Although we have been going here for years, it had been a while. We were pleasantly surprised. They have upgraded the cabins and added a wonderful fire pit. We had a view of the water and loved being walking distance to everything we needed.

This hotel is super convenient to Big Bear Village, and is right on the lake. But please note that the first picture that Expedia has for this hotel must be old or something they are planning to do because there is no patio right by the lake. None of that is there. There are a couple of tables and chairs on dirt. They have mostly little cottages and then one building that has around 20 rooms in it. I got a room in the bigger building which is closest to the lake. The room had already been updated and looked very nice and clean, but throughout my stay I noticed issues. First, there were cobwebs hanging from the bathroom ceiling. Then I found the bed uncomfortable. The edge basically collapses when you sit on it, so if you sleep near the edge you'll feel like you're rolling off. I tried moving to the other bed, but it had a very loud squeak if you moved at all and the edge of that one collapsed as well. Then, and most disturbingly, the bathtub creaked and groaned like it was going to crash through the floor (I was on the 2nd floor). Bathtubs shouldn't creak. There should be enough support under them that they are silent. The floor in the bathroom also creaked and it's very new so I'm just thinking their contractors suck. All in all, it's was fine, the price was right and they only charge $25/night for the pet fee, but I'm not going to be rushing to stay there again.

Overall the place is nice. Our room was sort of hot and the AC couldn’t keep up in the day time. Luckily we were out all day. But at night it took some adjusting several times to get it right. Ac couldn’t keep temp at what it was set to. Bed was sort of hard and lumpy. Everything else was great.

The property was nice and quiet. We stayed in one of their rooms not a cabin… if you’re a light sleeper don’t stay there the walls were very thin & you can hear your neighbors. It didn’t bother us. The room was surface cleaned, but the floors needed a good mop. It was basically a cleaner extension of outside. My daughters feet was really dirty after walking bare foot in the room. I would still recommend.

Overall had an great stay. Staff was very friendly but seems a little confused. There was a mix up on my reservation and when checking out staff didn't seem to know the process. Premium cabin I reserved was supposed to have partail lake view. I was given a regular cabin then told to go back to the front desk because of mix up. Ended up with a Premium cabin walking distance to lake. Cabin did not have drawers, dressers or closet. Somewhat inconvenient. But Overall love the area. Great weekend get away.
