Only got a couple hours of sleep during the day. The neighbors ruined my entire stay, but it was a great place to stay a

Nice location, friendly staff, clean facilities.

A couple staying in the room next to me kept me up all night, the first night of my stay by the woman screaming and yelling up until four in the morning. The next night, I mentioned something about the noise but very politely. Not wanting to cause a problem, I didn’t text my management and didn’t confront the neighbor again. They only kept me up till three in the morning, the second night. everything was perfect on this trip. I took this trip to get away by myself and did not receive one night of sleep. I am let down. And yet I gave you a great rating.

Check your billing statement or they will screw you.

Due to weather conditions, all roads to BB were closed, and we could not get to the motel, yet they attempted to overcharge us. Our booking smotel fee was $67. Yet when we reviewed our CC charge, they had attempted to charge a cleaning fee of close to $70. Making the total charge $142 . For a reservation we could not keep. Needless to say we are disputing the ridiculous overcharge. We stay in B B often, but I will Never book another stay with this place again.

Definitely worth the money. Will be visiting again!

Everything was very clean. The spa with the fire tv placement was great! Perfect for a couple.

The TV kept automatically turning on by itself even when we turned it off with the remote. Was a bit bothersome at night but we unplugged it and everything was great!

We loved everything about our stay. Thank you for making us feel special and safe here.

The room was extremely clean, the fireplace was turned on prior to our arrival to ensure it was nice and warm when we arrived. My favorite was the jacuzzi near the fireplace. Our room had everything from a fridge to dishes, microwave, coffee maker, etc. We loved our stay so much we extended our stay for another day and the receptionist was so helpful. Outstanding service, quick and easy. we enjoy our lovely room another day. Room was conveniently surrounded by restaurants, other cabins and a gas station open 24/7. The location was just perfect. I definitely will be back and recommend Cathy’s Cottages.

I loved everything about my stay.

Overpriced for what it is

The Bathtub and fireplace

The bed is terrible. Additionally they told us we could check in but completely forgot to clean the cottage so it was filthy when we arrived.

I'm going back to Cathys Cottages

The overall feel of the cottage was cozy, bed was comfortable, loved the fireplace. The room was clean, the thermostat was in an convenient location. Across the street from Circle K was a bonus.

Nice, (almost) peaceful stay.

It is a good room, and with an indoor jacuzzi too, Location was easy to find and was a convenient one for my purposes. Very clean property.

Sound isolation is not very good (between paired cabins). When neighbors checked in for the night weekend, all of their (arguably, louder than most usual folks talk) were very much heard, as well as them running their jacuzzi at 12:30AM until 1:30AM. I would recommend to make it more clear to guests what hours for loud activities are acceptable.

Best relaxing spa after bike park

Second time staying in the cottages, love the room and the fact that it has a spa in, after a day in the bike park or snowboarding its the best feeling.

I had bad signal since my phone is from mexico, so it was difficult to get the cottage# and pin code, but cathy was super helpful and gave it by phone.

Budget, in a pinch if you need a decent bed.

Clean. Comfortable bed. Very hot water.

Major Wifi problems. TV wouldn't load, computer and phone very spotty. After following the instructions carefully, I filled the jacuzzi two inches above the jets. I went a little higher just in case. When I pressed the jet button, water from the very back jet went straight up and obviously out of the tub. Needs to be adjusted! Main reason I rented the cabin! The property was extremely unattractive.

Spectacular Vacation

My goodness, I would love to meet Cathy in person. I spoke with her on the phone, and she has the sweetest, nice personality you ever want to hear. She is her Cottage, it makes her, and she makes up for it. The Cottage was very impressive, marvelous, exceptionally appealing. I did not expect it to be so comforting, having all the amenities as if you were at home. I wanted to stay an extra night, one day I plan to stay longer. There is nothing you'll have to ask for. Everything is right written down, explained, supplied. There is two heaters, an air conditioner even though one's not needed in Big Bear. The Cottage is Miraculous, I cannot put it any other way. The guy at the off site office was really helpful, going out of his way to make sure that we got our room. They go way out of their way for their guest. Thank you Cathy, for a wonderful STAY at your Cottage Home. Will visit again. Semi Benson & George Level P. S. We left the place just like when we arrived, but if I could, I would have changed the linen.

That the office is not on the property. Also, the fact that you have to confirm your stay online, 24 hour before your arrival, and to sign the agreement online. But all was worth it.

Disappointing

We loved the spa bath!!!!!

It needs to be updated. The bed is so bad that our backs were hurting us for two days and the love seat sunk in.

My wife and I are very happy with the stay at Cathy's Cottages. Please keep up the good work.

Room was a good size very clean and having a spa in the room with a fire place was great. Shower with good water flow and having very HOT water was a plus. Parking spot right in front of your room was very helpful.

Nothing to complain

Superb

Very cozy, we enjoyed the fireplace & spa tub.

The Wi-Fi sucked. I assume it’s because we were in the mountains but we couldn’t watch anything on the Wi-Fi.

Pleasant

POSITIVES: The cottage had ample room for a couple, the spa was a nice addition, parking directly in front of the cottage was convenient and the cable/wi-fi was good. The bathroom was very large, Also, for the most part it was very quiet and we were able to enjoy down time without a lot of neighbor or street noise.

NEGATIVES: There was definite smell as you walk into the "kitchen" area and grew much more intense when you entered the bathroom/shower. Found long strands of hair throughout, specifically on the living area lamp shade, on the bathroom sink and in the shower. While the king bed was comfortable, it was extremely difficult to get out of. Also, the couch is very dirty and spotted.

Great private getaway!

The decor was so cute and old fashioned but completely updated. It was very clean and had most everything we needed. The staff was so accommodating and helpful . It was pretty quiet and relaxing.

Everything was great! Next time we will bring paper towels to help clean after ourselves, or to set under drinks. We will visit again!

Romantic getaway

Owner was very responsive and communicative and helped with check in. Overall located in a nice area, there’s a circle k right across the street in walking distance and has a Redbox outside that was convenient because the room had a DVD player. The room itself had a homey feeling to it but does have outdated furniture. The room we stayed in included the jacuzzi/spa bath and it was spacious enough for 2 people, and there’s a gas fire place right in front of it to keep you warm. We visited in September and the weather was perfect, hottest it got was in the low 80s. No A/C in the room but it’s not needed, just open the windows and turn on the fans and your room will stay cool. I did love the shower, it’s big enough for 2 people and has 2 shower heads on opposite sides. The room included a mini fridge and microwave as well, a sink next to the fridge area to wash any dishes you may have. The room also included a small table with 2 chairs which was nice to eat dinner on. Overall a cozy property to stay at, a bit pricey so I would recommend going if you had a special occasion to celebrate.

The only thing I didn’t like was the bed and pillows, bed was a memory bed I think and it was too hard for my liking and pillows were too flat and used. I would defiantly recommend bringing your own pillow if you have a picky neck/back like me! My husband liked the bed but everyone has their own opinions!

Because I was with the love of my life...we tolerated and let things go.

The location in proximity with the lake was good. The cottage was cozy and quaint.

The noise of the traffic. Also, there was a residence across the street that had barking dogs at all hours. One even got out of the fenced yard and came over to me. Thankfully it did not harm me and walked away. The large shower head did not work. The ceiling fan had accumulated a lot of dust. The jacuzzi tub sagged in the middle and consequently never drained empty...so Thankfully I brought some lysol disinfectant wipes to clean. We were never offered to have fresh towels or linens to be replaced after spending one week there.

Really Nice Stay. Jacuzzi and Showers worked great. Good location as well.

Some of the furniture could be updated, but no deal-breaker.
