The property has a 4.5/5 guest rating from 44 reviews. The activity list is long: skiing, hiking, canoeing, cycling, horse riding, and bike tours are all available on or near the property.

Who this stay suits
A compact, activity-focused bed & breakfast with spa access, fireside rooms, and a strong local dining scene within walking distance.
Best for
- Couples on ski or hiking trips
- Guests wanting on-site spa access
- Travellers who need free parking
- Those who prefer a B&B over a large hotel
Less suited to
- Guests expecting a full-service hotel
- Solo travellers on a tight budget

Garden, courtyard, and outdoor space
Several rooms look onto the inner courtyard or garden. Outside, there is a picnic area with outdoor furniture. It is a practical setup for guests who want fresh air between activities without going far.
Fireplaces in most rooms
The majority of room types include a fireplace, which matters in Big Bear Lake where mountain evenings get cold. The Deluxe Suite trades the fireplace for a spa bath and a coffee machine.
Spa and wellness on site
The property has spa and wellness packages available. For a bed & breakfast of this size, that is a notable inclusion and a common reason guests choose it over self-catering alternatives in the area.
Activities on and near the property
Water sport facilities are on site, and the inn organises or facilitates bike tours, canoeing, cycling, and hiking. Skiing and horse riding are also accessible, and a golf course sits within 3 km.
