“Average lodge”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Small and basic, but clean and warm. The gas fireplace kept the place very comfortable. Cabin is on the main road, so there is a lot of traffic when the crowds are visiting town. Not safe if you have small children that could run off to the street. Icy during the winter. The driveway to the cabin was not cleaned up when we arrived, so we got stuck...! It's a couple miles from downtown, not walking distance. Once downtown, you can find all sorts of restaurants and shops, but plan your trip. It gets crowded and parking might be a challenge, as well as getting into town and back to your cabin. Near attractions. Staff was accomodating.

“We love this place!”

For the past 10 years my family has been visiting Big Bear during the summer time, and we always stay at the Golden Bear. The cabins are the perfect sizes for all families and everything is close together so everyone can visit each other. They have a great pool and a fun recreation place where people can play volleyball and ping pong. It's a great place and we wouldn't stay any else in Big Bear!

Thank you to the Skruggs, Solbergs and especially Mr. Walter Leser for being such wonderful guests during their yearly family reunions for the past 10 years. We love watching the kids and grandchildren grow up. See you again in the Summer. God bless you all, Lisa
