Lagonita Lodge
The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The title of the rooms is a little deceiving. For the best affordable views of the lake choose the Bear View rooms (not lake view). The property offers a lot of activities to do right on the premises.

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection
Our stay was very nice. Alway so peaceful up in big bear. Hotel was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and professional. Breakfast was delicious. I would suggest people have to wear masks when getting food as some have no manners and were coughing. But overall a great trip for my husband and I.
