"We loved the cabin we stayed in. The attention to detail was great and design was so charming. We used the BBQ to grill one night, we took the bikes out and rode to the village one morning, and our kids loved the hammock. We will be back to stay in the 4 bedroom next time!"
"The whole experience from the cabin to the outdoors everything was excellent. The cabin was great had everything u could need.. very peaceful.. Definitely will go again! "
"Apples Bed and Breakfast makes you feel like you are at home. The rooms are very large with comfortable beds. They have an amazing home cooked sit-down breakfast which is delicious . I would definitely go back. "

Big Bear Frontier
10/10 Excellent
"5 Stars – Great Dog-Friendly Stay at Big Bear Frontier!
I had such a great stay at Big Bear Frontier! One of the biggest highlights for me was how dog-friendly the property was. From the moment we arrived, everything felt convenient and well thought out for pet owners. The cabin’s location was perfect — close to everything, including the marina — and the interior exceeded expectations. The hardwood floors were a nice touch, and everything inside felt new and clean. The kitchen was actually better than I anticipated, fully stocked and easy to use.
If I had to mention a few areas for improvement, I’d suggest adding a dog wash area — it would be such a helpful perk, especially after outdoor adventures. Also, the showerhead in our unit had very low pressure, which made showers a bit underwhelming. Another minor issue was the doggie trash area near the barbecue and play zone — it was overflowing and had an unpleasant smell, so regular maintenance there would be appreciated.
Despite those small things, the overall experience was excellent. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and welcoming. I did find it a bit tricky walking into town since sidewalks were pretty much nonexistent and cars can zoom by — something to be mindful of if you’re walking your dog. But the convenience of the location, especially how close it was to the marina, really made up for it.
I would absolutely come back and stay here again. A solid, relaxing getaway in a beautiful and dog-friendly environment!"
