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.

Lagonita Lodge

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay at Lagonita Lodge for one night. The property is a little older, but it’s well maintained and has a cozy mountain charm with rustic furnishings that fit the Big Bear setting perfectly. The lakefront location is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake. The sleeper sofas could use new mattresses, and the bathrooms could benefit from some updating, but overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would stay here again."
