"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didn’t quite capture the cabin’s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

Gold Mountain Manor Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The Gold Mountain Manor B&B was a gem in the beautiful woods in Big Bear City. The staff was efficient and friendly. The breakfasts were delicious and served on one of the many beautiful tables on the patio! The cozy lodge was decorated with beautiful antiquities, billiard table, games, a fireplace and comfortable couches to relax. We stayed in Bessie's Room, and it was very charming, cozy, nicely decorated and welcoming. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The room had many amenities to enjoy. It is also a wedding venue for those looking for a lovely place to have a special event. I can't say enough about this B&B, and we will definitely be back for another beautiful visit!"

Cathy's Cottages

8/10 Good

"Important Detail, the pictures do not reflect the room you get. The first pictures you see on the description show and in room whirlpool tub that is the reason why we rented in the first place that Room because it was our anniversary. That did not happen. The room was nice very cozy and everything else looked just like the pictures, but there was no tub in the room instead we had a shower within a bathroom. I would highly suggest that the host make some type of note that the room that you will see in the pictures is not the room you’re getting. This was very disappointing. Other than that, it was very clean very safe and the location was close to everything."

88 Acres Cottage in Big Bear w HotTub

8/10 Good

"I have this 4 stars because of the beautiful location. The cabin is cute and I love the vibe but they really need to update the blinds because they were cracking and falling into pieces and the living room TV never worked. Also on top of the fireplace mantle has so much dust on it I would be embarrassed if that was my home. They need a better cleaning service perhaps. I would come back, just pack some bowls since there were not any."
