The room was basic and dated, the fireplace offered no real heat to the room, there was an electric space heater that worked well. Breakfast was not really breakfast. I thought the room was very expensive for what was the reality. The counter person was friendly and helpful.

I stayed for 1 night with 3 other guests, got there less than an hour prior to check in so was hoping to check in a bit early due to being tired from our drive up the mountain & needing to use the restroom. The guy working reception was polite but the moment I walked into the office, he was on the phone w/ a woman on speaker. I’m guessing she was the owner but she was so rude, she was berating him, said it’d be a $30 early check in fee and then demanded he have me step outside of the office because she didn’t want me to hear them talking. After waiting outside of the office for 15 min I went back in the office to get a status (this was after the guy had returned from running back & forth through the property—my guess is to see if there were any rooms available/clean). He was still on the phone w/ that woman, and I politely said we just wanted to know if we can check in already as we had to use the restroom (there is no public restroom on site) otherwise we’d find somewhere to kill time. The guy working reception seemed overwhelmed w/ the woman on the phone and then said he cannot accommodate an early check in & will see us at 3pm. After checking into our room, we realized we only had 3 towels in our room so went back to the office to ask for another & they stated they were all out of towels. There was a lady at that time working reception & she was on speaker w/ the same woman who was talking in the same rude demeanor. Rooms were ok & shower had mold. Wouldn’t return.

Do not stay at this property. The manager is very rude and disrespectful. When I brought up safety issues regarding my recent stay, she got defensive and hung up on me refusing to help. There is potential mold and a bug problem. It is not safe to stay here

Everything in this room was old: the sofa was very old, the upholstery was frayed in places, the floors were dirty when we moved in, we asked them to wash them the next morning because the office was closed in the evening. We stayed there for two nights and the trash wasn't taken out. In short, I won't go there again.

This was hands down the worst place I have ever stayed, and that’s saying a lot. The cabin I booked wasn’t even serviced—mouse droppings everywhere, a carpet so filthy it was questionable to even walk on, and the entire place looked like it hadn’t been cared for in years. I had to beg for someone to clean it, and when the “housekeepers” finally showed up, they actually said they didn’t even have a vacuum and would just sweep. Seriously? And to top it off, at night you could hear rats crawling around. Absolutely disgusting. This place is filthy, rundown, and completely mismanaged. The ownership clearly does not care about guests or basic cleanliness. Save yourself the headache and stay far, far away.

This trip was spontaneous and we decided to get a cheaper room. The room itself wasnt bad but the firplace didnt work and the outlets on an entire wall didnt work, which meant the tv didnt work and also the fridge, which was kind of annoying since we had food that belonged in the fridge. I was told i would get a partial refund, so im hoping that they follow through. Besides that the hotel was in a good location, the staff was kind and the room was decent.

This is a cozy property right on the lake! They had a property-wide maintenance issue on our first night but the front desk employees were friendly and accommodating about it. The issue was resolved for the second night and we were compensated for our troubles. Our little one liked the balconies overlooking the courtyard. This hotel was in a great location and within a short walk to Big Bear Village. We'd recommend you stay at this hotel, especially for the price!

Such a great cozy little spot. I was only there for less that 24 hours but I was greeted by staff with so much kindness every time and felt very welcome. I loved how close I was to the village which made it super easy to take a nice walk to the shops. Everything was clean and maintained. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place to recharge.
