“Grey Squirrel Resort presents a rustic, outdoorsy vibe that might appeal to budget-conscious travelers exploring Big Bear Lake. From what I gather, cabins offer basic amenities, but be prepared for a no-frills experience, especially regarding cleanliness and kitchen facilities. If you're prioritizing location and affordability over immaculate conditions, this could be an option, but manage your expectations accordingly.”
