Everything was beautiful front desk very helpful tha cabins super cute i will say the only thing is that there is no air conditioning at least in the cabin i stayed in but the weather is beautiful iy wasn't much need it nothing thay a fan can't fix wich is provided by the property i love this place 9 out 10 over all close to everything very recommended ❤️
It was an ok stay. Bared minimum: plates, cups, glasses and utensils for 2, handwash everyday. Warm temp experienced at 91 degrees, no fans. Booked and paid for 3 nights, took off and went home after 2. Please ask this property to clearly post their pet friendly policy with FEES. Credit card was charged $303 upon check in. Overall it was nice coming up to the mountain and see the lake is filled up again after the rain we had.
Heaters didn't work. $75 extra cleaning fee for " excessive " cleaning needed. I personally cleaned our whole cabin before leaving and it was left almost exactly as we found it. Shady charges, extremely outdated. Cabins/ rooms. Would not recommend this place and will not be staying again
Stayed here for a girls weekend with my teenage daughter. We had a great time. The cabin was very clean upon arrival, including the bathroom and kitchen. They have cute twinkly lights strung outside. The resort is very close to the Big Bear Village and both ski resorts (Snow Summit and Bear Mountain). We brought our small dog with us which worked out fine. The cabin provided silverware, coffee mugs and dishes for two people. There was one tiny pot which we used to heat a can of soup but bring your own cookware if you plan on making larger meals. There was no toaster so we will bring our own next time.
The front desk person I spoke with on the phone was super nice and helped me with selecting the right cabin for us. The cabin also has wifi, a tv with lots of channels including Hallmark which we liked, and an excellent wall heater which heats basically the whole cabin except for the bathroom. The water was hot which was nice after skiing! We enjoyed our mother-daughter ski weekend and will definitely be back. Each cabin has a parking spot right out front. We had no noise issues during our stay. The only thing that could be improved upon would be better towels. They felt kind of damp when we got there like they weren't dried all the way and they were not very absorbent regardless. I recommend bringing your own towels if that is important to you. Other than that, we thought Grey Squirrel was wonderful and we will definitely be back soon. I rate it a 9/10 overall!
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.
The cabin floor was incredibly dirty. Walking barefoot and my feet turned black.
Kitchen is beyond sub-par. Pots were dented, stovetop only had one working burner (the ignition spark wasn't working on the other 3).
Pool was out of service even though we were told it would probably be fine by the second day of our stay.
Dirty bedsheets in floor of upstairs closets.
Bathrooms were very hastily cleaned, and it showed.
