Top North Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

8/10 Good

"The facility is beautiful. The condo had everything for a comfortable stay. Negatives were there was no extra toilet paper & Kleenex. No safety bars in the shower. The locks on the doors accidentally lock which could be a problem. The garage was a disaster. We had to go down to the office or call the office because the garage codes and clickers didn’t work. The light in the master BR stopped working so we had a light on all night. They did repair it the next day. I felt we should have a reduction in our payment for all the time we had to spend with the issues. All in all we loved the facility. So convenient to the Village. ."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly, cute outside areas, wonderful!"

Bear Creek Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was just fine."

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a new renovation which is still in progress; it will only get better! The owner was on site during our stay and could not have been more accommodating. You can tell that "pet friendly" was part of the thinking during the renovation. In fact, there was no charge to bring our golden retriever. The room is laid out very simply with a minimal amount of fabric in the furnishings. When you walked into the room it smelled like red cedar. Location is excellent with only a very short walk to town. All systems are modern and worked very efficiently."

Sessions Retreat & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute place! Staff was great….. lots of charm….. price was great and location was great too. Only thing this place doesn’t have AC but they do give a fan to plug in as well as a heater when it’s cold but other than that it was fine. We look forward to coming back."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"The cabin is perfectly set off from the lake and in good walking distance to the Village and boat rentals. Kitchen is fulling stocked with dishes, pots, pans and coffee pot etc... Little table for two set cutely up.... Beds were nice with gel mattress, and bedding with pillows new and clean.. Bathroom clean... Shower/Tub looked like maybe someone replaced the shower head and did clean up after replacement... could have been rinsed down.... We will defiantly be staying again :-) possibly renting more than one cabin for a family trip."
