CastleWood Cottages: Incredibly detailed Fantasy themed cabins in a variety of sizes, many that include tubs, fireplaces, and costumes.

Location: 547 Main St, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

Cost: ~$100-$250 depending on time of year and cabin size.

Our Overall Rating: 5/5

This place really takes Fantasy seriously and it SHOWS. Decide just how seriously you want to dive in by choosing a cabin at your preferred level. The Castle Garden and the Haunted Manor might be more pricey but they are so worth it in our opinion. So. Many. DETAILS! We had a blast. Even the small cabins are a great entry level to a theme experience. Most of them (if not all of them?) have costumes included in the cabin. Highly recommend taking a weekend away to this fantastical land. The owner was really friendly and seemed ready to answer and questions we had before/during/and after. They also have a gift shop full of treasures that may enhance your stay.

Cleanliness Rating: 4/5

I didn’t have cleanliness issues staying here. With any themed experience, you have fake foliage and decor that might get some wear and get a little dusty, but nothing that felt like it wasn’t being cleaned. 

Favorite Room: The Castle Garden, The Haunted Manor, The Tree House, Enchanted Forest….just so many good options!!
