Knickerbocker Mansion Country Inn

Comfy & Cozy, Great Stay!

The location was perfect -it was a very quick and easy drive to Snow Summit! We stayed in the Juniper Room and it had a little electric fireplace, which kept the room nice and warm. No matter what room you have you are in one of the couple cabins on the property, which is a nice change of pace in comparison to a standard hotel. Also, the man that we checked in with was very sweet and helpful.

The Juniper room was very, very small. Just big enough for a bed, tv, small bench (for clothes?), and a bathroom. There is a small rack to hang some clothes, out of the way of your living space, but no drawers. The only way to control the temp in the room was by playing around with the ceiling fan and the electric fireplace, but we made it work. Also, the light breakfast that was included wasn't served until 8 am. This was a little odd seeing that people could be there to ski/snowboard and the mountain opens at 8:30 am. Unfortunately, we couldn't take advantage of the included breakfast. Overall, it was a cozy room and we didn't need much for our two night stay, so it worked out well! We would stay there again!

Perfect Weekend Visit

The Knickerbocker Mansion is an ideal place to stay in Big Bear! I had never been to Big Bear before, and the mansion's cabin atmosphere surrounded by beautiful trees and snow couldn't have been more perfect. The owners and staff were very welcoming and helpful and made sure all our needs were meant. We loved the cozy cabin feel and beautiful views from our room. Great breakfast, and conveniently located just a few minutes from ski rentals and the slopes. I highly recommend it.

Mostly everything!

The bed wasn't very good in the Willow room.

Welcome to home away from home

Loved the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of this B&B, the fascinating history of this century-old mansion, and the proximity to the ski slopes. Also the included breakfasts were gourmet and delicious!

WiFi was unreliable.
