Had a lot of fun great location with private docks in case you want to bring your boat not far from town there's a nice steak house right down the way. And about 2 miles from the grocery stores you're right next to the slopes and literally on the lake it's a great place especially for the value!!!!!

The staff was very accommodating and even upgraded our room at no extra charge because we came during an off time. The room we got overlooked the lake and was quiet and peaceful. It was the perfect getaway we were looking for. The kitchen in the room was was such a nice upgrade; it had everything we needed (fridge, stove,... More

I stayed there last Christmas. I was their with my sons for a ski trip. Our needs were simple: good beds to sleep, kitchen for breakfast, paved parking spot. We skied all day so didn't get to use any services. It met all my requirements at a reasonable price per night. In our previous trips to Big Bear we had... More

The staff were very friendly and actually gave us a better room than we booked because there were so many vacancies which was really nice. The room was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. This place is a very sweet affordable lodge I would recommend it to anyone!

Mallard Bay Resort was recommended to us from some friends at my daughter's school. I AM in the hospitality business and I didn't know what to expect from a small independent mountain resort.

We met our daughter and Grand Daughter up in Big Bear Lake at Mallard Bay Resort. The owners made us feel right at home and welcomed us as family. What a great place to stay and they have the nicest and the best maintained swimming pool in town. They also provided a band Labor Day weekend along with a potluck... More

Avoid Mallard Bay Resort in Big Bear, CA! The owner is in the hospitality business, but is not at all hospitable! He promises you a resort stay, but gives you the boarding school treatment. Why: 1) Maybe he has some prejudices that caused him to worry about renting the room to my family. 2) Maybe he is indifferent to providing... More

My family stayed at this place for 2 nights and had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the facility is very clean. We appreciate that the place has a private dock. Although we didn't have a boat, our 7-year-old son loved casting a line for fishing in the early morning on the dock. It was... More
