Embers Lodge & Cabins

We visited with a total of five friends for a one-day trip. The cabin is cozy and feels like home, but the air conditioning doesn't work very well. During the summer season, it gets really hot at night, and four of us had to sleep in one small room. The large upper room is really nice, but it gets hot during the day. The location is great, as it's near the center of Big Bear Lake. On the positive side, the cleaning was good. Despite the heat, we had a lot of fun!

Really quirky rooms that offer a great alternative to the generic, homogenous motels that are at the same price point. Proper wood burning fires, comfy beds and excellent general amenities. The staff were friendly and laid-back. I highly recommend staying here.

The lady that checked us in was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. She had also called us earlier in the day to ask when we'd be arriving, just in case we were coming in after the office closed. We were very pleased when we walked into our king room and saw the huge fireplace and cabin decor. We found it to be clean and equipped with a mini frig and microwave. The down side for us was the very high bed which made it difficult to get into for our "senior" bodies as well as the hard mattress with thin pillows. While some people may like a firm bed, we both woke up with back aches. There was some significant road noise early on, but it did die off to almost nothing by 10pm which ultimately resulted in a peaceful night. We were in room 2 . The shower was pretty small and the drain had a screw that stuck up above the tile floor. It was very difficult to not step on that area while showering and really needs to be fixed before someone rips their foot open.
