It was a pretty decent experience for our first time and for a quick getaway for the holiday. Actually, it was great for the price last minute booking. Near lots of great restaurant options. Hot water worked well with great water pressure. Overall, great experience!

Small and safe place to stay. The place is not fancy but the room was clean, bed comfortable and good size for one night as a couple. Has a nice place outside to have some time in nature. Quiet place to relax. I would come back if you need something affordable just to sleep in after long walks runs and be around the city.

Great place for families with spacious family suites available. Our kids loved the little playground and grassy area and we appreciated the quiet, beautiful area and the nearby walking path.

Covers the basics well
Last minute booking, and I wasn't expecting anything grand, but I liked the place. Quiet, clean, and the bed was comfortable. I'm a pretty simple guy, so it worked well for my needs. The price was excellent, and for people that don't plan to spend a lot of time in their room, this would be the one to choose. It's Big Bear, who hangs inside?

Affordable and convenient
Perfect for a last minute over night stay. Reasonable price. Clearly NOT a non smoking room. Clean towels and sheets.

We had no pets. The suite was tight for 4 people, with the sofa bed uncomfortable and limited access to the bathroom for those sleeping there. Many appliances were nonfunctional because of a non-working plug at the coffee/microwave station. Even with a working plug, the toaster did not work. THe toilet seat was stiff to manipulate. That said the other bed was comfortable, the heat was excellent as was the working fireplace and TV, and it was a great value for our family.

It was such a cute place to stay and very clean. It had everything I needed...microwave, large TV, large refrigerator, and a lot of little special items... such as very nice shampoos, lotions, and treats like popcorn, coffee and cocoa. I would definitely book it the next time.

Most affordable
Goldmine Lodge was the most affordable hotel we could find in Big Bear when we were booking a last-minute weekend trip. Not super fancy, but the bed was very comfortable. The only minor complaint is that the toilet and sink were very low

Spacious 2-room with kitchenette, fireplace and huge TV. Very quiet, sets back from highway, with walking trail behind location. Picnic area & BBQs on site. Just a mile from zoo and great Moonridge coffee shop. Supermarkets & restaurants within a mile. A wonderful find.

Goldmine is clean, rustic, and charming. Check-in was quick and easy. Room and bathroom were clean, water was hot and plentiful, fridge and microwave functioned properly, TV and internet were fast and glitch-free. The surrounding area was quiet and shopping dining was within walking distance. I recommend.

Overall, it's a great value. It's on the city shuttle route and is walkable to Browne Lane parking for the snow summit. Everything is spotless (only the shower curtain needed to be washed). My only issues were that the mattress was too soft for me, and I could hear people talking in other rooms—which was not an issue after 10 p.m. Parking is almost in front of your room - excellent - and could use gravel, so one is not stepping in mud. The lodge has an oversized lot and benches for enjoying the outside. I would stay again if I could get a room with a firm mattress and only one adjoining room.

Its a cute, quiet place with a little grassy area in front. Playground needs an update and so do the rooms. Showers have hot water. Has somewhat of a cabin feel. Cute lights hanging across ourside. Front desk lady or the guy inside didnt greet me, she was rude and wasnt paying attention to what i was saying. I had to go to a diffrent hotel to chrck in and no one was at the gold mine hotel for me to check out.
