Top North Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Robinhood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room and clean and staff very helpful"

Holiday Inn Resort The Lodge At Big Bear Lake by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the check-in staff was good. Checking out was challenging as the person was on a break. Upon arrival the parking was horrible because there was a car show on the premises."

N+P Boutique Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved Otto’s chalet! Every detail! The bed was so comfy and all the little extras were truly appreciated. Super clean! Easy check in! Will definitely book again!"

Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and affordable. Great location next to the lake"

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room is quite spacious and comfortable with a great view of the lake. The bathroom was very clean and the bed comfortable. My wife especially liked that they still use real keys. They also do not provide daily service, which for us, is a plus. However, they are ready to provide you with anything you need. The property was clean with a grassy area next to the parking lot. There are bistro tables and chairs throuout where you can enjoy the fresh air and a cup of tea, or coffee, with plenty of trees to provide shade. There is a a restaurant on either end of the property which is very convenient. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We plan to visit here again soon."

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

8/10 Good

"The facility is beautiful. The condo had everything for a comfortable stay. Negatives were there was no extra toilet paper & Kleenex. No safety bars in the shower. The locks on the doors accidentally lock which could be a problem. The garage was a disaster. We had to go down to the office or call the office because the garage codes and clickers didn’t work. The light in the master BR stopped working so we had a light on all night. They did repair it the next day. I felt we should have a reduction in our payment for all the time we had to spend with the issues. All in all we loved the facility. So convenient to the Village. ."

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly, cute outside areas, wonderful!"

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a new renovation which is still in progress; it will only get better! The owner was on site during our stay and could not have been more accommodating. You can tell that "pet friendly" was part of the thinking during the renovation. In fact, there was no charge to bring our golden retriever. The room is laid out very simply with a minimal amount of fabric in the furnishings. When you walked into the room it smelled like red cedar. Location is excellent with only a very short walk to town. All systems are modern and worked very efficiently."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"The cabin is perfectly set off from the lake and in good walking distance to the Village and boat rentals. Kitchen is fulling stocked with dishes, pots, pans and coffee pot etc... Little table for two set cutely up.... Beds were nice with gel mattress, and bedding with pillows new and clean.. Bathroom clean... Shower/Tub looked like maybe someone replaced the shower head and did clean up after replacement... could have been rinsed down.... We will defiantly be staying again :-) possibly renting more than one cabin for a family trip."
