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.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Big Bear Lake

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Big Bear Lake in May, June, and November offers an affordable opportunity on a budget, as hotel prices may drop to lower prices during these months. For those interested in exploring landmarks, history, and culture—including excursions to the lake, ski areas, mountains, snowboarding sites, hiking trails, smalltown charm, camping spots, beer experiences, and churches—a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal. This period promises great value for money, ensuring a budget-friendly trip that does not compromise on the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the area.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover great savings on your trip to Big Bear Lake, visit the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel options as your travel date approaches. To stay updated on potential flash sales and special promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. By doing so, you're more likely to seize opportunities for a last-minute getaway without missing out.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and season, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in a Big Bear Lake hotel. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and potentially even better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it is on the higher side, we might suggest more affordable dates that could help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually command higher prices, but thanks to Big Bear Lake’s efficient public transport connections, you might discover an independent hotel further afield that is more likely to be affordable while remaining well connected.
