Loved this place! I had an awful few weeks and needed to relax and this place delivered! Not only was the bed relaxing, the tub nice and hot, but they allowed me an early check in when I told them how long I've been on the road. Definitely coming back.
Great location next to pine knot trail and the Aspen picnic area. Also a good ways off of the main road big bear blvd. It was a very run down cabin though but service (at golden bear cottages) was great.
