My stay at Big Bear Lodge was a pleasant experience with a nostalgic charm. The owners, Louie and Hanlie, were incredibly warm and welcoming, embodying true hospitality. The rooms, although a bit small, were impressively clean and comfortable. However, I did feel somewhat uneasy with the lack of additional door locks for security and the absence of curtains. Overall, it's a great value for a unique experience.
