Gold Mountain Manor Bed and Breakfast

Gold Mountain Manor Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"The Gold Mountain Manor B&B was a gem in the beautiful woods in Big Bear City. The staff was efficient and friendly. The breakfasts were delicious and served on one of the many beautiful tables on the patio! The cozy lodge was decorated with beautiful antiquities, billiard table, games, a fireplace and comfortable couches to relax. We stayed in Bessie's Room, and it was very charming, cozy, nicely decorated and welcoming. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The room had many amenities to enjoy. It is also a wedding venue for those looking for a lovely place to have a special event. I can't say enough about this B&B, and we will definitely be back for another beautiful visit!"

Cathy's Cottages

8/10 Good
"Important Detail, the pictures do not reflect the room you get. The first pictures you see on the description show and in room whirlpool tub that is the reason why we rented in the first place that Room because it was our anniversary. That did not happen. The room was nice very cozy and everything else looked just like the pictures, but there was no tub in the room instead we had a shower within a bathroom. I would highly suggest that the host make some type of note that the room that you will see in the pictures is not the room you’re getting. This was very disappointing. Other than that, it was very clean very safe and the location was close to everything."

8/10 Good
"I have this 4 stars because of the beautiful location. The cabin is cute and I love the vibe but they really need to update the blinds because they were cracking and falling into pieces and the living room TV never worked. Also on top of the fireplace mantle has so much dust on it I would be embarrassed if that was my home. They need a better cleaning service perhaps. I would come back, just pack some bowls since there were not any."
