I loved this place, see my ratings below. The main thing for me was the location, right in the heart of Big Bear Lake. Also, the price was very good.

Had an amazing time. Brought the wife and my daughter and they had a blast. Complimentary breakfast, although DIY, was amazing. Shared amenities such as the kitchen, game room, lounge, and hot tub were a huge plus. Not to mention how friendly the staff were!

Very affordable and clean place to stay! The hot tub was hot and ready after a long day of snowboarding. Lots to do in the game room and a really cool vibe at the ITH hostel. The free breakfast was a nice touch and it is quite handy to have a kitchen to cook in.

Just a wonderful warm atmosphere and the manager Jackie could not have been more welcoming. Even gave us a lift to Los Angeles 🚗. Great “ cook your own” breakfast provided. Very easy walk down to the village even with fresh snow all around. Would love to have stayed longer

We decided to stay at the hostel based on reviews. What a find! Warm, welcoming and great spaces to relax in. The bed was comfortable in our ensuite room and we loved relaxing on the big common areas by the fire, meeting other travellers. The hostel is an easy walk to the village and the staff were friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend it!

This stay reminds me old movies with nostalgia. Cozy place, friendly staff and Yogi the dog. Recommend to anyone who choosing between affordable stay or hostels. Great location! Super close to any ski resort and the lake. Also around a lot of restaurants, bars and etc. All of these in walkable destinations (except resorts). Highly recommended!

Stayed one night after a long snowboarding session at Bear Mountain. Place was clean, rooms were nice and cozy. There are 2 shared restrooms both including showers(hot water). They provide a kitchen with cookware and dineware. Breakfast was of the following: fresh eggs, sliced wheat bread, peanut butter, jelly, soft butter, fresh coffee, bananas. Everything must be prepared by yourself and anything used for cooking or eating must be cleaned by you and of course the staff is amazing and friendly.

Room had a space heater that didn't work properly, there were no real curtains and bright flood lights outside, they also blasted music at night. The staff person asked me to move my car after I got there for no reason, and it may it difficult for me to get into my car later. The website said there's breakfast, but they are just providing groceries for you to cook yourself.
