Lagonita Lodge
I loved the Lagonita Lodge. The location was great, right by the lake. Rooms were clean and quiet. The room was a complete apartment with all the amenities. I just wished the check out on the weekends was at 12 noon like the other days, especially since the rate is higher in the weekends.

Holiday Inn Resort The Lodge At Big Bear Lake by IHG
This place is literally falling apart. No screens on the windows, paint peeling, you can see through the side of the door when locked and closed. No air conditioning.
