Top Cougar Crest Trailhead Hotel Reviews

N+P Boutique Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The place was incredibly clean and elegant. Staff was friendly and accommodating.. It was a very special bday weekend because of the place.!"

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"excellent place to stay, close to the village, lake, and Bear Mountain. Room was very clean with nice toiletries, coffee, tea, fridge, and cubbies for storage. The bed was SO comfy! Only complaint would be the wifi and Netflix reception weren't good... kept buffering throughout the whole movie, so finally gave up watching."

Big Bear Lakefront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy place. Near all of the best spots to in Big Bear. Did some solid fishing off the dock. Great spot"

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"By the lake and within walking distance to the village"

Holiday Inn Resort The Lodge At Big Bear Lake by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it!!!"

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."

BREATHTAKING LAKE VIEWS - HUGE GREAT ROOM & GAME ROOM, DUAL FIREPLACES, PACMAN!

8/10 Good

"Communication prior to arrival was excellent; there was no need to contact the host during our four day stay. The house is very spacious and the view of the lake from the balcony is picturesque. I especially appreciated the fully enclosed yard for my dog. The furniture is in good shape and the room air conditioner a huge plus. There were plenty of towels. We were not keen on the bunk room due to the low ceiling, would have preferred side by side twin/full beds. The kitchen had just about every appliance you can image. I was happy there is a rice cooker. I was, however, quite disappointed in the kitchen. Let’s just say it needs a deep clean and some new cook/bakeware. IMO the house cleanliness was average and I can accept that unless more has been promised as stated on VRBO as ”VERY HIGH CLEANING STANDARDS.”"
