Top Big Bear Central Hotel Reviews

Sierra Blue Hotel & Swim Club

10/10 Excellent

"Best pet friendly place where I have been. They prepare a small bed, bowls and treats for my dog. Thanks!"

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a new renovation which is still in progress; it will only get better! The owner was on site during our stay and could not have been more accommodating. You can tell that "pet friendly" was part of the thinking during the renovation. In fact, there was no charge to bring our golden retriever. The room is laid out very simply with a minimal amount of fabric in the furnishings. When you walked into the room it smelled like red cedar. Location is excellent with only a very short walk to town. All systems are modern and worked very efficiently."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"The cabin is perfectly set off from the lake and in good walking distance to the Village and boat rentals. Kitchen is fulling stocked with dishes, pots, pans and coffee pot etc... Little table for two set cutely up.... Beds were nice with gel mattress, and bedding with pillows new and clean.. Bathroom clean... Shower/Tub looked like maybe someone replaced the shower head and did clean up after replacement... could have been rinsed down.... We will defiantly be staying again :-) possibly renting more than one cabin for a family trip."
