Top Big Bear Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Lagonita Lodge

8/10 Good

"Rooms are clean and very spacious. Staff is very nice. Family Friendly for sure. Internet is not good at all. We will definitely stay again next time."

Lakefront Escape

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay for a quick trip up to Big Bear!"

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience at the Estate house property was exceptional. Not only was the location perfect, but the customer service by Patrick was superb. Patrick was very prompt with his responses whenever I had any questions or concerns. He met with us when we arrived at the property on the first day to give us a brief tour of the house and was very cordial. I have stayed at other properties in Big Bear but nothing beats the experience I had on our stay at the Knickerbocker Mansion and Estate. Patrick definitely made the experience much more pleasant with his quintessential customer service he provides to his clients. He seems very genuine in wanting to help. I will definitely recommend it and I’ll definitely stay here again for our next visit at Big Bear."
