ITH Big Bear Lake Mountain Hostel & Lodge - Big Bear Lake, California

I now know why this place gets the reviews it does. Definitely here on a quiet/slow night. Jimmy was awesome. Definitely cared about my safety. The accommodations were clean(sheets) but the room definitely could use a good dusting. Wifi wasn't working during my stay. The bathroom was clean as was the kitchen and other common spaces. No issue with parking but I could see it being tight during high season. Its just outside of "town/village", but convenient.

staff - incredible.
location - unbelievable! walking to all the shops and restaurants, which i call restaurant row, maybe 15 minutes at the most.
Jimmy, Adrian and Amanda were to friendly and helpful. like genuinely good people who honestly care. they may be towards the end of the list. i am lucky to have met them.
the cabin is like a manison cabin. huge "music" room. large rec room with pool table, cards, board games and tv.
it is, however, an old cabin building. it's not new construction. it gets cleaned every day, but it's old...what'cha gonna do?
bring ear phones and or headphones. sometimes people listen to youtube till late... and bring and extra towel so if you get a lower bunk you can give yourself more privacy. I was in my little cave. I didn't feel bad if I was on my phone playing games late cause the light didn't get out much at all.
ENJOY IT!!!
SO WORTH IT.
ps. check with them about parking if there is snow on the road!

Welcoming host. Good location and very beautiful and vintage lobby. Room was very clean, we liked this place however fan wasn’t helpful to make the room cool and cord passing from one side to other side which was dangerous. We had body wash in shower but no soap in toilet. Overall it was good for the price and location.

I spent one night at this lovely hostel by chance. The staff and ambiance were great. I wish I could stay a few more nights, but the beds weren't very comfortable, so I stayed one night. Still, it was worth it.

I’ll start off by saying, I’m new to staying in hostels. That being said, Chaz made the whole experience amazing! One of the most down to earth and chill people ever. The lodge is also amazing, way bigger than you think. Tons of stuff to do and tons of room to do absolutely nothing in the same stay. Love it and will definitely be back!

Had an amazing time! The beds were comfortable, breakfast was tasty (and free) and the host, Chaz, was so nice. He showed me around, made breakfast, and brought me to play pickleball. I will definitely be staying here again. Adrian was also amazing!

They have pool, ping pong, a hot tub, and tons of activities!

We stayed here for one night back on July 29th to July 30th and thought the cabin was pleasant enough, especially considering the price. But unfortunately I cannot recommend you stay here. My mom, my partner, and I booked and had pre-paid for our rooms via Agoda since we were traveling in from another country. Upon arrival, they took our credit cards for the guarantee deposit for the 2 rooms. The hostel staff assured us it would be refunded after the check out. After we left, they charged my mom TWICE for the fee (USD 80.63 and USD 99.41). We called shortly after. Never heard back. Emailed several times, never heard back. My partner then left a voicemail and we never heard back. He texted the woman who specifically double charged us. She replied on September 17th, nearly 2 months later and said she’d take care of it. Then ghosted us for 5 more days and never refunded the second charge. These people stole our money and then ignored countless emails, voicemails, and texts. Stay away from this place!!!! They practice dishonest business!

I want to live here. What a cozy cabin hostel! We tent camped here for 3 nights and loved it. PCT hikers were great company. The staff were very kind and happy to help us when we had questions.
