Location was decent, close to town. Cabin #5 was old and run down. Shower was nasty with stains and mildew in the floor cracks. Shower valve would not completely shut off due to the valve being old and worn out. Mattresses were horrible. Middle was extremely worn, forcing you into the valley in the center. Got up the next morning with a back ache. Heater was extremely loud, creaking all night. I know it is old but have never heard one that loud. Worst sleep I ever had on a vacation. Booked room the evening before. Nobody at office at 3;15. Had to call and leave message on answering machine. They called back probably 30 minutes later and told me they would open the cabin and leave the key inside, which was fine. Rate was decent for a little cabin, but not this one. If you stay here, don't expect a lot. Very old and run down. I am usually pretty tolerant with vacation accomodations but this place felt dirty inside. I'm glad I went with my gut feeling and only booked one night. I stayed somewhere else the next night. Hope this helps with your decisions.

The pictures online of our cabin did not look quite like the cabin we walked into. There were holes in the carpet, the bed was as hard as a rock and the shower was barley holding up. If you are looking for nothing better than super cheap and run down, this is it. Office was only open from 9-3. Asked why the hours were shortened from what was posted on the internet and in response I was rudly snapped at. I could have found better at the same price.

I just got back from a great weekend in Big bear. We stayed at the Villa Grove Cabin which is not directly within the hotel. It's a cabin located in a great residential area. Very private and clean. We were 8 people so the option of renting a cabin was better than a set of hotel rooms. We have rented cabins in big bear before and they all seem to be dirty and out of shape. This cabin was great. The outdoor Spa was even better after a whole day in the slopes. It was VERY clean. Since our group was big and sometimes it tends to be a little noisy, this cabin was a great option, the rest of the cabins are not that close. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain were very close.

The downside: It took us a while to find it because it was snowing and the cabin is in a residential area. The linens and bed stuff in general was a little out of shape. The towels were not that great. All of us brought our own anyway. Definitelly recomend you bring your own stuff if you are picky about those things. The shower was ok, clean but needs some work. The kitchen has everything you need but nothing is new, we did not mind this at all but just want to let you know about the fact in case you mind.

Please note that if you want comments on the Lodge itself and their cabins located in their grounds, this review won't apply. We did have to stop to pickup the keys and do the paperwork and It looks very nice from the outside, the location is great right on the main street and close to everything.

I booked one of the small cabins that slept 4 and found it to be just right! The staff was very helpful and nice and the cabin was very clean. My family and I stayed for approximatly a week and we will definetly come back. While it is on a main st it was very quiet and peaceful at night. It was also located close enough to the village but far away enough to be enjoyable. Thanks for the wonderful service.
