Great stay at the Big Bear Frontier Lodge!
We did a single night stay in the Lodge at the Big Bear Frontier, and it was wonderful! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. They even had fireplaces in the room! Loved the hot tub and heated pool. We will 100% be back!

Thermostat in the room was broken. Tried to cool the room, started feeling warm soon. Noticed issues with the thermostat, it was too late in the night and with kids it was a very wasteful night.
