Big Bear Lake Cheap Hotels

This hotel is a little Hidden Gem. If you get a Lakeview balcony you are in for a treat. The balconies look directly out and on to the private Little Beach area and boat dock directly behind the hotel it is Lakefront property. If you get a garden View you can watch the birds and the squirrels interact throughout the trees and garden area. There are fireplaces in the room, ping pong table, chairs on the out side deck patios and grills and tables on the private Beach area. The staff at the front office was absolutely charming and so very helpful! There is a very simple grab and go breakfast in the morning in the office which consists of coffee, granola bars, oatmeal, apples and things of that nature that you can just literally grab stick in your pocket or start munching on as you head out to the lake or back to your room. There are fireplaces in the room but we did not turn hours on since we visited in September and it wasn't quite that chilly. Dogs are welcomed for a fee unless they are a service animal in which case they are no cost. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice, especially having the option to have the heat turned on in the bathroom. That will be especially nice in the snowy months. The water pressure was a little bit low but that is just being nitpicky. Overall I would recommend this hotel and I would stay there again.

Returning visitors. Can’t beat the location. All rooms facing the lake is also a big plus. Great staff and excellent amenities, including a huge deck connecting restaurant to bar and lounging area with stunning views on the lake, a pool that is very well maintained, hot tub, sauna, ice bath and even bike rentals. Across the street is the entrance to the village. A gem of a place in Big Bear. Let’s all keep this resort as pristine as they’ve made it.

I was very pleased on our stay at the Big Bear Frontier. We stayed in the “motel” side and though the walls were thin, the view was great. I loved the fire pit area, very well maintained. You can tell that the renovations to the place are thoughtful and caring. I would love to check out the cabins on my next visit. The room was very clean. Loved the air conditioning and the “fireplace” under the TV. Just two notes, pillows could be better, ended up getting some at Marshalls and a few more towels would have been good. On a side note, for some food and beverages, The Bear Trap is a quick walk and has excellent ambiance and a fun group that works there. We loved it so much, we went twice!
