Top Big Bear Central Hotel Reviews

Fireside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room 22 was clean, rather noisy though. It could do with new carpet, it’s rather old & worn. Refrigerator, Microwave and TV were all great! Didn’t use the fireplace, it was a new ce option to have if needed. Would have preferred a ground floor room though!! Easy area to walk around in. Appreciate that it’s pet-friendly, especially that they don’t overcharge as many of the other places are way too expensive! That was the main reason why we chose Fireside Lodge I want to say the staff were helpful and very kind. We will definitely stay here again"

Arkouda House

8/10 Good

"We reserved the family cottage with loft. The layout was great and my daughter loved the bunk beds/ cubbies to hang out in and sleep. Love that dogs can stay free. Nice bathroom. The living room area was pretty sparse, the seating was not very comfy. Walls were thin so you could hear rooms around you. Overall we were happy since it was a unique setup and clean and well located."

Knickerbocker Mansion and Estates

10/10 Excellent

"I like that it feels intimate and at the same time its walking distance from the village. The rooms are tastefully decorated modern spacious and clean, and are equipped with everything you need to feel home away from home. My husband and I have stayed twice our experience has been Above and Beyond. We can't wait to go back!!"

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"The cabin is perfectly set off from the lake and in good walking distance to the Village and boat rentals. Kitchen is fulling stocked with dishes, pots, pans and coffee pot etc... Little table for two set cutely up.... Beds were nice with gel mattress, and bedding with pillows new and clean.. Bathroom clean... Shower/Tub looked like maybe someone replaced the shower head and did clean up after replacement... could have been rinsed down.... We will defiantly be staying again :-) possibly renting more than one cabin for a family trip."
