Our stay at the lodge was the absolute best! Ed and Tessa communicated well throughout our stay and were wonderful hosts who went above and beyond for our family to have a great vacation. The house was very clean, cozy, in a great location, and had everything we needed. The paintings on the walls (done by one of the owners) were so a nice touch. The hot tub was a bonus that was clean and worked well. Perfect for families with children. We will definitely be back again!

We absolutely loved staying here. The lodge came with a lot of amenities which really came in handy. Lots of pots and pans which we really needed because we didn’t go all that prepared how we thought we did. So my family and I really appreciate that. Thank you to the hosts for really thinking about your guest. It was very warm and welcoming. You don’t really need to go out because the lodge has a game room, you can play with your family. If we ever go to big bear again, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you,Ed, Pam,Loretta and Pete!

A great place to stay

This is a beautiful lodge. It is ideally located for the Oktoberfest and downtown Big Bear. The lodge is spacious, and the decor is charming. It has everything you want, from a video game system to a pool table. We had a blast and look forward to next year, as this is our go-to place to stay in Big Bear.

Wonderful winter getaway

The bedroom layout was great for our two families and grandparents. Close proximity to the town for skiing and winter sports. We enjoyed the hot tub, games in the basement, and fireplace.

Great cabin in a great location

Our family and friends had an incredible weekend stay at this cabin. We were walking distance to many activities and a short drive to the village and lake. The cabin is cozy and charming and has plenty of entertainment available. Communication with the host was excellent and all our questions were answered promptly.

Family Ski Trip

This was a beautiful place, owners very responsive and nice, easy check in and check out. Plenty of space for our family and friends, close to slopes, tubing park and town. The pool table and jacuzzi were a hit. Definitely will recommend this place! Thank you for our stay Ed and Pam, we had a great time.

Final vacation before school year

The pictures of the property did not do the Bear Hug Lodge justice. The in person view of Bear Hug Lodge was outstanding! The game room was a plus and kept us busy with either playing games or watching tv on the big screen tv. Would definitely stay again!

Spectacular

Extremely pleased with the location and place itself. Lodge has great layout; found it to be very comfortable and spacious for our group of 9 (4 couples and 1 child). Seamless communication with host, provided activity/eating suggestions along with clearly defined instructions made it very helpful and easy to make our stay that much more enjoyable. Would definitely come back.

mountain cabin for family

Cabin/Lodge was great for our stay. Good location between two ski areas, very clean. Nice game room down below for evening entertainment after skiing. Management/owners were very responsive and made us feel very welcome. The downstairs room is difficult for two people as the heater is extremely close to the bed. Was okay for single person. Overall would definatley stay there again.

Amazing!!!

My family and I had a great time in Big Bear that weekend and if I could give the check in process and communication with property manager 10 stars I would as Ed, Pam and Garrett were all simply amazing when something was needed they were there immediately.

Peaceful and Relaxing

My husband and I went with our friends. It was nice to have two master suits, one upstairs and one downstairs. Surprisingly the beds were very comfortable. It was so quiet at night we had to turn the fan on for some noise. We had our own space when we needed it. When we were all together we gathered in the open kitchen -family room.

Cozy, clean, and perfect

Our group was two women (best friends) and five children. We loved staying at Bear Hug Lodge! While we did spend time at the lake, there was enough to do at the lodge that we could hang out there while the kids played outside, watch movies, or play video games. Everything was incredibly clean, the kitchen had everything needed for cooking, the jacuzzi was perfect, and the owners were flexible for checking-in and checking-out. I honestly can’t think of anything I would change or improve.

Wonderful home, Excellent hosts

The amenities of the home were wonderful. The kitchen and Great Room were large and roomy enough for our large family. Everyone loved how cute it was with the artistic bear theme throughout the house. Kitchen was well furnished with some condiments, paper towels, and other incidentals that one needs. Bedrooms had lots of pillows and blankets. Everything worked, ie: the fireplace, etc. The Hosts, Ed and Pam were fantastic, and so helpful. We communicated directly throughout the rental process, and they were so quick to respond to all of my questions and needs. I couldn't have asked for more.

Bear Hug Lodge

We had a very nice long weekend stay at the Bear Hug Lodge. Our party of 6 included 4 of us in 40s-50s, a 19 Y/O and 23 Y/O. The consensus was that the home had all of the amenities for a fun comfortable stay. The game room was great. We played pool, video games and cards. The hot tub was a comfortable 104 degrees, but the jet settings were a little clunky. Kitchen was well stocked. Fireplace in the living room worked great, and the heaters kept the home nice and toasty when it got into the 20s. The location was convenient to the lake, Big Bear Mountain, shops restaurants etc. Would definitely stay again.

Best stay

The whole experience was amazing. The communication with the owners and the caretakers was second to none. They offered early check in and was available when we got to the location. The place was amazing. A game room with video game system, shuffleboard, darts and a pool table. A tv in every room. Three bathrooms and 4 bedrooms made this place perfect for the 7 of us. Three couples and one single. The hot tub was well maintained and a lot of fun. The deck was nice and relaxing. It was just down the block from the convention center and only 5 minutes from downtown Big Bear. 5+ stars for this place and the owners.

We loved the Bear Hug Lodge!

We just got back from our four night stay at the Bear Hug Lodge and already can’t wait to go back. The lodge is so cozy inside and the theming with the bears is amazing. We stayed over Christmas and were excited to see they had decorations, including a little tree by the fire place. Our kids (4,6 and 7 years) loved having their own Bear Cub Den. Ed was so nice and attentive. He gave us a big list of recommendations for places to eat and it was so helpful as we had never been there before. The check in process was quick and easy and the house was filled with all the essentials you might need. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, coffee, pots and pans, and plenty of dishes. We also really enjoyed having the game room and got a lot of use out of the pool table. All in all we had zero complaints or issues and hope to make this a Christmas tradition for our family!
