Top Cougar Crest Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Bear Creek Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was just fine."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

8/10 Good

"It is a spacious cabin with a functional kitchen. The cabin is located in a good spot and is close to restaurants etc. The amenities were good. Close to the lake the area around the cabins is nice. Parking was easy and allocated to each cabin. The rooms smelled musty which was off putting and overall the cabin was not particularly clean. The furniture is dated and some were falling apart. You have to lug your luggage from the parking area. There is no one to greet you or show you around as you have to just pick up the keys and figure the rest on your own. The key to the door did not work well as the lock likely is old and took a fair amount of attempts each time just to open the door."

Hampton Inn Big Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, everything was perfect!"

Sessions Retreat & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute place! Staff was great….. lots of charm….. price was great and location was great too. Only thing this place doesn’t have AC but they do give a fan to plug in as well as a heater when it’s cold but other than that it was fine. We look forward to coming back."

Robinhood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay there. It was old but had character. Very convenient location. We could walk everywhere. Will definitely go again."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"The cabin is perfectly set off from the lake and in good walking distance to the Village and boat rentals. Kitchen is fulling stocked with dishes, pots, pans and coffee pot etc... Little table for two set cutely up.... Beds were nice with gel mattress, and bedding with pillows new and clean.. Bathroom clean... Shower/Tub looked like maybe someone replaced the shower head and did clean up after replacement... could have been rinsed down.... We will defiantly be staying again :-) possibly renting more than one cabin for a family trip."
