  • Prime lakefront location on the Shore Acres Lodge grounds
  • Access to a rare seasonal heated pool and boat dock
  • Historic 'original office' charm with a massive rock fireplace

Snabb Överblick: A historic cabin with a killer location that is actively being let down by its management company.

Recenserat av @letsrowithit: I stayed here with the family and it was exactly the mountain reset we needed. The kids were obsessed with the game loft, which gave me plenty of quiet time to soak in the tub. Waking up to those pine trees every morning felt like a dream.

The hype

Guests love the walkability to the lake and the shared outdoor amenities like the pool and volleyball court.

Reality check

Maintenance is a constant struggle, with reports of smelly bathrooms, clogged toilets, and a 'slumlord' vibe from management when things break.

  • You want direct access to a boat dock and fishing
  • You need a place that sleeps 8 and allows pets
  • You plan to spend 90% of your time outdoors

Renlighet & Underhåll

4
  • Housekeeping: Hit or miss. High risk of finding cobwebs, dust, or missed spots from previous guests.
  • Bathroom hygiene: CRITICAL FAILURE. Reports of leaking toilets, smells, and vibrating pipes. Inspect immediately upon arrival.
  • Maintenance: Poor. Broken handles, clogged drains, and 'slumlord' vibes reported by frustrated guests.
  • Linens & towels: Basic, industrial quality. Bring your own pillow if you're picky.
  • Odors & scents: Often described as musty or smelling of old plumbing.

Innan du bokar

Bra att veta

  • Check-in is at a separate office (41693 Big Bear Blvd), not at the cabin itself.
  • You must take your own trash to a disposal site or face steep fines.
  • The 'Game Room' amenities (ping pong) are likely outdoors/shared, not inside your living room.

Vad du ska packa

  • Extra toilet paper and paper towels (starter kits are stingy)
  • Slippers (floors can be dirty/splintery)
  • Earplugs for the thin walls

Rum Genie

Bästa val

  • Lodge House #100 is a standalone unit, but 'Lakefront #110' in the same complex offers better direct water views if available.

Rum att undvika

  • Lodge House #100 if you have a sensitive nose—persistent bathroom odor complaints are a red flag.

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is the pool open year-round?

No. The Shore Acres Lodge pool is heated but only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, pets are allowed, but expect a non-refundable pet fee (usually ~$40/night).

Does it have AC?

No. Like most Big Bear cabins, it relies on ceiling fans and mountain breeze. It can get hot in July/August.

Is the kitchen fully stocked?

It has the basics (fridge, stove, microwave), but bring your own spices, oil, and specialized cookware.

How far is the Village?

It's about a 15-minute walk (0.8 miles) to the main Village area.

Is there a private hot tub?

No. This unit typically shares the community spa (seasonal). Some other units in the complex have private ones, but not this one.

Insider-tips

  • ✨

    The 'boat dock' is shared and water-level dependent—call ahead to check if it's actually usable.

  • ✨

    There is a fish cleaning station on the grounds, which is a huge plus for anglers.

  • ✨

    The 'pool table' listed in some amenities is often the outdoor concrete ping-pong table or in a shared space—don't count on a private billiards room.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker

  • 💡The management company (Big Bear Vacations) has an 'F' rating from some users for ghosting on maintenance calls.

  • 💡You might have to shovel your own walkway if it snows during your stay.

  • 💡The 'historic' label is code for 'drafty windows and creaky floors'.

  • 💡Parking is strictly limited to 3 cars; they will tow the 4th.

  • 💡The Wi-Fi is shared across the complex and struggles when occupancy is high.
