Big Bear Lake and related destinations

Escape to an alpine playground where snow-capped mountains meet a shimmering lake. Carve fresh powder at Snow Summit or Bear Mountain in winter, then trade skis for kayaks when summer arrives. The Village buzzes with après-ski energy and small-town charm year-round. Hike pine-scented trails through San Bernardino National Forest, keeping eyes peeled for bald eagles and black bears. Pine Knot Marina offers boat rentals for lazy lake days, while Meadow Park provides perfect picnic spots. Locals recommend visiting midweek to avoid the weekend surge when this mountain retreat transforms from sleepy town to bustling resort. Don't miss sunset from the lake's north shore, where mountains reflect in waters that seem impossibly blue for Southern California.

"I appreciate that the property is very clean and the staff is very friendly and efficient. In the bedroom: the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with towels, and the kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and dishes. The downside is the lack of an elevator; I stayed on the third floor, and hauling up all the luggage—plus groceries—was quite a hassle. Since we stayed for three nights, the luggage was heavy to carry all the way up."

"The room was great! The place was very homey and clean. Angela was also amazing, however the tv wasn’t working, We were not told we needed to ask for hot water so we endured a cold shower at night but then asked Angela the next day and it was heated but only slightly warm. The highlight was the private jacuzzi! In spite of the two not so great things this was a very memorable stay and kind of perfect."

"Request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs. Despite an amazing location, remodeled rooms and amazing stay, my only complaint is how thin the walls are. We go to bed fairly early but people upstairs stayed up and walked around and played music until 2am. It’s not their fault but I would request the room upstairs if I planned to stay again “also request a fan because it’s wayyyy too quiet and you hear everything!!!! But again, it’s a beautiful location, beautiful rooms and for the price, I’d book again"
