Finde Hotels in Big Bear Lake

Great location. It’s very close to grocery stores, The Village,and attractions. We also went to The Barn Bowling Alley and Swim Beach/Ski Beach, and everything was close by. I was pleasantly surprised with the room. It’s very roomy and has a rustic modern feel. It was clean and we loved the full kitchen. Our family of four enjoyed our stay. We would definitely book here again. The pool was a perfect temp. We come to big bear every summer in August. We find most places don’t have AC. This place provided fans and we brought an extra from house. Each room also has a ceiling fan. The place cools down really quick. All the staff were so nice. I called ahead and asked for a first floor due to a recent knee injury. They were able to accommodate. The bathroom showers even had rails in the shower which was a bonus.

Gut! Ich mag es!

I happily discovered the Session Retreat Hotel based on a friend’s recommendation for a unique and stylish stay in Big Bear. The exterior was charming, but upon entering the room and communal spaces, the decor and style were beyond expectations – a blend of retro and space-age, reminiscent of a captivating museum. The proximity to the ski resort and downtown village made it convenient for play, dining and nightlife. We were thrilled to explore the innovative concept of the new Bar, the Flatlander on the property. This boutique property impressed us at every turn, and we felt like we had uncovered a hidden gem before it becomes the next big thing.

We were visiting Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino mountains and intended to explore the area the next day. We booked a room at the Marina Riviera right on the Lake and reached the hotel at about 3:15 p.m. Checking in was easy. The room was comfortable, with a nice view of the lake from the balcony. Unfortunately, our rental car had developed a problem just as we reached the hotel parking lot. A lot of time was spent seeking help. Finally, the rental car company said they would give us a replacement vehicle, but only at their nearest counter at the Ontario International Airport some 60 miles away. It was already dark, so we decided to give up the Marina Riviera room and seek a hotel near the car rental location. While we were thinking about the forfeited rent and the missed opportunity to tour the Big Bear Lake area, we ran into Ana Arriaga, the hotel receptionist. As we told her our story, we mentioned that the room rent had already been paid, but we would not stay the night there. Immediately, Ana not only understood our situation and empathized with us, but also volunteered to talk to the Manager, Raymond Landa. Within minutes, Raymond authorized Ana to refund our rent. She told us the news and credited our credit card with the full rental amount right away. So, while we did not get to use a well-furnished room lakeside all night, we appreciated the kindness and courtesy of Ana and Raymond. On the next trip to the Bear Lake area, we will stay at the Marina Riviera and recommend it to our friends wanting to visit the region.
