      Overall a good experience

      Left on 04/04/2013 for a stay in March 2013

      Overall a good experience, a 3 1/2 star. We had a great time during our 3 night stay in this cabin, which means that the following issues didn't ruin our stay, but it would be nice to see a bit of improvements in the following areas:
      - some areas are not very clean (the fan above the dining table especially, don't turn it on!)
      - some beds needs to be replaced as they are so uncomfortable (like the twin bed in the upstairs bedroom)
      - the outside deck needs a serious refresh
      On the positive side: spacious, good amenities overall, well equipped kitchen, good wi-fi, good location, etc. It was also nice to see sponges, soaps, and various other little things being provided.

      Not something that I would like to repeat.

      Left on 03/14/2013 for a stay in February 2013

      Numerous issues, most of which were corrected eventually. Had to call the office repeatedly and was treated as if my expectations were out-of-line. Office personnel were condescending. Tacky, shabby interior. Furniture that you would expect to find on the curb for donation. Extras (pool table; air hockey, Foos-Ball table)were either broken or missing parts. Was not as represented on the Website. Very disappointed.

      A Great Family Experience

      Left on 03/14/2013 for a stay in January 2013

      This home had everything we needed. It's very close to the resorts - not much mountaing driving! The layout of the house suited us perfectly - the teenagers stayed downstairs near the game room. The adults stayed in the two bedrooms on the entry level - no stairs to navigate! There was plenty of seating.
      The only thing I would recommend is to add more televisions. There should be one in each bedroom as well.

      So nice we stayed an extra day

      Left on 12/27/2012 for a stay in December 2012

      We have a big family and it had something for everyone. The check-in was fast and easy, the neighbor was friendly and helped us in and showed us around, we had a 1 year old and a very picky 30 year old (my little brother) and we all had a great time. The cabin was very centrally located so we were able to shop or eat or play with ease. The parking area was a little small if you have larger vehicles like we did and a couple of the beds were a little lumpy. Other than that there was plenty of space and fun things to do!

      Left on 11/01/2012 for a stay in October 2012

      Our stay at this house was amazing!!! We came up to big bear for their Oktoberfest (highly recommend going). We were a party of 12 adults. Everyone was had a blast. The house is huge, nice view and it has a game room!!! The only reason I'd give this house a 4 is because the game room looks a lot better than what it is.

      worst cabin yet

      Left on 10/10/2012 for a stay in October 2012

      We rent cabins every year for my husbands birthday, but this was the first year we brought the family. We chose this cabin for having a "back yard" and "gameroom". Ha! Back yard was so badly overgrown with weeds/tall grass that our dogs couldn't even manage through it. Nothing in the game room even functioned! We tried or very best to enjoy it a little, the air hockey and foosball tables should just be tossed. False advertising! The furniture was filthy and very uncomfortable. Missing blinds everywhere. Tvs were on their way out. Bed had hardest mattress ever! Room downstairs looked like the Heavens Gate Compound where they committed mass suicide. Very creepy. There were no tools provided to clean up our fire ash. All other cabins provided one complimentary bundle if wood, but not this one. Kitchen was bare; other cabins provide basic kitchen needs and a few extras. Board games were in disarray. There had quite obviously not been any cleaning crew for a very long time!! So much dust and smell of dirt. Even the blankets were dirty and musky. We were very embarrased to have brought our parents with us. We will not use big bear cool cabins again, and please avoid trouble and discomfort by not renting this cabin.

      Not as described

      Left on 08/09/2012 for a stay in July 2012

      The cabin itself was clean and spacious. The rooms were not set up
      as described. Two rooms should have had a twin bed in addition to a queen/king bed. Instead, one room had a king bed, another a queen bed, and another has two queen beds with two twin beds. It became more difficult to work out sleeping arrangements. The tv in the game room was actually sitting on the floor in one of the bedrooms. The toilet in one of the restrooms did not work. I probably would not stay there again.

      Disappointed in overall condition of property.

      Left on 07/18/2012 for a stay in July 2012

      Brought a small dog. Grass was 2 feet high in back yard. Yard was unusable. No screens on windows, temp. was near 90 and humid. Had to keep all windows closed. Railing was so loose on deck, I have a special needs child and did not dare let him on deck.All the games,Fooseball, Air Hockey, and Pool table were all broken.Fans did not work. Could not sleep in lower beds, they were infested with ants. Cable did not work, so no TV. Five bored kids...

      not what i thought

      Left on 01/02/2012 for a stay in December 2011

      well first off, the home is not what pictures show. the home is not worth the money they ask. the home has many many cosmetic as well as major problems. as a building inspector i must say if i worked in this area i would have allot to write up about this home. i enjoyed the service i received from the rental company but the home even though spacious, its in really bad shape and not worth the rental income they ask. That being said i will not use them again.

      Left on 12/21/2011 for a stay in December 2011

      I brought 9 teenage boys for a birthday weekend in the snow. Alpine estates was spacious enough that I didn't hear them while they played in the game room. That being said the cabin itself was not kept well. The shades were broken, the TVs were not easy to use, there were no tools for the fireplace, the sink had a leak, and one of the toilets didn't flush well. In spite of all that, it suited my basic needs.

      Ummm... Not Good

      Left on 09/01/2011 for a stay in August 2011

      Well where to begin? The photos of this house do not show it as it is at all. I was stunned to discover the house in shabby run down condition. Upon calling I was told that I could move to another house but I would pay any price difference. Fine it was inconvienent but we would move...oh but sorry your dog can't go. So what do I do??? Drop my dog off at the pound?! We were stuck in this house for a weekwith no options from Cool Cabins! We had them send the cleaning people to clean the extensive dust, spit out sunflowerseed shells that were everywhere including down the sofas, and general cleaning that had not been done properly. They took two hours to arrive!By the time they got there I had done most of the work myself...great start to a vacation! The outside decks are very rickity and the Cool Cabins maintainence man just shook his head and said the job was too big for him! Thanks!! He also was supposed to fix a broken chair and never returned. The entire house is very shabby and outdated. Broken floor tiles stained carpet mismatched wall touched up paint etc... Everything in the kitchen appeared to have been used and never cleaned. All of the utensils in the drawers were crusted with old food! So Gross! We had planned on Bbqs since it is advertised as having a grill...this grill is a filthy and tiny webber charcoal deal! We ate out every night and thank god the dollar store had a few things we could use for sandwich prep! I will never ever use this service again and have discovered that it is well known for this sort of mismanagement of properties! I feel sorry for the owner of this home as we were informed by neighbors that he hasn't checked on the house in a few years!!! Hope he doesn't think it looks like the pictures anymore...

      Lot's of space for sleeping & 2 separate gathering areas!

      Left on 07/06/2011 for a stay in January 2011

      Great cabin with multiple bedrooms and a game room downstairs. Game room would be perfect for a family where kids and parents wanted to be a little separated. We had took a twin bed out of one room so 2 rooms could be for a couple each. We had a great time and it's close to the slopes! Couldn't get the wireless internet to work after multiple calls for the WEP Key so that was a little frusterating because service there is bad.

      Left on 06/29/2011 for a stay in June 2011

      On the plus side, the house was laid out well, and offered lots of room for all. The kitchen was well stocked with eating utensils, pots, pans, etc. Lots of fun playing pool, air hockey and games. The box spring mattress on two of the beds were broken, and the beds were unusable. It was very warm,and there is no air conditioning or portable fans to use. The only ceiling fan upstairs was so dirty, it could not be used. The only ceiling fan downstairs was not attached properly, and was not usable.

      Spacious home

      Left on 03/10/2011 for a stay in February 2011

      The home was big enough for four families with kids. Four baths was also good, along with having games to play.

      The only negative is the beds are "springy".

      The beds were terrible, they were broken so they had "holes" on one side, it was very uncomfortable to sleep in them. Also, the house wasn't so clean. The sheets looked dirty and the carpet in the bathroom smelled terrible.

      I liked very much, the house was clean and has everything we needed , only the water heater was kind of small for 10 persons to live in the home.
