We stayed at Edgewood Mansion for my 40th birthday during New Years Eve. My husband planned the…read moretrip to include my closest girlfriends and their families. From the beginning to the end we had the best experience. The mansion has so much history, is perfect to accommodate multiple families with en suites, huge kitchen, many places to relax, and plenty to do. We had kids from ages 4 to 10. We thought we would run out of things for them to do. Not at all. The mansion is so huge, they had plenty of room to stretch out, the hills on the property provided for fun sledding and snowman building. The adults were either at the sauna, jacuzzi, kitchen, outside in the snow walking the 2 acres of property or just relaxing in one of the many comfy nooks. I highly recommend Edgewood Mansion for any type of event whether it's a birthday trip, family reunion, corporate retreat or any other purpose where you want to feel like you're at home, or provided for like a Queen. The location which is located higher up in the mountains is away from the traffic. The accommodations are immaculate and the concierge services provided by Chantal who was available to us 24/7 before we got there and during, was spot on. We catered instead of cooking which was so much easier on everyone so we could enjoy each other's company versus cooking. Chantal gave us choices and she had Mexican food delivered one night, Italian catered another and on New Years Eve we had a personal chef, Mike who is a master chef create the most delicious surf and turf dinner. We had piles of Alaskan king crab legs and the freshest, tastiest filet. Everything was provided. This was an amazing trip because of where we stayed, the owner Laura who was so accommodating and Chantal who was so helpful. Our friends have not stopped thanking us for coordinating this trip. We all got to spend time together with the kids together and not feeling overwhelmed because everything was at our fingertips. Thank you to Laura, Chantal, Irvin and the maintenance crew, Sherri our housekeeper and the magical Edgewood Mansion.

Laura, the owner, does a fantastic job of welcoming you, walking you through the sometimes labyrinthine maze of rooms, and welcoming you to a piece of history. As we travelled during Covid19, the property felt safe, clean and secure and we had no concerns about our health or safety. Highly recommend for people hosting special gatherings, parties, family vacations or special events. Definitely worth it.

[Service] Our bartender, Dave, provided beyond exceptional service to us! He made fantastic drinks all night long. In fact, we came back Sunday too. Dave along with a fellow Elk brought out Salmon dip and chips and salsa for us. We also went down the street and got pizza and brought it back for everyone to share. Even though Dave probably wanted to go home, he stayed open 2 hours past closing for us! [Location] Pretty much a block from downtown and right across from the Lodge at Big Bear Lake. They have a huge parking lot even though we didn't utilize it being we were walking distance to the Lodge. Plus, no drinky, no drivey! Great view of the lake too.

It is a quick drive into town for shopping or activities if you come up for vacation. Plenty of air bnbs in the area as well for overflow guests.

We stayed here for our early spring Big Bear lake getaway. To be honest my feelings for this place…read moreare mixed. As a vacation rental it's great! Our Fran two bedroom house was spacious, very well decorated and very clean. A kitchenette with refrigerator, kitchenware, microwave and basic amenities. Bathroom with shower downstairs and a powder room upstairs. The bathroom design was not practical. It was very cold to take showers downstairs next to a window. The upstairs was scorching hot when heater was on. But downstairs especially bathroom was very cold. The beds and pillows were so comfortable to my surprise. The cabins are situated in a very quiet area which I liked a lot. There is a small recreational area with BBQ grill. The rate was about $400 a night which was pretty good for a two bedroom cabin. Hubby booked this place on Hotel. com so I thought it was a hotel. But it's NOT! It's a vacation rental so only basic amenities and NO services at all. Also we had to put towels in bathrooms and trash in trash bins before we left. On top of that we had to wash the plates we have used too! I am NOT a fan of cleaning after myself when I am on trips! That's why we always stay at hotels not vacation rentals! We usually leave good tips for housekeeping daily at hotels cause I tend to make a mess at times. So this cabin is a great choice as vacation rental but as a hotel it's not good at all. They didn't specify it as a rental cabin on hotel.com! I really didn't expect the lack of amenities (not even facial tissues were provided), zero services and extra work I had to put in during our stay! We might stay here again in summer but we have to be better prepared next time!

This particular room was well appointed with 2.5 bathrooms, a large living room and 3 balconies. The hotel, the furniture and everything around is old - as in 20+ years old by the looks of it. The living room TV was newer but very small for the size of the room. I'm giving this place 4 stars because the staff is great and even though the property is outdated it is reasonably priced for Southern California particularly being the only true hotel in Big Bear.

Hotel doesnt disclose this important tidbit until you're checking in, when it's too late to back out.

If you book here, get a balcony and at a minimum ask if the AC is up and running.

The entire process is seamless and the team is so pleasant to work with, especially Ally. Ally truly goes above and beyond. She's incredibly informative, thoughtful, and makes sure you have all the intel you need before your trip. She even shared helpful local resources like bensweather.com for updates from their local meteorologist and pointed me to where to check road conditions, then followed up with an email including everything to make it easy. She also gave the best cabin recommendations tailored to what we were looking for. You can just tell she genuinely loves helping people. She makes you feel less like a customer and more like family. Pro tip: it's way more affordable to book directly through them than through Airbnb or other third party sites. Highly recommend!

They also have a spa, pool and an outdoor sauna. Private beach that is gated for hotel guests only. Right outside of the gates of the hotel was a fun kid playground. Hotel also has a brand new gorgeous gym with anything you could need. This hotel is walking distance to the village with tons of food options.

The next day when I checked out, there were two ladies at the front desk who were also super sweet and helpful. Every staff member we interacted with made us feel welcomed. I also want to shout out the cleaning staff! There was a housekeeping lady who was constantly working. Every time we saw her, she was cleaning non-stop, yet still took the time to smile and say hello. You can tell the staff here really takes pride in what they do. Overall, the staff is incredibly friendly, and that made our stay even better. I will definitely be coming back! The only downside is that the walls seem a bit thin. We received a noise complaint even though we were just talking at a normal volume, and the neighbors even started banging on the wall, which was frustrating. Aside from that, it's a great place and I would still recommend it!

We had a mixed bag of adventures at Camp Nawakwa. Lol…read more There were a wide variety of activities and we had a camp staff to lead us in each. We loved the nature hike we had "Jelly" (a couple of our groups got rained out-obviously to no fault of the camp), we enjoyed archery, paint ball sling shots with "Stitch", painting wood necklaces, drama circle, and an amphitheater with breathtaking views of the the sunset. We loved our hike to the lake for canoeing. I too thought the pool was chilly but it was clean! Their swim rules seemed to be really intense to me. "No jumping off the edge of the pool" hmmm ok. In my opinion overly cautious. However, the Rock wall was a blast, equipment was in good condition. Hatchet throwing was hard, but fun. I wish the hatchets were sharp enough to grab the wood. It was rare anyone stuck one into the log rounds. Some combination of wood being too hard or axes not balanced correctly made that activity a struggle. We enjoyed trying. The team building activities were thoughtful and stretched our girls as individuals and forced team unity. Maybe my favorite part of all of camp. They lost a star for food quality and portions but the staff was always in good spirit. I also wish our group had the entire cafeteria to ourselves as we often were low on space at tables and often went outside as our designated seating was full. But the food was served on time and they got a lot of people food in timely fashion. They were organized. Our cabins were dry when it rained and i felt safe from the elements and wildlife that can live nearby. Some mattresses were thicker than others. I was comfortable enough for a week of camping. The plumbing struggled at times but not sure that was the camps fault or the 85 GIRLS who MAY have not disposed of things properly. Lol Overall I think with some retraining on camp cooking and a minor tweak here and there this would be a 5 star camp. The location was beautiful. The staff was friendly. The activities were super fun!
