Across the reviews, Tao Cabins is often described as clean, quiet, and good value, with responsive communication and practical in room kitchens, though some guests encountered maintenance or odor issues and several emphasized the lack of air conditioning.
Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, but decor can be quirky and noise from other guests occurs at times. Location is handy for Big Bear activities, with a short drive to the Village, markets, and the lake. Expect a simple, functional stay suited to travelers who prioritize value and self-sufficiency.

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...

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.

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.

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

Overall my experience was great. I liked the kitchen area but it was missing a blender and a broom. And I wished they just mention that parking is assigned according to RM number. Area was quiet and clean. A really big plus was that there was a place to take the trash in same property. And that the place had lots of lighting!!! I would definitely stay again.

As much as we enjoyed the room we absolutely can not recommend this cabin due to the unclean bedding. You know that saying, a picture is worth a thousand words? So I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

My girlfriend and I were quite disappointed with the place. The front was dirty, once inside-the hallway really smelled bad, No air conditioning at all ( one floor fan), not enough towels provided, extremely small refrigerator that couldn't accommodate 2- liter bottles, the auto turn -on light when you walk into the bathroom was very annoying and would wake up the other person sleeping

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.

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.

Clean sheets, fluffy towels, and the instructions for check- in were well communicated by Cathy. The bed is memory foam, which I am not a fan of, but was rather comfortable. The best part was the rain shower room. Amazing! Felt like I was under a waterfall at a hot spring. The only issues was that they only left us a half roll of toilet paper but housekeeping did bring extra rolls when asked. And although it's in a quiet neighborhood, some people were banging on the main entrance door trying to get in the building at 3:30am. Not sure if they were supposed to be there but they eventually left and it disrupted a good nights' sleep.

Stay was ok, missed having AC available, a portable fan was helpful but room felt warm throughout our stay during the hot summer weekend. The bed was comfortable although the memory foam made body feel hot again with no AC in room. Place was decent, clean, and easy to get in room, close enough to drive down to restaurants and to the lake.

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.

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

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...

1 block off main road to/from Big Bear Lake area. Easy to get back and forth pretty much to wherever you like.

Stay was ok, missed having AC available, a portable fan was helpful but room felt warm throughout our stay during the hot summer weekend. The bed was comfortable although the memory foam made body feel hot again with no AC in room. Place was decent, clean, and easy to get in room, close enough to drive down to restaurants and to the lake.

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.

Overall my experience was great. I liked the kitchen area but it was missing a blender and a broom. And I wished they just mention that parking is assigned according to RM number. Area was quiet and clean. A really big plus was that there was a place to take the trash in same property. And that the place had lots of lighting!!! I would definitely stay again.

Unfortunately, our stay was frustrating from the start. The registration process was excessive and much more complicated than necessary. The Wi-Fi instructions provided were incorrect, and when I contacted staff for assistance, I was told no rather than being offered a solution. The room only had decaf coffee available, and the fan barely kept the room cool. While the room was clean, the lack of attention to guest comfort and service made this a disappointing experience overall.

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!
