Top Big Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"My stay here was perfect! Our cabin was incredibly cozy and exactly what me and my partner were looking for in Big Bear! It was walking distance from the village center, the lake, coffee, and breakfast! I enjoyed everything from the in-cabin fireplace, the pool, jacuzzi, the lounge for perfect for reading, and on top of that the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful whenever I had a question or needed something (like extra towels). I would recommend The Burgundy to anyone staying in Big Bear, and I will definitely be coming back! :)"

Hampton Inn Big Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Overall the hotel was excellent. The only minor suggestions for improvement is the breakfast option. It was very out of the package and cheese omelet, potatoes and chicken sausage were very dry like it was missing the gravy as I've has similar meals before that seemed a little more fresh."

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicer places to stay in big Bear. Offer a decent breakfast. Two kinds of scrambled eggs, bacon one day the other day sausage. Fresh made pancakes, danishes, and toast. live music plays on Friday and Saturday nights from 6 to 9 in the on-site bar."

Motel 6 Big Bear Lake, CA

10/10 Excellent

"We decided to head up to Big Bear a day early to avoid a rainstorm that was coming in the day we were supposed to travel.. Couldn’t get in to the house a day early that we had rented for the week, so decided to stay one night at Motel 6. We were pleasantly surprised. Though the room itself is not real big, the bed was comfortable, the heater worked well in the room, it had a nice size refrigerator we were able to fit our stuff in from our portable ice chest overnight, a microwave, which was very handy, and the hot water in the bathroom was great. The only thing we didn’t care for was the water that came out of the sink faucet has this weird sprayer on it, I would imagine it is a control of some kind to conserve water and not turn it on full blast. But that was really not a big issue. There was coffee available in the lobby in the morning, the icemaker was broken, but you know, sometimes things just can’t be helped. All in all, it was a very comfortable stay, we were able to park our car right outside of our room downstairs, and we would be fine with staying there again sometime."

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, a fantastic place for the price. We really enjoyed our time at Arkouda house. The staff was accommodating to our early check-in request, very communicative and responsive before & during our stay. The lofted room was spacious and airy, the fireplace made it feel cozy, loved the shower. Thanks for having us!"
