Not like in the pictures at all. Dull and small rooms, quite cramped. Took us a day to adjust to the heater on the wall as it made a sound and heated the room unevenly OK if just visiting big bear and have a lot of activities planned and not having to spend time in the room

Big Bear was a lovely place to visit but it was let down by our experience with Sleepy Hollow Cottages. The process for registering was to fill in an online form after which the property sends the code for entry, email etc. By the day before, the email with the link had not arrived. I phoned the property but couldn’t get through, just an answerphone. Then had to email via internet AND Expedia. The person I dealt with could not find the booking reference. Eventually sent me a message with the link, which did not work, so I had to enter three lines of letters and numbers manually. Only to discover that the website still did not recognise the booking. Eventually I was given the relevant codes manually and we got into the property okay but the process was very stressful. The property was okay and floors, bedding and the like were clean but windows etc really needed a deep clean. The interior of the property was showing definite signs of age lumps missing from the bath surface for example Everything did work though. Shame really as with a bit of TLC this could be a great venue.

We rented a standard queen bed cabin. It was much better when it was remodeled or new. The cabin was really old and worn out. Mattess was sagging, window screens falling, windows would not stay open, shower heads were tricky snd hard to adjust.... water pressure in the shower was low and there was no vdnting fan. The jet tub was good and area outside had a shared bbq box nearby. Overall, a solid good but not great.

The room was charming, with a nice hot tub. The decor was dated but the room was overall decent, with the exception of the overhead fan. the fan was loud with a variety of tones, noises and shaking. Yes, we could have turned it off but it was hot (even with the windows open) and there was no a/c in the room so my wife an I did not get much sleep. Parking was tight, I have a larger truck and found it easiest to back down the entire driveway to my parking spot so I would be able to exit more easily. Lastly, the staff communicates via text message and everything is contactless which is ok except that it would have been nice to be able to speak with someone more readily available.

The tile floor in the bathroom was completely broken and a rug was just thrown over it. The water temperature in the shower was off in two shower heads. The decor was old and dated, the mattress was hard. I would not stay there again. The staff was the best part of the experience as she was very nice.

Overall good stay. I did notice some ants coming in from one of the sink locations but it’s not an issue. You’re out in the wilderness so it’s to be expected that you might see some insects here and there. Overall really enjoyed the stay.

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. 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 1 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.

Pros: cheap and conveniently located. Tub and fireplace are cool perks. Spacious. Easy check-in. Cons: Dirty and outdated. Our feet were black after walking around barefoot. Holes in the wall left unpainted, cracks in the flooring, baseboards hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The property by us (cabin S01) looked like a junkyard.

This property is in a great central location in town. However, the cabin itself was in disrepair. The chain on the door was broken, there was broken tile in the kitchen, and we didn’t even use the hot tub because the paint was chipped all over and it didn’t seem safe or sanitary. Additionally, there were cobwebs in all the corners of the rooms. Worst of all there was a large red stain on the blanket that I can only assume was blood? Basically, I will rather sleep in my car than stay at this cabin again.
