Big Bear Village Stay
Small clean, cozy facility. Amazing time in Big Bear, and this place made it over the top. Small kitchen and living room with everything you need to cook, watch TV by the fireplace or people watch from the window overlooking Big Bear Village. Lots of shops and restaurants adjacent.

We really enjoyed!
The location! It’s middle of the village. We walked around with our dogs and enjoyed our stay. Very warm rooms. We really like this place. The owner(?) is ver accommodating. We will be back. Two things we noticed: There was not enough hot water for the bath. The lock system is good but you can hear the other guests’ beeping sounds whenever they open/lock the doors.

Took a one daycation to Big Bear just because . It was a choice between holiday ins or socal villa . We stayed at Villa . The location couldn’t be any better . We stay at BlackBear and the window outside was spectacular. We see all the Christmas decorations and people outside just having a good time . Room was nice and clean . Except one thing was really off . The fridge ! Man, that fridge is loud ! Need to replace that fridge asap .

Very friendly staff. Easy check in! Dated property, but that is the norm for the area. Was perfect for our family’s needs. Will definitely stay again. Oh, best part is everything is easily walkable, since it’s right in the Village.

5/5 Stars - A Cozy and Relaxing Stay! We had an amazing experience at SoCal Vacations - Village Inn at Big Bear! The room was cozy and had everything we needed for a memorable getaway. The fireplace was a highlight, keeping us warm and providing the perfect ambiance for making s’mores. The kitchen was fully equipped, and I was able to use the stove and oven to cook breakfast and bake cookies, which made our stay feel just like home. A heads-up: the smoke detector is a bit sensitive, so be careful while cooking! The hot tub in the middle of the living room was such a unique feature and worked perfectly after a long, cold day exploring. It was clean, the jets were powerful, and it provided the ultimate relaxation. The only minor downside was that it took about 45 minutes to fill, but we never ran into any issues with running out of hot water. However, one thing to note is that the blinds in the corner of the room were broken, so we had to hang a towel over the window for extra privacy while using the hot tub. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and we loved taking advantage of all the amenities. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a cozy and fun retreat in Big Bear!

Great space! But...
Really nice and cozy space. Fully stocked apartment like room steps from the village. Good marks all around except for a few things, such as having 2 beds but listed as only sleeping 2 people. We unfortunately had to book another room at a hotel next door for our 2 additional family members. They wouldn't allow more than 2 in the room. Also the couch bed bracket was broken when we got there, still folded out but we couldn't fold it back in. Other than that we had a great time
