N+P Boutique Lodge

Big Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely adorable cabin! We had a wonderful stay! Very clean, comfortable beds and the fireplace made the living area so cozy! There is free pressed coffee but if you take your coffee with sugar or cream we suggest you bring some as they only provide the coffee. There is a fridge, freezer and microwave. And bikes are available to use. The cabins are within walking distance to the Village. Wish we had more time to stay longer!

Coming from the East Bay Area, I found the level of service, friendliness, and willingness to help extraordinarily HIGH! Much higher that you can hope for! Awesome CS level! Returned after 9pm from dinner in Mariposa, we were unable to find parking. Ran into a staff member who recognized our plight. She immediately volunteered her space close to the Clubhouse! Said she was leaving soon anyway. Always greeting with smiles and a friendly tone of voice. Amazingly clean, rating 10/10 by my...

Julian

10/10 Excellent

I booked this place over the concerns of both my sister and wife who were skeptical the place would be a bit too new-agey for their east coast sensibilities - but they both loved it. The view of the mountains and lake from our room and the common area were enough to make it worth staying there. Very short drive to nearby Stonewall Peak which is a great day hike. Not far from the Slot Canyon trail and Three Sisters Falls if you want more hiking. Staff was not just polite and courteous like...

Fawndale Lodge

Redding

10/10 Excellent

I love this place. There are only 3 or 4 cabins, or rooms, to each structure. And, there are about 3 different building structures. Each row of cabins are wood construction. It reminds me of summer camp. Each section is distanced from the other ones, and they wind around the large property. There are many trees and it feels like you are in the woods. There is a great fenced in pool and a gazebo. On my first stay there was a group enjoying the pool, but I didn't see one other person on my...
