Very kind and helpful staff, great amenities and services, gorgeous view of the lake and sunrise.
The staff was amazing and very accommodating and personable! The views were also beautiful as they are right on the lake. The only issues were the bed mattress and pillows not being very comfortable but overall, would go back. Enjoyed our stay there.

Great location close to The Village at Big Bear. Heater kept the room very warm but had a drip that persisted throughout the night. Facilities are decent and the staff was very helpful.
Staff is top notch. Rene and Terry helped me pull off a milestone birthday getaway. Cabin was simple and cozy. We enjoyed our time together celebrating. Will be back! Thank you!
Check in was so easy ! Front desk was so friendly & welcoming she answered all our questions no hesitation. Everything was clean. The location is amazing close to the village& the lake is right behind you with grills , tables ready to use . Will definitely be staying here again!
Such a great cozy little spot. I was only there for less that 24 hours but I was greeted by staff with so much kindness every time and felt very welcome. I loved how close I was to the village which made it super easy to take a nice walk to the shops. Everything was clean and maintained. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place to recharge.
The main heater is not working, so we are relying on a portable heater and the fireplace. Additionally, the bathroom door gets stuck and required someone to kick it open to get out. The staff is nice and I discussed the issue with them.
This is a cozy property right on the lake! They had a property-wide maintenance issue on our first night but the front desk employees were friendly and accommodating about it. The issue was resolved for the second night and we were compensated for our troubles.
Our little one liked the balconies overlooking the courtyard. This hotel was in a great location and within a short walk to Big Bear Village.
We'd recommend you stay at this hotel, especially for the price!

A bit secluded from the main drag of town, which made for a nice, quiet environment. Would have liked to see more seating options on the private beach, as well as more complimentary breakfast options
We were in BB for a family funeral. We enjoyed the view, the size of the room, and two queen beds. The staff was very attentive. Definitely would return. We also liked the small beach and pier where swallows nest.

The room was basic and dated, the fireplace offered no real heat to the room, there was an electric space heater that worked well. Breakfast was not really breakfast. I thought the room was very expensive for what was the reality. The counter person was friendly and helpful.

Great location
Location is great walking distance to village right on the lake it’s budget friendly but outlets were loose we could barely keep our phones charged and had to try one outlet after another that wasn’t about to fall out of the wall the deadbolt wasn’t working the coffee machine did not work. The fireplaces were broken But it’s rustic and quiet the staff is friendly and helpful
This trip was spontaneous and we decided to get a cheaper room. The room itself wasnt bad but the firplace didnt work and the outlets on an entire wall didnt work, which meant the tv didnt work and also the fridge, which was kind of annoying since we had food that belonged in the fridge. I was told i would get a partial refund, so im hoping that they follow through. Besides that the hotel was in a good location, the staff was kind and the room was decent.

The stairs were hard to navigate, but we are seniors. We were super disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work. The room was decorated nice and the kitchen was a plus. Terry the manager was extremely nice. Part of the disappointment was Expedias fault. They listed it as having breakfast, it was continental. All and all it is a good location and fairly priced.
I felt the room was a false advertisement from what I booked . The room needs a major upgrade. Wholes in the curtains … nasty floors that are not mopped. spider webs in the shower over all I wouldn’t stay there again. Staff great positives vibes , attitude over staff great
