The facilities and amenities at Ith were fantastic! Loved the peaceful environment, proximity to restaurants, and the community vibe. Ping pong and other activities in the lodge were a plus. The front porch had great views and the fireplace added a cozy touch. The staff was amazing too!

Felt very cared for, no complaints.

I had an amazing time at the hostel. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The common areas, like the great room and game room, were cozy and perfect for socializing. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, with a stocked en-suite bathroom and functional shower. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Plus, the location was ideal, with the hostel being very close to the village center and surrounded by the beautiful Californian nature. The complimentary breakfast provided a great start to the day, and the staff even offered free drinks. it felt more like staying with new friends rather than a hotel of strangers.

For us, it was ideal.

Free breakfast and dinner, loved the location near the lake and downtown, great place for meeting new people.

One sketchy character during my stay, some guy took my bed but staff quickly fixed the issue.

During my stay at ITH Big Bear Lake Hostel & Retreat Center, I had the most amazing time! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The main room with its large, rustic fireplace was absolutely charming and perfect for socializing with other guests. In fact, I had the opportunity to chat with some fellow travelers over a glass of wine, creating memorable moments.

Moreover, the lodge offered a unique opportunity to experience a part of Big Bear area's history. Although not new, the lodge was meticulously clean and provided a very comfortable stay.

Enjoyed meeting other travelers over breakfast and during the activities. Loved walking around the downtown area and lake. The historic lodge has so much character, including a Bonanza movie scene! a great value for a fun weekend getaway.

Charming woodwork, comfy bed, accommodating manager, friendly staff, activities.

Incredibly welcoming staff. Nice communal dining/lounge area. Variety of chill-out spaces. Fun day and night activities. Private and communal rooms. Great wifi and Netflix. Soon-to-be added hot tub, bar, and pool table. Perfect for ski weekends and summer breaks
