We were really excited for this stay, but a few things made the experience disappointing. The cabin wasn’t properly cleaned — there was animal hair throughout, and we dealt with allergies the entire trip. The hot tub was also left at 20 degrees, so it couldn’t be used the whole first night, which was one of the main reasons we booked this place. On top of that, the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Overall, the location was nice, but the basics definitely fell short.

Hi Brooke!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay, that’s not the standard we aim to provide. The cleanliness concerns and the hot tub not being heated upon arrival are unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, especially since the hot tub was one of the main reasons you chose this cabin. We will also address the bedding comfort with the owner to ensure future guests have a better experience.
We truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention so we can follow up with our team and prevent this from happening again. If you decide to stay with us in the future, we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience.
Our rental was clean and very organized. I had a few questions, they were answered in a fast manner. The place was cozy!

We called it Moose Lodge with Moose pictures everywhere!
The Cabin was clean, neat and everything worked.
Easy access to all items in the cabin. Written rules
were easy to follow. The Cool Cabin people were
very helpful and kind! It would of been nice to have cable TV for the World Series!

Robinson's Roost cabin is a relaxing getaway
Robinson's Roost cabin was a cozy, thoughtfully well-appointed home base for a lovely fall foliage week in Big Bear.
We especially appreciated the quiet, neighborhood, early and late sunlight drenching the living and dining areas, wi-fi and smart TV and an easy-to-navigate, functional kitchen, which allowed us to stay in...and relax!

Hi Ellen!
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Robinson’s Roost and got to experience the peaceful neighborhood and beautiful fall atmosphere. It’s wonderful to hear the cabin’s amenities made your stay relaxing and comfortable. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
I love this cabin because of the warm welcome it provided! Our family remained connected throughout the stay and that is my goal for this weekend getaway! It gets really cold at night (at this time of stay) so do not forget to get the portable heaters available in the Master's closet (because we did, lol). We will definitely come back. The pictures does not do justice in Expedia or Booking.com, I love this cabin!

Big Bear Cool Cabins is the Best!
Big Bear Cool Cabins has been such a pleasure to arrange our vacation rentals through for the past 6 years. There are never any hidden surprises. Most importantly, the communication is simple and consistent. Couldn't recommend this company more.

Beware of the king bed
The "place" was cool -- pretty much as expected. However, the king bed mattress is HORRIBLE. My wife had to hold on from falling all night because her side of the bed was so lopsided. They need to replace that mattress pronto.
The only other thing was that the ice maker didn't work in the fridge.

I loved our experience! I do want to mention that we specifically chose this place because of the hot tub and we weren’t able to use it. We waited about 2 hours for it to heat up and I wouldn’t. We found out too late that it takes a long time to heat up.

This was a house to stay at for the weekend. There was nothing "cool" or "cabin" about it. Parking is for 2 small cars maybe, our one truck barely fit in the driveway. The house has a huge yard with a long fence in front along the street that we could have parked along except all of the space was taken by other neighbor's cars the whole weekend (4 cars worth in front of this house!). The fence had a broken area that my dog climbed right through so beware. The house was very spacious inside with 3 nice bedrooms. The bedrooms and beds were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were not completely clean (countertops, towels, showers- yes. Floors and walls-no). Shower head coming loose from the wall. Large kitchen with appliances and all you need, but floors were sticky when we walked on it. Living room carpet was filthy with dark stains. There were 6 remotes for the living room TV, with no instructions. Lots of places to sit and sofa was a comfortable recliner style. Leftover beer cans in backyard. Spa latches were broken. Spa did work as far as water was hot, but lights and jets did not work. This was the worst property I have stayed at through CoolCabins and would not recommend unless you just need a house to stay at for the weekend.
