Really great place to stay in Big Bear. 5 minutes from Summit and Bear Mountain. Cabin was clean. Property is super dog friendly. Jackie helped us out when we needed more sheets and pillows and couldn't have been nicer. Will definitely book again!

Big kitchen, they got everything for you. But this kitchen is for everyone who stays there. It is separated from your room, prob 10 foot away. Very cosy and big! But when you book the room, it was not clear that the kitchen is for everyone and totally separated from your room. Other than that, pretty convenient location, 5 - 10 minutes drive from ski lift and lakes.

Great historic place to stay central location

This is a beautiful historic resort with kind of an Ozzy and Harriet flair I was given a terrific room ground-floor could park in front full kitchen and bath queen bed and queen sleeper I was in big bear looking for investment projects and I was paddle by natasha and Chris they were just terrific totally responsive to every question I had I can’t say enough nice things about the staff In fact I had a 13 day rental. And I had to go home five days early to deal with some chaos of my vrbo rentals in San Diego and Natasha was very gracious in getting me a refund and doing it properly and promptly
