Great choice
This is a beautiful property with super cute cabin rooms and suites. They have a heated pool, hot tub, and basketball court. Parking is free. There's breakfast of bagels, muffins and breads in the check in building. We just stayed one night and it was perfect for us.

We rented a cute little cabin for a 2 night getaway. The cabin was comfy and had a hot tub. The location of the cabins is great and very central to the village area.

Good stay
The hotel room was next to the major blvd so it has road noise at most hours, which is the major downside and I used earplugs just to sleep well. I would stay again. The hotel is in middle of city and close to all the major spots including downtown and walkable to the wetlands on the east side.

Great time at the Black Forest Lodge!
Check in was quick, the rooms are perfectly what you would expect in a mountain town, clean, great views, everything is walking distance. This is right by the village and there was so much to do, so many shops, places to eat, places to drink, tattoo shops, we did it all.

Nice accommodations
The room was spacious and welcoming. We ended up right on Big bear Boulevard so there was a little traffic noise and car lights until late in the evening, but would definitely stay there again if not in the building on the main street. Parking was very convenient and they had several dog friendly areas.

Cute cabin
This was a great place, and the staff were super helpful and friendly. We had planned on going out to dinner, but saw the Weber, and decided to grill instead. Our cabin had a jacuzzi in the room which was fun!

Good stay
The staff was really great they make you feel welcome and always helpful. One thing tho is the room we stay at didn’t have AC so it got pretty hot during the day and during the night we were provided a small fan but didn’t help much, hopefully they change that but overall it was great close to many good diners and places to visit

Weekend getaway
The property has a lot of history and the ambiance was great. The room could have been aired out a bit, was stuffy and had an awkward smell upon entering, but once we opened windows and turned on fans, the smell went away. The room was comfortable and good size for 2 people.
