“A great getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

My husband and I got the $169. deal for two nights at the lodge. When we arrived we were greeted by the staff and were given our key. When we got to the room we were pleasently suprised we had a view of the lake (beautiful), a small kitchenette and a fireplace. The room was clean, beds were comfy, lodge was quiet. There is a microwave, Coffee maker, and dishes and silverware (and if my memory serves me right there was also a small fridge,but call ahead on that). We had a great time. Big Bear has alot to offer anytime of the year and this was the place to stay. We plan on staying at the lodge on next trip to Big Bear

Room Tip: If you want a lake view call ahead and make a request

Hello. We apologize for the guest experience at our inn. Your reservation was for a garden room that does not have a view of the lake. We have spoken with Rachel and she is very sorry for her actions. We will continue training her in the future. We hope you will give us a chance on a future visit.

“"Family Vacation Spot"”

At this Lodge you will find friendly staff and a wonderful view of the Lake. We have been here a few times and it has always been great. The rooms are nice and if you need anything they will bring it to you. Its a great location for a reunion or a quick week end get away. They are walking distance to downtown, shopping and a large selection of food and entertainment. Beds are comfortable and rooms have small kitchen area. Give it a try you will not be disappointed. Oh ya you can bring small dogs too if you cant live without them like me..

“If you go, just have proper expectations.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I’m all about expectations when traveling and this is especially helpful in Big Bear where the accommodation range is extensive.

First, none of the rooms identified as “suites” really are suites. The Kitchen, Garden, Spa and Lakefront “suites” are all single room hotel rooms with no separate bedroom. There is only one real suite and it is a two bedroom suite with a full kitchen. This unit is shown on the website but is not identified on the property map. In this suite, bedroom needs to be defined loosely here as there is no closet, no dresser and no TV in the master bedroom. The only bathroom in the suite is accessible only through this master bedroom.

At the Big Bear Lake Front Lodge you …

Can expect: pretty good location, comfortable beds, clean bedding, working kitchen appliances, hot water, reasonable quiet, great views, lake access (including boat dock for swimming or boating), generally friendly staff, generally clean rooms (our carpet clearly had not been vacuumed but was cleaned upon request), small but safe play area for kids 4 and up.

Cannot expect: dish soap, dish towels, working lights in refrigerator / stove, toaster, anything other than basic cooking utensils (eg. no spatulas), cooking knives (i.e. cannot cut an apple),mixing / serving bowls (we tossed salad in a sauce pan), BBQ tools, charcoal, matches, ice (even for purchase and despite what the room book says), ice trays, TV channel guide, alarm clocks, phone in room, screens on all windows, pillowcases on all pillows or real houskeeping services during your stay. If you ask the front desk for any of these items, you can expect to get a nicely stated “NO”.

Bottom line: Good place to stay if you can get a solid discount and can bring with you all of the things you will find lacking in the rooms.

“Great view of the lake! Feels like you have a private rest house!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

Stayed overnight in room 17 & 19, 2nd floor, great lake view and you can fish, play and take pictures by the lake. There is a small veranda to relax at. Rooms are old but has microwave and refrigerator which saved us from eating out. The blankets are warm, the bed comfy. The bathroom is small but clean. The lady receptionist during check in was not very friendly, although we did not really have so much interaction with her. Very near the Marina where you can rent boats. We used Fish Big Bear Charter Service by Curt Dills and caught 19 fishes in 2 hrs. He and Mike were superb! We all had a blast on the lake.

Room Tip: Get 2nd floor room so no obstructions.
