Hot tub water barely comes out. Took literally over a hour to get the water past the jets in tub. The floors were dirty. The bathroom tile was cracked in the shower and around the toilet, felt like you were gonna sink in. One side of the shower got hot and cold water, while the other has just cold water. To top it off we left for the day, to come back and all the parking was filled up. The owner was great, for the most part.

This was our first time staying at Cathy's Cottages, and although there were a few minor things we would have liked it was an overall great stay. The room was clean, they offer all the amenities, and the fireplace as well as the tub was the absolute best. We used the tub each night and it made the whole trip worth it while having the foreplace on. It was relaxing and just agreat experience. Check in and out was seamless and all info provided ahead of time. We will definitely be returning.

Difficult reservation system, Communication by text only. The links were troublesome for confirmation. Very clean, spacious, disappointing getaway with heavy traffic on Big Bear Blvd The gas fireplace was not the same as a wood-burning fireplace. Will be sure to get a cabin off Big Bear Blvd. next visit .

OK, clean but dated

The hot/cold controls on the hot tub are really lose almost falling out of the hole, lighting is really dim, pull chain for the ceiling fan was missing (i fixed it myself) parking is tight for a full size truck or SUV, trees had been partially trimmed over our parking spot but not trimmed enough. The branches put a nice scratch in the roof of my truck. Other than that the place was clean and quite, just old

Nice place for the weekend if you're looking for a quaint, cute, little spot. However, it could use some upgrades. Couch was the worse and even looked stained. However, we put a sheet on it and it worked for a couple nights.

Cozy, just needs upgrades

Super cute room. Bed was hard, yet you sunk in. Couch was very, very worn down. You can feel the metal bars when you sit down. Jacuzzi tub is super cool, but unfortunately the jets in my cabin weren't working, but I still enjoyed the tub very much. You're also able to watch TV from the tub, which is really nice. The shower has 2 shower heads, be prepared to lose a little water pressure when using both. I enjoyed the location, very close to a lot of things. There is assigned parking via a sign on one of the cabins. I would 100% stay here again if they upgraded the bed and couch. There is a mini fridge and microwave, both work well. There weren't any tissues in the room, which I thought was odd.

The Wi-Fi is not very good and therefore there were some issues with television reception, but the bed was so comfortable the Jacuzzi tub so refreshing. I enjoyed having the microwave and coffee maker in my room as well as a large bathroom area beautiful cozy fireplace that I’ll come back in the winter to enjoy.

Great Romantic Getaway

Very Cozy with a nice, firm bed, fireplace, couch and jacuzzi tub wide enough to sit side by side snd watch TV. Also loved the two shower heads with plenty of room to shower together. Located North of Division Rd so we got a chance to explore reataurants and shops we don't typically see when staying close to the villiage, like a newly discovered favorite, Pickles Pie Shop, where you'll find the best home made pies on the mountain. Order ahead, they run out fast.
