Big Bear Lake - Tulip Lane Cabin #23 - Micro Cabin

It was quiet

No door on the bathroom

​Our one-night stay at this Big Bear cabin was incredibly pleasant! The space itself was cute, cozy, and perfectly comfortable for a quick mountain getaway. We were delighted by the thoughtful amenities provided, including a full bath, microwave, fridge, and sink, along with a coffee maker, toaster, utensils, and mugs. We were especially grateful that the hosts provided hand soap and dish soap, as we had forgotten to pack them. The logistics of the stay were seamless and private; the check-in and check-out process was entirely self-service, and the hosts were very responsive. We felt secure knowing the door automatically locks, and the code system for entry worked flawlessly throughout our visit. As it was November, the heater was a lifesaver, warming the cabin quickly, and the hot water came up to temperature fast. The quick Wi-Fi and Smart TV (which was compatible with my tablet) were great for relaxing, and having toilet paper already stocked was a small but appreciated convenience.

​While our experience was overwhelmingly positive, we did encounter a couple of minor maintenance issues. The main problem was the shower, as we noticed water spilling out onto the bathroom floor when we used it. Additionally, the main electrical plug-in near the sink in the bathroom was not working. Finally, the windows were only covered by fabric curtains, and we think that having blinds installed would be more practical and provide better privacy. Thankfully, the electrical issue was easily remedied, as there were plenty of other functional outlets around the cabin that we could use instead. These issues are easily fixable and certainly didn't stop us from enjoying a very cozy and relaxing night in the mountains.

Easy to get to and served its purpose for the night with a bed.

Dirty floor and overwhelming smell from the wood burner. Wasn’t quite sure if the door was locked from the inside or not - this was not ideal as a solo female traveller. Door lock could be more secure with an extra bolt on inside.

-Good location.

-The listing says there's BBQ, but it's a gas BBQ and there's no propane tank, so it's unusable. Who carries a propane tank with them? -You need to bring pretty much everything from home to make the place livable. We asked what we need to bring (in addition to bed sheets and towels that they informed us about in the welcome message when we booked) to make the place livable, and they told us that the place is fully equipped with utensils, cooking pots and pans, mugs, water glasses, dishes, etc. However, there was nothing other than a single fork, a single knife, a single water glass, and three mugs – no dishes, no cooking equipment. It's as if you actually have no kitchen in the cabin, so keep that in mind when planning. The listing needs to be more upfront and clear about this.
