Top North Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Best place to stay at big bear. Period."

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room is quite spacious and comfortable with a great view of the lake. The bathroom was very clean and the bed comfortable. My wife especially liked that they still use real keys. They also do not provide daily service, which for us, is a plus. However, they are ready to provide you with anything you need. The property was clean with a grassy area next to the parking lot. There are bistro tables and chairs throuout where you can enjoy the fresh air and a cup of tea, or coffee, with plenty of trees to provide shade. There is a a restaurant on either end of the property which is very convenient. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We plan to visit here again soon."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly, cute outside areas, wonderful!"

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."

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.”"
