Beautiful, large lodge with amazing views and lots of amenities.

Three of my friends and I had a wonderful time over the weekend at Birch Bear Lodge. It's a 5 minute drive from the main road in Big Bear, has a separate building with ping pong and billiards, hot tub, fully furnished kitchen and gas grill. I will definitely be staying here again! Jacline is very friendly, available, and easy to work with.

The two night stay over for my birthday weekend was not nearly long enough. This home is quite a find, unpretentious and super comfortable with everything a person could ever want.

This place has it all!

We loved our two-day stay at Birch Bear! This place had it all. Plenty of room for all our guests, great views of the mountainside, a cozy living space, comfortable sleeping arrangments a fun game room with its own bathroom and fireplace. And to top it off a beautiful outdoor jacuzzi tub. We even saw a shooting star while sitting in the tub! Can't beat this place or its proximity to Bear Mountain Resort. Jacline was super helpful and thorough with check-in and out procedures. We can't wait to stay here again!
