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!

A very clean, cute room with all of the necessities for a quiet and relaxing weekend. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be back. My husband and I had a wonderful time. The reservation manager, Tanya, was very nice and helpful.

nice place for a quick visit, very cozy, a little confusing for check in as i didn’t receive unit number or instructions on which entrance to use but after calling i was able to try my code on a couple doors until one worked!

Great place to have all in one studio

Owners very friendly and helpful via text and phone. Quick to respond. Only suggestion would be is to have a roll of paper towels available to guest. Comfy bed and room layout.

A Great Place to Stay in Big Bear

I had a really good stay at Tao Cabins. Unit 4 was clean with plenty of room to move around and good ventilation. The bed was comfortable and everything else was sized just right for 1 or 2 guests. The internet was fast and the TV had all the necessary channels. The bathroom area was spacious and the shower was huge with plenty of hot water and strong water pressure. The surrounding area was quiet and there's a hiking trail system not known to many visitors right across the street. Overall I highly recommend Tao Cabins and will stay here again. Cheers.

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.

This was an amazing find! The host was amazing to communicate with, even sent us a message that the room was ready before the listed check in time. It was hard to find a place to stay on short notice and I couldn't believe such an amazing place was still available. The room is on the ground floor and there are tall trees all around so the room stayed a comfortable temperature without a/c. We brought our own little fan because my boyfriend is a hot sleeper, and he had no problem at all staying cool without A/C. Note for the next guest: The shower handle was a little tricky to figure out, It's a single knob that is off at the 12:00 position, but can turn both ways. It took a little experimenting, but we found that the adjustable temps for showering are between 3:00(hottest)-6:00(coldest). This was a great stay. Can't wait to go back.

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...

Best in Big Bear

Stayed here a few times now, and always will when they have availability. Stayed in both styles of upstairs units - these were certainly 2 separate apartments at one point, but have been very recently and very nicely remodeled into 4 units. The larger front rooms have a cool glassed in shower, living area and patio. Very spacious. The back rooms are much smaller with a standard bathroom, but have similar appointments and furnishings to the big rooms. EXTREMELY clean - have never stayed anywhere in Big Bear this clean and new. Bed is pretty comfy, fridge is nice, new and cold. Bathroom is very clean, new and has good water pressure. Parking can be a little tricky, always back in for best results. Location is outside of town a ways, but easy to find and reasonably quiet. There's a big googly Great Dane next door that can bark in the morning, but no issues aside from that. Definitely the best in town in my 5 years of weekend stays during bike season. You won't be disappointed!

Property had no air conditioning. Property was not maintained. Shower rod kept falling, there were holes in the walls. Bedding had not been cleaned from previous renter. Said non smoking but reaked of cigarettes. Whoever is maintaining the property may want to do some upkeep on the unit as well as the weeds that were growing in the front. Pictures were not current. This was like staying at the bates motel.
