Robinhood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here multiple times and we love how close it is to everthing. Great price for being in the village. Must try."

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"A Mountain Gem We Stumbled Into We booked one night near Big Bear, expecting nothing. We left plotting our return. The verdict: More private than a hotel, more polished than a typical Airbnb—and run by someone who actually cares. Before arrival, I called with a simple AC question. Patrick, the owner, didn't just answer—he bought a unit and installed it for us. One phone call. That set the tone. He greeted us like family and walked us through the history. The mansion was built in the 1920s by William Knickerbocker, a real Paul Bunyan type who hand-felled the logs himself. You feel that craftsmanship in every beam. Yet nothing feels dated. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and comfortable, so you get 1920s soul without 1920s plumbing. The 2.5-acre grounds are stunning—room to breathe, tucked away, but minutes from the village. That evening, we poured wine by the fire pit under string lights. My shoulders finally dropped. Pure quiet. Who it's for: Couples wanting romance, families needing space, groups chasing something memorable. Would we return? In a heartbeat. Ask Patrick your questions, then book it—just don't blame us when one night isn't enough."

Studio 9 Big Bear

8/10 Good

"Room was clean except for tub had some mystery debris on the rim. A lightbulb was burnt out on bedside table. There was an exposed door to the adjoining room which opened to the other room-the door to the other room was closed thankfully. A mini fridge in a motel is always appreciated but the room unfortunately, didn’t have one. What mattered was ultimately that the bed sheets were clean, the ac was cold and the tv was big! Overall a decent stay for the price."

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice facility, large fairly new units, well maintained. Short walk to many restaurants, shops, and a marina where you can rent boats and jet skis. Short walk to Alpine Slide. The Zoo was worth a visit and only a short drive away. This was perfect for my family. I rented three 2BR units, and everyone enjoyed our time there."
