I feel like FSL is over priced for the condition of the property and the rooms. It is pretty ran down and needs a lot of indoor and outdoor attention. -They do not have roll aways (as stated on the Expedia page for $50 a day). - The room smelled of weed badly which I found out if was coming from down stairs below us being sucked in from the air split outside. Informed the desk on check out. -The room was very run down. Carpet, mattress, deck. I wouldn’t return only for the price point and condition. Good for families that need space or babies that don’t want to bother other customers on a vacation.

I really really wanted to love this place but it just kept getting worse. When we arrived check in was smooth. We confirm with the clerk that the pools were heated, however, that was a lie. Our room was super small. The beds were not queen bed but full beds. The water in the shower linger and wouldn’t go down. The room is cute but falling apart and smells old. Tiny little TV…. Bathroom beyond small. Never again .

Pool was shut down for 2 out of our 4 days in 95 degrees. I only rented here because of the pool. The minute the pool was shut down manager put up sign for no refunds or discounts. Really disappointed, very crappy customer service over a holiday weekend and we paid a lot of money because it was a holiday.

We had not stayed at this lodge for several years, but for a special occasion we wanted a lake view, fireplace, hot tub and mini-kitchen area. This room delivered all of that and more! It was immaculately clean and offered air conditioning, plus there was a nice pet area close to our room. It is on the main drag of Big Bear and backs up to a lovely neighborhood for those evening walks. Unfortunately, we found out when we arrived that the pool was closed, which was a disappointment. The staff was helpful but there was a bit of a language barrier on check in.

The room was cozy, it had a nice mini fridge and microwave. They have wide shower heads so the shower was good. It feels more like an actual bedroom rather than a hotel room which is nice. The door also had a really pretty stained glass panel, it felt like a mini cottage almost. However, we had a lot of issues. We booked a fireplace room and the fireplace worked for about 20 minutes before getting blocked. We also got locked out of the room due to the lock running out of battery and my boyfriend had to wait outside our room in the snow (at night) while I had to wait for one of the owners to help me. He was able to change the locks battery and get the fireplace to work, but like I said it only worked for about 20 minutes due to the gas being blocked which sucked. It was pretty close to the village which was good but it was snowing so we couldn't walk there. I imagine it's doable as it's only a few blocks. The bowling ally is also right across the street and there are family suites so it would probably be better for a family to go. It wasn't noisy except for some type of work going on at 10 PM that was rattling the walls. I thought it was the neighbor banging on the walls or slamming a drawer but in the morning we saw someone working on the property and they were making the same sounds. The walls are also paper thin, we could hear our neighbors talking.
