Cozy Cabin Escape

I had a wonderful experience staying in one of the cabins at Bear Creek Resort. The room was neat and tidy, complete with a kitchen that had all the essentials like a microwave and fridge. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect retreat after a long day of exploring, and I really appreciated the clean and fresh smell as soon as I walked in. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay!

Spacious and Clean

The bathroom in our cabin was impressive! It was beautifully designed with a pedestal sink and plenty of fluffy towels provided. Despite being a bit smaller, it felt spacious and clean. The amenities were just right, and I really enjoyed the overall setup. It added an extra touch of comfort to my stay.

Family Fun at Its Best

I took my family for a weekend getaway and we all loved the children's amenities at Bear Creek Resort! There was a playground that kept my kids entertained for hours, and the cozy environment made it easy for them to play safely. It was a relief to see them enjoying themselves so much. We will definitely be back soon for another family trip!

Comfortable Kitchen Setup

One of the highlights of my stay was the kitchen in our cabin! It was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, including pots, pans, and utensils. We even enjoyed a lovely family brunch together at the small dining table. It made our getaway feel even more special as we could cook together and enjoy our meals at our own pace.

Bear Creek is a cozy and clean spot in Big Bear, with charming cabins that cater well to families and groups. The location is convenient, just a short drive from downtown, and the amenities like the pool and jacuzzi are nice additions. However, noise from the highway can be a nuisance in some cabins, and the customer service experience might vary.

The resort offers attractive amenities like a pool, jacuzzi, and a community area for gatherings, which is quite nice for a resort setting. However, some facilities may not be available depending on the season, like the pool during winter.

I had a tough time during my stay due to rude staff and a mix-up with my cabin reservation. The cabin I ultimately got was clean and quiet, but I encountered a lot of issues that made my stay stressful. On the bright side, the location is decent, and the cleanliness of the cabin was a plus, but the overall experience didn't live up to my expectations.

5.0/10

My experience here was quite mixed. On one hand, the customer service was genuinely warm and helpful, making me feel welcomed. On the other hand, the cabin I stayed in was disappointing, with various issues such as an ant problem and a strong scent of bug spray. This took away from what could have been a comfortable stay. Overall, I wouldn’t say it offered great value for money, especially considering the issues we faced.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have much of a dining experience during my stay as I relied on takeout and snacks due to the issues in the cabin, but there were some breakfast options available.

Our stay at Bear Creek Resort was a delightful experience. The cabin was just right for our family, complete with a fireplace and kitchen, making it feel like a cozy home away from home. The pool was a fantastic bonus after a day of activities. While the breakfast was somewhat basic and the cleaning could use some improvement, overall, we felt we received great value for the price!

I had a pleasant stay at the cabin, which offered a cozy and spacious environment for my family. The location was quiet yet convenient, allowing us to explore the area easily. However, the cleanliness could be improved, as we found some crumbs on the sofa and had a narrow shower space. Overall, the value for money was great, especially for the size of the cabin.
