I liked that the place was clean and close to a lot of walking areas.
What I had trouble with was the fireplace smell was a little too strong. However, in the morning I didn't smell it at all.
So overall, it was not a problem.

It was very clean. Bed was great - firm! Fireplace, double shower heads, jetted tub, small kitchenette (microwave, coffeemaker, fridge, sink). We never saw the staff - everything was ready when we got there. Communication was through text with a code for the door lock. They checked on us from time to time.
Needed a lot of cosmetic work! Cracked ceiling, peeling paint, cracked bathroom tiles, wifi a little slow, sink and bathtub showed some porcelain damage, chintzy door lock.
Tanya had the room heated up and check in was easy and didnt have to go into office. Great price great central location to enjoy all big bear has to offer.
The check-in process at Sleepy Forest Cottages was extremely easy, and the staff were very friendly, which made for a positive start to our stay. This was my first time visiting Big Bear and staying in a cottage, and overall the experience was enjoyable and memorable. The location is convenient, with most attractions and activities within about a mile, which made getting around very easy.
That said, there were a few drawbacks that stood out. Upon arrival, we noticed a bullet hole in the door, which was unexpected and concerning, as it is something I have never encountered before. Additionally, while reviews mentioned that the property had been renovated, the paintwork appeared poorly done in several areas, with visible scuffing and damage that made the space feel unfinished.
Unfortunately, the bed was also quite uncomfortable, which affected the quality of our sleep. We did consider relocating to another property but ultimately decided to stay for the two nights. While the cottage has potential to be much better with some improvements, the stay price we paid was reasonable for the location.

Good Stay
Very communicative which was nice. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. It could use some light maintenance here and there as it’s fairly old, but all the important things were clean, functional and comfortable.
Was so surprised and happy with the cabin. We were able to get away from the world for our tine there and relax. The cabin was spacious and clean. Will definitely stay here again next time i come up.
We rented a standard queen bed cabin. It was much better when it was remodeled or new. The cabin was really old and worn out. Mattess was sagging, window screens falling, windows would not stay open, shower heads were tricky snd hard to adjust.... water pressure in the shower was low and there was no vdnting fan. The jet tub was good and area outside had a shared bbq box nearby. Overall, a solid good but not great.
This place was amazing, the staff is attentive and super helpful, super easy check in process. 10/10 would stay again. Super close to the village so that’s a plus, on site parking is always nice! The bed was a little stiff but everything about the Sleepy Forest Cottages was great
Loved the Sleepy Forest cottages, so quaint and great amenities

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: cheap and conveniently located. Tub and fireplace are cool perks. Spacious. Easy check-in.
Cons: Dirty and outdated. Our feet were black after walking around barefoot. Holes in the wall left unpainted, cracks in the flooring, baseboards hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The property by us (cabin S01) looked like a junkyard.
We had an amazing stay at the sleepy Forest. The staff was very friendly made sure we checked in safely. Our accommodation was nice and cozy. Definitely returning for another stay.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Sleepy Forest Cottages. Check-in officially starts at 5pm, which is quite late—especially when traveling a long distance, and this time of year it’s already dark by then. Fortunately, we received a text that our cottage was ready at 2:30pm. Had we known sooner, we would have headed up earlier.
The property itself is quiet and clean, with convenient parking right by the cottage. The room is on the smaller side but still offered plenty of space for two people. The gas fireplace was a cozy touch, though it’s set on a maximum 30-minute timer and makes a noticeable countdown clicking sound, so we had to get up frequently to keep it going.
The king bed was comfortable, and the separate bathroom featured a walk-in shower with two shower heads. The highlight was definitely the large jacuzzi tub for two—very relaxing and a perfect way to unwind. The smart TV mounted above the fireplace swivels so you can watch comfortably from the bed or the jacuzzi.
The location is excellent, with restaurants and shops within walking distance and The Village just a short drive away. Grizzly Manor Café around the corner was fantastic for breakfast. Saucy Mama’s in The Village is also highly recommended—our pastrami pizza was unique and delicious. The lake is just down the street with a nice park, and we even spotted a few resident raccoons exploring the area in search of snacks.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at a very reasonable rate. We would definitely return.
It was better than expected, love the full kitchen, fully supplied. Easy to get in contact with staff even at odd hours of the night super friendly. Love, the peace and quiet.
This was such a cute spot to stay in ! I fell in love and will most likely book again for another stay 💕 I love the self check in and the communication they had !
Stayed in the king bed suit. The amenities and room were great! Had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay with the family. Will definitely come back here for our Bug Bear trips!
