Top Big Bear Central Hotel Reviews

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property!! The staff was amazing at introducing the property along with helping us get into our room. Everything was clean and looked stunning at night. There were plenty of shops nearby and are walking distance too! This was our first visit to Big Bear and would book another stay here again and with friends!!"

Arkouda Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for a cabin getaway in Big Bear Lake, Arkouda Cabins is a must! As soon as we walked in we noticed that they consider traveler reviews - from curtains being placed to extra AC units being found around our cabin. Jenica is amazingly attentive & we were surprised how welcoming and easy going our check-in process was! As for our cabin, we loved the grill and hot tub and although not a deal breaker, an outside table would have been an amazing addition to enjoy our grill nights or simply to have breakfast outside. Definitely looking forward to returning with family in the future!"

Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room at the Lodge would be perfect for summer or winter as there is a nice fireplace. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. The balcony had a nice view of the lake. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There is a play place for kids and friendly ducks to feed. It is close to everything you could need but is isolated enough to be quiet. I would highly recommend it!"

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near downtown. Our room has a second floor with an open view, which made it feel bright and relaxing. My kids especially enjoyed the bunk beds—they were so excited to sleep in them! Checking in on the phone was quick and easy, which made our arrival hassle-free. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. We also appreciated the convenient parking and the nearby restaurants and attractions. We would definitely stay here again"

Hotel Marina Riviera

8/10 Good

"Everything was great! Friendly staff, Beautiful location. Great view. The restaurant was great. Walking distance to the Village. Short drive to everything else. Only problem was our AC unit started leaking onto the floor. They were very apologetic and tried to fix it right away but the problem did continue until we left. They did give us a discount for the inconvenience. Besides that I highly recommend this hotel! We will return!"

Fireside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great in accommodating my request to stay an extra night. AC was great, heat was great, fridge and TV also great. I did not use internet, (I did not intend to) was a nice pleasant escape. Most things I was interested in were within walking distance. Pool was clean and deep, most places don't have deep pools anymore. SPECIAL call out to the guy who checked me in, I did not get his name. The property does need some TLC, and cleanup, but nothing which would prevent me from visiting again, probably soon."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall the property was nice. I do believe it could have been cleaner in some areas in the cabin and I highly suspect that the bedding in our room had not been changed. The rooms were very spacious and there was plenty of room for spreading out, as well as closet space. The lodge was in a great location and was also pet friendly. The sink in one our bathrooms didn't have running water, but it wasn't a deal breaker. It was hot before sundown, but cool at night. I would recommend the lodge."
