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.

The towels had some stains on them, wasn’t sure if they were just stained or dirty. We had a couple of spiders in the room, but given the location, it’s probably unavoidable. You can’t beat the location though, right at the lake and down the street from Big Bear Village. Overall, decent place.
