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.

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.
