Comfortable, very clean, quiet.The room had no air conditioner however I was amazed that the room was so cool althought the temp was mid 80 to 90. There is a fan provided. The inn is close to everything the Village is .3 miles walking and there is water access only about 200+ yards away. There is also a restaurant about 100 yards away. I would definitely stay there again if I have the same room #30 or any room in the building that has a second floor.

This was a last minute booking, and we really enjoyed our stay at this property. Nice big room, comfy king bed and close walking distance to lake. Lovely outdoor bbq area, which we took advantage of, with tables/chairs. There were several seating areas throughout the property with table/chairs/umbrellas. Would definitely stay at this property again.

This was the first time we’ve stayed here and we will definitely be returning. It has a beautiful landscape right along the lake with awesome views, a really cool bar and grill at the back of the property, and our room was so nice and spacious. The room has all the amenities of a small cabin with a kitchenette, small living room, and wood fireplace. For the price and amenities you really can’t find a better deal!

Nice size clean room. short walk to the lake. The office has limited hours, but are on the property & can be reached via cell phone if anything is needed. We arrived after hours and they left our package at the office so no problem checking in late. Nice med size refrigerator vice the smaller dorm type usually found, about 2x's the size normally found. Unfortunately, no ice machine & no a/c. A fan is provided and radiate heater fire place. We had a nice stay, would consider staying again.

Very quiet even it's off the main street. The lake and a nice restaurant/bar is right behind the motel. The Villege is very close. Front desk lady, I didn't get her name, was VERY nice. No air conditioner. But it doesn't get that warm in Big Bear.

This was a clean room that was very large and well equipped and super comfortable. The grounds were clean and had nice extras like bbqs and shaded picnic tables. We chatted with the front desk woman (owner) and she was very friendly and a nice person. We had a couple other of encounters with hotel staff--all professional and helpful. This is an excellent place to stay and hurrah the staff enforces the rules so the rest of us get our money's worth in a nice quiet stay.

The hotel was nice, very clean, close proximity to the village, but not walking distance. It’s located right on the shores of Lake. It was a little bit pricey, but it was also peak season. I don’t offered really any amenities, but they have a barbecue grill area which is probably nice in the warmer months. For the price, they should offer at least free coffee and some basic breakfast.

This was an August visit, so the weather was on the warm side (not hot). It would have been nice to have a/c to sleep better at night. The furniture is very dated but in decent shape and the room was clean. A small coffee place is within easy walking distance across the street. I consider it a good value and would stay there again. I recommend it to others if you do not need anything fancy.

I would not recommend staying here at all. I even found a roach in the bathroom and under beds were horrible .

We really enjoyed our stay at Vintage lakeside inn. It is 4 minutes away from Snow Summit. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Property is clean and spacious. Mini fridge is a good size with a small freezer. Heating was easy to set up and worked really well. TV had a lot of nice channels. My family enjoyed staying here. It was nice to come in and out and not worry about trash and other rules you normally would need to obey at an air bnb. This was our first time at the Inn and we will be back again. I am glad we tried it out.

If you want down the parking lot, there is a great place for food and drinks on the lake. It's also just a 5 minute walk to the village. We drove to the mountain but I am sure the shuttle is near also.
