Liked: Amenities
The stairs were hard to navigate, but we are seniors. We were super disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work. The room was decorated nice and the kitchen was a plus. Terry the manager was extremely nice. Part of the disappointment was Expedias fault. They listed it as having breakfast, it was continental. All and all it is a good location and fairly priced.
We were happy with this property. The location was great although we weren’t in a room that had a Lake view, It was a beautiful location. A little bit disappointed about the fireplace, not working, but the owner said she’s going to be making improvements on all of the amenities.

Nice friendly staff, clean room and comfortable bed also great price
We had cold water first two days which sucked being 6 months pregnant and trying to avoid getting sick. Other than that it was completely fine and would come back
Filthy room, filthy sheets, room and balcony in disrepair. On-site managers did their best, but the property has been allowed to go to shambles. Never again.

Great location
Location is great walking distance to village right on the lake it’s budget friendly but outlets were loose we could barely keep our phones charged and had to try one outlet after another that wasn’t about to fall out of the wall the deadbolt wasn’t working the coffee machine did not work. The fireplaces were broken But it’s rustic and quiet the staff is friendly and helpful
We were in BB for a family funeral. We enjoyed the view, the size of the room, and two queen beds. The staff was very attentive. Definitely would return. We also liked the small beach and pier where swallows nest.
The service was top notch. I can not say enough good things about Terry at the front. The view in our room was amazing. I usually bring my own pillow but I forgot. The bed and the pillows were perfect!! I can not wait to plan a return trip!
It’s an okay property. We booked it so we could fish from the pier so weren’t looking for anything special. It was very cold in the room. They brought in a room heater for second night but it didn’t work. Overall not a bad place to stay if you only plan to use it to sleep.
A bit secluded from the main drag of town, which made for a nice, quiet environment. Would have liked to see more seating options on the private beach, as well as more complimentary breakfast options
Staff were nice. If anything, I would say they redeem the place. We especially enjoyed the picnic tables by the lake. We were 4 families in total with 4 rooms.
They had a pingpong table that our kids enjoyed.
Town was walkable 5mins maybe but I personally would not let my kids walk because there’s no paved sidewalk. I felt unsafe but as a big group i thought we would be hard to miss and the rest of our group wanted to walk so we did. Just be careful if you do that as cars were pretty fast.
we moved the picnic tables around since we were a big group and staff allowed us to do so. our kids were able to play on the parking grounds and on the sand. given that is summer, there were lots of growth in the water so we weren’t able to play in it. ducks were everywhere. the sunrise was nice.
the rooms are a different story. the pictures made it seem like they were up-to-date but that is very far from reality. lighting were dark and depressing. locking rooms don’t feel secure to me at all. luckily we didnt bring much valuables. towels were old and in different shades of white except “new towel” kind of white.
we had a microwave and a kitchen sink beside it. that helped given the bathroom sink was tight.
power outlets need to be updated. none on them worked unless you bend your adapter’s metal plug to keep them in.
water pressure was nice. but look to adjust before use or you will flood your bathroom like we did.
not sure i love it but we did like our company and staff.
The lady who cheched us in was very nice and friendly.
There were many issues with the lodge. The place itself is very old which would have been ok, however. The issues with the room are as follows. The heater disnt work. The bathroom door didnt align properly so the door did not close all the way. The shower did not drain while taking a shower. The shower doors did not keep the water inside and water spilled out all over the bathroom floor. The fireplace didnt work. The screen door leading to the balcony did not stay on the railing.
No one available in the office. No wifi, no blanket, no heater.

Well to get things started the tv cable to watch it was not working didn’t have any tv reception for our stay they tried to take care of it and replaced the tv in our room but it was not the tv it was the cable co then we had RATS in the room at night the management tried to accommodate us with several rooms but no tv service as far as the rats we ended buying rat traps to be able to stay in the room second night we killed one last night there we killed two rats we enjoyed our stay in the day the view was awesome from our balcony but it was the problem with the cable service and the rats management was awesome trying to put us in other rooms to accommodate us but the reason we stayed in that room was the view that we paid they even offered us our money back if we wanted to leave but to find a place for the weekend would’ve been hard to find a room so we stuck it out that’s why I bought the traps so we didn’t have to go looking for another place the management did what they could to keep us happy but we stuck it out ownership needs to pursue these problems to get us back we really enjoyed our view from our belcony that’s why we stayed Wife wanted to leave but I talked her into sticking it out but I killed 3RATS now that issue really needs to be addressed we want to go back to the same lounge for the winter but hopefully these issues are taken care off by then management was doing there best to help us out but it has to do with ownership of lounge

Original room was unclean, discussed with hotel agent to get another room that was clean, another room was assigned that was clean. All beds have box springs that were noisy. Property was quiet with Big Bear Lake behind Lodge and close to The Village area
