It was perfect for a getaway from all the fireworks in Los Angeles. It was very quiet and peaceful. ##### Kimberly G.

Comfy, economical and exactly as depicted in the pictures. ##### Peter L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RENEE P. 25 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful peaceful cabin It was quite lovely and clean. I had some issues connecting the tv but a text later someone was there to fix it. The view and neighborhood was very peaceful and close to everything I needed. BIG plus for being pet friendly because I brought my precious pups a golden retriever named Philip and Mika my Belgian malinois. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. ##### RENEE P. ### 4/10 Poor #### Greg P. 6 Sept 2018 #### Very rustic, basic, without cable TV Overall the place online looks better than in-person. In general, the place is a little run-down. The bed upstairs was quite uncomfortable. The kitchen was very limited and if you plan on watching TV, you need Netflix or Amazon prime account. Although, I was not planning on watching a lot of TV while there, it caught me off-gauard that the unit did not even have basic cable. ##### Greg P. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marisol G., San Marcos, USA 17 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cottage My husband and I wanted to take our boys (14 & 12) to snow board and this was the perfect spot. It was close enough to all the snowboarding, skiing and restaurants. When we arrived at the cabin it felt totally cozy. Boys loved the yard and immediately started playing in the snow. Super cute cabin. It had all the essentials. It wasnt as clean as I would expect. The couch was very dirty, so I put one of our blankets on it. There was hair in the bathroom floor and sink and spiderwebs on the ceiling. But I would totally stay here again. We fired up the fireplace and it kept place super warm along with the heater. The heater in the bathroom was extra nice, especially after coming out of the shower. Overall we loved it and had a great time. Would highly recommend. ##### Marisol G.

I want to start by saying we have rented from Cool Cabins several times and always really enjoyed the homes/never had any problems. Unfortunately, that was not our experience this time. The house we rented was just dirty….top to bottom. We had to wash all dishes and cooking utensils prior to using as they had been put away dirty; not just one or two with missed spots but greasy, caked on food in many cases. I suspect that a previous guest didn't want to do dishes and just put dirty ones in the cabinet. The floors, walls, couch, etc were all also very dirty. I would have thought that the clean had been skipped after the last guest but we did have fresh linens so that wasn't it. The house is in a good location, has parking, a front and back patio, and a smart tv but I would skip renting this again just due to how dirty it was. ##### Becca S.

The property was nice, cozy, and as described. Super close to the resort, which made for a little difficulty getting in and out, but not too bad. Walls are thin and neighbors are a bit noisy at times. Made it difficult to rest and relax when there's loud music blaring late at night. However, other than that, our stay was great. ##### Rory C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris C. 28 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful get away Enjoyed the cabin immensely.

The neighborhood is very quiet. The cabin was perfectly adequate for my wife, our basset hound, and me. The kitchen is abundantly supplied, and the bed was very comfortable. The Cool Cabins staff were very friendly and efficient. We would certainly use them again in the future! ##### Robert and M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie w. 10 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing 4TH OF jULY GET AWAY Best 4th of july !! Amazing fireworks show on the lake!! We went hiking in the morning, BBQ with friends that evening, watched fireworks.. out on the boat the next day.... What was a bonus was the cabin was close to everything...oh and on Wednesday nights there a car cruise at "Get a Burger" really good burgers.... ##### Laurie w. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zachary E. 9 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely, close and practical. Lovely little home good for two in my opinion. Small beds upstairs would be fine for a single adult each or two kids in one, but two adults in one and you’d be wanting a divorce. Dog owners - there’s a little fenced in backyard that’s fine. Lovely little place close to anything as long as you have a vehicle. ##### Zachary E. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jim B. 6 Jun 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good Stay Great location. Could have been much cleaner, floors, dishes & couches. DVD player would skip, multiple discs tried. Bedroom night stand flimsy, would spill water. ##### Jim B.
