We went to Big Bear for a family weekend getaway. Was looking to stay near the village. We booked the cabin and were very pleased with the space. Nice and cozy! Staff also very friendly and polite.

Place is very nice, location too: on the shore of the lake.
Building is old, and some noise passes through the wall: nothing that is really a problem.
There are tables and couple of grills available too (maybe the grills need a little maintenance).

Staff were very friendly. My car broke down and they were very empathetic. Rooms were clean. Had a broken glass but that was pretty much the only issue. Nice to have a kitchen and fireplace in the room.

What a nice little gem I found. Quaint little cabins right on the lake. Most have a kitchenette of some type, a couple have full kitchens, they all have fireplaces. I know a couple of them have full Jacuzzi tubs as well. Mark, who is working, gave me an upgrade to a Lakeview. Very nice people, perfect location, I highly recommend!! And I got a great price on Hotels.com 👍👍 I’ll definitely come back!

I enjoyed my stay here at the lakefront lodge. Many close activities and dining options all walkable distance. The room was exactly what we expected from the ads and very spacious. There were a couple of things I didn’t like. There were ants crawling around the room and bed, and the shower took over 20 minutes to heat up. Other than that it was a really great stay and I would definitely recommend.

Very substandard room with poor housekeeping, roll away bed was not usable, front office closes at 11:30 pm and one poor guy arrived at midnight and he was not able to check in, he had to go find a room somewhere else

No Continental breakfast as of 8:20am The room only had an electric looking heater that put out very minimal heat. The room was cold, they brought a small space heater, that took hours to warm the room. I don’t recommend

When we arrived into our room, we were welcomed by a foul septic smell so strong we wondered where it was coming from. When my husband went into the bedrooms then into the bathroom, it got stronger. The shower tub was full of brownish black water. While waiting for the hotel clerk, I started looking around the room. There were stains, hair in corners of room, wall paint chipping, fireplace not working. The clerk tried to plunge the tub and toilet with no success. He then gave us a new room. This room had a gorgeous view of the lake, was very dilapidated. Hair in our sheets, cracks in wall and flooring, wallpaper peeling in some areas and hair toilet leaking after each flush. After dinner, we got back to the room and was welcomed by a strong marijuana smell in the room. We were unsure of where it was coming from but our kids were joking about it then they decided to stay outside on deck for a bit so the smell could dissipate. None of us slept well on the old dilapidated mattresses. Got about 3 hours max of sleep. This a $327.00 room/night. That’s a rip off and they know it! Don’t stay here!!

We arrived at 3:30pm when our check in time was and the room was not ready. They switched us to a different room that was almost done being cleaned and would only take 10 mins to be finished. It wasn’t until around 4:30 that our room was available. I also paid for the balcony room and didn’t even end up getting a balcony due to the switch. Not a terrible room, just upset that there was no balcony and had to wait so long for the room.

The property was quiet, however, the unit I stayed in didn’t make me want to come back. The room was half clean, the kitchen had an old sponge, no dish soap, and dirty dishes in the cabinet. The bathroom only had one wash cloth which was stained and I wasn’t sure if it was safe to use or not. I asked for more towels and was informed that they were washing towels now and would bring us some when they were done. Finally when they did bring the towels, there still were no wash cloths. I called to let them know there were none in the towels they brought up and was told that they didn’t have any wash cloths. What was even worse were the beds. Absolutely uncomfortable, it felt like we were sleeping on a hard box. We booked two nights, I was ready to go home after the first night. I did like the fire place and the balcony and the convenience of being able to cook and not have to go out for every meal and it was a little spacious. The WiFi didn’t work and I called a few times trying to get help, the guy at the front wasn’t very helpful. I give this lodge a 3/10 or 2/5…however you prefer to look at it.

Staff at check in was rude. Room was dirty and light did not work as soon as you open door. Also fab switch does not work.

Hello! Our experience at this hotel was very nice. I loved being near the Lake. It is so wonderful to wake up and be surrounded by snow and the stunning view that the Hotel has. I loved it.

Check- in was quick and easy. The room was spacious and clean. With the amount of snow that fell a few days ago, it was a bit slippery carrying the suitcase up the stairs and the walkway to our room on the second floor. Overall, we would choose this property again.

We arrived to check in and met with a note taped to the door, “be back in 15 minutes” so we stayed around for 15 minutes with no return, and decided to leave to get an early dinner only to arrive back an hour later to the same note still there, once we were allowed into our room we were met with a bathroom floor covered in water popcorn kernels on the ground and rat droppings on the counter and inside of the microwave, we were awoken through the night because of the plumbing that runs through the paper thin walls, everytime anyone does as much as turn on a sink or flush the toilet the ceiling and walls shake and scream. A cherry on top is when I was in the shower the front desk decided to give another guest the keys to our room so we had unwelcome strangers come into our room while I was naked. If there hadn’t been a terrible storm I would have left that night, however we stayed and left the next morning and canceled our small get away early. We booked for two days and had to leave early because of how disgusting this property is. All of these issues were brought to the attention of the staff, and a very nice man tried to remedy the solution and called his manager, I asked for a refund and the manager offered a voucher for a different stay there instead. Obviously I will never return to this property. So I paid for 2 nights and got none of my money back. DO NOT STAY HERE AND AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Arrived late but let them know we were. Had a paper for us to sign but didn’t leave a pen. Had no TP. When my wife called to complain they reparative that picked up her call asked here how she or we would like to be compensated.

The property has potential. The location is convenient. I love that there isn’t a min. stay requirement. I stayed here to see family visiting Big Bear from another state. I only needed 1 night & this property was able to accommodate that. Check in was not until 3pm. When I arrived at 3:45, I was told my room was being cleaned & to come back in an hour. Rough with 2 babies, but ok. The front desk was apologetic & offered a later checkout than the standard 11am. Once I finally checked into my room, the first thing I noticed was that the lock on the door was not very secure & the door had obviously been kicked in at one point. The inside frame was visibly broken & being held together with a few random nails. I also noticed that there was moldy coffee in the coffee pot, a used sponge on the kitchen sink, old food in the fridge & the counter tops/sink were full of old food crumbs. Clearly, the extra hour after my check in time was not used for cleaning. I thought about trying to find another room, but my kids were ready for bed & the room was really just a place to sleep, so I let it go. A few minutes after settling, I went to turn on the shower to bathe my kids & found hair surrounding the shower drain, then noticed the room we booked for 4 people only had 1 bath towel & 1 hand towel. My husband went to the front desk to request another towel & was told “the dryer is broken this is all we have”. The employee gave him a pile of bath floor mats. Parking is also very limited.

Beautiful location. Seems a bit old and in disrepair. The balcony on our unit was falling apart we saw pieces hanging into the below porch and decided not to walk out there. They have someone with dementia running the front desk and it took her 30 min plus to check us into our room.

First of all, I arrived at 2 pm, check in was 3. I have a disability couldn’t hold my urination, I had to use the restroom otherwise something bad was happening. I begged the clerk to please let me use the restroom of the room while she said it was empty and the cleaning persons are there to clean the room. I begged her I have disability and I must use the restroom, while they’re cleaning I go quickly use the restroom and come back. She said if I let you go, I’ll be fired! Ridiculous!!! I couldn’t believe that some one with a disability would be treated like that! Horrible ever.
The breakfast, we asked about timing of it the night before, the clerk said 8 am to 10 am is the breakfast time. So we went at 9 am, everything was gone , except 2 apples, and coffee.. and she kept saying sorry sorry we don’t have anything. This is not right! I paid extra money for breakfast, this is ridiculous we only grabbed one candy cause my mom blood sugar was low, she was almost faint. If I knew there was nothing to eat, I wouldn’t pay extra for breakfast.
Also I paid extra for lake view room, but you even could see the lake. I’m posting everything with pictures that way no one feels I’m lying! This is not acceptable and I will ask to return my money!
