While the hotel has great potential with a nice location and clean rooms, my stay was marred by a few issues. The presence of pets caused significant discomfort for my family, especially those with allergies. The staff was helpful, but the initial experience with check-in could use improvements. Overall, it's unfortunate as it could be a fantastic place.

The Lodge at Big Bear Lake offers a comfortable stay, especially for those looking for a cozy getaway with access to local attractions. While the location and ambiance are wonderful, the service could use some improvement, as staff appeared a bit overwhelmed during our visit. The amenities are nice, but some rooms might not meet all expectations in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. It's a decent value but may not feel like the top-tier resort experience it aims to provide.

I had a lovely time at The Lodge at Big Bear Lake. The location is perfect, just a few blocks from the lake and close to the village's shops and restaurants. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help. However, some noise from adjacent rooms was a downside. The food options could definitely be better considering the price. Overall, it's a great spot for families.

The on-site restaurant had a decent menu, but the prices felt a bit high for what you get. The breakfast buffet, while offering an omelet chef, wasn't included in the room rate, which was a letdown.

The Lodge has a nice outdoor pool area and hot tub, but it's located near the parking lot which can get a bit loud at times. There are fun activities like live music that add to the experience.
