The check-in process at Sleepy Forest Cottages was extremely easy, and the staff were very friendly, which made for a positive start to our stay. This was my first time visiting Big Bear and staying in a cottage, and overall the experience was enjoyable and memorable. The location is convenient, with most attractions and activities within about a mile, which made getting around very easy. That said, there were a few drawbacks that stood out. Upon arrival, we noticed a bullet hole in the door, which was unexpected and concerning, as it is something I have never encountered before. Additionally, while reviews mentioned that the property had been renovated, the paintwork appeared poorly done in several areas, with visible scuffing and damage that made the space feel unfinished. Unfortunately, the bed was also quite uncomfortable, which affected the quality of our sleep. We did consider relocating to another property but ultimately decided to stay for the two nights. While the cottage has potential to be much better with some improvements, the stay price we paid was reasonable for the location.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Sleepy Forest Cottages. Check-in officially starts at 5pm, which is quite late—especially when traveling a long distance, and this time of year it’s already dark by then. Fortunately, we received a text that our cottage was ready at 2:30pm. Had we known sooner, we would have headed up earlier. The property itself is quiet and clean, with convenient parking right by the cottage. The room is on the smaller side but still offered plenty of space for two people. The gas fireplace was a cozy touch, though it’s set on a maximum 30-minute timer and makes a noticeable countdown clicking sound, so we had to get up frequently to keep it going. The king bed was comfortable, and the separate bathroom featured a walk-in shower with two shower heads. The highlight was definitely the large jacuzzi tub for two—very relaxing and a perfect way to unwind. The smart TV mounted above the fireplace swivels so you can watch comfortably from the bed or the jacuzzi. The location is excellent, with restaurants and shops within walking distance and The Village just a short drive away. Grizzly Manor Café around the corner was fantastic for breakfast. Saucy Mama’s in The Village is also highly recommended—our pastrami pizza was unique and delicious. The lake is just down the street with a nice park, and we even spotted a few resident raccoons exploring the area in search of snacks. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at a very reasonable rate. We would definitely return.

It was very clean. Bed was great - firm! Fireplace, double shower heads, jetted tub, small kitchenette (microwave, coffeemaker, fridge, sink). We never saw the staff - everything was ready when we got there. Communication was through text with a code for the door lock. They checked on us from time to time. Needed a lot of cosmetic work! Cracked ceiling, peeling paint, cracked bathroom tiles, wifi a little slow, sink and bathtub showed some porcelain damage, chintzy door lock.

Check in was odd. They never reached out to me ahead of the check-in time, when we arrived there, we had to scan a QR code and upload info. During check, in the web site / text messages we triggered with the QR code —mentioned we should have received a message so we could have processed that earlier than day of check-in. That would have been nice because then we would have already had our room information and code beforehand rather than having to do it at Sleepy Forest Cottages, outside the front desk (which had no one inside at 730pm). Otherwise. Nice stay.

I liked that the place was clean and close to a lot of walking areas. What I had trouble with was the fireplace smell was a little too strong. However, in the morning I didn't smell it at all. So overall, it was not a problem.

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.
