I found this on a reply to a review at Trip Advisor;

Thank you for choosing Northwoods Resort. Please accept my sincere apologies on the spa being out of order during your stay. In regards to the hotel needing to be refurbished, I am happy to report we will be doing just that. We are scheduled to begin a complete renovation in the late Spring as we re-brand to a Holiday Inn Resort. We certainly hope to have another opportunity to have you as our guests when the renovation is completed this fall. We hope you enjoyed your vacation to Big Bear and look forward to seeing you again.

Warmest Regards
Scott McKay
General Manager

Been watching the Lake fire just south of Big Bear. While the bulk of the fire is burning due east, it has jumped the 38 in a couple of places. I'm sure they are throwing everything they have at those spots so the fire doesn't get a run up the side of the mountain toward BB itself. Will be anxiously waiting to see how any closures affect the runs planed for the BB event.

(Edit) Due to a cancellation at Northwoods, there is 1 room left as of 2 PM on the 23rd. If anyone needs a room at the club rate, LAST CHANCE to get it! Be sure to tell them you are with the Manx Dune Buggy Club (All other rooms are SOLD OUT!).
