I love this Lodge!!!
I absolutely love staying here at the Snow Bear Lodge, it’s always very clean. The morning cleaning crew is very nice and helpful. This lodge is literally across the street from where we dock our boat, and close to the community park. I just wish their pool was filled so we didn’t have to make friends next door, to swim after hours from the lake

Our stay was very disappointing. We were told the pool was going to be available, and it wasn't, the place looked abandon, the front desk was closed, so their was no one there to speak to about our check in. This place was suppose to be a hotel & cabin, and the cabins & rooms looked run down.

Murder Motel
this place is awful. I felt totally "Cat-Fished". Nothing like the pictures, pool was a mud hole and behind a locked fence, no deadbolt on the door to feel safe, no A/C but you also can't open the windows because the screens have holes, ceiling fan in the room but makes a noise when it runs, no coffee pot, no where to put your clothes, floors were dirty which we discovered when we wiped up water from the cooler we brought with a washcloth (no hand towels either). No office staff to speak to hence the virtual check in. Have no idea what it is doing on this website.

Our room smelled strongly of cigarettes and the walls are paper thin. I could hear kids running around in the next room and you can hear all the traffic outside since you're right on big bear boulevard. Was rough getting some decent sleep in that place.

It was okay the room was comfort for us but when we went to shower in the morning the drain clogged. We had to ask if they could provide another room to shower for my family of 5

We really enjoyed our stay Snow Bear Lodge. Our room was very spacious and we were pleasantly surprised with the bathroom and shower sizes as well. It was perfect for our quick trip for snowboarding. And a quick walk, less than 10 minutes to the village. Would definitely recommend staying here and would book again!

I've been staying at this property for years. It gets me close enough to the mountain so that I want to drive very far to because snowboarding at the resorts.

The HVAC does need urgent repair. We cant barely sleep because of the noisy operation. Everything else OK for the price paid.
