What guests think

Across many reviews, Snow Lake Lodge is praised for spacious, apartment-style suites with full kitchens and fireplaces, friendly staff, a convenient location near Snow Summit, and good value, with the hot tub frequently highlighted after days on the slopes.

Drawbacks mentioned repeatedly include no air conditioning and no elevators, which make upper-floor stays and summer visits harder for some. Guests also report occasional noise from other floors or the road, sporadic maintenance or housekeeping lapses, and some uncomfortable sofa beds or mattresses. Overall, this is a practical condo-style base in Big Bear, best suited to cooler-weather stays.

Overall, we were very comfortable in our unit which was like an apartment and we had 2 bathrooms- which we loved. King bed was very comfortable. Kitchen equipped. 2 beautiful stone fireplaces. The jaccuzi was nice - clean and well maintained. The swimming pool was small- not a lap pool, but nice for kids. The only not so comfortable issue was the walk up 2 flights of stairs if your room is on the 3rd floor (no elevator).

The staff was very professional and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are really large and the kitchen are fully equipped. The facility is a little dated, but really clean. Most parking spots are under a carport which is very useful when it snows. I will not hesitate to come back is staying in Big bear again.

This was at least our third, maybe our fourth stay at Snow Lake Lodge. Snow Lake has become my teenage-daughter and my go-to spot in Big Bear. In an era where every place is a bait and switch of posted rates compared to what you end up paying - Snow Lake is beacon of travel value! And to keep a teenage daughter happy is a huge win! :) Rooms are spacious, clean, and incredibly functional. Importantly, the kitchens are perfect, everything you need - which saves a ton in food costs and is much more fun eating at home watching movies vs. waiting in line for a marginal meal in town. We cooked steaks on the Weber grills downstairs Location - walk to coffee shops, a few restaurants, and only 1 mile to the Vons. I timed it a 3 minute drive to Snow summit drop off area. Hot tub - one of the best, easy to access from any room, hot, always working, and gets the late afternoon sun - beautiful through the pine trees. Staff - a great location only works if the people are great - Snow Lake Lodge staff are awesome - Called me the day before to check on arrival time and familiarity with property - super easy check in. And they were busier than expected our weekend - they did great flexing to address so many people. thank you Snow Lake Lodge team - will see you again soon.

Condo has many amenities that were helpful, including kitchen with plates and utensils, Bbq, hot tub, pool table, DVDs, fireplaces, and full size refrigerator. Perfect for an extended stay although some finishes are dated, it was a great value and staff was super friendly and accommodating.

I stayed at the Snow Lake Lodge. In the past, I had some great experiences there. This time, I found the staff attentive and friendly, and the property very clean and well-maintained. My only issue is that my mattress was terrible. I was in room 201, and I could feel the springs on the mattress. It is clear it needs to be replaced. It was bad enough that my girlfriend and I left early the last day to go home and sleep in our own bed. But for this fixable issue, it would be a 5 star stay!

The room was great because of the size and completeness of amenities not to mention it’s affordability. It is basically a large one bedroom condo with a very large bedroom, two fireplaces, one in the bedroom, one in the living room, 2 large tv’s, two full bathrooms, a full sized, fully stocked kitchen with all amenities and appliances, a dining table with 4 chairs even a large foyer area that in the winter would be great for storing all the wet snow gear. It may be a bit granny styled but it’s the feeling of a winter snow cabin.

I like this property because the rooms are like small apartments and they have 2 bathrooms. I do wish they would invest in better comforters for both the bed and pull out couch. They used to offer breakfast but not since covid. Its been 2 years so its time to bring it back. Its in a good location not too far from big bear village and restaurants. Staff is friendly especially the lady with short dark hair i wish i remembered her name shes super sweet and helpful.

Love the layout especially the one we had with the bar rather than dining table. Great for families, we'll definitely be back again and this was our 2nd time here. I actually dropped and picked up the family at Snow Summit and walked back and forth. About 3/4 mile to the parking lot straight up Thrush. Big movie selection, jacuzzi was nice, walked over to Hacienda for dinner one night. Great spot to stay!

Older property but kept in good condition. Very personable and helpful. Arrived on Friday at 4pm just in time for complimentary popcorn in the lobby. Only problem was the room above us on the 3rd floor was extremely active from 10pm till almost midnight. Sounded like lots of running or jumping around so perhaps not well insulated between floors. Other than feeling like I was in a lodge from the 1970s, it was a nice overnight stay. I think if returning to Big Bear Lake again, we would choose a lodging option with a view of lake or mountains. We were able to enjoy complimentary donuts in the lobby after an early morning walk to Grizzy Manor for breakfast.
