Charming inn that provides a clean, comfortable room & a delicious hot breakfast -highly recommend!
Pros:

We loved our stay at Big Bear's Lodge because it was a charming, clean and comfortable rest after a long car trip. We wished we could have stayed longer because our girls (ages 4 & 8) loved the pool, playground area and bunkbeds. My husband and I loved the rustic charm, manicured landscapes, clean room and wonderful hot breakfast provided by the kind and accommodating owners. Certainly a gem of a place, so glad we chose to stay here.

Cons:

Only a couple of suggestions I would make such as to have a coffee/ tea station in the lobby and more outlet/ charging ports in the room.

Perfect weekend getaway
Pros:

Lovely lodge. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! There were a couple of common areas that were perfect for visiting or just hanging out. It was a little off-season to try the pool, but it looks wonderful. Can't wait to go back!

Below average considering most hotels have offered so much more and a much lesser price.
Pros:

The staff was nice. Breakfast was pleasant

Cons:

Musty smell throughout building and In our room, no clock or radio, no coffee or tea setups, no ice bucket or ice. Ice machine was empty and could not be used. 40 miles to get your own ice, no refrigerator, no microwave, no umbrellas at pool side to block the sun. Old. Needs lots of updating. We've traveled all over the world and for $210. It was robbery. We should get at least a partial refund. This lodge was way over priced!!! Disappointed.

Awesome location across from Mount Snow, beautiful lodge but could use some staff interactions
Pros:

Location across from Mount Snow was terrific, room was clean, large and comfortable.

Cons:

Staff was very absent and dismissive of customers, did not seem like any interaction was welcome. Parking lot was iced over (sand would have been nice), ski holding area was nice but not secure at all. No way to get coffee, tea or any liquid unless you attend breakfast.
