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.

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.

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.

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.
