Chris
Staff was very responsive and the location was great. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops.
Shawn
We tried to like this place. It’s 100% only for the location of being right down town. The unit and building is very run down. Everything inside is 20years past its life span. Starts at the front door with the key pad lock that works half the time and the door jam that has been kicked in so many times they can’t hold the door shut and it doesn’t seal. Carpet is indoor outdoor and feels grease and dirty. Carry that into the bathroom with the paint coming off the wall over the tub. Not to mention the water heater that is a group heater and goes from hot to cold with no warning.
The bed springs make so much noise it’s hard to sleep. The mattress hasn’t been changed in 15 years is my guess. Terrible night sleep.
If I had to say anything good. It’s not filthy and the location is good.

In poco descuidado el lugar , está en el centro es lo único bueno
Tracy
The property was well maintained. Great communication with the staff. Located in the Village, walking to the shops was easily done. Bed was really comfortable.
Maria Cecilia
Near to everything, the place is good for the price
Robert
Close to everything in town didn’t have to move our car for anything
Lyubov
Very homey, cozy and well organized.
Peter
Property was VERY conveniently located. the Room was CLEAN and spacious. Weather outside was excessively hot and a temporary AC unit was placed in the room which worked out perfectly. The only gripe i had was the Jetted tub did not work.
Jon
Carpet was very dirty. Walking around in it barefoot gave us almost black feet. It need to be deep cleaned. Staff was very friendly and helpful though.
betty
Location is great
Anna
Excellent location! Everything we needed was in walking distance. The room was definitely older than we expected but well maintained. Staff very quick to respond and very helpful.
Zachary
These good reviews must be fake…. Pictures of this place look decent here on Expedia. But it was the exact opposite. There’s probably a reason this place doesn’t have pictures of the outside of the property. It’s very dumpy. Also everything was filthy on the inside. Build ups of grime in places, ants everywhere, walls were nasty and the shower was falling apart. Bed sheets had brown stains. The bedroom was very warm because the AC is only in the front room. Felt so gross staying there. We stayed here for only one night luckily. I know this place isn’t too expensive, but it was rated decent. But you get what you pay for; that’s for sure LOL.
Joanna
Location is great, everything is clean and response time is quick.
Jennifer
It was so close to everything. My family and I loved the room. What a great thing for the bunk bed.
Greg
Perfect for a one or two night stay in the heart of Big Bear. Perfect location. Great price! And the checkin / checkout process was simple and super convenient.
ALYSSA
Had a very pleasant stay!
Alvin
The check-in process was smooth, which only required a phone call and sending my ID over to receive the password for my room. Overall, the room was clean and comfy; however, I found the water very unclean, as the color came out to be milky.
Mary
We had a great stay! The room was in an amazing location and the room was clean and comfy. It has a fully stocked kitchen and a full size refrigerator so we definitely want to go back for a longer stay. The location and parking was a little confusing but the staff was readily available and helpful over the phone with that. It needs a couple updates but we loved our stay and will be back! We felt the beds were comfy and the location was quiet.
Martin
The place was fantastic! Very clean, spacious, and the location is amazing!
Bailey
Very cozy and cute cabin vibe to stay in Big Bear. Close to many great eats and stores. I would definitely stay here again!
Joseph
Everything was clean
Sophia
Great location! Very clean room! Great staff.
Angie
No ac but overall great!
Kyle
The bath fan didn't work so there was mold on the ceiling and not great when somebody else used the bathroom. Toilet was so small it was uncomfortable. We got pretty bad sleep because of how noisy the neighbors were and how thin the walls were. Could hear everything. Good location and good customer service brought it up to a three star.
Mary Ellen
The Good: Convenient location, spacious, nice \"Big Bear\" style wood bedframe, hot tub had plenty of hot water (but 2 of the jets point straight up, so prepare to have an unexpected shower!)
The Bad: Fireplace was broken. We weren't informed beforehand, and we should have been. The fireplace was one of the main reasons we booked the room, The property manager did not seem to feel badly at all about this and did not offer us any consolation, discount, etc. Very disappointing, definitely made us feel not appreciated or respected.
The hot tub is in the living room, where there is a large window that faces the parking lot. Instead of having curtains on that window, there's only 2 very cheap paper-like blinds, which don't close together fully. So if you plan on using the hot tub, either wear a bathing suit, or know you can easily be spied on from outside.
Also, the floor was quite dirty/sandy, the bathroom door squeaks loudly, and sometimes you have to jiggle the toilet handle for it to flush properly.

The room was dirty, felt uncomfortable sitting on anything or walking without shoes on. The door has clearly been broken into and was poorly fixed. Using the keypad lock is not ideal when the door needs to be fixed and it cannot lock properly. Also there's no extra locks or latches to lock the door.
Jason
We had a wonderful stay! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The check-in process was quick and seamless, which we really appreciated.
The only small challenge was that the the door was a bit difficult to navigate at first, but we were able to figure it out. Felt a little uneasy with it!
Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back!

Good location
Edward
The room was ok. TV didn’t work, fireplace didn’t work and parking was a mess due to unplowed snow. But the jacuzzi tub was nice, the bed was comfortable and the price was right.
Andres
Dead rat left in room before check in. Dog hairs all over hot tub, shower, bed sheets and pillows. Along with all of the discrepancies in the unit we were still denied a later check out time to accommodate our troubles.
Tony
Perfect
Jeff
The room was clean and already warm for our arrival. Checking in and out was pretty seamless as well

Mia
What Stood Out for me was The View in the window for this apartment.It was Amazing view
Michael Yong
The room is very old and dirty. They didn’t make warm when I check in, so it was like a freezer. Only heating system was in the bed room. No heater in living room. It was terrible property I have ever stayed.
Michael
Clean room, clean kitchen with all you need to cook, only problem is the TV , tV very dark gradient needs update
Karen Lyn
Great stay! The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the location was perfect. Would definitely come back!
John
Clean and well appointed. Internet and television were somewhat spotty.
Jackie
Comfy bed. Room is a bit dated with a loud fridge and inconsistent wifi service.
Alfred
The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and utensils to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location of the unit was in walking distance to any restaurant, bar or hiking trail.
Amrit
Good
Paul
The hotel was great. One street over from The Village with all the shops and restaurants. Also walking distance to a park by the lake. Thank you

The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We were in brown bear and the window looking out on the street was gorgeous for looking at the fall colors and people walking by. It’s location is ideal to walking everywhere.
Jesse
It was perfect
Jenna
My only semi issue is that I wish the fireplace would have more than 3 flames. I know it’s electric but not cozy at all.
Jocelyn
The Internet kept cutting off and the heater wasn’t working
Lyubov

Seth
Awesome
CarriLin
Incredible bargain, right in the Village! Very large and comfortable- I wish we could have stayed for a month. Just walk outside and you're surrounded by shops, restaurants, a local coffee house; even a little market right across the street.
Jose
Very convenient. Close to shops and restaurants. Clean rooms.
Ignacio
Carpet was wet all day and nite . Was not offered a new room. I was forced to stay and wear shoes though out my stay . Staff did not accommodate for inconvenience stating “you used room” and you pay for stay . Not able to peak to someone in person or phone . All communication was by email. Staff could care less !
Byron
Older place but Teddy Bear Rm 6 has separate bedroom, full kitchen, watched TV ,Fireplace in living room (while in two person spa👍).
Joe
Fun Stay
Highly recommend the village in, it’s centrally located in the village where all of the shops and restaurants are. It’s also about a 5 minute walk from the lake.
Lillian
We all loved this place. It's so much fun, and it's close to everything. Thank you!!
Zobeida
We were surprised to see how spacious , clean, and close to restaurants, shops, and the lake. We enjoy our stay and highly recommended.
Jay
The place is very very dated. For the price I paid for a night I expected better. The bathroom is the smallest I have even been in. If you are looking for some place nice, I wouldn't choose this one! For a cheap price sure but not for 200$+
April
Loved that the entrance stepped right out into the Village area. Had Pizza and icecream couple business down. Mexican and BBQ across the street. Parking was right in back of building with great lighting. We stayed in Grizzle and enjoyed our stay. We will definitely stay again. Loved that we got to walk everywhere!
Ivonne
Very good location. Staff verify helpful and friendly.
KEVIN
Great place if you want to take advantage of being right in The Village. You can walk out of the building and grab a gelato from the downstairs gelato and tea store right in the building. We ate at the surrounding restaurants, ate gelato and frozen yogurt, checked out the stores and watched a movie at the Village Cinemas. The Village Inn is dated but very clean and everything worked fine including the wifi. Had a full kitchen with full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, range, plates, silverware, pots/pans, etc. which we didn't use as we ate out. No central a/c but they have a portable inside if you need it. Portable a/c's are loud so cool down your room before you go to sleep or do what I do when traveling which is bring some earplugs. This isn't a \"front desk\" type of lodging unit but communication is excellent and timely. I received all of the information I needed via text and email. Room access is via a code that they provide when you text a copy of your ID the day of. When you check out, you just drop them a text. Convenient parking in the back of the building parking lot.
David
The shops were within walking distance from the property, we would stay there again.
Sondra
The property is in an excellent location.... right in the heart of the village! It is dated, but they have done a few things to update it like new flooring, fresh paint, new couch, nice bed. It was clean, cool, and comfortable for what we needed! We stayed in #5, Polar Bear.
Ariana
Had a great stay, would recommend :)
Mariya
everything was grate
Edgardo
Very clean, right next to all the shops and restaurants in the Village area. Kitchen was stocked with all the cooking utensils.
Janhete
Staff was super friendly and the place felt like a mini home rather than just a hotel room. Everything was clean and would definitely stay here again.
Verified traveler
Perfect for families
I love this location. Its all about covenant locations and parking when it comes to certain stays. And this one is it. Its not a 5star hotel. Its more of a rustic lodge stay. With all the things you need and some. Its clean, friendly service with prompt response
Alex
Location is a selling point. Right in the heart of the village. It’s a small property but very spacious. It a little outdated but for the size and location, it was great. Comes with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, parking. Perfect for a family with kids as there was bunk bed available. Portable ac in the living room and a fan in the main room. Your a minute or so out your door to the village.
Theresa
The check in was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. The staff was very friendly & communicated well.
Kerrie
Close to town and roomy place
Kathy
This was the perfect place for us for our mountain biking adventure. Location was excellent, walkable, and we rarely had to use our car. The layout of the building is great for minimal noise issues. Although these are older units, the rustic charm was a cool vibe and everything was in working order with no issues at all. Highly recommend!
Verified traveler
This property needs upgrades, interior and exterior.
Helen
Cute little place but pretty dated. The location can't be beat! Great value!
Sonia
Location was perfect. Dog friendly room and town. Parking was right outside room. Loved the Jacuzzi tub and the bed was sooo comfortable. Absolutely no complaints, would stay here again.
Brittany
Excellent little gem in the heart of The Village and just a short walk down the main drag to Pine Knot Marina and a cute playground for kids. The management company was very responsive and check-in and parking was easy. The unit itself hasnt been remodeled, and has original 1970's sink and wood paneling but they did a great job in keeping it clean and adding charming cabin style decor. They have every amenity including drip coffee maker, toaster, fridge, hair dryer and bathroom toiletries. I would stay here again and highly reccomend!
Kevin
Loved the place and area is fantastic
James
Great Location! Stairs were difficult for me. Quiet. Blood stain on pillow! Large suite. The lobby is gone. No manager at property—found that weird…
Jesse
Location
All I can say is wow. 30 steps and I was on the main street on the village.
Evelyn
Good recommend it
Patrick
I liked how easily accessible to all the downtown areas it was.
Rebecca
Room was very nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. Perfect location in the middle of plenty of stores and restaurants.
Maria
Convenient
Evan
Great stay and room.
Jennifer
Visited this past week. From the get go, the management company was very communicative and reached out to me several times. I was traveling with my dog they were super responsive with all the questions that I had (and for $20 the whole stay for my dog, amazing). Check in was a breeze since the management company emailed and texted me all the instructions. The unit itself was spacious with a full service kitchen (yes, fridge, stove, microwave, pots, pans, dishes, etc.), a separate bedroom and a roomy living room. The place is less than a 10 minute walk to Big Bear Lake and just steps from the main strip with all the restaurants, shops, movie theater, and bars. Eventhough the unit was so close to all the action, it was nice and quiet. Will definitely stay again.
Katrina
Great layout, a little dated, bed could use an upgrade, hot tub took 2+ hours to fill, otherwise it was good.
GABRIELA
Very nice environment. Love the area.
