I love the new renovations! The room was very clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Check in and check out were quick and easy. My cabin was right near the lake which added a beautiful view on walks around the property.

We had a great stay at Big Bear Frontier. The room was very clean and comfortable, parking was easy, and we were only steps away from the lake.

Great location

Beds were comfortable and room was spacious. Right on the lake. Walking distance to Village, restaurants and entertainment .
Marva, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

It has an outdoor BBQ areas and a fire fit.

8/10 Very good

Gorgeous view of the lake right outside our door! This stay was mostly great. You can hear the people next door as if they were in your room, and you can really hear every footstep and movement from the people staying above you. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll have a difficult time with this - it was a bit much for us and we are heavier sleepers. I assume this is why the staff leave earplugs in the room when you check in. Besides that though, everything else was perfect :) beautiful views, beautiful property, really great service

All the amenities are worth it!

Absolutely would have given 5 stars but our cabin was near a busy road. Loved the private beach for bird watching, relaxing and yoga on the dock. The pool was heated and absolutely perfect.

Nice cozy place

Nice clean room with wood floors, I brought my dog along, and it was comfy for both of us. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Cute fake fireplace too, for ambiance. Right near a “beach” on the lake which was nice, but a bit rocky and lake water was a bit gross looking there.

NOTE: If you are looking for a cabin, this is not it. I booked this place thinking it was an actual cabin-like space. This is more like a remodeled unit. Aside from that, it's a nice place to stay. Everything is new, modern, and clean. We stayed in Unit 116. The front desk hosts were so welcoming and friendly. They made us feel at home. Thank you, ladies! The unit has a kitchenette area which we used to cook breakfast in the mornings. They supplied us with a k-cup coffeemaker, paper towels, dish sponge, and dish soap. There is a fireplace (but we didn't end up using it). I will say the sitting chairs are a bit stiff and really itchy. The bed mattress is unfortunately terrible. They provide no support. We had two nights of really bad sleep. Overall though, you can't beat the price on this stay. It was peaceful, quiet, and it's close to The Village and other main areas. We'd stay here again.

This is the kitchen area off to the left when you come in.
Microwave, stove/oven, fridge.
Bathroom to the left, full-size bed, two chairs, small table. Big screen tv mounted on the wall to the right above a fireplace.

The view of the lake was amazing! Oh and the faux fireplace was the best part. Rooms are updated clean
Jennifer, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall had an great stay. Staff was very friendly but seems a little confused. There was a mix up on my reservation and when checking out staff didn't seem to know the process. Premium cabin I reserved was supposed to have partail lake view. I was given a regular cabin then told to go back to the front desk because of mix up. Ended up with a Premium cabin walking distance to lake. Cabin did not have drawers, dressers or closet. Somewhat inconvenient. But Overall love the area. Great weekend get away.
