“Beautiful Weekend Stay” We woke up to majestic views even better than in the photos. The dock was nearby and we took the kayak out on the lake. There was a brand new barbecue which we enjoyed using. The house was very clean with lots of space but felt cozy. We loved the jacuzzi in the bedroom and the working fireplace in the room made it more romantic. Lovely lakefront cabin experience!

“Beautiful house 100 yards from lake, but a few things didn't work and/or needed repairs.” As rental homes go, especially one permitting dogs, this one was in excellent shape & had plenty of room for our two families w/ kids (ages 5 - 15). The putting green, horse shoes, dog run, and foosball table gave us things to do in the sun and rain. The carpets seemed like-new, there were plenty of dishes, pans, etc well marked on cabinet doors; it is walking distance to the town, but a lack of sidewalks in the area makes it risky to walk. A few things kept this from being 5 Stars: lack of AC (and initially a lack of fans that worked, but maintenance did bring two new ones) because w/ an 80F day the upstairs master BR stayed hot all night long, a few tvs weren't connected to cable (not necessarily a bad thing w/ kids), 2 remotes didn't work, hot tub got algae after 1 day, broken bottles in make shift fire pit in back yard, & lack of a late check out (cleaning crew were there @ 10:45 and requested entry at 11:00 even though I was hauling stuff out; this resulted in not checking 1 closet & forgetting items that the management charged us $25 to go look for & additional $ to mail out.) When I tried reserving rentals in this area I asked agencies how far the homes were from the lake, & what the conditions were from the home to the water; this organization, like others, would/could not give me an answer. Because Southern CA is in drought I know water levels are much lower and there is more exposed land that is marsh like. For anyone interested in knowing the water is 100 yards from the back of the house, about 80 yards of that is a dirt/beach/rock area, & the last 20 yards is the mud/marsh. The lake to very shallow at the dock area, I fear jet-skis would get caught in the plants at the docks; it was difficult enough moving our SUP boards from the dock water and even 25 yards from the shore without getting fins tangled a bit. More things were beyond control of the owner. A large pit-bull mix named "Lucy" or "Lucky" that weighed 120 + lbs roamed the back yard & beach on 2 days w/ no owner. Myself & other parents in neighboring rentals & hotels, kept kids at a distance & held our own dogs on leashes; the dog's owner never answered phone, & Animal Control came out. The neighbor on the property line has a dilapidated boat w/ plants growing around/in it (it looks like a decoration) & became upset when my autistic 8 yr old (rushing to bathroom) peed on it; don't touch the boat or walk on the rock stairs!

“Absolutely wonderful!” This is the 3rd year I've taken my son and daughter with their families to Big Bear and the first time I've booked with Cool Cabins as we were unable to book the cabin we have previous used due to renovations. I found the service with Cool Cabins to be good, and I liked how the cabin was set up for us, such as dock canopy,plenty of towels,and soaps.I rented this particular cabin because of space.I was amazed at the size, beauty and comfort level of this cabin.I love to cook for my family so the available seating in the dining area was perfect. The kitchen was fantastic, fully stocked with plenty of cookware and awesome appliances. We spent most of our time on the water boating and rafting,fishing and some golf. The weather was great, I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to rent this cabin.

“Fun home, tons of room, gorgeous view of the lake!!!” Our family had a ball in your home this past weekend! The game tables were a hit with my kids!!! Waking up to that lakefront amazing beauty was one of my favorite parts!!! We all would gather down in the great room and admire the beauty and the pelicans and ducks!!! We all thought of how perfect this home would be in the summertime!!! The only thing I can say that may deter us from renting this home again is the lack of washer and dryer! My boys were in and out of the snow all day, and after the slopes you really want a dryer! I wore wet gloves on the second day, and the boys snow pants never really dried all the way! Just a small inconvienance but I wish I would have realized this before I booked!!! Also, having no wifi proved tough for my husband with work! Thankfully, McDonalds and Starbucks has free Wifi and we made trips there often! This is a spacious and comfortable home, and we thank you for such a memorable and great weekend!!!
