Since finding this place 3 years ago it is the only place that I want to stay when in Big Bear. I always stay in the suites with the jacuzzi. The rooms are always clean and kept up (which can be hard to find in Big Bear). And the rooms are also very spacious! The suite rooms are all on... More

This is our 5th stay since we discovered the fireside in October 2011. We always stay in room 3, it has a flat screen TV & DVD which can be viewed from every angle of the room, from spa to bed to the kitchenette. The room stays warm with the gas fireplace above the spa and also has forced air... More

First off... Jacquiline is the BOMB!!! That's customer service at its finest. Every hotel needs a Jacquiline and if you don't have one then go get one. The rooms are very nice and make you feel right at home. Nice views of the lake and that was on the first floor... could only imagine the second floor views. The bed... More

My boyfriend and I came up for a day of skiing and I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities in the room. It was comfortable and welcoming. We had a great view of the lake from our room and the balcony runs the length of the unit. However, the heating system was a little noisy and the suspended television was... More

I only travel to Big Bear to snowboard. My friend and I like to try different hotels each time we go. This time we tried the Fireside lodge. My first impressions were great when I spoke with Jaquiline and Annie they really make you feel comforable to talk to. The room we stayed in was a little small but comfortable,... More

Our Mission Impossible was to find last minute accomidations for 2... More

As we were married 27 years ago in Big Bear Lake and stayed at the Fireside Lodge we thought it would be nice to "return to the scene of the crime". We were, however, somewhat disappointed with the level of service compared to 27 years ago. Though the staff was hospitable, we did not find the special type of friendliness... More

This was my first time staying at this lodge but found it to be nice, it was clean and the view of the lake was great. The unit we stayed in had a jacuzzi tub and small kitchenette. Jaquiline was great, she offered to drive us so we could go skiing and when the cab company never showed, she came... More

We visited Big Bear Lake with our classic car club and the Fireside Lodge had wonderful staff, excellent hotel rooms and tastefully decorated faclities available for our group to meet. They provided us with breakfast every morning, view of Big Bear Lake (from some of the rooms) and fireplaces in many of the rooms and a welcome bottle of wine... More
