Getaways at Lagonita Lodge

8/10 Good

"Comfortble condo unit, older decor but nice view s of lake."

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was awesome, the bar had amazing entertainment and Amy was wonderful. The owner was onsight and was so generous with their time to explain the fun art, the history behind the hotel, unique marble, Murano glass chandeliers and beautiful curated furniture pieces in the common area and ballroom. I will return again soon!"

Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for a few days with my girlfriend the room was great pretty much a small 1 bedroom apartment. The location was convenient within 5-10 minutes from everything you want to visit in big bear. The room was right on the lake the view was great every morning. It was quiet for the most part but we came during the slower season so wasn’t very many people in town to begin with."

Robinhood Resort

8/10 Good

"Location is right where we wanted to be. Everything (the village, the marina, restaurants, cute lakeside park across the street) is just a short walk away. The king "spa" room we had was in the Sherwood Forest building on the 2nd floor. There is a lake view from the balcony plus tables and chairs. This place was relatively quiet while we were there, but it was mid week, off season, no snow, and there were only a few other guests. We did not have "paper thin" walls in this building, but we did hear cars/trucks on Big Bear Blvd. though traffic died down a lot between 11 and 7 so then it was quiet. Furnishings and shower area are older, carpet needs cleaning, shower is weak, but hot. Gas fireplace and old Big Bear photos added ambiance. Two person jetted tub was really nice. Restaurant and bar area will not be open for dinner until December (2026). 4 out of 5 stars mainly for location, jetted tub, comfortable bed and couch."
