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.

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!

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.
