10/10 Excellent

"I stayed Aug 23 and 24th, Was a last minute little spontraneous get away. Called ahead with a few questions. Spoke to B. He was very nice and very helpful. I arrived on Sunday afternoon, he was very receptive, easy to communicate with and get me all checked in to the property. Little cottage was super nice. Clean, smelled good, Has a nice AC. and also a stand up big fan in the cottage if your one that needs a fan. Kichen was furnished and clean, Bathroom was furnished and clean. Wish the shower was a little bigger but it was just fine for what i needed. Easy to access property with plenty off parking close to the cottage. Very quiet area, a lil on the private sid, relaxing and peaceful. A 5 min drive to The village and so many places to eat very close. Also a nice little convienient store next to property that has about anythhing you might need from food, snacks, alcohol, etc. Will definitely plan on staying here again. I brought my dog and she loved it, plenty of places for her to walk around and stretch out if your a travelling pet owner this was PERFECT for a dog. Was 1st time in Big Bear and for the price over some of the higher rated places or places closer to down town, this was well worth it. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks again to B for being such a gracious and helpful host."

Arkouda Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Front Desk staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Big Bear. They were able to help my wife and I with places to take our dog on the lake, and where some great options were to grab food and drinks. Room was clean and very cute. It was spot on to the description and photos on the website. Very close to the lake, and easy to get to Big Bear Village from the hotel. Would absolutely stay here again with my dog when I am in Big Bear again."
