10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff is so nice. We were going to check in late and the day before our reservations, we called them to let them know and he said not to worry. When we called and said we’re an hour an away, the gentleman at the desk said no worries I will be here! When we got there he was there checked us in and was super nice. Later the next day the breaker went out because I had the heater on while blow drying my hair and the hotel staff fixed everything in about 10 min! Our room had a stove and some of the rooms are suites! Loved it here and already planning a family vacation for one of the suites in a few months!

When is the best time to go to Big Bear Lake?

The best time to go to Big Bear Lake depends entirely on what you'd like to do, with distinct peak seasons for winter sports and summer activities.

For those keen on skiing, snowboarding, or other snow-related fun, the optimal time is typically from mid-December to March. During these months, the mountains are usually covered in snow, and the ski resorts, like Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, are fully operational. You'll find the best conditions for winter sports, though it's also the busiest and most expensive period.

If you're interested in hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or watersports on the lake, then the summer months, from June to August, are ideal. The weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the lake and surrounding trails. This is another popular time, so expect more people and higher prices for accommodation and activities.

For a balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds, consider visiting in late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October). In spring, the snow is melting, and the wildflowers begin to bloom, offering lovely hiking conditions.

Where can I find the best nightlife in Big Bear Lake?

Big Bear Lake isn't known for a bustling nightlife, but you'll find a few options mainly concentrated around the village area.

The Village is the primary spot for evening activities. You'll find several establishments here that offer drinks and often have live music, usually acoustic sets or cover bands. There are also a few pubs and sports bars where you can watch games and grab a drink. Things generally wind down by midnight on weekdays and a little later on weekends.

Beyond the Village, some of the larger resorts and lodges might have their own bars or lounges, which are typically open to non-guests as well.
