A very relaxing stay with a nice view. The balcony was perfect for early mornings and late afternoon relaxation listening to nature. The rooms were very comfy and the kitchen was a nice touch.

Not a fan
They had no hot water in our building but they said Hotel.com was not supposed book the rooms in the first place. They did take $100 off for our weekend tho. But continental breakfast in just a coffee machine, dry cereal and granola bars. 2 queen beds in my room and 1 of beds literally had a box spring as the mattress. Cool they had a boat dock. You can keep your boat tied up all weekend. Besides that. Not a fan

Hidden gem in Big Bear! The views of the lake are amazing and Mia at the front desk was awesome. You can walk to the village in less than 10 mins and you can visit the new bar and restaurant right by the resort called the Bear Trap, really fun place with amazing cocktails.

Love this place!
Staff was very friendly and helpful! Would recommend staying here anytime of the year! Being right on the lake was beautiful in the winter and we’re sure it would be spectacular in the summer!

The property unit I got was a bit smaller than what I expected but overall it was a very peaceful quiet property and very clean. I think next time I book a stay I will request a bigger room but other than that I was satisfied with my stay.

The staff was very responsive, breakfast was disappointing, rooms were clean but some things didn't work though staff tried to accommodate us by changing rooms. It was ok - but a plus is its very close to the town.

A new experience together.
We like it, my husband and I have a good time together, we cook steak and veggies together on the little kitchen.
The only thing is that, the website says breakfast free. And they only have cold cereal and fruit.
But we enjoy the rest, the backyard looks nice at night we took a nice picture.thank you

Worst hotel you could ever stay at. Ants, roaches and spiders throughout the room. No dresser to put your clothes in. The mattress was about 4 inches thick. The mattress frame was horrible so we ended up putting the mattress on the floor. Overall disgusting place.
