This was the perfect place for us for our mountain biking adventure. Location was excellent, walkable, and we rarely had to use our car. The layout of the building is great for minimal noise issues. Although these are older units, the rustic charm was a cool vibe and everything was in working order with no issues at all. Highly recommend!

Location is a selling point. Right in the heart of the village. It’s a small property but very spacious. It a little outdated but for the size and location, it was great. Comes with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, parking. Perfect for a family with kids as there was bunk bed available. Portable ac in the living room and a fan in the main room. Your a minute or so out your door to the village.

Excellent little gem in the heart of The Village and just a short walk down the main drag to Pine Knot Marina and a cute playground for kids. The management company was very responsive and check-in and parking was easy. The unit itself hasnt been remodeled, and has original 1970's sink and wood paneling but they did a great job in keeping it clean and adding charming cabin style decor. They have every amenity including drip coffee maker, toaster, fridge, hair dryer and bathroom toiletries. I would stay here again and highly reccomend!

Check in/out was easy and the staff very friendly and responsive. Room is very spacious and clean. The hotel is at a great location , walking distance from nice restaurants and stores. Everything was great, the only thing it could be update is the cookware/ pans, other than that we loved it and we’ll definitely come back.

We booked the Brown Bear room at SoCal Vacations. It’s right in the Main Street of Big Bear Village. It had everything we needed for our family of 4, plus doodle pup. We were able to cook in. Communication was stellar. Would definitely book again for winter or summer.
