Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent
"This place was so fun! As others have said, the rooms were a little more "dated" than the pictures might have you believe. But it's Big Bear and you're staying in a cabin, not a fancy hotel. You kind of know what you're getting into when you get a cabin in Big Bear. To our pleasant surprise, we got a downstairs cabin facing the bay. Walking outside and seeing that view every day was awesome. The fire pits and grounds in general were really well-maintained. The staff is very hands-off. When you arrive, you pick up your key from the lobby by grabbing the envelope with your name on it. There's no one there to check you in, but the envelope has all the instructions you need. We saw a man turning on and off the fire pits every night, as well as doing other things on the grounds, but he was the only one. I'm sure he wouldn't have helped if we had an issue, but we didn't have any! The bathroom was very small, but the water pressure in the shower was great! The only complaint we had was that we thought we were getting a full-size fridge in our cabin and it was 1/3 the size of that. As vegans in Big Bear, there is almost no where for us to eat and we brought everything we needed to cook--- so that fridge was as packed as we could get it. Our water and drinks had to stay warm bc they couldn't fit. Other than that, we had an amazing time with our dog. She loved sniffing around and getting to lie on the bed with us. Overall a great place and would definitely stay again."
