Top Big Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Snow Lake Lodge

8/10 Good

"I appreciate that the property is very clean and the staff is very friendly and efficient. In the bedroom: the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with towels, and the kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and dishes. The downside is the lack of an elevator; I stayed on the third floor, and hauling up all the luggage—plus groceries—was quite a hassle. Since we stayed for three nights, the luggage was heavy to carry all the way up."

Robinhood Resort

8/10 Good

"Great location at the entrance to The Village shopping area. Lots of places to eat there which is good because the restaurant at the resort is closed. Wifi had no internet so staff gave us password to different network. Again log in was easy but no internet, so used my phone as a hot spot for the laptop which worked well, maybe because huge cell tower next door. Only place I've stayed where the water pressure was actually too high, the shower stung my skin it had such force! But the room was large, had nice fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Very nice balcony to relax on and a liquor store across the street to grab a cool one at the end of the day. Would definitely stay there again."

Bear Creek Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was great! The place was very homey and clean. Angela was also amazing, however the tv wasn’t working, We were not told we needed to ask for hot water so we endured a cold shower at night but then asked Angela the next day and it was heated but only slightly warm. The highlight was the private jacuzzi! In spite of the two not so great things this was a very memorable stay and kind of perfect."

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"Request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs. Despite an amazing location, remodeled rooms and amazing stay, my only complaint is how thin the walls are. We go to bed fairly early but people upstairs stayed up and walked around and played music until 2am. It’s not their fault but I would request the room upstairs if I planned to stay again “also request a fan because it’s wayyyy too quiet and you hear everything!!!! But again, it’s a beautiful location, beautiful rooms and for the price, I’d book again"
