Big Bear Frontier

We originally booked a cabin, but a couple of weeks before our trip, we received an Expedia message saying there were no cabins available for our dates, even though we had already paid the deposit. They did have a 2-queen motel room reserved for us instead, and honestly, it worked out for the better. The room had air conditioning, which was definitely needed during a hot July weekend in Big Bear! The room was clean, the Wi-Fi worked great, and I really liked that the TV allowed us to switch inputs. We were able to hook up our Fire Stick and use our streaming services, including watching WWE SummerSlam. Our room was right next to the lake, so we had amazing views and it was so relaxing with the BBQ and benches at the picnic area. The location was also close enough to the Village that we walked over a few times for food—Village Pizza, BBQ at The Cookshak, and of course morning coffee at Tea & Coffee Exchange. The only issue we had was with parking. It seemed like the parking and picnic area could be better monitored, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. There was a large gathering at the picnic area, and by the time we returned, there was only one parking spot left. I'm not sure if everyone there was staying at the property, but it would be nice if parking was better enforced to make sure registered guests have a place to park. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend, especially if you're visiting during the summer!

The internet does not show that the resort is under construction. We stayed in the hotel portion instead of an individual bungalow. However, we were not disturbed by any construction noise. The hotel section was very nice, clean and had great air conditioning. I would suggest putting a clock on the nightstand. Also, even though checkout is 11am, our key was disabled when we returned from breakfast at 10:45am. We had to drive to the office and get the key reactivated so we could get our belongings. But I would stay there again. It's in a very good location.

I'm a regular visitor st Scandia. I'm always treated very well by all who operate this Motel. It’s a perfect stay for me.

The bathtub was very clean and it works well.
