Top North Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This place is awesome! I been there several times. Plenty of parking, specially if your towing a boat to trailer."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Noon Lodge. The property is beautiful and has such a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. The rooms and grounds were immaculate, and you can tell how much care goes into maintaining everything. The property manager was amazing, so friendly, helpful, and genuinely made the experience even better. We also loved the little touches throughout the property, from the music playing around the grounds to the fire pits that created the perfect ambiance in the evening. Having a canoe available on site was such a fun bonus and made the stay feel even more special. Noon Lodge has a great mix of comfort, charm, and outdoor atmosphere. You won’t find a better bang for your buck in Big Bear Lake. We would absolutely stay here again!"

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Es el mejor lugar para quedarte en familia está todo cerca y tienen todo lo que necesitas para unas hermosas vacaciones"

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 4th stay here at the Burgundy. My husband and I love this place everytime we stay here. The pool and the tub were remodeled and lookin’ really really nice! The most important thing for us was the EXCELLENT customer service. When we booked the room and checked in, once again our favorite front desk person JORDAN met our needs. He made sure the fireplace was ready to be used and anything that we need he made sure we were happy! We can’t wait to go back the Big Bear again and stay at this hotel! Thank you Jordan for the amazing hospitality!"

Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place We will come back"

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying here with my partner and it was so beautiful. I was not expecting the hotel being right next to the water, such a fantastic view with a fire pit! Definitely will be coming back here again."

BREATHTAKING LAKE VIEWS - HUGE GREAT ROOM & GAME ROOM, DUAL FIREPLACES, PACMAN!

8/10 Good

"Communication prior to arrival was excellent; there was no need to contact the host during our four day stay. The house is very spacious and the view of the lake from the balcony is picturesque. I especially appreciated the fully enclosed yard for my dog. The furniture is in good shape and the room air conditioner a huge plus. There were plenty of towels. We were not keen on the bunk room due to the low ceiling, would have preferred side by side twin/full beds. The kitchen had just about every appliance you can image. I was happy there is a rice cooker. I was, however, quite disappointed in the kitchen. Let’s just say it needs a deep clean and some new cook/bakeware. IMO the house cleanliness was average and I can accept that unless more has been promised as stated on VRBO as ”VERY HIGH CLEANING STANDARDS.”"

Eagle Point Lake House at Big Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This home was perfect for our family vacation. You can’t beat the location and lake access. The home was spacious and very homey. It lacked a few kitchen items and was slightly dated but overall very happy with it and communication with the host was good. Would definitely stay here again!"
