Lagonita Lodge

8/10 Good

"Location of the property was great. The only thing I didn't like was that there's no AC, on summer days it can get really hot. I didn't have a good night sleep due to how hot was inside my room. Everything else was okay."

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"We originally booked a cabin, but a couple of weeks before our trip, we received an Expedia message saying there were no cabins available for our dates, even though we had already paid the deposit. They did have a 2-queen motel room reserved for us instead, and honestly, it worked out for the better. The room had air conditioning, which was definitely needed during a hot July weekend in Big Bear! The room was clean, the Wi-Fi worked great, and I really liked that the TV allowed us to switch inputs. We were able to hook up our Fire Stick and use our streaming services, including watching WWE SummerSlam. Our room was right next to the lake, so we had amazing views and it was so relaxing with the BBQ and benches at the picnic area. The location was also close enough to the Village that we walked over a few times for food—Village Pizza, BBQ at The Cookshak, and of course morning coffee at Tea & Coffee Exchange. The only issue we had was with parking. It seemed like the parking and picnic area could be better monitored, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. There was a large gathering at the picnic area, and by the time we returned, there was only one parking spot left. I'm not sure if everyone there was staying at the property, but it would be nice if parking was better enforced to make sure registered guests have a place to park. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend, especially if you're visiting during the summer!"

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"Online check-in, pet friendly, newly renovated, walk to the Village. We stayed in a very nice one bedroon cabin with equipped kitchen, a/c, private deck, jetted tub, king bed, and plenty of space to safely walk our dogs on the property. Everything was lovely. Spacious, clean, modern-rustic. The owner greeted us personally and took care of everything. By far th best accomodations for the price in Big Bear, will definitely return."

Fireside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Very convenient to the Village and its amenities. Although my room was quite small, it was only me and my dog and IMO good value for the price. Some deferred cosmetic maintenance in the room, e.g. patched but not painted spots on the wall. I mainly picked this place because 1) I have an elderly dog I can't travel without; and 2) I swim for daily exercise. The outdoor pool was very nice and the staff was both efficient and extra helpful. I visited during a heat wave and enjoyed the mini-split AC unit. I also got a private in-room in-person tutorial on how to operate it with the remote control unit. I will definitely stay here again."
