"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didn’t quite capture the cabin’s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

"The hotel itself was great. The only problem was that there was no microwave available in our room nor in the coffee room at the hotel lobby. So if you bring food or have leftovers from a restaurant don’t expect to eat it warm again unless you have a suite. Not cool. The majority hotels now a days have both fridge and microwave for their guests. Or available in their coffee or breakfast lounge area. Our fridge in the room broke down and they never got it to work properly during our three day stay. So I may choose a different hotel for my next visit to big bear Lake. I would like to be able to warm my food without breaking the bank. 💯"

"The internet does not show that the resort is under construction. We stayed in the hotel portion instead of an individual bungalow. However, we were not disturbed by any construction noise. The hotel section was very nice, clean and had great air conditioning. I would suggest putting a clock on the nightstand. Also, even though checkout is 11am, our key was disabled when we returned from breakfast at 10:45am. We had to drive to the office and get the key reactivated so we could get our belongings. But I would stay there again. It's in a very good location."
