Bear Creek Resort

8/10 Good

"My husband and I are in the wedding industry, and needed a place to stay after a wedding in Fawnskin (4 hours away from home). Mostly we just need a place to sleep and nothing else. For that purpose, this was a wonderful place to stay! I did notice the walls needed a little TLC and looked more like we booked a small bedroom rather than a "resort" room as the name suggests. We needed to check in late (again, we work in weddings) and because we had no reception in the mountains, we had no way to communicate with the hotel that we were indeed still going to check in. I was so grateful for the gentleman who helped via call and text to get us checked in and into our room. I was however a little confused when the office was closed the next morning (around 10 am). The bed was a little uncomfortable, and we wished for a better night's rest after spending 8+ hours on our feet. Overall, it was a nice place in a nice area and we would definitely consider staying here again - preferably as a casual getaway vs a necessary stay."

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."

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place. Convenient, Quiet, Safe and a great Value."

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This place is awesome! I been there several times. Plenty of parking, specially if your towing a boat to trailer."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Noon Lodge. The property is beautiful and has such a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. The rooms and grounds were immaculate, and you can tell how much care goes into maintaining everything. The property manager was amazing, so friendly, helpful, and genuinely made the experience even better. We also loved the little touches throughout the property, from the music playing around the grounds to the fire pits that created the perfect ambiance in the evening. Having a canoe available on site was such a fun bonus and made the stay feel even more special. Noon Lodge has a great mix of comfort, charm, and outdoor atmosphere. You won’t find a better bang for your buck in Big Bear Lake. We would absolutely stay here again!"

Sessions Retreat & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing! The staff was extremely helpful even during some internet issues, they found a way around and assured I was attended to in terms of my questions and needs. The only thing I suggest is to ask ahead of time for the amenities schedule, they have a sauna and even barrels for ice baths but their website page was not clear if there were scheduled times for using them. Other than that everything was amazing! I plan on staying again."

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Es el mejor lugar para quedarte en familia está todo cerca y tienen todo lo que necesitas para unas hermosas vacaciones"

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 4th stay here at the Burgundy. My husband and I love this place everytime we stay here. The pool and the tub were remodeled and lookin’ really really nice! The most important thing for us was the EXCELLENT customer service. When we booked the room and checked in, once again our favorite front desk person JORDAN met our needs. He made sure the fireplace was ready to be used and anything that we need he made sure we were happy! We can’t wait to go back the Big Bear again and stay at this hotel! Thank you Jordan for the amazing hospitality!"

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying here with my partner and it was so beautiful. I was not expecting the hotel being right next to the water, such a fantastic view with a fire pit! Definitely will be coming back here again."
