<p>From Emerald63, who found this gem:</p>
<blockquote><p>This fantasy B&#038;B is about more than decor &#8211; look at all the built-in details. There are castle, pirate ship, even prehistoric cave dwelling suites&#8230; and more! Great price in a nice resort area. Not high-end, but loads of middle-class fun.</p></blockquote>

<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure this is the first listing we&#8217;ve featured here that has its own profile on both <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g32074-d254400-Reviews-Castle_Wood_Theme_Cottages-Big_Bear_Region_California.html" title="TripAdvisor: Castle Wood Theme Cottages">TripAdvisor</a> and <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/castlewood-cottages-big-bear-lake" title="Yelp: Castlewood Cottages">Yelp</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_03.jpg" rel="lightbox[3292]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_03.jpg" alt="547 Main St., Big Bear, CA 92315" width="631" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3296" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_03.jpg 631w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_03-415x315.jpg 415w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_03-300x228.jpg 300w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_03-100x76.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></p>
<p>Not sure why the photos are such low quality, but if I had to guess I&#8217;d say maybe it is because better-quality photos might reveal the unfortunate state of disrepair these &#8220;cottages&#8221; have fallen into.</p>
<p>The Yelp page has <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/castlewood-cottages-big-bear-lake?hrid=tpjwzI_vMms30GQxV6Dt7g">a painfully detailed review from about a year ago</a> along with <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/castlewood-cottages-big-bear-lake?filter_by_userid=True&#038;select=qVQhH0IhlyiaTMIfUxIpsQ&#038;userid=BTtNVMwaXUHXeHuibxI7WA#qVQhH0IhlyiaTMIfUxIpsQ">37 photos of the sad state of affairs</a> that were uploaded by the reviewer.</p>

<p>The lack of maintenance seems to extend to their online presence, too. <a href="http://www.castlewoodcottages.com/">Their official website</a> looks like it hasn&#8217;t been updated since the &#8217;90s.</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_05.jpg" rel="lightbox[3292]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_05.jpg" alt="547 Main St., Big Bear, CA 92315" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3298" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_05.jpg 640w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_05-415x311.jpg 415w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/547-Main-St-92315_05-100x75.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>At 469 days on market, I question the listing&#8217;s claim that &#8220;the owner needs to relocate.&#8221; Seems like if the need was all that pressing they might have bothered taking a few nicer photos or at least dropping the price once or twice.</p>
