Expedia stated that there was a pool table and arcade and that wasn’t accurate. It also stated that there was an onsite beach which was also inaccurate.

We liked it. First time to Big Bear and we already want to go back. The room was a simple two queen bed room, but meet our needs for just a one night stay. We used the basketball court and would've used the hot tub if we had more time. My kids commented that the pool and hot tub looked clean. We also liked how the property was in walking distance to The Village, where we enjoyed a waffle cone and browsing the shops.

Everything went well except that the pool was out of service and my daughter was looking forward to swimming. and I had requested a room on the first floor since I have been experiencing sciatica pain . And I was given a room on the second floor .

The property was nice and quiet. We stayed in one of their rooms not a cabin… if you’re a light sleeper don’t stay there the walls were very thin & you can hear your neighbors. It didn’t bother us.
The room was surface cleaned, but the floors needed a good mop. It was basically a cleaner extension of outside. My daughters feet was really dirty after walking bare foot in the room.
I would still recommend.

Overall had an great stay. Staff was very friendly but seems a little confused. There was a mix up on my reservation and when checking out staff didn't seem to know the process. Premium cabin I reserved was supposed to have partail lake view. I was given a regular cabin then told to go back to the front desk because of mix up. Ended up with a Premium cabin walking distance to lake. Cabin did not have drawers, dressers or closet. Somewhat inconvenient. But Overall love the area. Great weekend get away.
