“Lakeside Retreat”

Arrived at Lagonita Lodge amidst a heavy winter storm for an overnight stay. Check in was smooth and the staff very friendly. They gave us info about our stay and told us about group activities and other entertainment options available. As we were mostly looking forward to sitting by the fireplace while watching the snow fall, we headed to our room. We didn't specifically ask for a lake view room, but were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door and saw the lake was literally five feet from our balcony. The unit was very clean and had a nice layout with a large living room. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals (except the food, of course). The furniture was comfortable and we enjoyed a nice evening in while the snow was falling outside. Though, we can't wait to go back during the summer for some outdoor activities. We’ll probably bring family and friends too!

“Loved it!!”

Loved the seperate bedroom and living room with the pullout coach. All cooking utensils included with the kitchen. Rec room has two nice pool tables. Pool and jacuzzi are very clean.

“Great Deal”

Lagonita Lodge was such a great deal. My 8 year old Son & I stay for several night in 02/06. Much more spacious than hotel rooms we paid alot more for. Views from the balcony were great and there was plenty to do both on the grounds and close by. We will definately return!

“"extremely nice, and extremely affordable"”

when we showed up the lady at the counter was very friendly, she gave us a map of the area and a list of all the cool stuff that the hotel had to offer while we were there! And the room was incredible, fireplace, full sized fridge, and everything was so nice and tidy! very nice..... and the lodge was very affordable! it was one of the cheapest ones we could find in the area! to say the least me and my wife were extremely happy with our stay and are looking forward to coming back next year!

“This Place was great very clean,room was nice for up to 4 people.”

I can't wait to go back it was really nice that they have a private dock for your boat and fishing. The room service was very good and really clean.I would recommend this place for sure during the summer time lots of fun for every age. I will be back next summer... Thank you again for a great stay.

“Great choice”

We made the reservation based on Expedia reviews and could not have been happier. Check in was friendly and straight forward. Only one parking space is alotted to each room. The front desk had numerous board games and DVDs available. Our 1-bedroom was huge: large living area with gas fireplace, TV, and DVD player; balcony with lake view, full kitchen, large bathroom, and very nice bedroom. The entire suite was immaculate. Walked around the property and found a family play area, gas BBQs, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, and beautiful lake views. Walke up to the cute downtown area for dinner (1.3 miles). Surprisingly, at 7:30pm on a Friday night most stores and shops were closed. Found a fantastic restaurant that had a little bit of everything and great steaks. Returned to the resort and soothed our sore muscles in the indoor jacuzzi. A pancake breakfast was held the following morning in the somewhat dated recreation room. Good value ($6/pp) and included juice, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bread. Numerous activities are available each day for the guests (tours, watersports, movies, social hours, etc.). Overall we were very impressed with the location, amenities, room, and value. We would not hesitate to stay again.

“Big Bear Lake... THE PLACE to stay, on the water.”

My wife's birthday was on Wednesday, so I booked the room through Expedia on Tuesday, for Saturday. We arrived and got lost using my GPS, but we called the front desk and they gave us the best directions. We checked in, walked around to check it out because it seemed that this was a hidden gem that we had never seen in Big Bear. We went into the room just in time to watch the sun set over the lake and surrounding mountains... stunning. I was expecting some "cabinesque" hotel room, it was one bedroom apartment with full amenities. We have a time share and couldn't get it for the weekend, but this place was just as nice if not nicer. I was impressed. We had dinner in town, came back for soak in one of the two hot tubs and had a quick swim in the indoor pool. Changed in to dry clothes and played pool upstairs with other families. Our room had ample space for all our gear for snowboarding, to lay out all our stuff and the fire place for romantic glass of champagne. I would highly recommend anyone to take advantage of this place. My wife and are coming back during the spring/summer for some mountain biking with the baby. Amazing.

“good hotel”

went there for a weekend with small kids. good clean hotel with large rooms.

“very affordable perfect stay at big bear”

We were very satisfied with the condo- like room in Lagonita Lodge. Beautiful view of the lake, firplace, fully equiped kitchen (plates, pots, microvave,etc.). Driving distance to the Summit- 5 minutes. My friends couldn't believe that the price for all of these was that low.

“Pleasant Surprise”

We booked late during the week for the coming Saturday for a one night stay in Big Bear. One night weekend bookings are very hard to find here. Lagonita Lodge was a fantastic choice. They upgraded us to a lake view room. The room was very clean and more than adequate for one night. Great accomodations for adults and children. Pleasant staff too. We will definitely be back.
