Not friendly, didn't try to help. As a snowboarder that is always in big bear, the customer service was zero here. Extremely disappointed with Expedia and this property on not being able to help a loyal customer.

We booked the Brown Bear room at SoCal Vacations. It’s right in the Main Street of Big Bear Village. It had everything we needed for our family of 4, plus doodle pup. We were able to cook in. Communication was stellar. Would definitely book again for winter or summer.
