A very relaxing stay with a nice view. The balcony was perfect for early mornings and late afternoon relaxation listening to nature. The rooms were very comfy and the kitchen was a nice touch.

Big Bear Lakefront Lodge is a gem!!

Absolutely loved our stay at Big Bear Lakefront Lodge! The staff (Terry and Marisol) were extremely courteous and accommodating. They offered my family a warm reception when we arrived. The view is amazing!! A beautiful, inspiring panoramic view of the lake and trees. Even better... this cozy lodge is located right smack dab in the heart of Big Bear Lake, literally down the block from the village! The beds are comfortable, room was tidy. Perfect for the family! Big Bear Lakefront Lodge is a gem!!

Place sucks

We booked a King bed room. We got a two queen room and were still charged the full price. I honestly willing to look past all the construction going on. No chairs on the beach. ha ha. There was no beach. I asked the inn keeper directly if we would be charged full price. she assured me it would be the queen rate

Horror night

Horrible everything! This place has not been cleaned for YEARS (I’m not afraid to say that). It was scary to sleep, especially with an infant. I was scared of rats getting to my little one, so there was no sleep at all((( never had experienced anything like this in any hotels, and I traveled quite a bit throughout my life at different places in the world, never would imagine that somewhere in the US it is possible to see this kind of “picture” I cannot name it home nor hotel.
These are the towels we were supposed to dry ourselves ((( yakhq
Dishwasher- I threw up after opening it. Stinks horribly.
Beds sheets were one dirtier than the other

8/10 Very good

staff was friendly, really great view of the lake with dock and optional grill area. didn’t realize there was no a/c, was a bit rough and didn’t feel comfortable leaving windows open overnight on the first floor but second floor would have been fine for air flow. overall pleasant stay, good location and view was awesome.

10/10 Exceptional

“The property is a bit older, but its charm is undeniable—beautifully situated right off Big Bear Lake. The location is ideal, offering easy access to events and local attractions. The beds were soft and clean, and the room was comfortably furnished with a small dining table, cabinet, fireplace, and fridge. Although breakfast was included, we had early plans and didn’t get to try it; it appeared to be a simple offering of cereal and fruit. Overall, this spot would be a great fit for families, couples, or solo travelers alike.”

DO NOT BOOK!

DO NOT BOOK!!! The property pictures look nothing like the pictures. The room was digesting, dirty sheets, dirty floors. Window didn’t lock. Feels exceptionally unsafe. There is no playground. The beachfront is a joke. Looks like a property out of a horror movie. Exceptionally disgusting and terrifying. We ended up not checking in out of fear and leaving. The owner refused to go give a refund for our two night stay even though we never stayed due to the fact that the property is a health and safety violation waiting to happen.

WARNING - DO NOT BOOK - UNSAFE

DO NOT BOOK!!! I booked on here and I can assure you this property looks nothing like the pictures. The room was dirty, the sheets had actual rips in them. It's also a terrifying property. Looks like something out of a horror movie. I also was followed into the room my the male check in attendant whenI informed him of the state of the repulsive accommodations. This property is a serious health and safety concern. I rushed to my car with my soon and left right away. They charged my card for a to night stay and I didn't even check in. Truly a nightmare. Stay away for your health and safety.
