Me and my boyfriend loved this spot! we felt really safe and loved the location. Room and bathroom was clean and so was the outside property only thing i would complain about is the fact there's a empty pool just teasing you but other than that it was great.

PASSIVE AGRESSIVE MANAGER

Horrible. Manager passively aggressively texts you at all times of morning saying the maids can't handle cleaning up a little glitter. Honey, you're a maid, you clean up kid vomit and all sorts of nasty stains on beds and you're complaining to the manager who somehow has the audacity to complain to me about a little glitter? Do your freaking job and don't whine about it like a little girl. Manager is also never in office (I checked, many times) and texts you 15 times when you arrive to get your check in time to the minute because he doesn't want to hire help (too cheap) and wants to know the exact 5 minutes he'll have to be at the front desk. Bugs in room, scorpions and cockroaches. Disgusting, dated hotel. Not dated in the cute, vintage way. Manager will try to be nice and go out of your way at first if you act nice but it's all a ruse, none of it is sincere, and he wants nothing more to see you gone and never see you again. Noise is a problem too, all you hear is the main road, it's right off it, good luck getting any peace or sleep. Terrible beds. Worst motel I've stayed at in years and I travel frequently- you'll find many in third world countries that are nicer. Literally save yourself and book ANYWHERE else.

We have stayed at many places in big bear. The particular cabin we stayed at was very nice. It would be awesome if the pool was usable but we will be back for sure.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The room was a bit outdated and needed some maintenance. The bed wasn't too comfortable, and I found ants crawling on me while I was lying in bed. But overall, the stay was fine.

The cabin was nice. You get what you pay for. It could have been a bit more clean (found some trash under the beds, some silverware not clean). But overall we were comfortable. They did try to accommodate us for an early check in which was nice. The hot tub was nice and clean also.
