It was a pretty decent experience for our first time and for a quick getaway for the holiday. Actually, it was great for the price last minute booking. Near lots of great restaurant options. Hot water worked well with great water pressure. Overall, great experience!
Property was located convenient to many of the attractions in big bear. Room was simple but clean nicely decorated everything worked.

Staff at check in was great, room was very clean, great location....but the mattresses were ridiculous. They are old, hard springs! What a shame to have a great location and good staff and owmers who wont put a decent bed in a hotel
!
Small and safe place to stay. The place is not fancy but the room was clean, bed comfortable and good size for one night as a couple. Has a nice place outside to have some time in nature. Quiet place to relax. I would come back if you need something affordable just to sleep in after long walks runs and be around the city.
Last minute booking, and I wasn't expecting anything grand, but I liked the place. Quiet, clean, and the bed was comfortable. I'm a pretty simple guy, so it worked well for my needs. The price was excellent, and for people that don't plan to spend a lot of time in their room, this would be the one to choose. It's Big Bear, who hangs inside?
Great place for families with spacious family suites available. Our kids loved the little playground and grassy area and we appreciated the quiet, beautiful area and the nearby walking path.
This is our second time staying here, it’s absolutely amazing. The rooms can be a bit dusty but it’s still clean. Amazing staff and stay, will come back again.

Affordable and convenient
Perfect for a last minute over night stay. Reasonable price. Clearly NOT a non smoking room. Clean towels and sheets.
Goldmine Lodge was the most affordable hotel we could find in Big Bear when we were booking a last-minute weekend trip. Not super fancy, but the bed was very comfortable. The only minor complaint is that the toilet and sink were very low
It was such a cute place to stay and very clean. It had everything I needed...microwave, large TV, large refrigerator, and a lot of little special items... such as very nice shampoos, lotions, and treats like popcorn, coffee and cocoa. I would definitely book it the next time.
Spacious 2-room with kitchenette, fireplace and huge TV. Very quiet, sets back from highway, with walking trail behind location. Picnic area & BBQs on site. Just a mile from zoo and great Moonridge coffee shop. Supermarkets & restaurants within a mile. A wonderful find.
Very cute rustic hotel, was clean and quaint. Had a good sized mini fridge , microwave. Could sit outside your room in the am -bench outside rooms or go downstairs. Surrounded by trees, a nice getaway.
This is a lovely little rustic diamond in the rough. The property is beautiful and our apt type room amazing!! It was spacious, clean and nicely updated. The kitchen had everything. The front desk awesome and view great!
Goldmine is clean, rustic, and charming. Check-in was quick and easy. Room and bathroom were clean, water was hot and plentiful, fridge and microwave functioned properly, TV and internet were fast and glitch-free. The surrounding area was quiet and shopping dining was within walking distance. I recommend.

Overall, it's a great value. It's on the city shuttle route and is walkable to Browne Lane parking for the snow summit. Everything is spotless (only the shower curtain needed to be washed). My only issues were that the mattress was too soft for me, and I could hear people talking in other rooms—which was not an issue after 10 p.m. Parking is almost in front of your room - excellent - and could use gravel, so one is not stepping in mud. The lodge has an oversized lot and benches for enjoying the outside. I would stay again if I could get a room with a firm mattress and only one adjoining room.
Its a cute, quiet place with a little grassy area in front. Playground needs an update and so do the rooms. Showers have hot water. Has somewhat of a cabin feel. Cute lights hanging across ourside. Front desk lady or the guy inside didnt greet me, she was rude and wasnt paying attention to what i was saying. I had to go to a diffrent hotel to chrck in and no one was at the gold mine hotel for me to check out.

This review is for the "cabin" rental, not the hotel with shared walls. Going into it we knew this was a budget location, so our expectations weren't high. To start with the positive, the bed was extremely comfortable and we got great sleep. The place is poorly constructed so expect loud and uneven 2nd level floor boards, not great lighting, 1st level bathroom with 2nd level bedrooms, super narrow staircase, loose bath faucet, no clocks' time match... this place could use some TLC. Oh yeah, and there was a hole in the exterior siding so there was a bird family living inside the wall of my kid's bedroom and it woke him up every morning because it sounded like a bird was flapping around in the room. My kid didn't mind... I guess it's charming? Having a full kitchen was nice, but it lacks the utensils and proper kitchen gear to really cook anything. We appreciated the field next door where our kid could play. Location is close to Snow Summit and Vons. Do I recommend it? If it's to save a few hundred dollars and you don't have high expectations and your wife is cool with it, then yes.
