Within hours of reaching out, Into the Woods stepped in with open arms, compassion, and efficiency that I'll never forget. They didn't just give us a space--they gave us peace of mind when we felt like everything was falling apart. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was cared for, and they treated us with so much kindness during one of the most stressful moments of our lives. Walking into the venue on our wedding day, it felt like everything had fallen perfectly into place, and it was only possible because of their dedication and generosity. I will forever be grateful for Into the Woods. Not only is the space beautiful, but the people behind it are truly extraordinary. If you're looking for a venue that doesn't just host weddings but genuinely cares about the people getting married, this is the place. They turned what could have been a disaster into the most beautiful day of our lives.

What a cool convention center for Big Bear Lake. It is located towards the end of the lake on the…read moremain road. There seems to be plenty of parking and a huge outdoor area for events in the summer. While it was not snowing, it was still in the 50's a colder, therefore the events were inside. There is a restaurant located inside, and it is open 3 days a week. There were 2 events going on while we were in town. We ended up making a few purchases, there is also a bar inside, and they still had Oktoberfest beer left which made my husband happy. We were informed that there was a huge Oktoberfest here, so we will definitely check that out next year. We ended up leaving and coming back as we forgot to pick up one of the specials made gifts that we have purchased and was so glad we did, as we decided to eat here as well. The band had started and played rock, country and alternative. We ended up meeting a vendor there the next day to retrieve a custom-made cutting board. Can't wait to check out other events at this Convention Center.

After tickets a pretzel, cheese sauce and a beer, gas we are $100.00. We left after an hour. If your going to have an event at least make it worth the drive. We go to October fest every year and have a blast, this was horrible. We drove from Victorville. We love Big Bear it is a beautiful place but won't ever got to this one in May and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The room was a bit challenging at some points, but our gamemaster, Tanner, was super helpful and made the whole experience even better. The room itself was really well done, with a good mix of straightforward and more challenging puzzles. Tanner was also dressed on theme, which honestly added such a fun touch to the experience. As someone who loves escape rooms, I will definitely be back to try the other room, but maybe with a few more people LOL. Escape rooms are so expensive these days, so I was also really pleased with the cost. Overall, such a fun time and totally worth it!

Our cottage was clean, cute, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun weekend. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the bed was comfortable. It is situated in the middle of all these cool boulders you can climb for views of the sunrise and sunset. There is a fire pit and a table outside to enjoy the awesome desert night! This is not your typical boring house on a cul-de-sac. We felt like we were in our own little boulder world. The location of the ranch is perfect. There are stores down the street and the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is about 10 minutes away. Kiyomi is an awesome and friendly host! She knows so much about Joshua Tree and all the local events, since she and her husband have been there for years and years. They are so interesting and cool. You'll love them. We will definitely be back!

Our experience planning our wedding at DCR was honestly so easy and perfect that it seemed surreal…read more Only 2 months before our wedding we had to find a new venue and an assortment of new vendors, and luckily for us, not only was DCR available and able to accommodate a tour on short notice, Kiyomi knew a variety of local vendors and was able to make connections for us and even at one point was scouting vendor availability because she knew we were in a major time crunch! All while planning her own wedding, which was just two weeks before ours. Kiyomi was always quick to respond to our questions, incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful, and helped coordinate vendors and guests during our wedding weekend. As an added bonus, she and her husband Shane are amazing and fascinating people, and were a delightful addition to our wedding guest list. My friends and family enjoyed sitting around and swapping stories with them into the night just like they were old family friends. Furthermore, when it came time to check out, my new husband and I had less hands on deck than we anticipated, and were scrambling to clean but ended up checking out an hour late. The whole family was incredibly gracious and jumped in to help us pack and clean up. You can see for yourselves in the photos how expansive, intricate, and unique the venue is - you could walk the property 100 times and still notice new details you hadn't seen before. If you have the chance to visit or book as a venue you definitely should!
