Hillcrest Suites & Cabins

For our first trip to Big Bear, we decided to stay at Hillcrest Suites & Cabins, and we're so glad we did. It's a charming spot, right on the main drag right before you get to the equally charming downtown. ||The owner, Katie, immediately upon checking in gave us a long rundown of all the best things to do and see in the area, the best restaurants and the best things to order at each, the best stores and the stories behind them, and the best hikes. You also get a handout with all her recommendations written down. Throughout our stay, every time we ran into our hosts they always asked with a smile if we had everything we need (which we always did).||Rooms are clean, and attractively decorated, each one with its own theme. Also dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for us. Our dogs loved piling

We have stayed at Hillcrest before and glad to be back. This is a small boutique type place with only 12 units. We like this type most since the setting is more personal, homey, and charming. Our room is clean and cozy and have everything we need. I like the decor as well, not cookie cutter like chain hotels but uniquely decorated with the mountain theme. We used the outdoors professional gas grill almost every night and this saved us money as well as letting us eat healthy (like we normally do at home). The owners are super nice and always available for any concerns. The property is also very clean and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

Katy was great. We had room #1 with a kitchen. It was cute and very clean. A bit noisy since it is closest to the road, but I slept well. Stayed there a few years ago in another cabin and it was quiet. Only a mile to The Village so the location is great. A big plus, they don't add on fees, the price is as advertised, which is rare to find.

I have no idea where to begin! This place has been a home away from home. KATEY is an excellent owner, operator, Mother Hen(she will laugh at this) and a great host! These are MORE than affordable and the services she provides are something my wife and I never have had! If you are looking for a place on the mountain or a getaway this is a place to go. Rooms are excellent! Facility is VERY VERY clean and the kitchens are a HUGE plus. I will always recommend this place to everyone my wife and I know. Thanks Katey you have been an Angel In human form!

This place is amazing. Katey is such a sweetheart! Very dog friendly place, although I did not bring my dog. I stayed at their single bed room, and it was amazingly comfortable. Across the street is the Big Bear Brewery, I did not go in but you could hear music coming out from the brewery (when you're inside your room, you don't hear anything the music). The best way I can describe this place is that it is very personable. There is an actual person trying to create an environment, I loved it!
