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.

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 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.

Very communicative which was nice. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. It could use some light maintenance here and there as it’s fairly old, but all the important things were clean, functional and comfortable.

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.

Pros: cheap and conveniently located. Tub and fireplace are cool perks. Spacious. Easy check-in. Cons: Dirty and outdated. Our feet were black after walking around barefoot. Holes in the wall left unpainted, cracks in the flooring, baseboards hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The property by us (cabin S01) looked like a junkyard.

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.
