8/10 Good
"We had a nice stay at Lagonita Lodge for one night. The property is a little older, but it’s well maintained and has a cozy mountain charm with rustic furnishings that fit the Big Bear setting perfectly. The lakefront location is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake. The sleeper sofas could use new mattresses, and the bathrooms could benefit from some updating, but overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would stay here again."
