Nasty hotel, nasty owners! So outdated !
Upon checking in -take photos of the room and most importantly , pictures of the garbage -picked furniture. Extra attention to the nightstands, they love to call you after your stay and accuse you of destroying them. Demanding extra money!  So accusatory and unprofessional to accuse guests of destroying furniture with no warning, explanation or evidence. I had to pull off the Highway to deal with the third place finisher in the 1955 “miss Aylesbury, UK” pageant.  Nightmares come true with a stay at the “lodge”. 
Can’t wait for a condescending and unprofessional response to my review. btw, Megan is a US treasure and should have picked prince Andrew…. Peace and love

Read before you book!

You know that feeling of comfort you get in older guestrooms and hotels that haven’t been renovated since the 1960’s when, despite the decor, the rooms are completely spotless, the place smells fresh, and your meals are just downright fantastic? You won’t feel that here. Instead, you’ll have a room with paper thin walls, a film of dust in the nooks and crannies of your bathroom (gross), and fossilized scrambled eggs and something that looks like a cross between toast and cardboard. This place reminded me of what was considered the getaway place of my grandparents’ days, when I was too young to actually notice that the couple in the adjacent room snored, that the springy mattress could equally double as a trampoline (except that a trampoline smells like feet rather than our bed’s scent of oxidizing human sweat), that the hollow doors separating you from the next guy next door was one lock pick away from an uninvited guest, or that food stuck on your eating utensils wasn’t necessarily a red flag for whether your tableware actually made it through a dishwasher. To be fair, the owners seemed nice and accommodating. And, the hospitality industry is still recovering from the pandemic. Yet, I can’t understand why this place is as highly rated as it is. As one previous reviewer, with my similar taste, wrote, “Use as last resort”, I would say the same, except that I wouldn’t use “resort” in the same sentence, lest it be confused with a place that provides higher quality lodging.

Looks and smells like a concerning nursing home. Except this place has carpeting.

Big Bears Lodge is a bit old. The room was small and our bed was not too comfortable.  The TV was not HD and the channels were very blurry.  The WIFI worked fine.  No refridgerator or microwave in the room.   It did come with a nice made to order breakfast which was included, but the portions were small - only one pancake and one sausage.  The owners / managers were very nice and the lodge was decorated in interesting British memorabelia.  We will probably stay there again when in the area if the price remains resonable becasue we literally were only there to sleep and eat breakfast.

OK Place for the Price

For starters, I will say that the lounge was amazing. The breakfast was great, the location was perfect and there was great service throughout our stay, as well as it being well kept and clean. However, the rooms were dated and the rules were slightly too strict, but that didn’t affect my stay. I would go back in an instant - thank you to Carolyn and Steve for making this stay comfortable.

Amazing find

The perfect place to stay for a quick overnight for skiing at Mt Snow. Old time ski country lodge/motel--clean, affordable, and friendly. Host Caroline was great. Homemade breakfast in the morning--eggs and bacon--just like someone made it for you as a guest in their home. Will stay here whenever I ski Mt Snow.

Old time ski country lodge

Great location to Mt. Snow. No frills room but perfect for our one night. Was super impressed with the hot, made-to-order breakfast! Also surprisingly quiet in a downstairs room even with many of us walking around dressed for skiing. No issues with the Wi-Fi.

Bed and breakfast atmosphere

After spending the entire day skiing means you need a warm, comfortable place to relax. There are lounging rooms if you need more space. Breakfast was perfect.  There is a certain charm about old motels - the proprietor is right there making sure the guests get what they need. Only 2 minutes from the mountain and with a handful of decent restaurants just down the road - we will be back! Thanks.

Perfect Motel for Mt. Snow

Clean, friendly 3-star accommodations recommended by PSIA – Eastern for recent ProJam event at Mt. Snow. Great location a short 5 minute drive to the slopes. Hot breakfast included. Other amenities included outdoor hot tub. Owners, Caroline and Steve were amazingly helpful to find a good reputable local mechanic when I had car trouble. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean, friendly accommodations!

We loved the rustic country environment. Owners were friendly and busy busy, definitely care about the customer. Breakfast was just right and home cooked. Being an out of state law enforcement family we felt safe staying there, it was probably the most quiet placed we have ever stayed at. To bad we have to leave tomorrow.

Fantastic

I have just read many poor reviews, so here was our experience. Two nights, just about a mile to Mount Snow Resort. Rooms are old, but quaint. Owners in my opinion made our stay comfortable. The property could use a few upgrades, but nevertheless we felt comfortable and safe. Breakfast was nice. Freia the husky dog also made us feel welcome.
There is a lounge area with comfy couches and recliners, a game room, and great restaurant down the road.
Now, I did see some cobwebs, so maybe the proprietor couple should ask housekeeper to address. We would come back.
