Our stay at the cabin was amazing. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to unwind, and the host was professional and responsive throughout our stay. Overall, one of the best stays we’ve had—highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Management was amazing. Accommodations were good. I had an awesome stay. The only thing there were no trays for baking in the stove. Everything else was amazing and a set of tongs would be nice too lol I’m a chef so go figure.

We enjoyed our stay!

A little confusing when we arrived, as to which was our room. However, we figured it out. Room was cute and gave us what we needed, including coffee set up, a refrigerator and microwave oven. I appreciated the messages, that the staff checked with me if all was fine. I would come back to this place if in the area

4/10 Fair

Room in general was clean and looked presentable but the bed was really uncomfortable as well as the pillows. We also had an issue with the automatic bathroom light as it kept turning on by itself all night long. There was also a visible patching in the bathroom door from a hole in it but it wasn’t done very good. The heater also didn’t keep the room warm so it was very cold.

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.

8/10 Very good

Room was large. Decor is odd colors, purple couch, red curtains, blue and grey panel floor…having kitchen amenities is nice, bathroom is small, not well lit, but tub/shower is very adequate. We enjoyed our stay even without electricity our first 12 hours (not really an issue except lack of hot water) due to local electric public safety shut off. Upstairs guests were a bit noisy, as well as people using the stairs. The bed appears to be a firm memory foam, and was fine. The off site personnel were very nice and answered texting promptly. The ONLY real detractor was the very gritty floor which probably needed a good dust mopping. There’s a pretty significant water hammer noise at the kitchen sink. Nothing fancy but pretty adequate.

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.

5 days 4 nights

1 sink is clogged, luckily there are 2 sinks in the room. Room has been cleaned by around 3:30pm, and I didn't receive the door code until 4:30pm. I was being told it needs an inspection; I was waiting in front of the cabin and there were no one entering the building for inspection. Microwave is wornt; it takes forever to heat up food. The rod is also broken, and it fell. no place to hang clothes, jackets etc. lack of towels for 4 nights stay. mattress is extremely soft; you won't be able to get a good sleep out of it. the heater was great, it warms up the room nicely.

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.

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...
