The pavement from the driveway into the property was uneven and unsafe. We tripped multiple times and couls have easily fallen. No air conditioning and weird window in the shower.

This was an amazing place to stay in Big Bear. Very convenient to snowboard and grocery stores are nearby. Very roomy and more than I expected.

Room was large. Decor is odd colors, purple couch, red curtains, blue and grey panel floor…having kitchen amenities is nice, bathroom is small, not well lit, but tub/shower is very adequate. We enjoyed our stay even without electricity our first 12 hours (not really an issue except lack of hot water) due to local electric public safety shut off. Upstairs guests were a bit noisy, as well as people using the stairs. The bed appears to be a firm memory foam, and was fine. The off site personnel were very nice and answered texting promptly. The ONLY real detractor was the very gritty floor which probably needed a good dust mopping. There’s a pretty significant water hammer noise at the kitchen sink. Nothing fancy but pretty adequate.

It’s everything you want in a place that’s affordable and close to nearly everything you’d want. If you’re looking for a cheap clean spot to stay at while looking to snowboard and ski this is your spot!

1 block off main road to/from Big Bear Lake area. Easy to get back and forth pretty much to wherever you like.

The management was really responsive and kind. Overall, this place is average. There is no A/C, so be prepared if you come during the summer. It’s about 10-12 minutes from the main area in Big Bear. The property was quiet.

A very clean, cute room with all of the necessities for a quiet and relaxing weekend. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be back. My husband and I had a wonderful time. The reservation manager, Tanya, was very nice and helpful.

The Tao Cabin was a nice little getaway from reality and a space to relax. The setup was nice and open and I felt like I was at a few different places depending on where I was in the room. The shower was a surprising feature but was very much welcomed!

Property and room was very clean. Bed was extremely comfortable. Room and amenities were very nice, everything we needed was right there. Full size refrigerator, microwave, stove, plates, cups, glasses, utensils. Everything was thought of.
