Top Big Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

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!"

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"This was overall a good pick for Big Bear. The room and beds were comfortable, service was friendly, loved the live music in the Tiffany restaurant bar, and liked the location and adjacent walking path. We were lucky to have a room overlooking the back/pool. The meh: The bathroom needed a fix-up (damaged tub, for one), none of the updated electrical outlets would hold a USB charger, and the jacuzzi, which did have great jets, turned out to be a tepid tub (it had just been repaired, so maybe it was on its way to hot)."

N+P Boutique Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Let me start with this stuff first: -VERY CLEAN PROPERTY. -Mini kitchen was cute and useful! -Fireplace is a nice touch. -Staff we communicated with was very kind and helpful about multiple issues. Backstory: We booked a 2-night stay at Elfreide's Haus (one of the Boutique Cabine through N+P Boutique) during our stay in Big Bear CA. Although there were quite a few "hiccups" during our stay; I'm still willing to give N+P a strong review! Solely due to the wonderfully attentive Property Manager (Stephanie); who assisted us during our stay. They unfortunately booked a massive "mock wedding" photo shoot, literally on the exact 2 days we were visiting. Yikes! So our "quiet" mountain-town visit, ended up full of models, photographers, and an entire moving-team setting up countless wedding decor and staging mock dinners and bride/groom shots. The included community bicycles also had very flat tires, which made them nearly impossible to ride; and they were unable to be inflated until we no longer needed them. Regardless! Please hear me out! We absolutely LOVED our stay at Elfreide's Haus! We would most certainly stay here again! And we have told all of our friend's and family members nothing but good things about this facility! Stephanie tried her absolute best to assist us, and take care of us, as she was WELL AWARE that our quiet vacation, wasn't so quiet. Thanks Stephanie! We truly appreciate you. Hope to visit again sometime, for a better 2nd time stay! :-)"
