Property was a little dated. Shower didn’t stay warm for two people. Nicely located within Big Bear Village. Which made it convenient and walkable.

The unit was surprisingly spacious. It was a one bedroom, one bath with the sink area separated from the tub/toilet which is nice. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, dishes, pots, pans, etc. There was a full size kitchen with stove, oven and fridge. No dishwasher. The living room was huge with a sofa and a trundle bed that sleeps two. The dining table is perfect for 4. I suppose one could also use the kitchen counter to eat but there were no seats provided. I would have no hesitation cooking in that kitchen but there were plenty of dining options nearby. The location cannot be beat in the heart of the Village and parking just behind the building. I stayed on a Thursday night. The village was happening but the room was not noisy. I'm not sure whether it would be noisy on a Friday or Saturday night. The hosts had very good communication, and I would definitely stay there again.

This place a hidden gem. From the outside you would never guess that this place was an inn. My daughters and I are staying in room 3 which is called grizzly bear. It’s super spacious with a separate bedroom. You walk out the front door and you are right smack middle of everything. I highly recommend this place.

Worth the money!

Guuuuys dont let the store front fool you. It's cozy Casual and chill So Much ambiance. We only used it to sleep wish we we stayed for the comfort. Can fit a few people but it was just 2 for us. We met friends and craved the "cabin" feel. It could be more updated but... To each their own. Price was right. They were amazing and they met all my expectations. Super personable and texted when needed! Please stay here and make it known it's super low key chill.
