I would definitely would recommend this spot for couples. Love the quiet atmosphere. They had a double shower. Which is perfect for couples. close drive to everything we need(groceries, shop, restaurants). The only down side I have is that it’s near then main highway so you hear the traffic.

Cozy little cottage centrally located in Big Bear. Plenty of hot water for the shower and hot tub. Plenty of room to lounge around. Except for the bathroom, the floors were a little dirty. The kitchenette could use some upgrading; a two burner stove top would make meal prep easier. The check in process is all virtual. Personally, I would prefer a human touch with having an on-site manager. Other than that, I would stay here again and recommend this property. The rates were very reasonable.
