We went skiing at Snow Summit which is very close by. The village is walking distance. The room was very clean, bed comfortable and the room decorated rustic style.... but we had no fridge like it stated . I read the reviews before I booked and most people complained about thin walls. I thought they were probably just being picky!!... More

This was our 2nd stay at Northwoods in Big Bear Lake. Our 1st visit was disappointing, but they upgraded us to remedy their errors, so we decided to give them another try. We stayed for 4 nights. Our first night was noisy from outside and the thermostat wasn't working right, so we were up every hour or so turning on/off... More

Went to skiing at Big Bear Lake and needed a place to stay. Decided on staying at Northwoods since it seemed to be the nicest hotel/resort in Big Bear (3 1/2 stars I think...) Anyway, mixed reviews on my stay, however since there are limited options available of nice hotels - would be willing to stay here again. Below are... More

We showed up at Northwoods yesterday, for just one night, two kids and two adults. We hadn't planned where to stay, just thought we'd play it by ear.
