We were looking for an affordable place to stay with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen for our family. We stumbled across Timberline Lodge and it looked like the perfect place. We stayed in #9 and it was perfect for what we were looking for. It has a very rustic feel to it and is definitely older. It was exactly what... More

We booked a one bedroom cabin for a two night mid-week mini-getaway and the Timberline Lodge fit the bill for what we were looking for. The property is on the older end (aka the same age as most cabin properties in the area) but fits the funky, campy Big Bear Lake vibe nicely. It was great to have a separated... More

Very disappointing. The price was great, the host was excellent, but that's where it ends. We stayed in cabin #15. The room has very stained carpeting, poorly maintained and barely clean.. The pool is only seasonal. The thing that shocked us the most here was there is no closet, just some hooks behind the bathroom door.

On Big Bear Blvd so noise of cars kept us up all night as windows were not double pane. Old appliances and old furniture. No central heating so bedrooms were very cold. Location is great and very friendly staff. Will not come back.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 queen bed cabin. The location is great and the staff really nice but the cabin itself needs upgrading badly. The furniture is old and dated and really let down. The VCR didn't work but we never got around to asking to get it fixed (I'm sure they would have if we asked). The... More

Awesome experience both times we've stayed. If you are expecting the Ritz Carlton stay home. For those of you who are down to earth and want a campy hideaway from your every day life then go see Fendi at Timberline. The price was right. The hospitality was amazing and the location unmatched. We love it there.

Went with my Wife, grandma and 2 kids. Loved the playarea for the kids. Cabins are nice, good beds and hot water. Well equipped kitchen, what else to want? Staff was also very professional.

Wow, $ 513.72 for my sister, niece and boyfriend on Presidents Holiday weekend (3 night stay). What a "Great Value"! The beds were very soft and comfortable (2 queens and 2 singles), and it was nice having extra blankets on the clean sheets and bed spreads. In addition to having close and convient parking we enjoyed FREE WiFi, which was... More

Our family stayed in cabin #7. Four queen beds in 2 bed room is the highlight of the small cozy wooden place. Available complimentary internet is definitely a plus. Kitchen is ultra small and minimal equiped Appliances are old but working. No dishwasher is a let down, Nook and living room are tiny. Even some electrical panel are only 2-prongs... More

Wow, $ 168.00 for my wife, myself and two dogs! What a "Burn"! First, the beds are super old, but I believe that the blankets and bed spread were older, dirty, torn, tattered and had to cover it with my sleeping bags to feel comfortable and halfway clean. Wow, all the 10 to 15 year old VHS Movies you never... More
