SoCal Vacations - Village Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything we needed was there. We also like the location because it’s near everything. We like that it’s pet-friendly, and most of all it was quiet."

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"It was a last minute trip and I came across this place, and I am glad I did. The room was very clean. They had outdoor furniture, grills, and fire pit. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to go in the hot tub because it was out of service but other than it’s a great place! It’s a 8-10 min walk to the village. So very convenient."

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed Aug 23 and 24th, Was a last minute little spontraneous get away. Called ahead with a few questions. Spoke to B. He was very nice and very helpful. I arrived on Sunday afternoon, he was very receptive, easy to communicate with and get me all checked in to the property. Little cottage was super nice. Clean, smelled good, Has a nice AC. and also a stand up big fan in the cottage if your one that needs a fan. Kichen was furnished and clean, Bathroom was furnished and clean. Wish the shower was a little bigger but it was just fine for what i needed. Easy to access property with plenty off parking close to the cottage. Very quiet area, a lil on the private sid, relaxing and peaceful. A 5 min drive to The village and so many places to eat very close. Also a nice little convienient store next to property that has about anythhing you might need from food, snacks, alcohol, etc. Will definitely plan on staying here again. I brought my dog and she loved it, plenty of places for her to walk around and stretch out if your a travelling pet owner this was PERFECT for a dog. Was 1st time in Big Bear and for the price over some of the higher rated places or places closer to down town, this was well worth it. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks again to B for being such a gracious and helpful host."
