Boulder Bay

"I had to shovel three foot high snow 10 feet long to get to the front door. I also had to shovel another six feet to get to the stairs as well. Luckily I brought a shovel because if I hadn’t I couldn’t have gotten into the place. This was after being told the room wasn’t ready and was being worked on. Once inside it was a Time Machine back the 80s everything was extremely outdated. The only plus was location and view"

Top Boulder Bay Hotel Reviews

Postcard Cabins Big Bear, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and has everything you need in it. Staff are friendly and responsive. Would love to be there again"

Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff is nice enough. The property is older and in need of a couple updates but I still enjoyed our stay so much. The amenities (pool, lake access, spa, arcade, restaurant and bar) and location (on the lake, walkable to a brewery and the village) are what make this place. The rooms are standard with a nice patio and view. They could also use a little update especially the pull out couch mattress. It was one of the worst my kids have slept on. Will return."

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent breakfast buffet, great location, spacious room that really feels like a forest chateau. Helpful staff, walkable to nearby restsurants and a few miles from the Big Bear Zoo in Moonridge and the Bear Mountain skiing and hike area."

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience! It was our first time at this property. Great location & amenities. Love that you can contact staff via text message with any questions and requests. They were very responsive and fast! Overall loved it and will be returning again soon!"
