Everything was clean. Bed is a little squeaky. On the information, there will be available spices in the kitchen. But there’s no salt, only pepper. Other than that, everything is good! ##### Roxanne Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Joshua G 16 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is great and centrally located near everything Big Bear has to offer. That said, the property felt under-equipped and poorly maintained. The kitchen item were as cheap as cheap could be and lacked. Several things were broken, such as the toilet seat and blinds. The hot water in the shower was not adequate. Towels, toiletries, were as cheap as kitchen. The bedding, and the bed were not comfortable. This place did not meet the cost. I actually chose to leave before my second night rather then have a poor sleep. The hot tube was very old both the jets and water temperature were weak. Overall, good location, but the comfort and upkeep did not meet expectations. ##### Joshua G Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dawn 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication The cabin was clean and well supplied. ##### Dawn Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > - [Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Corque.h67460.Hotel-Information) > - [The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Viv-Hotel.h50907370.Hotel-Information) > - [Lemon Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Inn.h966170.Hotel-Information) > - [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > - [CCBC Resort Hotel - A Gay Men's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-CCBC-Resort-Hotel-A-Gay-Mens-Resort.h1654482.Hotel-Information) > - [Bide-A-Wee Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Bide-A-Wee-Inn.h3520260.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sofia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Sofia-Hotel.h1573807.Hotel-Information) > - [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > - [Magic Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Magic-Castle-Hotel.h27297.Hotel-Information) > - [The Prospect Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Whitley-Hollywood.h42644328.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguna-Beach-Hotels-Inn-At-Laguna-Beach.h7446.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pierside Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Pierside-Santa-Monica.h2094.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hoxton Downtown LA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-THE-Hoxton-Downtown-LA.h36712437.Hotel-Information) > - [Basecamp South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Basecamp-South-Lake-Tahoe.h1086847.Hotel-Information) > - [Premier Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakland-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Suites.h98374288.Hotel-Information) > - [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > - [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > - [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > - [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > - [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > - [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > - [Le Petit Pali Brentwood West Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Le-Petit-Pali-Brentwood.h893085.Hotel-Information) > - [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > - [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) ---
