5 Stars – Great Dog-Friendly Stay at Big Bear Frontier! I had such a great stay at Big Bear Frontier! One of the biggest highlights for me was how dog-friendly the property was. From the moment we arrived, everything felt convenient and well thought out for pet owners. The cabin’s location was perfect — close to everything, including the marina — and the interior exceeded expectations. The hardwood floors were a nice touch, and everything inside felt new and clean. The kitchen was actually better than I anticipated, fully stocked and easy to use. If I had to mention a few areas for improvement, I’d suggest adding a dog wash area — it would be such a helpful perk, especially after outdoor adventures. Also, the showerhead in our unit had very low pressure, which made showers a bit underwhelming. Another minor issue was the doggie trash area near the barbecue and play zone — it was overflowing and had an unpleasant smell, so regular maintenance there would be appreciated. Despite those small things, the overall experience was excellent. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and welcoming. I did find it a bit tricky walking into town since sidewalks were pretty much nonexistent and cars can zoom by — something to be mindful of if you’re walking your dog. But the convenience of the location, especially how close it was to the marina, really made up for it. I would absolutely come back and stay here again. A solid, relaxing getaway in a beautiful and dog-friendly environment!

Union entering our room we found the last guests towels behind the door in the bathroom and surrounding the room along the ceiling and in the curtains were large spiderwebs full of gnats. I spent the first 15 minutes cleaning the room and getting the bugs out of the curtains. The room was otherwise clean. I imagine someone just forgot to look behind the door when cleaning and is focused so didn’t look up when turning the room around. Realizing we are in the country there will be a few bugs, but this was obviously a multiple day over site. The front desk staff were lovely. The private beach is more dirt than sand as an FYI and it is in a marina cove. The area is quiet at night which was fantastic. You can tell there was a lot of care put into the remodel and it looks great. Just some housekeeping issues that don’t seem pervasive. I’m sure it was a one off.

Excellent Stay

We were greeted by a kind gentleman upon arrival. Our room was very clean and well appointed with a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. The electric fireplace was a nice touch! Our beds were comfy. The location is central to all Big Bear has to offer. Overall our stay was excellent. We can hardly wait to visit again.

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.

Reserved through Expedia. Got to hotel and desk lady said the reservation would take 45 min or so to come through so we should go eat dinner. Came back an hour later and she said, sorry I don’t have any clean rooms. Said a guy wanted a different room and switched and in the meantime a lady came in and took the last room. The desk lady knew we were coming back and had a reservation. Why wouldn’t she make sure to save the last room knowing Expedia was sending it over??

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.

We liked it. First time to Big Bear and we already want to go back. The room was a simple two queen bed room, but meet our needs for just a one night stay. We used the basketball court and would've used the hot tub if we had more time. My kids commented that the pool and hot tub looked clean. We also liked how the property was in walking distance to The Village, where we enjoyed a waffle cone and browsing the shops.

The cabin was very clean. The sofa/bed was very comfortable as was the bed in the bedroom. Lots of windows. Working fireplace. Ample towels. Pool/jacuzzi really nice. Parking easy.Water dispenser, coffee, and ice machine in lobby (only available during lobby hrs). Lake right there. I think the only mild complaint is in regards to the kitchen. The positive is large fridge freezer. . Could use a cutting board and a medium sauce pan. Also no salt/pepper. A small dish drainer in the second sink would also be helpful. These are minor complaints. I would definitely stay there again.
