Welcome to the rules for Bear Suites Village Inn - American Black Bear Suite. Our aim is to maintain a harmonious environment that aligns with local Code Compliance and respects the comfort of all guests. As part of this effort, we've established some friendly but firm and inflexible house guidelines.
1. Maximum Occupancy: 4 guests (4 adults max).
2. Parking: Space for 1 vehicle. Exceeding the limit may result in fines of up to $1,000.

- Pet Guidelines:
** Kennel pets when unattended.
** Keep off furniture/beds.

*** Coyote Warning: *** Coyotes are extremely prevalent in Big Bear, even in the most densely populated areas. If you see one, you can bet they're part of an unseen pack.

We had a great visit. The location is great for walking to dinner. It’s right in the village and was still quiet. An AC was provided which was nice since it was a little warm out. It’s a bit rustic, but that is to be expected when visiting the mountains.

I chose this place because of its location and price. After staying here, I would bet it is one of the best vrbo values in Big Bear. There are 19 steps in the staircase, so make sure you can manage that prior to booking. If that isn't an issue I highly recommend this property.

Room has everything I needed. Loved the extra blankets and fan. Thanks

This was a fantastic place to stay! It was clean and roomy. Checking in and out was fast and easy. The only concern would be that the kitchen only has the bare basics, so plan to bring your own things (spices, tools, etc) if you plan to do much cooking. This is not a problem for me as I was there quite briefly and ate dinner at Saucy Mamas next-door (Delicious!!) The location was super convenient, and it was nice to have parking right there.

Loved staying here even just for one night. Perfect location in the Village that is close to so many restaurants and not too far from everything else in town. The room was clean and super roomy. Would be a great place for a family of 4 to stay!!

We absolutely loved staying here and will be back again and again. We needed a late check in and the woman we were in communication with was very helpful and understanding. We have two little ones so being within walking distance from most stuff was just perfect for us. The stove didn’t work the night we got there so we had to wait until the next morning to get it fixed. The maintenance manager was called elsewhere so he didn’t come until much much later but the whole time the office manager was in communication with us and was extremely nice!! The kitchen could have been stocked with more supplies (maybe a cookie sheet and blender and kitchen towels at least). The bed and pillows were super comfy (on the soft side if you like that). Clean bathroom and shower and huge closet. Didn’t hear anyone in any other units so pretty quiet (or at least couldn’t hear anyone over our own volume…) Overall, could not be beat for the price and location and comfort.

We stayed in the Black Bear Room on the 2nd floor above the office. Overall, a good restful decent stay. The Black Bear Room is a little bit dated and could use some upgrades and refurbishing. The carpet is a bit old and grimy. The place could be cleaned a bit more by housekeeping. The place was a bit dusty. It gets cold in Big Bear at night and the heater kept us warm and toasty. The property is in the Village, so everything is walking distance.

To be honest the pictures were very accurate, they were the exact American Black Bear cabin. however, the description left out significant details, important details. For example this is an apartment not a cabin. And it is upstairs! Very narrow steep stairs, so if you have bad knees and can't walk up stairs this was important to include and yet the description implies it is an authentic first floor cabin. It was clean, not the Hilton but if you have children it's perfect. Comfy beds. Bring blankets in the winter.
The shower water does change temperature when you flush the toilet or someone else is in there. The location is five stars, 10 out of 10 & two thumbs up!! 👍

Great location
This property is walking distance to everything. However, it was a bit noisy since our room faced the street. The kids weren't super comfortable on their beds but the master bed was comfortable.
