Fox Bear Cottages Big Bear

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay"

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in the Carriage Suite at the Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates. The suite was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, with the perfect mix of historic charm and modern comforts. The property itself is peaceful, quiet, and a great place to unwind after a day of exploring Big Bear. A special thank you to Patrick, who was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. His hospitality made us feel right at home and really added to the overall experience. The location is excellent—close to the Village and Snow Summit, yet secluded enough to feel like a relaxing retreat. We truly enjoyed every part of our stay and would highly recommend the Knickerbocker Mansion to anyone visiting Big Bear. We look forward to coming back!"

Robinhood Resort

8/10 Good

"Renovation was on progress during our visit and were assigned on the next building across the street. We booked a standard room without A/C not recommended during summer, winter would be suffice. But the location of this establishment, you don’t need to drive around to visit shop while you can just walk down the street and your there. Veterans park across the street and you can rent kayak/paddle boards and other water activities. As NorCal resident and 45 mins away from Lake Tahoe, we find Big Bear a wonderful peaceful place to visit. Without Jackie and Shadow, we wouldn’t know about Big Bear Lake. There 2 ways to get Big Bear but in prefer the Barstow way east Big Bear and less switchbacks/zigzag the other way is the LA side. For NorCal travelers I would suggest Barstow way to Big Bear."

Fireside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This lodge is very charming and especially pet-friendly. The staff and visitors are friendly and lively. Families enjoyed swimming, and the office sold many affordable drinks and snacks, eliminating the need to visit a liquor store. The room was clean, with no carpet, and the blankets had been washed. It featured a kitchen, fridge, microwave, and dishes. It was simple but complete for our needs. My dogs loved their walks, and Big Bear is beautiful any time of year. There is an EV charger available for a fee. Breakfast options are basic coffee, fruit, and pastries. The price was reasonable, and I appreciated the convenient location close to Big Bear Village, where many activities take place. I will definitely return."

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"comfortable beds, beautiful inside, upscaled. plug in tub would not stay closed, due to its position, you can't help but bump it, and late night bath becomes noisy (loud draining sound as water sucks out) I couldn't get the plug to close again. It is very close to restaurants and shopping. it is gated and you need a code to enter, which is great. Parking inside the garage, and having an inside entrance to the hotel was nice. Hot tub wasn't working while we were there. Upstairs neighbors could be heard over the t.v. and seemed as if they were rearranging the furniture, and running above us. Get the top floor if possible. Overall we enjoyed the hotel and felt we would return."
