What guests think

At Snow Bear Lodge, travellers highlight a convenient, walkable location near the Village and generally budget-friendly stays, but experiences vary widely, with some praising spacious, cozy rooms while others report dated features and limited amenities.

Many reviews note the pool is closed or dirty, frequent heater or HVAC noise, and a lack of air conditioning. Cleanliness and maintenance range from very clean to issues like odors, clogged drains, and leftover items. Service is contactless and easy for some, but others describe delayed codes, unresponsive staff, billing problems, and limited onsite support. Expect a simple, central base with trade-offs in comfort and reliability.

The many blinds were broke on the West wall they fell off in the middle of the night scare the s*** out of us. Couldn't get a hold of anybody at checking they would not answer the phone. People thought we were the office coming up and knocking on the door because there was vacancies. Coffee Maker does not work. The size of my fist in the screen. Because of the location you couldn't open the windows there were so many people no privacy that unit should not be rented out. Overall the whole place should be shut down and refurbished it is really disgusting and it's a sad thing that you're doing to big bear had I seen it looks so run down I looking for a refund

I absolutely love staying here at the Snow Bear Lodge, it’s always very clean. The morning cleaning crew is very nice and helpful. This lodge is literally across the street from where we dock our boat, and close to the community park. I just wish their pool was filled so we didn’t have to make friends next door, to swim after hours from the lake

this place is awful. I felt totally "Cat-Fished". Nothing like the pictures, pool was a mud hole and behind a locked fence, no deadbolt on the door to feel safe, no A/C but you also can't open the windows because the screens have holes, ceiling fan in the room but makes a noise when it runs, no coffee pot, no where to put your clothes, floors were dirty which we discovered when we wiped up water from the cooler we brought with a washcloth (no hand towels either). No office staff to speak to hence the virtual check in. Have no idea what it is doing on this website.

Coffee shop and pizza within easy walking distance, as well as a convenience store, which was good because there was no parking, Big Bear was very popular that weekend! Snow left some parking unavailable but they had plowed to clear as much as possible at the hotel. Room stayed cozy and warm, fireplace added to the heat.

There was contactless check-in, which was great. We received an email on the morning of our arrival with the code to get into the room. That was great. The area is a half mile from The Village and very walkable. Convenient liquor stores even closer. Price was good. Room is old and dated but clean. Bed was not comfortable and there’s no AC. For what we needed it was fine.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom cabin with the twin beds. Perfect for what we needed! Cabin was clean and comfy! Only complaint was the only tv was in room with the twin beds. Kinda inconvenient for the adults. Kitchen had dishes and coffee mugs but that's it. No silverware, coffee maker (glad i brought my own), pots or pans. We ate out but in case anyone plans to cook, better bring stuff with you. We would still stay there again!

By 5:00 we were cold and just wanted to get into our room and warm up with a cup of hot coffee. However there was no coffee maker. The room was nice and the beds were comfortable.

This property is a scam, they do not follow their own processes, they left me on the street with nowhere to stay and they refused to give me my money back and worse yet, to this day they have not even given me an apology.
