Top Cougar Crest Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Robinhood Resort

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here a few times. The staff, the location in town, the cost, nothing fancy just a comfortable place to me."

Lagonita Lodge

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay at Lagonita Lodge for one night. The property is a little older, but it’s well maintained and has a cozy mountain charm with rustic furnishings that fit the Big Bear setting perfectly. The lakefront location is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake. The sleeper sofas could use new mattresses, and the bathrooms could benefit from some updating, but overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would stay here again."

Vintage Lakeside Inn

8/10 Good

"This was a last-minute booking for me, and it worked out great! The price was affordable, and the rooms were large and very very clean. The large fridge and microwave were a great plus. The Wi-Fi didn't seem to work, and there is no air flow even with the window open so it can get stuffy in warmer weather. The walls were very thin, so if noise from other units bothers you I would keep that in mind when booking."

Holiday Inn Resort The Lodge At Big Bear Lake by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it!!!"

N+P Boutique Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute Cabin in a quiet area, convenient location. Enjoyed the 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."

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.”"
