This was the perfect place for us for our mountain biking adventure. Location was excellent, walkable, and we rarely had to use our car. The layout of the building is great for minimal noise issues. Although these are older units, the rustic charm was a cool vibe and everything was in working order with no issues at all. Highly recommend!

Excellent little gem in the heart of The Village and just a short walk down the main drag to Pine Knot Marina and a cute playground for kids. The management company was very responsive and check-in and parking was easy. The unit itself hasnt been remodeled, and has original 1970's sink and wood paneling but they did a great job in keeping it clean and adding charming cabin style decor. They have every amenity including drip coffee maker, toaster, fridge, hair dryer and bathroom toiletries. I would stay here again and highly reccomend!

We booked the Brown Bear room at SoCal Vacations. It’s right in the Main Street of Big Bear Village. It had everything we needed for our family of 4, plus doodle pup. We were able to cook in. Communication was stellar. Would definitely book again for winter or summer.
