Holiday Inn Resort The Lodge At Big Bear Lake by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice place for a retreat"

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we would definitely come back here again. First impressions were really good get your own lodge. He had great fireplaces throughout the property and you didn’t have to light them yourselves because this staff would light them up for you really really nice one thing though that I did have to mention was when we went to use a cup in the kitchen, there was a fingerprint on the cup that I went to reach for so that kind of threw me off a little bit but other than that, we would definitely come back here"

Fireside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff is so nice. We were going to check in late and the day before our reservations, we called them to let them know and he said not to worry. When we called and said we’re an hour an away, the gentleman at the desk said no worries I will be here! When we got there he was there checked us in and was super nice. Later the next day the breaker went out because I had the heater on while blow drying my hair and the hotel staff fixed everything in about 10 min! Our room had a stove and some of the rooms are suites! Loved it here and already planning a family vacation for one of the suites in a few months! Yes this place is dates, but it’s charming, clean and has a great staff! Definitely coming here again in a few months!"
