Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent place to stay, especially if you enjoy cooking and the simple life!"

Bear Creek Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin was cute and fit the 8 of us perfectly. Nice kitchen as we cooked and large table we all ate at. Beds were comfortable. We also used barbecue. Great fireplace… bring wood! Large Family room where we played games. Overall we had a blast and i’d recommend to come stay. They also had a restaurant on grounds. And to add we were walking distance from the Village."

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel near the lake is fairly quiet. Great blinds, curtains, large bathtub in my upstairs room. WiFi didn’t work in my room, it was a slight inconvenience for me, I guess that it’s down, not strong enough or something. The room is spacious. I was very comfortable. View of the lake was nice. There was construction during my stay but it was bearable. I highly recommend booking direct and save lots!"
