Fun stay for a larger group. Not much to do on the property outside the cabin's Parks and attractions not far, away. Exiting the property can take some patience cars do pass by fairly quickly.

The bed topper was so old and stiff with permanent crevices created by previous bodies. The room felt dirty and extremely dingy. The window coverings are see thru at night. No privacy

It's a decent place to stay if you are wanting a cozy cabin vibe. The property should stock more cooking implements though, and pots and pans and utensils. The kitchen is in need of a good deep cleaning. The beds are creaky. We like the layout for the 2 bedroom unit. If you have little kids that like to jump around inside the rooms and living areas, this is a good option. You don't have to worry about disturbing neighbors. Have not tried the pool. Overall, not fancy but great affordable option if you plan to be mostly out on the town or ski slopes, and not holed up inside a cabin for your Big Bear vacation.

We recently stayed at the Gray Squirrel Resort. In cabin Rustic Romance, and while the cabin was absolutely beautiful upon arrival, we were extremely disappointed with the cleanliness. As we began bringing in our luggage and settling in, we quickly noticed that the cabin was in an unacceptable state. Upon closer inspection, we discovered dirt, bugs, and even leftover items from previous guests behind nearly every piece of furniture. It was evident that the space had not been thoroughly cleaned. When we went to store our food in the refrigerator, we were shocked to find the sides covered in ants, dirt, and even dead insects. The most unsettling issue, however, was the bed. The bedding was visibly dirty, and when we pulled back the bedspread, we found stains that we could only hope were chocolate. Fortunately, we had brought our own blankets, but this was far from the comfortable and relaxing experience we had anticipated. Instead of being able to unwind, we spent a significant amount of time cleaning everything we planned to use, which was both frustrating and disappointing.

We stayed in a sweetly rustic little cabin for two. It had everything we needed for a comfortable 2-night stay.

Nice property with more space than a traditional hotel room. Closed for season, but would be great to utilize pool and spa in summer. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Cute and Quiet

The Grey Squirrel was the perfect place for us. Far enough from the village to be quiet and calm but close enough to grab any supplies we had forgotten. The property is big and the snow fall was beautiful.

Clean and love the style of the cottage, parking just outside your room.same price per day as the other hotel room but you can cook, you have your own dining and living space. You can just stay and relax there.
