I had an amazing solo stay at SoCal in Big Bear Lake! The space was perfect—comfortable, clean, and in an ideal location close to everything I wanted to explore. The value for the price was unbeatable, especially for the quality of the accommodations. Communication was clear and friendly, and the staff were incredibly professional, ensuring I had everything I needed for a great stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, and I can't wait to return!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The check in was a little tricky. They don’t seem to have anyone in the office except for very select hours. I guess they tried to contact us but as we didn’t have phone service, we didn’t receive the text regarding checkin. Thankfully we ran into another guest who had the contact number for the owner and we were able to connect and check in. The place is spacious and very nice! Kitchen is well stocked with most of what you need to cook. No can opener but everything else was good! Would definitely stay here again!

Bed is bad and gave my wife back pain. Room code is a 4 digit number and so feels very insecure, there is no latch to close when you are inside.

The place is in a great location, close to the mountain, shops, and restaurants. Most importantly, it has a kitchen with utensils, cups, plates, bowls, and cookware, so you can save some money and eat at the rental

Super location, steps away from the main street in the Big Bear Village. Older property, with well-maintained rooms and new shower/bathroom. We had lots of space, a nice kitchen and a fun "mountain vibe" in the room. My teenagers loved the big space and ability to find a quiet corner.

It was horrible. The room had a terrible musty smell. The fireplace did not work. The office closed at 5:30 and they were not available except by text and if it was an emergency. The couch was very uncomfortable. The pictures made the place much better than it was. I had headaches and so did my wife. As soon as we got outside they would go away. It was very very disappointing. We left on Saturday at 3pm. We just couldn’t get comfortable.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Very convenient part of Big Bear Village. Close walk to restaurants and shopping. It was nice to have a bedroom and kitchen along with a day bed, trundle bed, and couch. Only complaint would be the sinks. The kitchen sink had a nozzle control thing, but it either sprayed violently and it got everywhere or it was a little drizzle. Made it hard to do dishes. Bathroom sink water pressure was a little weak, but wasn’t too bad. Beds were decent. Couch was comfy. Smart tv had all the apps to choose from. We brought our Wii Switch and had tons of fun. We would definitely stay here again.

So much to like- especially location- being right at the village was awesome!! Great staff. Convenient parking. Clean, maybe too clean (the aroma was very strong for my tastes). The bed in the bedroom was adorable!

It was a wonderful winter stay. The room was warm with the fire place going for me when I checked in. Clean sheets comfortable furniture and a well equipped kitchen. I couldn’t believe what a deal it was located right in the heart of the village.

It’s quite reasonably priced, the rooms are large, it has full kitchen, the rooms are kept spotlessly clean, there are a lot of thoughtful touches, its rules are reasonable and assume that you are an intelligent adult, it has a very accommodating dog policy, there are no hidden fees, and it’s right at ground zero for walking to restaurants and shops. If you are a couple who like to be able to stretch out with a separate bedroom or a small family that wants to save by cooking a few meals, this is the place for you. Just a couple of things: (1) There is on-property space for only a single vehicle, and that parking can get a little tight (there is free public parking about 100 meters); (2) Unless you have a ground units, you’ll be walking up a flight of stairs; (3) Bring some basic spices & oil\butter; (4) This isn’t a cute cabin tucked away in a forest; it’s an old school in-town motel that was probably a small apartment building on a very popular street; (5) The heater is strong and efficient but during August you’ll need that big fan they give you; (6) If you are a delicate sleeper, you’ll need to use that fan to create some white noise, and (7) There is no daily housekeeping, though the office is right downstairs for swapping out towels & linens (the cleaning crew that comes in after you depart do a great job, so tip generously). We’d come back here in a heartbeat. Wonderful place to use for a base for skiing or other exploration in this area! Nick in Palm Springs

Overall this was a great lodge for our trip to Big Bear Lake. The staff was very friendly. A bit less accessible than some other places. Text messages are the only contact after 6pm and only for emergencies after 9pm. Our fireplace did not work well on our first day and had stopped completely when we tried again on the second night. Being that it was after 9pm this didn't seem like an emergency so there was no way to address it. We had the Brown Bear room which is quite spacious and has a full kitchen. No dishwasher and no rack to place hand washed dishes but that is just a minor inconvenience. The kitchen has all the cooking utensils you need, as well as coffee and filters. The room did get pretty cold at times so you have to adjust the thermostat a bit for consistency. There is a warning about turning it too high because it takes a long time to cool the room off, so maybe we were just playing it a little too safe. The Brown Bear room overlooks a major street in The Village. It is extremely convenient for walking around when you leave the lodge, but it can get quite noisy. I had to tend to some business calls while our baby slept in the main bedroom so I had to compete with noise coming up from the street. There is a great gelato shop downstairs that people seem to congregate in front of. So if you need a quiet room, I would suggest inquiring about the rooms facing the rear of the building instead. Overall, I would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

The blinds were not properly attached so we couldn't open them and the water dripping constantly in the bathtub couldn't be fixed (work order was for the week after we left) so we had a terrible noisy night trying to sleep. The staff was incredibly friendly though and the location was amazing.

This is our second visit, we have stayed in two different rooms upstairs next to each other. It was so warm when we arrived, the fireplace was on the lights were on to welcome us. The linens were crisp, fluffy pillows and comfy comforters. Impeccably clean. The fridge, the freezer. The stove. The bathroom . It was, and is a place we want to continue to visit. I love that we park, then everything else is done on foot. Perfect location.

We were only there 2 days but very happy with our experience. the pictures make it look twice the size, i had the impression it was a house/cabin, this is a small 1 bedroom apartment (ours was on the second floor). i am still very happy, just want people to be aware it is not a "stand alone" cabin or anything. Parking was easy in the back lot and surrounded by shops and restaurants and walking distance to the lake.

great location to the action. the bathroom location was not convenient since those using it had to travel through the master bedroom. everything was outdated, but it was fun!
