This place was very nice bed was comfortable back didn’t hurt at all when I woke up which is a major plus for me!. I didn’t like that only a few people were staying there at the same time as me and my husband stayed and they put us right next to the other tenants that were there. Not that we are loud nor were they, I just like to have the most privacy as possible something I love and pay for. The room we stayed in was very nicely decorated the fridge was like a 50 or 60’s fridge I absolutely loved it! It was just very cozy and I love the decore and really loved the thought they put into decorating the room. Love the no smoking the rooms smelled great! And people that ran the place are very nice and respectful would definitely stay again if needed.

Very nice place. Staff was exceptional. Room was clean and beds were comfy. Very hot water too. Loved the small 'fridge and freezer had room for our 11 ice packs that froze nice and solid by morning. The little touches, like towels shaped on the bed, closet with extra pillows, blankets, and tray tables, were great.

Super clean, nostalgic 50's Era motor lodge. The owners seem like wonderful people. Patio chairs in front of the rooms, the view of the lake. Was a perfect place to sit & relax with a book!

Very clean and comfortable. Beds are great, loved the vintage feel. Bathroom needs a bit of work, had some cracked tiles and toilet very loose but over all I liked the place. Had some confusion about reservation but that happens sometimes.

This place is very clean. Staff is friendly. The bed was amazing. It had a table & chairs, microwave, cute retro fridge. They thought of everything. Nice mom & pop place. We could see the Lake from our room! I would definitely stay here again.

We started our Lake Huron vacation in Alpena. Thankfully we chose Big Bear Lodge for our first stop. Owners Hanlie, Louie and Staff provide a very clean,friendly, and hospitable Lodging experience. I highly recommend Big Bear , next time we are in the Alpena area I will look no further than Big Bear for Lodging ! Keep Up the Great Service !!!

A real gem. Room was small but it was spotless ! Soft cozy bed. Furnishings are retro (particularly loved the retro looking little fridge). Great restaurant next door that we walked to. Then returned and sat on the swing out front. Directly across from a park on Thunder Bay. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Perfect for what we wanted. No freaking corporate chain motels and across the street from the beach! With a decent Mexican restaurant nearby on the beach, we will be back

Love this place, we stay every year during the 4th of July. The Owners are so polite and caring. Big Bear Lodge has a unique touch in every room, very tasteful. I would highly recommend this beautiful and unique place that makes you feel at home, and you'll love the Owners!

Great owners! They were both so nice, friendly, helpful and cheerful. Great price! This is an important one and they were the most affordable in the area. Great room! It is so nice finding places with personality! Big Bear Lodge is the total package. I will definitely stay again next time I'm riding in the area.Walkability: Food and dining right next door and they are right across the road from the beach!

The owners, I'm assuming were the ones at the front desk. They were very nice, friendly, and promptly remedied the issue we had with wifi. I chose this location based on the high qratings it had received from guests who had stayed there. The pictures are a bit deceiving, because the rooms are in great need of updating. They are very clean, it became very chilly throughout the night with no way to turn the heat up higher. Walls are very thin, so if you're a light sleeper, this isn't a good choice for you.
