Lagonita Lodge
Although it was only hubby and I, this property is very family focused with great amenities to suite all members of your family. Staff are very friendly. Our apartment had amazing views of the lake, a romantic fire place and a very well stocked kitchen. Property is a little dated but for the price ...

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort
Great view of the mountains and some lake view. Nice to sit out on the deck and enjoy the view and sunshine. Cozy gas fireplace inside if it’s chilly outside. We are from the Coachella Valley desert so the cool air feels great to us.

Big Bear Frontier
They were re-doing one side of where the cabins were. We were on the otherside that had been re-done with up to date items like fire pits, corn hole game and walking area with very nice light up fences. Over all the new cabins were very nice and up to date.
