Best place to stay in the village!

Right by the welcome sign with a lake view and one parking spot. Charging station for EV was a short walk away. Was able to walk everywhere we wanted to eat in the village. Place was large yet cozy for our two dogs. Loved the framed puzzle pieces as decor, fireplace, and daybed. Would definitely come back!

Brown Bear

The Brown Bear unit was in a perfect location overlooking the main street! Could walk anywhere since you're right at the beginning of the downtown. Felt like a mini apartment. The upper unit didn't have a hot tub, my understanding is that the lower units do...and the only downside to the unit was that the bed was extremely squeaky. Other than that, great spot for the price!

This Suite is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming home away from home. The interior of the Suite was warm and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend due to the location.

Just a getaway stay

This place and its location was more than amazing. Super dog friendly and I will be coming back here! Rental was cooled down before we got in, don’t let the no AC unit scare you. There’s a portable AC that works well! Check in was easy and convenient!

Pretty good

My only issue was it was just me so I chose to sleep on the twin bed in the main room…I couldn’t get one of the blinds to shut so I had Christmas lights on me all night. Other than that great place for dog and being in the village.

This property is located in “The Village” which has everything you could possibly need, shopping, dining, and entertainment. The property itself was clean and suitable for myself and my friend. I was very happy that there were no heavy fragrances, like plug-ins. Also happy that their cleaning people use supplies that don’t linger. I also think we had one of the best units because it has two big windows that overlook the main street. The only thing about that was the commotion outside Saturday evening, but that is to be expected. It quieted down after 10 PM. I would definitely stay here again, thank you for the wonderful accommodations. Diane

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I am sorry to say that we were very disappointed.To begin, there is only stairs and quite a few of them. We stayed in room 1.There was a strong smell in our room that wasn't very pleasant. We had to use an essence. The room was very hot.The portable cooling unit in our bedroom was very small and not very helpful. We couldn't open the window because there was no screen. We were willing to deal with all that. Then came the time to sleep. There was 4 of us so 2 people were gonna sleep in the living room. The problem was the lights wouldn't turn off. I made contact with the hotel and they basically said there was nothing they could do until next day. The only "solution" they gave me was to turn off the breaker for the living room. Told them that wasn't an option because it also turned off the fridge, the AC and all the outlets. Told them they could moved us to another room or just give us a refund and we would go to another hotel. No problem. They still had the bad sense to ask, "because the lights don't work?" I responded with "I don't know how you sleep but we sleep with the lights off." We grabbed our stuff and we went to another hotel. We did get a refund but the experience was not very good. We will definitely not be staying or recommending this place.

This spot is in the perfect location in the village. It was a great open space with almost everything you need. Check in was easy and the staff messaged us to make sure we got in ok. The only negative might be the a bit of noise from the nearby bars but Big Bear shut down pretty early and it wasn’t loud enough to keep us awake. I would definitely stay here again.
