Check in/out was easy and the staff very friendly and responsive. Room is very spacious and clean. The hotel is at a great location , walking distance from nice restaurants and stores. Everything was great, the only thing it could be update is the cookware/ pans, other than that we loved it and we’ll definitely come back.

Not friendly, didn't try to help. As a snowboarder that is always in big bear, the customer service was zero here. Extremely disappointed with Expedia and this property on not being able to help a loyal customer.

We booked the Brown Bear room at SoCal Vacations. It’s right in the Main Street of Big Bear Village. It had everything we needed for our family of 4, plus doodle pup. We were able to cook in. Communication was stellar. Would definitely book again for winter or summer.

Definitely five stars!!! From checking in they had the fireplace and music going. The location is right at the village. Great communication through text and very clean place. Highly recommend getting the room with the spa in the living room. Thank you for making my birthday getaway amazing!
