This was our second time staying at Big Bear Lodge with a party of 16 and it was such an amazing time! The house is huge, fully stocked, very cozy and clean. The hot tub is a great bonus on a chilly Fall evening but one of my favorite spots is the fire pit with tons of seating for everyone along with the outdoor sound system. Brian is great and communication was wonderful! We will definitely be back again next year!!!
Peaceful and serene 🧡
