The management was really responsive and kind. Overall, this place is average. There is no A/C, so be prepared if you come during the summer. It’s about 10-12 minutes from the main area in Big Bear. The property was quiet.

Tao cabins was in a peaceful area and the rooms were nice and clean. I loved the fact that they had hardwood floors instead of carpet, the shower was awesome with nice tiles and the showerhead had good water pressure and was clean the fridge and microwave was such a lifesaver and was SO convenient, and the coffee maker and coffee that they offered was excellent! There was a couple things that could be improved. The all in one shampoo/ bodywash dispenser was completely empty, they could provide a bit more towels instead of just two body towels and two small square towels, there was also a can of raid under the sink which was akward and made it seem like it was there because they were sure that there were going to be roaches and/or that they already have a pest problem. Other than that, the whole experience was pretty awesome and the location was super convenient because you didn't have to drive to far to get to any of the markets, dining area, zoo and etc...

I arrived to the property around 11pm during a snow storm. In the morning, there was about 6" of snow. Getting into the unit was no problem. I booked the Romantic Studio, which is their biggest unit. It is big and spacious. Unfortunately, during my stay, the heater was broken on the coldest night. It was very very cold. I told management and they said they left a space heater and extra blankets. The blankets and heater were not enough and the heat wouldn't be fixed during our stay, so i ended up leaving 1 night early and booking another hotel with heat.

Big Bear City out of power
By the time I arrived to Big Bear I find out the city had a power outreach. Trying to go places like Discovery Center was close, stores were close or open but using my cell phone light to check prices …..Didn't know wat time the power will come back Then I desired to head back home.
I had to use my cell phone to check prices and paying cash because no power.

Stay far away from this rental property. I booked and there were city closures due to snow so they contacted me about not showing up , then proceeded to charge full amount , claim I stayed , and refuse to reimburse me .Theyre terrible at communicating, always saying the owner/manager is on vacation saying they’ll let me know and never do. It’s theft/they’re complete scammers you’re better off staying elsewhere

Comfort in the mountains
The studio was comfortable and equipped with basic kitchen appliances and utensils. It's about 12 minutes away from the village and only a couple minutes from the local markets/ liquor stores. The reason I gave 4 stars is because the fireplace does not function, and I booked the room with the intention of using the fireplace. A note should be added on hotels.com that the fireplace is not functional or only just for display. The main window is directly in front of the main door so we were not able to leave the curtains open. Other than that, Amanda was quick in answering my questions and provided extra towels upon request. Also, The bed was really comfy.

It’s everything you want in a place that’s affordable and close to nearly everything you’d want. If you’re looking for a cheap clean spot to stay at while looking to snowboard and ski this is your spot!
