Bed was great - firm! Fireplace, double shower heads, jetted tub, small kitchenette (microwave, coffeemaker, fridge, sink). We never saw the staff - everything was ready when we got there. Communication was through text with a code for the door lock. They checked on us from time to time. Needed a lot of cosmetic work! Cracked ceiling, peeling paint, cracked bathroom tiles, wifi a little slow, sink and bathtub showed some porcelain damage, chintzy door lock. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### daniel 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Tanya had the room heated up and check in was easy and didnt have to go into office.

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. ##### Jorge Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good Stay 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. ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### You should stay here Fantastic cabins, amazing staff, excellent location! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 12 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirk A 17 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfort and quiet Was so surprised and happy with the cabin. We were able to get away from the world for our tine there and relax. The cabin was spacious and clean. Will definitely stay here again next time i come up. ##### Kirk A Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 12 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This place was amazing, the staff is attentive and super helpful, super easy check in process. 10/10 would stay again. Super close to the village so that’s a plus, on site parking is always nice! The bed was a little stiff but everything about the Sleepy Forest Cottages was great ##### Joseph Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness 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. ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 12 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay here! Loved the Sleepy Forest cottages, so quaint and great amenities ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lolita 5 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had an amazing stay at the sleepy Forest. The staff was very friendly made sure we checked in safely. Our accommodation was nice and cozy. Definitely returning for another stay. ##### Lolita Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph 5 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89018ec5-f168-4bb9-b4e4-11e913ea641d-1764899394671.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ea776e1-5ef1-40cb-a382-cbcf7ae4bebd-1764899393274.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39055b79-10dd-4b3b-8997-4e915f79b06e-1764899394706.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f741c68b-9fda-4a0b-8902-3a51a974956d-1764899397507.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super cute cozy room. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristina 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was better than expected, love the full kitchen, fully supplied.

Great price ##### Ingrid J Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeffrey Paul 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jeffrey Paul Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Quiet and relaxing ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hill House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mendocino-Hotels-Hill-House-Inn.h181081.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Valley Ranch, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Valley-Ranch.h423710.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Multi-Family A-Frame Cabin: 9 Beds + Lake Access + AC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Arrowhead-Hotels-Summer-A-Frame-Cabin-Lake-Access-AC.h79186206.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > > [Sacred Sands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Joshua-Tree-Hotels-Sacred-Sands.h39764924.Hotel-Information) > > [Ojai Valley Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Ojai-Valley-Inn.h28098.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Mattei's Tavern, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Olivos-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Matteis-Tavern.h69938507.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Cambria-Beach-Lodge.h1101749.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Hawk Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Placerville-Hotels-Red-Hawk-Resort-Casino.h97119811.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Lake-Tahoe-Vacation-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h64098.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottage Inn By The Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Cottage-Inn-By-The-Sea.h150921.Hotel-Information) > > [Spyglass Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Spyglass-Inn.h41235.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Mission-Inn.h21218.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Couples Cabin near Park Gate Entrance to Sequoia Nat'l Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fresno-Hotels-Romantic-Couples-Cabin-Near-Park-Gate-Entrance-To-Sequoia-Natl-Park.h33495653.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Barstow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victorville-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Barstow.h1677525.Hotel-Information) > > [TETRA Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunnyvale-Hotels-TETRA-Hotel.h59450839.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brentwood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brentwood-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Brentwood.h15581580.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Melody Ranch Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Melody-Ranch-Motel.h10080334.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Otter Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Sea-Otter-Inn.h898589.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Buena Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buena-Park-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Buena-Park.h12753.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Milpitas Silicon Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milpitas-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Hotel-Milpitas-Silicon-Valley.h11349.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor House Inn Morro Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Harbor-House-Inn-Morro-Bay.h79558.Hotel-Information) > > [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) ---
