Perfect for families

I love this location. Its all about covenant locations and parking when it comes to certain stays. And this one is it. Its not a 5star hotel. Its more of a rustic lodge stay. With all the things you need and some. Its clean, friendly service with prompt response

We booked the Brown Bear room at SoCal Vacations. It’s right in the Main Street of Big Bear Village. It had everything we needed for our family of 4, plus doodle pup. We were able to cook in. Communication was stellar. Would definitely book again for winter or summer.
