My experience here was really well. The staff there were great and greeted me and my wife happily, even though it was late. They made sure we had everything to get settled in. Parking was good and we like that we can just walk down to the shore from the hotel. It was a really great stay.

Rooms and property are very clean. Seems like “staff parking” is larger than the guest parking so could be tricky getting a space near the actual hotel. Keep in mind walls are thin, so if you’re looking for a quiet night just know you’re at the mercy of your neighbor. Wifi was great, nice and fast, no buffering. Complementary ice water available all day, coffee in the morning and an ice machine was a great touch! Walking distance to the general store, ice cream shop and coffee shop. The lake is about a 7 minute walk, and has a nice paved path for bikes and walkers.

The super-friendly staff went way out of their way to make sure I knew how to get into my room, as I was arriving very late. Large property with many different accomodations options. I stayed in the historic Hotel, a beautifully furnished old lodge building with a big stone fireplace radiating warmth and flickering firelight. The hotel room itself was simple (who actually needs a tv or refrigerator?), but charming, perfectly clean, well-maintained, and cozy warm. (The photos of the room online don't do it justice!) Parking is right next to the Hotel buliding--very convenient!

The room was clean and comfortable and check in was friendly. I loved the lobby! There's a fireplace and it feels like a cozy ski lodge. The only downside was that it was a bit loud because all the hallways are wood, so sound echoes. The other guests were not too loud, but I could hear people coming and going.

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.
