Big Bear Lake Inns

The check in was smooth, although there was only one representative for the front desk so she had to juggle us and the phones but she was very friendly and welcoming, she gave us a great recommendation for eating which was Oakside, the room was clean, we stayed for 3 nights and the amenities were provided as needed without any issues. It was a great stay and we look forward to staying here again!

I’ve been visiting Big Bear for many years but have always rented houses with friends. When my husband and I decided to go up just the two of us, we took a chance on booking a hotel room for the first time. We expected the accommodations to be somewhat older because much of Big Bear is that way, but our room exceeded our expectations. Our Standard King room with fireplace was spacious, extremely clean, well equipped (microwave, mini fridge, silverware, coffee maker and mugs), and all for a reasonable price. We will be coming here any time we need just a room instead of renting a house.

Small hotel 5 minutes walking to the village, right across the bowling Barn, walking distance to the village, a little noisy from the cars on the road but nothing big deal(no that many cars at night time anyways) Room#110: Large cozy room with refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, heater toilet seat, nice size T.V. The front desk has some coffee, tea, granola bars, pancakes maker(no mix), toaster(no bread), massage sofa, small pool table, fireplace, some utensils. For the price, I think is a great place to stay, great location with walking distance to the shops. It is big bear where most of the places are super small and expensive. I will definitely come back. Remember is Big Bear where you go to enjoy the snow, the village or the lake not to stay in your room.

We spent one night in a lake front room. We had pretty low expectations because so many people wrote horrible reviews, but it was a clean room, looked the same as the pictures. Having a fireplace was awesome. The fridge was great to have. Our balcony looked at the lake and it snowed overnight and it was such a delight to wake up to snow on the balcony. Bathroom was a-ok, except the tub seemed to have stains on it, it should probably be repainted and the shower water pressure was really poor, so the filters probably need to be changed. Beds were comfortable, pillows were fine. The front office was really nice. The coffee and breakfast was fine, pre-packaged pastries, cereal, coffee, OJ, milk, could use more protein so children don't lose their minds after breakfast. Parking was easy. Because of the snow and ice the walkways were pretty slippery, I would recommend for safety that they clear and salt everything so no one risks falling. Overall a really great stay with fine accommodations and a couple of things they could do to improve the overall experience. Thanks!

We arrived on Friday afternoon. The place was beautiful and nostalgic. We checked in and the room was nice... we left and returned that evening to find out that we had no heat. I asked why the Forster heating wasn’t working because it was 41degrees, All I git was a blanket and a floor heater. The maintenance guy stated”Itsnot just a switch I can turn on and I don’t know what to do. My wife had major surgery years ago and her spleen was taken. Therefore she gets cold easy. So we cuddled up and for the next few hours, there were people upstairs running back and forth shaking the entire floor. I called the front desk many times up to 3am to get these people to stop with no avail.. We stayed one night and with no sleep, I was so frustrated that when we checked out, I wanted to be compensated for my room. I was told that they couldn’t do anything because I booked the room through you guys.. Amazing

Good! I like it!

It was friendly. Staff was great. Loved how clean room where. Very attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

I happily discovered the Session Retreat Hotel based on a friend’s recommendation for a unique and stylish stay in Big Bear. The exterior was charming, but upon entering the room and communal spaces, the decor and style were beyond expectations – a blend of retro and space-age, reminiscent of a captivating museum. The proximity to the ski resort and downtown village made it convenient for play, dining and nightlife. We were thrilled to explore the innovative concept of the new Bar, the Flatlander on the property. This boutique property impressed us at every turn, and we felt like we had uncovered a hidden gem before it becomes the next big thing.
