I have been staying here a couple days a week for the past couple months. and have only experienced clean rooms, friendly staff and great room rates!!!!! Its also very centrally located to most restaurants and points of interest.. overall The Fireside Lodge is a win win for single night stays or week long trips....

The fireside lodge was a nice find in big bear. It's affordable and located within walking distance of the village restaurants, bars and shops. It isn't fancy, but I found it to be clean, comfortable and the rustic, cottage-type decor was exactly what I expected from a small lodge in the mountains. We stayed in a room in the main... More
