Fireplace warming the room

Super nice place! Quiet and cozy! The rooms are very nice and spacious and come with a microwave and fridge :) The people running it are very friendly and helpful too, we called them at 10 pm to check on our fireplace and they came and fixed it in a matter a minute! I highly recommend this place if you want a quiet little retreat to relax and unwind

Do you need an escape from the daily hustle and bustle? Do you need the serenity of the mountains but aren't ready to be like Reese Witherspoon and trek the 2,650 miles of the PCT? Bay Meadows Resort in Big Bear Lake is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Here are the highlights: - Dog Friendly Rooms! - Walking distance to the lake - In room fireplace - 10 min drive to the chair lifts - comfy beds - hot showers - jacuzzi on site we came up in March, there was a little snow on the ground during one of our elevated hikes, but we found this to be the perfect spot to take our dog to the mountains without any hassle. the rooms were clean and just the right amount of space for the 3 of us. It didn't feel like one of those run down places that get destroyed in the winter from all of the snow, salt, and dirt that get carried in from guests. I left our trip feeling more relaxed than when I got there, which was perfect. I'll definitely check this location's availability first during my next visit!

Valentine's day weekend we decided to come to Big Bear. We booked through Expedia since I had some points to use. We had such an awesome stay here. The resort is super close to everything. The staff at this placed rocked! They were friendly and very helpful even with our 120 pound German Shepherd. They let us use a brand new can opener when we happened to mention we needed to get one. The resort itself is an adorable, peaceful and well kept resort with cabins ranging from studios to two floor cabins. The resort has benches,little bridges, swings, fire pits, pools/jacuzzis and bbq grills and even a tether ball lol in case you bring a big group and want to stay in. The cabin was spacious, very clean and cozy. Even though the weather outside reached some pretty cold temperatures we didn't even notice till the next morning that cars were frozen. Each Cabin has its own parking next the cabin. The lake is so close by that you can take a short relaxing walk to it. I always appreciate places that are well kept, have awesome customer service and treat any of my fur babies with love! I will definitely keep this place in mind if I ever do come back to Big Bear. *That snowman did not stand a chance :)

WHAT AN AMAZING OASIS! FURNISHED COZY COTTAGE, CLEAN and SAFE PROPERTY, FRIENDLY STAFF, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? This was a perfect place for a getaway for my husband, myself and our two fur babies. Online booking was easy with no secret fees. Staff was hospitable upon arrival and for the duration of our stay. Super quiet and clean ground. There is plenty of benches, grills, firepits, gazebo, and pool to enjoy if you stay on property. The cottage itself was just perfect! High ceilings which gives an open feel, newly updated appliances and furniture. Loved that the place is fully furnished so you literally just show up with your personal items and can stock up at the little grocery store in the area. They even had salt and pepper shakers and coffee in the room. We felt completely safe as we saw there is plenty of surveillance in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will back back for another getaway !

Highly recommend this resort! Near the Village and lake. Pet friendly. Seems family owned and they were very nice.

Paid for the nicest suite/room, if you leave any dishes at all you will receive a $100 fine. I was scared to forget 1 spoon and be charged

Staff would not return calls or messages (I called about 2 dozen times the week leading up to my stay and never once received an answer). Staff Informed me I could check in at 11, but when I showed up at 11 it appeared I woke someone up in the office and he was very rude and told me I couldn't check in. I showed him the email saying I could check in at 11 and he just told me to leave. I then continued to call and email since I made plans around the 11 check in, eventually I got a response saying I could come back in an hour. I waited in the parking lot the entire time, no one working there went near the room I was staying in so clearly the room was ready, but they didn't want to check me in. I reserved the most expensive suite and I was surprised at the note on the fridge saying that " All trash and dishes must be done or I will receive a $100 charge". This is insane to have guest have to take out any trash when they are already paying for a room. I don't believe in leaving a room messy, but charging guest $100 if they leave in trash in the trash cans is ABSURD!

Second public visiting area located in the middle of the cabins

This place is fantastic. We would recommend this location for a visit to anyone who asks. It is charming, romantic, clean, quiet and the bed, OMG... Amazing! The customer service is very good. Ulysses was extremely nice, accommodating and professional. His top priority is definitely customer service. We are looking forward to staying again sometime in the near future.

I traveled with my family and small dog. I picked this place because they are pet friendly and we wanted a cabin instead of a hotel. It did not disappoint! You get to park right next to your cabin which is super convenient, it's close to restaurants, stores and the city but you still get a great view. The grounds are super cute, management was very friendly and our cabin was super clean. Our cabin had a fireplace, wood floors in the living room, carpeted bedroom, futon couch, the kitchen has dishes, a coffee machine, microwave, fridge, stove and more. We will definitely stay here again next time.

I went on a ski trip with my husband, Jackie A. and her husband and another couple this past weekend. We chose this place because of the reviews on Yelp but when I went to the website, the rooms and the photos stated for itself that this place is nice. This was perfect for 3 couples, so we all agreed on a cabin and it was booked. We checked in here after a day of skiing and got to relaxing. It wasn't a far drive from Snow Summit and when we arrived, it wasn't a bad location at all and rather easy to find. We got 107 and it's 1 bedroom downstairs and an upstairs bedroom with 2 beds, as well as a full kitchen and a bathroom. The place was very cozy, yet modern and had a cabin feel to it and a nice fireplace you noticed right away when you walk in. It was cute and it near everything, including little restaurants, shops, etc. When we first checked in and got to relaxing, we got a phone call from the front office asking if we needed anything. I think that was really nice and had a personal touch to the whole experience. The bathroom was nice and the shower was a little confusing with the hot water being labeled cold, but we figured it out fast. The place is very accurate to what you see on the website and even though we only stayed a night, I thought this was a great deal, splitting the cost between 3 couples, this wasn't a bad price at all! I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in Big Bear again.

We rented cabin 125 for the weekend, and it was exactly what I expected. When it comes to accommodations, I look for a bed with white sheets and a white comforter. Otherwise, how will I know that the sheets are clean? I scoured Yelp for an affordable cabin that had white sheets and a white comforter, and Bay Meadows was one of the few that offered both items. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly female and male. They were both very helpful and gave us a map of Big Bear Lake and told us about all the big events happening that weekend. We had no idea that there was an Oktoberfest festival, so we were very grateful that the manager was knowledgeable about local events. There's a swimming pool and sauna at the resort; however, I didn't use either one so I can't comment on the quality of the experience. There are several grills and picnic areas on the property, so feel free to bring your own food for a BBQ! P.S. They have Tom's toothpaste! Gentle on your teeth and your gums!

Stayed here, this past weekend - Saturday night - in Cabin 124. For the most part, I really enjoyed this place. The staff was very nice, and they call in the early evening to do a check to ask if there is anything you need. Staying here in the "off season", AKA not Winter, it was a bit warm. The cabin was mostly clean, there were a few things on the floor I stepped on after taking off my shoes, and there were quite a few bugs on the top of the windows in the kitchen... that I never would have noticed but due to the weather, I wanted all of the windows open - to get some air in the place. This cabin has a wood burning fireplace, that we used, even though it was warm. There is a refrigerator, however it was turned all the way down... so anything we put it there didnt really get cold for a while. We had neighbors in all three cabins that were part of this four cabin building. They were all quiet, which was nice. This cabin is across from the pool as well. Made me wish I had a bathing suit with me. In the evening, I noticed some ants in the kitchen - we did not have any food out, so that was a bummer... and there was no bug spray. I guess I will just list some Pros and Cons for Unit 124: Pros: Cozy place for two (Maybe too crowded with 2 children as they suggest) Cute little deck out back Quiet Woodburning Fireplace Very friendly staff Fridge / Microwave / Hairdryer / Toaster / Coffee Maker Cons: One side of the sofa is missing the cushioning in the back part, so its awkward to sit on one side of the small couch. Very warm in the Summer - no fans in the bedroom Even with all windows open there is no cross breeze No bug spray for the ants we had Bathroom window was broken, and would not prop open I would stay here again, just possibly a different cabin, and if its during Summer, I will bring a fan for sure.

Let me first off mention that around 9:00pm-ish the entire Big Bear Valley region was blacked out due to winds, and this was done by BBEV it was announced earlier in the day, but if you aren't signed up for email or texts (which apparently this Club was not), you were caught unawares. This impacted our experience as we were sitting down for dinner at 9:00pm and all of a sudden (snapping fingers) it's pitch black... EVERYWHERE, not a glimmer of light in sight. We thought, of course, it must be a temporary condition until we went on Reddit and read that it would be off until 3:00AM. We received no notification, via texts (this is the form of communication at this property), from the hotel, no Safety (formerly known as Security in the hospitality industry) to make sure people were ok. We didn't have candles, and our phones weren't charged, etc. Then our water was turned off due to a leak in our building in the morning, and Engineering knocked on our door to let us know, and that's when we got the update from the hotel staff. This was around 10:30am. Bill in Engineering was so kind and patient as we asked, what I am guessing, questions that probably had been asked all morning, LOL He also opened our garage so we could get our vehicle out. From here on, this review is based on our first impressions and the end of our stay. We arrived after 5:00pm, and check-in was quick and courteous. The place is very spacious! The kitchen is roomy and great for preparing meals for a large group - just beware to bring EVERYTHING... this isn't an Airbnb you'll need to bring all seasonings/condiments, etc. needed for preparing a meal. I recommend taking advantage of the grill outside. It was super easy to use, and convenient for outdoor dining on the balcony where there is a round table to seat about 4ppl. The dining table was HUGE and perfect for our 5-course meal. There is a built-in desk area someone can use as a workspace if needed. Living rooms are inviting and open; however, the TVs are not SMART TVs - this shouldn't be a problem if you plan to relax and spend quality time with whomever you are traveling with, but do keep in mind they do not have access to Netflix, Prime, AppleTV, etc. It's strictly cable. The temperatures drop considerably in the evening... we turned on the gas fireplace and enjoyed the ambiance. The day after the blackout (power was returned at 1:00pm), we had breakfast out on the balcony. It was comfortable and quiet. Bedrooms are large, and the bathrooms are ample for groups that are coming with multiple guests in each room. Soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and double vanities are fantastic amenities here. Imagine my glee to find they supply Crabtree & Evelyn Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, and Lotion! The TVs in the rooms are small as well, and are in the armoire... you'd be better off bringing your laptop or iPad to watch something, since these TVs only have cable access. We did use the pool, but didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi as there were a lot of kids in there. The clubhouse was inviting, and we made a point to taste the popcorn, and I made myself an English Breakfast Tea (Twinings). In this area is also a Coffee, Latte, and Hot Chocolate brewing machine. I like that they have a library located on the 2nd floor overlooking the lobby. I didn't use the gym or the billiards room, but I did take a peek - large and clean, from what I could tell. BTW, the village is located immediately outside the gates. A short 5-minute walk will have you at the cafes, restaurants, bars, and gift shops. If you didn't bring groceries or forgot something, Vons and Stater Bros are about a 15-minute drive down the road. If possible, request a unit that has a view of the lake... not all of them do, but you can request in advance, and it would be based upon availability. It's a little outdated and has dark interiors, but I am looking forward to my return for a 'do-over'. Respectfully Reviewed.
