Robinhood Resort

8/10 Good

"Great location, near the village and the lake. Very friendly staff."

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"This was overall a good pick for Big Bear. The room and beds were comfortable, service was friendly, loved the live music in the Tiffany restaurant bar, and liked the location and adjacent walking path. We were lucky to have a room overlooking the back/pool. The meh: The bathroom needed a fix-up (damaged tub, for one), none of the updated electrical outlets would hold a USB charger, and the jacuzzi, which did have great jets, turned out to be a tepid tub (it had just been repaired, so maybe it was on its way to hot)."

N+P Boutique Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Let me start with this stuff first: -VERY CLEAN PROPERTY. -Mini kitchen was cute and useful! -Fireplace is a nice touch. -Staff we communicated with was very kind and helpful about multiple issues. Backstory: We booked a 2-night stay at Elfreide's Haus (one of the Boutique Cabine through N+P Boutique) during our stay in Big Bear CA. Although there were quite a few "hiccups" during our stay; I'm still willing to give N+P a strong review! Solely due to the wonderfully attentive Property Manager (Stephanie); who assisted us during our stay. They unfortunately booked a massive "mock wedding" photo shoot, literally on the exact 2 days we were visiting. Yikes! So our "quiet" mountain-town visit, ended up full of models, photographers, and an entire moving-team setting up countless wedding decor and staging mock dinners and bride/groom shots. The included community bicycles also had very flat tires, which made them nearly impossible to ride; and they were unable to be inflated until we no longer needed them. Regardless! Please hear me out! We absolutely LOVED our stay at Elfreide's Haus! We would most certainly stay here again! And we have told all of our friend's and family members nothing but good things about this facility! Stephanie tried her absolute best to assist us, and take care of us, as she was WELL AWARE that our quiet vacation, wasn't so quiet. Thanks Stephanie! We truly appreciate you. Hope to visit again sometime, for a better 2nd time stay! :-)"

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"Place is nice and quiet. Room was clean and cozy. The location is right next to the village, it’s a 5-10 min walk, very convenient. I absolutely love that we got to bring our dog on this trip, he loved it! Owner and staff are very welcoming! Highly recommend this place!"

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy convenient for a Kodiak by UTMB runner ! Plenty of Parking Staff friendly The coffee shop next to it is friendly too."

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy room and great location"

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"It's a great property and well maintained. It was a little different to not have contact with any staff either on arrival or departure. However, check-in and check-out were easy, so it's fine. I liked the place and will return."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"No hangers in the wardrobe. Bring your own. No cutting board and cattle at the kitchen. Some pans don’t have covers. Kitchen dishes and glasses set very basic. The floor inside the unit has many single steps stairs. 2 steps from living room to the kitchen. One step from kitchen to the bathroom. Watch your steps, you may fall. House has 2 queen beds. One is comfortable, another one has thin foam mattress that is smaller than a bed frame, be careful. Balcony door doesn’t have a lock, kids may run out to the balcony, nothing prevents them from open the door."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The home was very clean. Comfortable space for parking. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Living area was great. Great views. It’s always nice when place turns out better than you expected. I highly recommend this home for vacation. Very Happy"
