Situated by Big Bear Lake and within walking distance of the the village’s shops, restaurants, and bars, the Big Bear Frontier Cabins & Hotel is a rustic, homey property comprising a collection of cabins and guest rooms. The budget-oriented complex offers a handful of amenities, including an outdoor pool, a business center, vending machines, and a selection of books, videos, and DVDs for borrow. Though decor is fairly basic, the guest rooms and cabins are cozy and are outfitted with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, VCR/DVD players, microwaves, and free Wi-Fi. Cabins add kitchens, and some offer extras like whirlpool tubs and living/dining rooms. Cleanliness can be an issue, however, and some past guests have also complained of maintenance problems. Travelers might want to compare rates with ITH Big Bear Mountain Adventure Lodge, which offers both hostel-like dorms and private rooms, plus free breakfast and dinner.
