I took a trip up to Big Bear to get away from the Los Angeles heat wave. I had never stayed at Sleepy Forest but my friend booked her cabin here. I was so happy I was introduced to this place and will be a return customer! The cabin was so cute and cozy! The kitchen was stocked with all of the necessities. It was like having a little home away from home. Check-in and check-out was super easy and the staff were courteous and caring.

The only thing I didn't care for, was the bed was too soft for my taste.

This facility is in serious need of upgrades and its policies as far as paper products need to be re-thought out. I had to basically demand that something be brought in place of paper towels and napkins. That replacement was, wash towels. Grout in the bathroom was missing or had major gaps. The floor of the shower was in serious need of scrubbing. The ice cube maker in the refrigerator which also was antique kept going off every half an hour for trying to pull water into the ice cube maker, but that has been disconnected. There has been many complaints about the quality of the bed or bedding, and I will follow that trend as well . I had several really great conversations with a staff member who was listening intently as to what I felt was subpar and what could be done to try to save someone’s experience and rating it very low. I also talked to the general manager, who also listened intently, but I think he is up to his neck in Upgrades which are still not up-to-date.

Cabin S02 was very comfortable, cozy and efficient. My only complaint would be that there is No AC downstairs. Very uncomfortable on Sat. Night.

The property was very outdated and there was no air conditioning. For the price I shouldn't complain. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff was very friendly.

This was my first experience with 'hands-off' business dealings for an accommodation. I found it a bit impersonal. There were little things in the room that could have used some attention but there was no one to tell. These are cabins in a rustic setting and the exterior light was burned out, I tripped one evening coming back to the room. Luckily I didn't get hurt. But there was no one to tell about the light.

The spa tub was very large and worked well. The bed was comfortable the shower in the bathroom was walk in and had 3 shower heads! The kitchen was very nice. It had a good sized refrigerator and freezer and coffee maker and microwave plus stove and oven with utensils and pots and pans , plates and cups and glasses. Really big fireplace and large flat screen tv. Very quiet area and handy to many restaurants!

We were woken up at 7 in the morning by construction which wasn’t disclosed prior to our arrival.

It’s old and needs a lot of work. The shades were all broken so privacy was def an issue. The spa tub was gross. We ran the jets four times to clean it out and it blew nasty out each time. Decided not to use afterall. The property overall needs work. Probably won’t stay again.

There is no office/employee on site. Check-in was handled via text/email. Couldn't reach anyone by phone to address issues. Very frustrating. The cabin was small, dark and hot...no AC...couldn't open the window for ventilation because there was no screen...The tub was so dirty (old bar of soap stuck in drain). We do not recommend this property.

The property was nothing like the photos online. Windows do not lock. Tapwater was an orange color Furnishings are very dated, although the mattress was firm and good to sleep on. The blinds on the windows had several broken slats and one of the blinds did not function. Television should’ve been replaced many years ago. The remote did not work and because we are techies, we were able to figure out alternative ways to change channels, etc. In general, the cabin was disappointing, and we would not stay there again.

8.0 / 10.0
This little cabin is so cute and quaint. When I walked in, I was impressed by the cleanliness and coziness. The bed is very big and comfy. There is a cozy little sofa and very nice, clean bathroom. The problems were these: you can't change channels on the t.v. from the bed because of the height of the t.v. The mattress kept moving around on the base of the bed. At around 3pm, the cabin got hot and stuffy but there's no air conditioner. It would have been nice to have shampoo, conditioner and lotion like most hotels.

First of all you do NOT speak with a person. No one is there to greet you it is all done by text. Very impersonal. Also I helped them with two 40 inch flat screen tv's that were delivered and sitting in front of the office doors by putting the TV's in the abandoned Office. The grounds of the whole place was very poorly maintained. Our " Cottage " had a crack in the front door which was poorly filled in with clear silicon. Also our room was not finished being painted right by the door. Our bed was sooo uncomfortable the mattress was new but the box spring and frame were old and made the bed into a U shape. So they threw a new mattress on an old box spring and frame so the bed creaked every time you moved. The TV had 3 remotes and none of which turned on or off the TV. The shower had 2 shower heads and only 1 was working. The whole experience was terrible. I asked through a text of course if we could switch to a " cottage " with a bigger or better bed they said " I have 0 Rooms available tonight, I'm at 100% max capacity. ;( ." The sad face emoji was unnecessary. Needless to say we left early. I know we were not going to get a refund but we could not stay any longer and not be able to rest. Last words from our host was " I hope you had a great 4th and another opportunity :) - Amanda. " Sleepy Forest Cottages more like Sloppy Floppy Cottages! NOT worth the $850 spent. Every Hotel and Motel was non-refundable and I can see why. Never going back to that tourist trap.

All in all nice little cozy cottage very close to the lake. Customer service was great ask for a fan and they got it to us fast. It was warmer than normal up in big bear. But all in all not a bad cottage if the weather wasn’t so hot.

I stayed for 4 days. It was very quiet. The area is very chill. Luckily, the other guests were also very quiet. The cottages are also just a short walk away from big bear lake, a must see! I love this town and will visit again soon! And if sleepy cottages has vacancies, i just may book a stay. Note: Food, dinning & shopping isnt as expensive in big bear as you would think. Spend spend spend! Support the economy! 🤗

I must say I enjoyed my 3 night stay at this cottage. Check in was easy, the cabin was clean, plenty towels ,bedding, cookware. There is no laundry facility as noted in amenities. There were a few cracks in the floor tiles, which was no big deal to me. I had my own DVD's for living living room TV. The grounds could have used some attention. My only issue was the faucet in the Shower dripped continuous. The faucet handles could use some replacement. I will be staying here upon my return to Big Bear.

Our stay at Sleepy Forest Cottages was great. My wife and I were looking for a cozy getaway, and boy, did we find it. The cottages had comfy interiors and charming decorations which set up the perfect vibe. Bedrooms were hotel equipped, comfy beds, plenty of linens and blankets. Waking up to the sounds of nature and sipping coffee on our private balcony was pure bliss. The staff (never saw, but spoke constantly through text) went out of their way to make sure we had a fantastic time, hooking us up with awesome recommendations for exploring the area. Whether you're after a romantic escape (w/ a fireplace), snowboarding (which I did, less than 5min drive away) or just some R&R, Sleepy Forest Cottages is the ultimate spot.

This property has put me on point to realize, Expedia’s rating system is so far off in its gauging or it’s interpretation of grading. They gave this place like a 9, when it was a high 5 at best and that was mainly due to the property being in a place like Big Bear Lake, Ca. I would stay clear of this place and would really think about what you are getting since Expedia’s grading system is SO far off.

I loved how quiet and private it was. No one bothered us and we were able to enjoy a relaxing spa experience as well as convenient for places to eat and snowboard. I do wish we had cable and we had silverware, bit we really enjoyed our stay.

The tub was wonderful but the bed was so bad we had to leave early due to not being able to sleep at all. Staff was lovely but many other things were broken not working. We had to leave.

We booked a room with a bathtub in the bedroom. The pictures are different for each room on the listings.
When we got there it was NOT the room pictured in the listing.
They couldn’t get us into a room we were expecting and didn’t offer any compensation for the misleading information. Very upsetting after years of wanting to stay here.
