We could hear every single word and step from our neighbors above us - they were up til 4am - no exaggeration, seemingly dancing? The site was also under big renovation and looked nothing like the pictures. Very upset to have spent $500 for 2 days for a romantic getaway. It was anything but. We slept terribly both nights bc of the neighbors and couldn't enjoy property amenities or views. The door key also stopped working on the second day. The front desk woman was very sweet though. Otherwise, big bummer.

Overall great location to the village. Big beat lake is just right behind the place we stayed in. Unfortunately there was construction around the property but they are just making the place look better. Room was big. Not sure if we got a bad bed or box spring. Every th time we would lay down, it seemed as our heads were lower than our feet. Our feet were higher than our heads. We turned the mattress around and same problem. Other than that issue, place was great.

The towels had some stains on them, wasn’t sure if they were just stained or dirty. We had a couple of spiders in the room, but given the location, it’s probably unavoidable. You can’t beat the location though, right at the lake and down the street from Big Bear Village. Overall, decent place.

The room was very good. The only problem was the AC/heater control. Tried to lower the temperature and tried different ways but the system always went back to 80-81 degrees. Resorted to opening the windows to get the temperature lowered. Called front desk but was told the maintenance person was already gone for the day.

Its close to the village. The room was very clean which we appreciated. Good variety of clean dishes available to use for eating and cooking. Friendly staff at check in. Nice outdoor fire pit/BBQ area with a lake view. I'd give it overall about a 4.7, the only thing was we had wifi issues but we thankfully didn't really need wifi. Had a great time with our little family if three.

What we booked thru Expedia was a 1 room cabin. What we got was a I room studio. No counter , no closet, no table. The ‘Room’ did NOT Match the pictures.. we immediately upgraded to a much nice cabin..The Frontier staff was gracious & accommodating..Typical bait & switch by Expedia, which we will NEVER use again. Make your reservations through the actual resort for a FAR BETTER EXPERIENCE!
