The property was very outdated and there was no air conditioning.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.

It is absolutely not what you see in the picture, an out dated run down shack,unsanitary sexual stains on the sheets we walked in and right out

Better than expected. I look forward to staying again in the near future.

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.

Clean

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.

Beautiful property and peaceful stay! I will definitely come back!

It was nice and quiet. We had a warm night. And only able to open 1 window the other window was missing window screen therefore had no cross ventilation.

Room was ready early, clean, as advertised

Fantastic cabins, amazing staff, excellent location!

The staff arr super amazing and attentive, they communicate via text and are, quite possibly, the most hptul.human beings on the planet. The room was great, Jacuzzi in the room, everything was cleans and the bed was very comfy. Everything was excellence and we will absolutely be staying here again.

The heater was noisy and Old and the shower delivered only near-boiling water.

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! 🤗

Cute, quiet and cozy cottages. I highly recommend it.

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.

Loved the Sleepy Forest cottages, so quaint and great amenities

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.

Stayed in the king bed suit. The amenities and room were great! Had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay with the family. Will definitely come back here for our Bug Bear trips!

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 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.

This was such a cute spot to stay in ! I fell in love and will most likely book again for another stay 💕 I love the self check in and the communication they had !

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.
