Top Big Bear Central Hotel Reviews

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we would definitely come back here again. First impressions were really good get your own lodge. He had great fireplaces throughout the property and you didn’t have to light them yourselves because this staff would light them up for you really really nice one thing though that I did have to mention was when we went to use a cup in the kitchen, there was a fingerprint on the cup that I went to reach for so that kind of threw me off a little bit but other than that, we would definitely come back here"

Big Bear Frontier

8/10 Good

"Loved our room but it was misrepresented on Hotels.com and it was not clear that we would be staying in an apartment style room rather than one of small cabins. However, the room was nice and clean. The fireplace was my favorite part of the room. Our only two complaints are that 1.) it was a conjoined room but the doors between the rooms did not lock (Room 203) and 2.) the walls are paper thin so we can hear the neighbors talking very clearly and the neighbors upstairs Friday night had children running around until late into the night and the noise was very loud. Other than those two things we enjoyed our stay and would consider going back to stay in a single standalone cabin as pictured on Hotels.com for this listing."

Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I loved and enjoyed our stay.. It was very clean, staff was family friendly, quiet, fresh air, friendly ducks come up to you, so make sure you buy duck food before you arrive.. Great location.. Room was awesome with a fire place.. Nights were cold and the fireplace was perfect during our stay.. Thank you to the entire friendly staff and squirrel named Charlie.. Next time, I'll be prepared for you with peanuts.."
