** Bear Suites Village Inn Rules **
Welcome to the rules for Bear Suites Village Inn - Polar Bear Suite. Our aim is to maintain a harmonious environment that aligns with local Code Compliance and respects the comfort of all guests. As part of this effort, we've established some friendly but firm and inflexible house guidelines.
1. Maximum Occupancy: 2 guests (2 adults max).
2. Parking: Space for 1 vehicle. Exceeding the limit may result in fines of up to $1,000.
3. Pets: Pets Allowed (Max: 2 pets). - Pets require pre-approval: Post-approval, a $20 fee per pet applies (charged post-booking). - Unapproved Pets: incur a minimum of a $1,000 fine. - Pet Guidelines: ** Kennel pets when unattended. ** Keep off furniture/beds. ** Clean up after them. ** Charges apply for pet damages. *** Coyote Warning: *** Coyotes are extremely prevalent in Big Bear, even in the most densely populated areas. If you see one, you can bet they're part of an unseen pack. These animals are bold and territorial. They pose a significant threat to pets. For their safety, never leave your pets unattended, even in fenced areas, especially after dark. Coyotes are known for their ability to overcome barriers, including high fences. And they're even known for attacking pets that are on a leash. We cannot overstate the need for heightened vigilance concerning your pets' safety.
4. Check-In: ID verification is required for check-in.
5. Noise: Quiet hours from 9 pm to 8 am. You are not allowed to be outside, in a hot tub, play music or create any noise from inside of the residence that could be heard outside of the home. If these rules are violated, Code Enforcement could impose fines of up to $1,000 or eviction. (We have no control over Code Enforcement's decisions.)
6. Air Conditioning: NO Central AC. This room has a portable AC unit
7. Ants: Sometimes our ants can be a bit over-friendly. To keep these small visitors at bay, we suggest promptly cleaning up right after each meal and don't leave food out. (We do use ant bait & ant traps… and the ants tend to look at those as snacks.)
8. Trash: You are mandated by ordinance to dispose of your trash at the designated trash site. If you require assistance, we can arrange a pick-up service for a nominal fee.
9. Video Surveillance & Noise Monitors: We employ external video surveillance and noise monitors at most of our properties. (We do not have video or audio monitoring inside of the residences.)
10. No Smoking/Vaping: We have a very strict No Smoking and/ or No Vaping policy on the grounds of all of our properties. * If any guest smokes or vapes on the premises during their stay, a minimum cleaning fee of $750 will be charged automatically to the Credit Card on file to cover the cost of carpets cleaning, dry cleaning of all bedspreads, curtains, etc. And the security deposit will be forfeited.
11. Age: Minimum booking age is 18.
12. Parties: No parties allowed; parties will result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of the security deposit. Additional cleaning fees may apply.

This was an excellent choice for our Big Bear stay! Centrally located in “The Village” with all the buzz of the businesses, but without the bother of being right on the busy street. It’s a very short walk from a park with lake shore access. The accommodations itself is a great intersection of everything you want new (linens, applicants, floor, paint) while being rustic and cute, like the quality log cabin bed, and just the right amount of kitschy decor that adds and doesn’t take away from the clean feel of the unit. The staff were also friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again for our next trip to Big Bear!

Great location smack dab in the middle of the village.
Bed is firm, so if you like that, this is perfect.
Could use some updated furniture in living room and dining room.
Other than that good stay. We would definitely stay again.

It was my first time at Big Bear Lake, and I’m really glad my partner and I stayed here! Walkable distance to all the shops and restaurants. Not much nightlife around, but you don’t really need it when you have a jacuzzi to go home to!! That was our favorite part of our stay. We stayed outdoors a majority of the time, and it was nice to soak in the tub after a long day out. Thank you SoCal Vacations!

Very nice and quiet. Ground floor in case you have trouble with stairs. Really, the only thing I’d change: the couch was a futon. You probably know what that means - it was so hard and painful I couldn’t sit on it for more than a few minutes. My tailbone is still sore!

I enjoyed my stay and I’d stay again but it wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked. I was worried when I didn’t have the check in information the day of but finally got it. They wouldn’t give me the keypad code and said I needed to come into the office. Then they said that nobody would be at the office when I got there and that I needed to text them my drivers license. Of course I was driving there at the time but I pulled over and did sent it. Then they gave me the code. They said I needed to come back to the office when they returned to sign docs which I did, on foot, but no one was there. It’s a great place to walk around to everything. When they returned they asked me to come back I explained that I was on foot and they said it was fine but I had to get back there before 8 PM so I had to cut my dinner plans short. So that part of it was a bit of a hassle. But the people were very kind.It’s a beautiful place but I was disappointed that the fireplace wasn’t working and you could tell that somebody had attempted to turn it on. They had the TV on when I walked in playing relaxing music to videos of snow which was nice. I wish they would have fixed the fire place before I got there. I didn’t realize it until I was just about to get into the hot tub so I wasn’t about to call maintenance person over at that time. Regarding the hot tub. Next time I would stay upstairs because the blinds have gaps large enough to see through the windows so that was uncomfortable.
