room. They found it right away and returned it as she requested. We were hiking, kayaking and exploring this beautiful area, The outdoor BBQs and tables completed our good time with friends.",

      "traverse:reviewText": "AS a surprise for my husband, who has been working endless hours this summer, I booked a one night getaway (Monday, August 6, 2012) at Sleepy Forest Cottages (As a side note, my husband is from Rome, Italy and had never been to the Big Bear Lake area, so it truly was a complete, unexpected surprise to him). After reading the previous reviews, and searching other cottage rentals in the area, I knew Sleepy Forest was the one I wanted to book. And boy, am I happy I did! From the moment I phoned Curtis, the front desk associate, with questions prior to booking my reservation online, to our departure, we were treated as welcome guests, and I dare say, almost like family, without the somewhat burdensome of a visit to relatives! ;) I searched the various available cottages online, and decide to book cottage 208 1bedroom with fireplace. I originally desired a room with a jacuzzi tub, but after seeing what was available for my particular stay, decided to forgo the tub and take the fireplace & charming front porch instead. When we arrived ( Monday, late afternoon), we were greeted by Curtis, a friendly, warm and courteous fellow, who pointed out all the amenities of the cottages, including offering us free bags of ice, complimentary coffee, tea, hot cocoa or ice water with lemon wedges (granted it was August and a bit warm for any hot beverage), all followed by sweet, yummy cookies. The reception area was spotlessly CLEAN (which was one of my main concerns when booking a privately owned room, as you just never know). It was a welcome relief to see that the owners of Sleepy Forest take REAL pride in their lodgings and keep it spotless. When we arrived at our room, the same cleanliness followed throughout..and the room was perfect for our one night, including the FULLY stocked small kitchenette (down to the paper towels, dish soap and salt and pepper shakers-divine!). We wanted for naught. The grounds were neatly groomed, quiet and felt very private, even though the cabins aren't spaced far apart. There was a family renting the cabin across from us who had two young children, and not once did we hear a peep out the kids..thank you!! I had packed food for a "cook-out style" breakfast for the next morning, to utilize the small, but perfectly functional BBQ area (complete with a picnic table, if needed). The refrigerator & full-sized oven/stove in our kitchenette adequately handled all our food and beverages, complete with a coffee maker, coffee choices teas and added ability to go to the reception area and have fresh coffee there, as an additional option, with pastries in the morning hours. Our comfy king bedroom with ceiling fan, second TV, and attached bathroom was also spotless and came with very nice toiletries including insect repellent (brilliant idea!), bandages and sore throat lozenges! For dinner, we opted for a meal out, after cocktails on the porch and a sunset walk along the lake, which is only 4 short blocks from the property (again, another plus!). The next morning, Curtis afforded us late check-out time, as our room was not booked for that next night (note that we were sooooo tempted to take it for another night, but had to resist temptation due to having to get back to work early the following morning). At checkout, we met Josh, the owner's son, and once again Curtis, who made checkout a breeze. Josh offered a discounted rate the next time we wanted to book, as "return quests", and believe me, we will be taking him up on his offer. The best part besides all that's listed above, is that we had a great internet booking rate for our room, as we visited the property during the week, not on a weekend. Regardless, we plan on returning and we would happily pay a weekend rate, if our visit fell on a weekend...our stay was that worth it! Bravo to Sleepy Forest Cottages! We will be back! (Side note: I had originally looked at Cathy's Cottages to book, but decided against it, as they felt a little further out of town than I would have liked,..I'm happy I chose Sleepy Forest property..it's location is perfectly situated near enough to Big Bear village, but not right on top of it, just far enough away for that mountain getaway feel).",

      "traverse:reviewText": "As i said, if i were to dream up an imaginary cottage, these cottages would appear. My husband and i decided to take a trip up to Big Bear Lake for a short lake adventure and we spent the entire day looking for a reasonably priced lodge for accomadations. I had never expected to find such quaint and cozy, neat and vintage/rustic style cottages available and for a better price than a standard motel and lodge. I am very satisfied with my visit to Sleepy Forest. In fact we are planning on returning again, for longer, in the Winter! The family that built and operates the cottages are very friendly, respectable and family oriented. They always had smiles on their faces, were patient and always willing to help. Very humble and traditional. All the rooms have a vintage flair which i found welcoming and pleasant. My husband and i stayed in room 7 which has an indoor blue jacuzzi. This was the first room we saw and it had such a charm and welcoming energy to it. We were only planning on staying one night but we loved it so much we had to stay for an additional night. These cottages are perfect for a short romantic visit, family travel, single travel...they offer everything for a very reasonable price. The location is ideal as well. It is right off the main road but away from traffic, a short walk to park and swim beach, and a two minute drive into the main village. As for restaurants, i advise Teddy Bear Cafe in the heart of the village.",

I am so glad we checked out reviews for this place or else we would have stayed in a less accommodating cottage! This cottage is like a large RV. It has everything you need and everything has more than one use. The layout is so comfortable, very easy to escape from your busy schedule. The jacuzzi tub is roomy (easily fits 2 adults) and is so nice by the gas fireplace. The staff were very friendly even though we called them several times with questions about the room. We had asked for a late checkout (but couldn't because someone was checking in soon after) but they said that is something they would have done normally. We can't wait to come back hopefully in the wintertime!",

As soon as we walked in, we smelt marijuana mixed with cigarette, all of the windows in the cottage were open, so I'm sure housekeeping was aware of this. These are advertised as non-smoking. We loved how cute the cottage was and we know it is older; however, the floor was extremely gross. I walked barefoot across the room because I forgot some things for my bath. The bottom of my feet were black after taking maybe 20 steps? The floor is extremely damaged also which could be contributing to it not being able to be cleaned properly. The floor was peeling up and lifting. Also, when we went to use the little dining table, we found it to be dirty and one of the chairs felt like it was going to fall apart. When we went to bed, I turned on the night stand light to find crumbs of marijuana left on it and also found it on the floor next to the bed. I notified Cathy and she said she would let the onsite manager know about it, but nothing else came about that. They do have very minimal kitchenware and a hand sink to wash it in. Otherwise, the location was about a 20 minute walk to the downtown area which wasn't too bad for us, but I think next time we will stay closer to the downtown area. We did enjoy the tub in our studio as it is of course the highlight of the room. It also has dual shower heads which I've never seen before so those were nice too. I do not think it was worth the $422 that I payed for 2 nights, but we still were able to enjoy our stay here.",

We tried to contact management to reschedule or get a refund within 2 weeks of making said reservation. About 10 days later we received an email from them offering a rain check as long as it fit within 6 months, did not include Friday, Saturday or Holidays. We paid for 5 nights that included the full weekend. We responded letting them know our ideal rain check. After no response we gave a follow up phone call on the 9th of April. My husband briefly spoke with a women who couldn't be bothered enough to email us back with a yes, no or alternate solution to begin with. She said she didn't know if management could give a rain check for the following year but said there was no one else to speak to about this when my husband asked for a manager. She gave the info at email address. He emailed. Again, no response. We were supposed to check in 4/15 and leave 4/20. I emailed again on 4/20 offering a different rain check date that met all their requirements and still no response. Now We're out the entire amount of our reservation. We looked forward to our wedding anniversary/joint birthdays in Big Bear every Spring. Sleepy Forest has kind of ruined it for us. All they had to do was be decent humans and work with us on coming up with an alternate date. They only seem willing to take our money and give nothing in return.",

Oh yes, and they have DVD's and books to borrow, pastries in the morning and cookies in the afternoon. The only thing I could find wrong with this little gem and I mean the ONLY thing, and you're gonna laugh, there wasn't any kleenex in the bathroom! I found it though! On the nightstand. LOL! Anyway, it's a lovely place and we will definitely come back. There is another cute two story cottage that sleeps six called The Farmhouse on the same property we might check out with friends.

      "traverse:reviewText": "Found Sleepy Forest Cottages by looking on Tripadvisor after unsucessfully searching the Big Bear website. Sure, there are things that could be improved but for the price this was a great place. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive and interested in what you'd done and where you'd been. We stayed in a family cabin, not with an open fire, but a log effect gas fire and gas hot air heating. No jacuzzi either, but it mattered not to us. Ate in 2 nights and out at Teddy Bear's once. A magical few days, walked loads of trails; Champion Lodgepole (difficult to find along dirt roads) and Bluff Mesa, Castle Rock (absolutely superb) as was Cougar Crest and Bertha Peak and the Woodland Trail near the Discovery Centre. Information about trails and how to get them could have been better, perhaps Sleepy Forest could stock and sell trail maps and provide information about the Recreation Pass that is needed when parking. This is our first time in Big Bear, we're here from the UK (Kent) having a few days away from staying with our son and his fiancee in San Diego.",

We read the reviews on Sleepy Forest Cottages and it sounded cozy and convenient to the village and the slopes. It didn't disappoint. About one mile half way between both and really convenient. It was such a relief to be able to go to either place, have a good time and get back to the cottage for either hot chocolate, beer or a good cocktail. The room had all the necessities for doing what you wanted to do in the cottage and do all the rest within convenient access. Josh was the greatest. Anything you needed he seemed to have and very hospitable. We had a great time, had good dinners at Paoli's and Teddy Bear restaurants and this was at the end of the season. We managed to just beat getting snowed in as we high tailed out of town on Rt. 18 and will definitely be back next year.",

We stayed in a two bedroom cabin with a complete kitchen (dishwasher) and bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and large shower. These cabin rentals are in the heart of the town and easy walking distance to the swim beach and Meadow Park. Our two year old daughter had no problem walking to the swim area and the park. The living room was was comfortable and the dining room was large enough to seat eight adults. The cabin had a front porch and lawn area for the children to play. The back deck had a barbecue. They have several units fitting different needs from honeymooners to a family reunion. Also, the cabin is within walking distance to the local McD's, which has a play area for young children. The office sells prestilogs and goodies for a movie night. They have a continental breakfast every morning which is included in the rates, as well as daily maid service. You need to check out their personal video collection which is also a freebie while staying here. In the winter they are a few minutes drive from the ski areas, winter tubing,and the alpine slides. In the summer you have the lake, and nearby alpine bike trails to explore. The owners were very personalable and willing to accomadate and meet our needs if possible. You get a great rate if you book on the internet, and pay even less if you go during the week. I personally think this place is one of the best kept secrets in Big Bear.",

The ambience of the cabin was extremely romantic- the jacuzzi tub and fireplace were a very nice touch. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for peace, quiet and a lot of romance, then consider this location. Bill & Stacey",

    "traverse:narrative:overview": "This demographic appeal analysis provides 22 distinct guest segment profiles for Sleepy Forest Cottages, each built from evidence-based positive and negative assessments sourced from 592 guest reviews across 4 platforms (booking.com, yelp, google, tripadvisor). 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 592 reviews include 152 positive, 29 negative, and 411 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 Sleepy Forest Cottages in Big Bear Lake, California matches their expectations across multiple dimensions including atmosphere, privacy, dining options, activity availability, and value proposition.",
