Not worth money. Needs major updates & cleaning.

Check in is at exactly 4pm, don't even bother trying to get early check-in. Check in went well, easy; however, we had to call a phone number and wait for exactly 4pm to get in the front office. The code to get in the cabin was easy and convenient. Parking was great. The cabin itself was spacious; however, it was not great. It was, what i call, a speed clean - just the surface cleaning. I wasn't convinced the sheets were washed, either, as they looked very used with lint and hair on the pillows - just didn't feel clean, so I slept on top of the comforter with my winter coat and a blanket from my car, and i brought my own pillow - thank goodness. There was a quarter inch layer of dust under and around the beds. There was a dirty diaper under the bed and empty water bottles. There were candy wrappers under another bed, along with the layer of dirt and dust. Lots of cobwebs, dust on some pictures and in the corners of ceiling. The bathroom was okay, except for the booger on the wall, above the toliet paper roll. There was also only 1 wash cloth, which was weird for a family cabin. The entire cabin could use an update. The cabinets are old, the light fixtures are old and dirty. The TV is about 10ft off the floor, so it was hard to watch. The cabin was well-stocked, but i didn't use anyone in the cabinetsnor drawers. I didn't want to make a fuss, as i was with my young adult children, and wanted to just enjoy our time and not spend time complaining.

It's a decent place to stay if you are wanting a cozy cabin vibe. The property should stock more cooking implements though, and pots and pans and utensils. The kitchen is in need of a good deep cleaning. The beds are creaky. We like the layout for the 2 bedroom unit. If you have little kids that like to jump around inside the rooms and living areas, this is a good option. You don't have to worry about disturbing neighbors. Have not tried the pool. Overall, not fancy but great affordable option if you plan to be mostly out on the town or ski slopes, and not holed up inside a cabin for your Big Bear vacation.

The bed topper was so old and stiff with permanent crevices created by previous bodies. The room felt dirty and extremely dingy. The window coverings are see thru at night. No privacy

It was an ok stay. Bared minimum: plates, cups, glasses and utensils for 2, handwash everyday. Warm temp experienced at 91 degrees, no fans. Booked and paid for 3 nights, took off and went home after 2. Please ask this property to clearly post their pet friendly policy with FEES. Credit card was charged $303 upon check in. Overall it was nice coming up to the mountain and see the lake is filled up again after the rain we had.

Heaters didn't work. $75 extra cleaning fee for " excessive " cleaning needed. I personally cleaned our whole cabin before leaving and it was left almost exactly as we found it. Shady charges, extremely outdated. Cabins/ rooms. Would not recommend this place and will not be staying again

Cozy, clean cabins close to skiing and BB Village

Stayed here for a girls weekend with my teenage daughter. We had a great time. The cabin was very clean upon arrival, including the bathroom and kitchen. They have cute twinkly lights strung outside. The resort is very close to the Big Bear Village and both ski resorts (Snow Summit and Bear Mountain). We brought our small dog with us which worked out fine. The cabin provided silverware, coffee mugs and dishes for two people. There was one tiny pot which we used to heat a can of soup but bring your own cookware if you plan on making larger meals. There was no toaster so we will bring our own next time. The front desk person I spoke with on the phone was super nice and helped me with selecting the right cabin for us. The cabin also has wifi, a tv with lots of channels including Hallmark which we liked, and an excellent wall heater which heats basically the whole cabin except for the bathroom. The water was hot which was nice after skiing! We enjoyed our mother-daughter ski weekend and will definitely be back. Each cabin has a parking spot right out front. We had no noise issues during our stay. The only thing that could be improved upon would be better towels. They felt kind of damp when we got there like they weren't dried all the way and they were not very absorbent regardless. I recommend bringing your own towels if that is important to you. Other than that, we thought Grey Squirrel was wonderful and we will definitely be back soon. I rate it a 9/10 overall!
