Convenient and quiet location for Big Bear fun
The lodge is a wonderful choice for vacationing in Big Bear, and having a quiet tucked away place to stay and sleep at. It's near to several local eateries, venues, and shopping, and set amidst a beautiful scenery that's awesome to drive through.
positive:
Cozy and clean accommodations are a treat
Rooms and cabins at Hillcrest Lodge are everything hoped for. They furniture is comfortable, especially the beds, storage is ample, layout is clean and cozy, and the appliances are in great working order. The entire ambience and experience makes you feel very relaxed while being away from home.
positive:
Terrific hosts who make you feel very welcomed
The hosts are incredibly warm and welcoming, treating you like beloved friends who have come for a short visit. They know the area inside out, so are a great source for tips, stories, and knowledge. Every guest, human and canine, is appreciated, and the owners own Labradors are well remembered for their cute and friendly dispositions.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms and bathrooms are smaller than expected
You may want to check with the owners before making a reservation, if unsure about the accommodation size. Some rooms are actually smaller than expected, and some bathrooms may be a bit cramped or awkward for considerably tall guests.
negative:
Water pressure or temps can be a bit spotty
A minor and occasional grievance is that the water temperatures may be a bit inconsistent, and the shower pressure not always as strong as desired. Make sure to bring it to attention during your stay, so that it could be corrected while you're there.
negative:
