“Owned by a family, father and daughter extremely helpful, mother a raging lunatic.”

While camping on federal property, we rented kayaks from these people. They put them In at the start of the river for us. Had a wonderful time until a storm kicked up. Had to hang out on the river due to lightning. When we got back to camp it was still raining and the lady from mortgagors was at our campsite to collect kayaks? We weren't finished, we were merely waiting for the rain to pass. She continued to walk through our campsite (which had basically been blown apart from the severe storm that had rolled through while we were stuck on the river) and kick garbage that had blown around as a result of our garbage can being blown over by the wind. She was cussing and kicking things I'n front of our small children while ranting that we were polluting state land. Very disrespectful because we had just gotten back to a camp that was torn apart. I do not recommend dealing with this woman, and definitely will NOT rent from northwoods when I return next month with a group of 30 potential customers that this woman could have had at $25 a crack.

“For Big Bear...this was good!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

We went to Big Bear last week and stayed at the Northwoods Resort. We drove around town and looked for other hotels, but this one really is the best. The location is PERFECT...you can walk to the famous "Village" and it's walking distance to a Starbucks, the Lake, etc. Overall, it was fine. The rooms are like a miniture Austrian Lodge, clean, soft beds, etc. We stayed on the 4th (top) floor and half the rooms have balconies which were nice. Waking up in Big Bear is great and the balcony allowed us to enjoy the morning sunrise over the pine trees. Really no complaints. We looked at about 20 different hotels and lodges...many were nice, more room, but more $$$. Just walk up to the counter of this Hotel and they will give you a good rate. No complaints at all.

“The Best Vacation Always and Forever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010

We have stayed at Northwoods Resort since I was a baby, we have had a long history here. My mom's parents used to vacation here also, we go way back! Coming up to the Northwoods is the highlight of our entire year! Pam and Ed are excellent hosts! They are very knowledgeable about everything from blueberry picking, hiking, trails, fishing, and pretty much everything there is to know about the Northwoods. The cabins are so beautiful and relaxing! The are rustic and authentic yet comfortable. Ed and family does a beautiful job with the up keep of the cabins and beach front. Pam and her beautiful daughters and a few friends do a wonderful job keeping the cabins sanitary from week to week... Thank You so Much Pam, Ed, Erin, and Amy for such a great place to vacation!

“Loved our stay at Northwoods Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2005

We arrived at Northwoods to our spacious 2-bedroom cabin overlooking AuTrain Lake. We drove our snowmobiles right across the lake for easy access to all of the trails. The cabin was beautiful. We enjoyed out stay! Thanks again Pam and Ed.
