Book it! Their renovations of the hotel rooms are superb. Spacious, clean, firm beds, 55" tvs, refrigerator, little coffee machine, bathroom (shower/tub) with (closet) super spacious. Highly recommend. The staff were very inviting and hospitable. The hotel sits next to a little portion of the lake with a boat dock. There's a small seating area, a little "beachy" arra but most people were fishing. Only con is the walls are thin. We heard walking around above us and doors shutting throughout the night. If youre a light sleeper, bring earplugs.

We only stayed for one night to attend an event. we didnt see much of the property but it seemed like a nice location. we stayed in the motel part not in a cabin and the rooms had been remodeled not too long ago. unfortunately a horrible cleaner smell greeted us when we opened the door. It was very aggressive and gave us a head ache. The mattresses were old, lumpy and uncomfortable. Staff was nice and everything else was good.

The bad! Bed mattresses were completely worn out and need replacing We stayed in a ground floor room and we could hear 100% of the movements in the room above us and it was too much. The good. Room was very clean and the staff was amazing! Additionally, it appears that the Frontier is committing to capital improvements and the work that has been completed thus far looks very nice.

We've stayed at this property three times. The only problem this last day was that we were given an ADA room for some reason. We should have requested a switch as there were plenty of open cabins such as ours, so that was our fault. However the Ada room lacks some amenities such as a place to hang clothes and or coats, the shower makes a mess, and one of the thermostats seem to function poorly causing the bedroom to heat up. That being said I would stay here again. A lesson for everyone check your room before you move all of your stuff in wherever you stay.

We loved the rustic beauty and the close proximity to the lake and the village. Our family had 3 cabins, and we all had a wonderful time. We had no problem getting assistance from the staff at the Big Bear Frontier when needed. We would most definitely love to go back the next time we are in the area!
