It was a very cute hotel. Cozy and quiet. Not great if you’re bringing a family. Also, no tv, or microwave. Very basic.

A good surprise!

We loved this space, it is definitely more camp vibes than a hotel, which kind of surprised us but as long as you dont mind that, it is a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay here again! Their hot water is quick and lasts a long time so no worries about that if thats you least favorite part of camping like me :) it was just far enough from town and an easy, quick walk to the lake!

Cabin like feel in a hotel. No tv in rooms which was refreshing. You can hear people walking around and showers starting up from other rooms but the building is 100 years old so that’s to be expected. Bed was comfortable and rooms were warm. We loved it and got what we were looking for. Everyone was so kind and the beautiful fireplace in the lobby is a great feature onsite to sit around. Free WiFi and not too far from the lake. We will definitely stay here again.

The hotel is literally next to the main road and vehicles travel through 24/7. There is also no AC, it's better to sleep outside than in that hot hotel!

We had a room down by the beach. We stayed from Friday - Monday. There was live music in the afternoons on Friday-Sunday. You are right next to the beach and as such, we had a lot of traffic to/from the beach. It was very quiet overnight, but traffic started to the beach as soon as the sun came up. The room was OK. Bedding was clean, but the floors were very dirty. Like keep your shoes on dirty…. Check-in was great. Front desk was professional and helpful. If you want a room RIGHT ON THE BEACH, with with live music during the day, this is a good option. If you want clean floors and room amenities,

Probably the best part of the stay was the friendly staff and the Big Bear breakfast burritos. I stayed at the Beachside Inn which was nice since I had easy access to the long dock, which allowed me to get on the water without being in the water. Staying right on the lakeshore provided amazing photo opportunities in the early morning.

I cancelled the reservation 2 months in advance. They did not give a complete refund, only 1/2. Any other facility gives full refund with that much notice. This is not good!

The area is beautiful and provides easy access to the lake and mountain activities. The issue is with the facility itself. Four night stay with only one of those providing hot water. Cold showers aren’t the end of the world but I expected more. The hotel has no a/c services so you hope having wide open windows would bring in some cool air. Unfortunately, the room would get really hot during the day and didn’t really cool down until after 10 pm each night. Perhaps the idea was hot rooms and cold showers would balance each other out. If that’s not your idea of a good time then definitely look elsewhere.
