Catalina Creekside Cabin - Log Cabin, Perfect for Couples, Fenced Yard

Unfortunately, we couldn't give it an excellent rating because of the sofa and loveseat. It was very uncomfortable, and it had unsupportive cushions. Everything else was great. We enjoyed using the fireplace. Kitchen well equipped; Beautiful decor; Great location; Quiet; and Space between neighbors. Wildlife passing through included squirrels, bluejays, chipmunks and coyotees. It would be helpful to have an indoor kitchen broom and a new sofa and loveset.

This cabin continues to be a great place for us and our pups to stay every time we come up. Can't beat the location and the huuuuggggeee backyard. We love it.

This is the fourth time that I have booked this charming little cabin. It's the perfect size for my husband, me, and my dog who loves the big fenced backyard with all of the big pine trees. It's become a yearly getaway away for us during this time of year. It's close by the lake and near the grocery store for us to pick things up easily. Booking and being in contact with the company was smooth and easy. Thank you for letting us stay in your adorable little home. We hope to be able to continue to this tradition for our little family.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is convenient, and the cabin was clean and as described.

Comfortable cottage and well equipped. Easy location.

The cabin was immaculate. Kitchen had everything you could need. Ice-maker and trays, plenty of ice. Beds so comfy, sheets, pillows, wow. Blinds all worked perfect. Safe for our and friends dogs. Deck amazing, the trees all around. Enjoyed feeding the blue jays and squirrels peanuts ? So quiet, relaxing. We enjoyed our stay more than you can imagine! The owners really take pride in their cabin, the decor incredible. Thank you, thank you! ? Will for sure book again another time.

THE KITCHEN WAS POORLY EQUIPED (PAPER PLATES, EXTRA PAPER TOWELS STORAGE BAGS FOIL). THE LIGHTING IN THE FAMILY ROOM IS BAD (NO PLACE TO SIT AND READ) BBQ LIGHTER DOES NOT WORK AND WAS NOT CLEAN. THE CODE WE WERE GIVEN WAS THE WRONG ONE TO OPEN THE CABIN DOOR !

We have stayed at this cabin many times, starting years before Cool Cabins managed it, with and without our dog. It's a very relaxing getaway.

This is a well appointed cabin with a big fenced backyard for dogs. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen has everything you might need. The couches are comfortable. Easy to find and close to everything but feels secluded (except for the neighbor's house). However, the gas fire table on the deck had no instructions so we did not feel comfortable using it. Overall a very nice stay.

Everything was fabulous, except at 10:50 am the cleaning crew showed up and started running around cleaning, stripping sheets, and putting stuff around like trash bags, we were finishing up getting all our stuff out, but they interfered with our organization, and we were getting confused and were not able to do a final walk through. They could have waited until 11:00am when we left the cabin and should not have interfered with our cleaning up and leaving the cabin. We left it in very good condition, and we felt stressed out with them there. Other than that, it was fantastic, clean and it was a lovely vacation for us.

From the time we arrived to the time we left, everything was wonderful. A very clean unit, with lots of kitchenware, games, and anything you need to make it feel like home. It was magical.

My family and myself really enjoyed our stay here. It is a very well kept place and the kitchen had all the things you would need to cook. My dogs loved running around in the fenced yard which was great. The only thing I would have to comment on is you use a code to unlock the front door and you hand lock it from the inside. I would have liked a chain or something else to lock the door from the inside because if you have the code anyone can come in. (Property Owner) which I don't expect that but it would have been nice to have that extra sense of security. Like in a hotel you have a latch. Other than that I recommend this place! We will be back?

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute little cabin. The backyard was enormous and perfect for the dogs. (We did see a coyote on the road so be careful). The kitchen was well appointed and had everything that we needed, the appliances were high quality, but the knives definitely need to be sharpened. The place was spotless and we loved having a bathroom for each bedroom. The only issue we had, and it wasn't a big one, was that there really enough light in the living room. This will be my new go to spot every time I go to Big Bear.

We have stayed here 4 or 5 times. We won't stay anywhere else in Big Bear. The house is great and the dogs love the backyard. Thank you. We will be back again.

The cabin was great, looks better than the pictures online, kitchen is fully stocked, has a gas grill and nice fenced in yard for dogs. The flooding was tile which is great because we were worried about walking in with snowy shoes. It was easy to wipe off the snow/wetness. This cabin is perfect for 2 couples. The fact that it is pet friendly is a huge plus. Although the cabin was nice, I didn't like the communication and booking with this management company and website. We didn't get check in instructions or address or any real instructions/confirmation until I called to ask. We were only staying for 1 day and we were driving through a no cell service area so we wanted to know in advance that we are in fact confirmed for the stay and are expected to check in by a certain time and should expect door code by this time and via text/email. It was very disappointing that I had to make that much effort to get check in instructions (called and multiple text messages). I wish the process was explained in the 6 unnecessary emails prior to our stay sent with no real information. Also download their app which was useless. The other thing I had to do was text them a picture of my credit card. This is a huge red flag, if they need to check our cc and ID they should be there at the check in and not having us send sensitive data via unprotected routes.

This cabin is perfect for two couples and their dogs. The décor is super, Big Bear cute. It is well stocked with cooking equipment and bathroom supplies- along with a huge, fenced backyard for your furry companion. . There are a few issues to be aware of.... *Do not leave your dog alone in the back yard. Our first afternoon, we spotted a large, healthy coyote walking the back fence line. *The driveway is very steep and below street level. Catalina is 25mph street but sadly most traffic exceeds that limit. Backing onto the street from the driveway can be treacherous. It is difficult to see oncoming traffic due to the elevation and curviness of Catalina. Better to turn around in the driveway and head out onto Catalina. *The king beds are lovely but very high. If you are short, you may need a step. *You are required to take all trash to a secondary location - when you checkout. *If you are a stickler for privacy, the neighbor's home sits back in their lot and has a direct view into the backrooms of this cabin. There are well functioning blinds on all the windows but backyard activities will be on display. Happily, the next door cabin was never occupied during our stay so it was not a serious issue. My only complaint...a few dishes (coffee cups and plates) were not properly cleaned by the previous occupant - and this issue was apparently missed by the cleaning crew. We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying here.

Overall status is great. The check-in process is a nightmare. We reached there and got the wrong code from the office. We tried the code for 25 minutes before somebody came to help us. The properties is great, but the check in process was a nightmare.
