10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Knickerbocker Mansion was absolutely unforgettable. We came to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday, and it was the perfect setting for such a meaningful occasion. The property felt like a peaceful luxury retreat tucked away in the mountains. The property is stunning — full of historic charm, beautiful modern and industrial details feeling cozy and inviting. It was spotless, comfortable, and ideal for our whole family to gather. We especially loved being able to bring our fur babies along too — finding a place this beautiful that is also genuinely pet-friendly made the experience even more special. We spent time in the lounge area playing billiards, air hockey, and board games, relaxing by multiple fire pits and cozy lounge spaces throughout the grounds, and even enjoyed ping pong while overlooking Big Bear Lake. Some of our favorite memories were BBQing together, soaking in the hot tub under the stars, and watching the sunset from the cabin as the mountains glowed in the evening light. Every moment felt peaceful and memorable. Our host Patrick was absolutely wonderful — welcoming, responsive, and attentive, making everything seamless from start to finish. Knickerbocker Mansion gave us the perfect backdrop to slow down, celebrate, and truly connect as a family. We left feeling refreshed and grateful. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, group retreat, or even to host a wedding, Knicker Mansion exceeds expectations in every way. 12/10 Highly recommend!!"

Bear Creek Resort

8/10 Good

"There's rarely anybody in the office, though you are giving a number you can call or text. Room didn't come with a coffee maker, and when I requested one I didn't get it until I was almost ready to leave. Bed could have been cleaner, there were bugs but being as this is more rustic living I kind of expect that (pincher bugs, not roaches or bed bugs). Bathroom was well stocked with plenty of hot water in the shower, and the kitchen was in good condition with everything you need."
