Reviews: what many of our guests have to say about their group's great experience at AAA approved Golden Bear Cottages big resort in beautiful Big Bear Lake, California google-site-verification: googlefd932fffc8c0c1ee.html   Youth Group Retreat Review "For our returning group: another great retreat at Golden Bear Cottages in Big Bear Lake. Once again, thank you so much for an amazing stay. We always appreciate all the extra service, and sincerely love your hospitality and friendliness. Each of our group leaders commented that each member of your staff were so accommodating to us. Thanks again for the late check-outs for group members who had later travel arrangements back to San Francisco. Your resort property and variety of cabin sizes is always perfect for our group planning retreats. We will see you again for our next group event.' Jacquelyn Lindeman, California Youth Connection" Jacquelyn Lindeman, California Youth Connection San Francisco, CA 02-03-2013 Church Group Retreat Review April 26-28, 2012...days we will always remember up in Big Bear at Golden Bear Cottages... our church ladies where so thrilled and thankful to testify during our church service how uplifting and spiritually fruitful our retreat was...the beautiful, clean, rustic cabins contributed a great deal in our long-awaited activity. Our church group loved it. I personally am thanking you again for accommodating us, cared for my special requests...you, folks, are awesome! I know there will be a third time for me and family and friends to stay at beautiful Golden Bear Cottages. God bless you and everyone at Golden Bear Cottages. \" olivia greene 12332 Softwind Drive, CA 04-29-2012 Group Retreat Review "We rented out one of their larger cabins for a young adult retreat from our church. Booking was really easy, and Lisa was really helpful. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for our weekend. None of the usual pitfalls of group cabins: low water pressure or unpredictable temperature fluctuations. Those things were a big deal for our group. We had a great time sitting around the tables in the kitchen playing games and talking. They had nice appliances for all the food prep we did, and plenty of kitchenware. It's close to Big Bear Village and the Alpine Slide, so we had the flexibility of making up our schedule as we felt like it. We even decided to visit the on-site jacuzzi, and the managers went out of their way to make sure we could access it even though the operating hours had ended. I'd recommend this place to other church groups for their retreats. It's not uber-modern so if you like flat screen TVs, this historic place probably isn't for you. It was perfect for our group's needs, and we enjoyed our weekend there!" Paul H Valencia, CA 11-08-2011   Birthday Celebration Group Review... 'Thankyou, Golden Bear Cottages for your special attention during our recent 80 th birthday group celebration. My wife Eileen was so appreciative for the gift basket, and the dinner reservations for our big family group were superb. We can't wait to come back to see you soon. We should be back in a couple of months for the winter holidays. Next time we will plan to have the whole group for a family reunion.' Anthony and Eileen from East Highlands Ranch, CA" Anthony and Eileen East Highlands Ranch, CA 08-10-2009     Cheer Group Retreat Review "This was a great facility for our group of girls for a week-long Cheer Camp. Golden Bear's historic mountain resort setting was perfect. Lisa was just amazing !!! Stayed August 2011, traveled on school business for a retreat with a group of about 75. Great Value for a mountain group resort. Top Quality and Cleanliness. Superior Service! Group Booking Tip: talk to Lisa" Tony R Claremont, CA 07-17-2011
