Had a late check-in and Hether was an absolute doll and got to the office super quick. The property itself is beautiful...but just wait until night hits. The soft glow of lights around the property sets an amazing mood. Our cabin (Rustic Romance) was so cozy and inviting. Kichen, utensils, fridge, soap and sponges for dishes...its all there. My one and only gripe is the shower tends to get the floor wet. Other than that, this place has become our escape from city life.

This property is perfect for a long weekend. Has a wood burning fireplace and BBQ. Check-in was super easy and the staff was super nice. Check-out was just as easy. The grounds were kept clean. There is a gas firepit and horseshoes to enjoy and walking distance to Boulder Bay. Definitely will be staying here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our cabin was absolutely filthy - dirty everything, caked in all corners and windows, mold in shower, spider webs, pee smell, mouse droppings in kitchen cabinets. We were the only people there, but were allowed could only have one bath towel (NO washcloths were provided)each at a time, including for use at the pool. Was told to text to exchange our bath towels after pool use. Grounds and facilities unkempt. Grey Squirrel was an extended family destination for reunions since the early 70's, and we last stayed in 2023. We then moved out of state and came back for nostalgia. What a disappointment. Do your loved ones a favor and don't subject them to this place.

We stayed in a sweetly rustic little cabin for two. It had everything we needed for a comfortable 2-night stay.

Cute and Quiet

The Grey Squirrel was the perfect place for us. Far enough from the village to be quiet and calm but close enough to grab any supplies we had forgotten. The property is big and the snow fall was beautiful.

Clean and love the style of the cottage, parking just outside your room.same price per day as the other hotel room but you can cook, you have your own dining and living space. You can just stay and relax there.

It's a decent place to stay if you are wanting a cozy cabin vibe. The property should stock more cooking implements though, and pots and pans and utensils. The kitchen is in need of a good deep cleaning. The beds are creaky. We like the layout for the 2 bedroom unit. If you have little kids that like to jump around inside the rooms and living areas, this is a good option. You don't have to worry about disturbing neighbors. Have not tried the pool. Overall, not fancy but great affordable option if you plan to be mostly out on the town or ski slopes, and not holed up inside a cabin for your Big Bear vacation.
