Room is overall really clean and price is affordable. It’s near the lake. But one thing.. the bbq spot was little disappointing. The fire was too low so the meat wouldn’t cook. Service was good. Bed is little small for two adults to sleep on. But overall, it was great!

The room was very clean and tidy, and quite spacious. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. It is located right next to the lake, with a nice surrounding environment. The only downside is that the exterior appearance looks rather ordinary.

The cabin was nice and spacious and very clean. We did not get housekeeping service though despite putting the sign on twice( we forgot the first day). The location is perfect. We attempted to light up the fireplace but something was off with how bad it smelled indoors with the smoke being blown inside despite the vent being open. Finally, we did freeze a little. No comforters, no extra blankets and it was a snow storm outside ( the front desk is far). I did not realize my kids had a phone in their room until it was time to leave. The heater in the master bedroom was broken and and the portable one was also broken. I did mention this upon checkout and was hoping for some sprt of credit but nothing was done.

Upon arrival the staff was friendly and attentive. The issues started in the room with lumpy bed that hurt me and my partners neck, struggled with the door to open or close, the shower/ bathroom combo flooded into the faucet area which made running to the restroom a messy experience. The view of the lake was nice, the heater was cozy, and the table was cool but the negative things I described almost ruined my first experience to Big Bear.

No offers of cleaning. However we did have pets with us, perhaps this is why. It wasn’t a major issue. Their fireplace did not function correctly and set off alarm (I checked flue and it was open etc etc I know what I am talking about) I think their chimney shaft is so tiny it dint function as it should and they have no glass over the fireplace, I don’t think the vent fan for the fireplace worked. I bought wood for nothing. Their kitchen appliances are damaged and nearly non functional and made it difficult for us. Big bear itself was great. The fact they allow dogs is great. But the overall experience was not cool.
