The property was nice and quiet. We stayed in one of their rooms not a cabin… if you’re a light sleeper don’t stay there the walls were very thin & you can hear your neighbors. It didn’t bother us. The room was surface cleaned, but the floors needed a good mop. It was basically a cleaner extension of outside. My daughters feet was really dirty after walking bare foot in the room. I would still recommend.

Overall had an great stay. Staff was very friendly but seems a little confused. There was a mix up on my reservation and when checking out staff didn't seem to know the process. Premium cabin I reserved was supposed to have partail lake view. I was given a regular cabin then told to go back to the front desk because of mix up. Ended up with a Premium cabin walking distance to lake. Cabin did not have drawers, dressers or closet. Somewhat inconvenient. But Overall love the area. Great weekend get away.

5 Stars – Great Dog-Friendly Stay at Big Bear Frontier! I had such a great stay at Big Bear Frontier! One of the biggest highlights for me was how dog-friendly the property was. From the moment we arrived, everything felt convenient and well thought out for pet owners. The cabin’s location was perfect — close to everything, including the marina — and the interior exceeded expectations. The hardwood floors were a nice touch, and everything inside felt new and clean. The kitchen was actually better than I anticipated, fully stocked and easy to use. If I had to mention a few areas for improvement, I’d suggest adding a dog wash area — it would be such a helpful perk, especially after outdoor adventures. Also, the showerhead in our unit had very low pressure, which made showers a bit underwhelming. Another minor issue was the doggie trash area near the barbecue and play zone — it was overflowing and had an unpleasant smell, so regular maintenance there would be appreciated. Despite those small things, the overall experience was excellent. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and welcoming. I did find it a bit tricky walking into town since sidewalks were pretty much nonexistent and cars can zoom by — something to be mindful of if you’re walking your dog. But the convenience of the location, especially how close it was to the marina, really made up for it. I would absolutely come back and stay here again. A solid, relaxing getaway in a beautiful and dog-friendly environment!

Union entering our room we found the last guests towels behind the door in the bathroom and surrounding the room along the ceiling and in the curtains were large spiderwebs full of gnats. I spent the first 15 minutes cleaning the room and getting the bugs out of the curtains. The room was otherwise clean. I imagine someone just forgot to look behind the door when cleaning and is focused so didn’t look up when turning the room around. Realizing we are in the country there will be a few bugs, but this was obviously a multiple day over site. The front desk staff were lovely. The private beach is more dirt than sand as an FYI and it is in a marina cove. The area is quiet at night which was fantastic. You can tell there was a lot of care put into the remodel and it looks great. Just some housekeeping issues that don’t seem pervasive. I’m sure it was a one off.

Excellent Stay

We were greeted by a kind gentleman upon arrival. Our room was very clean and well appointed with a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. The electric fireplace was a nice touch! Our beds were comfy. The location is central to all Big Bear has to offer. Overall our stay was excellent. We can hardly wait to visit again.
