Love is always in the air. We all know that. But, sometimes it helps to set the mood. And what better way to set the mood than a surprise getaway to a cozy little mountain cabin or cottage.

Feel the mountain breeze, see and hear the rustling of the tall pines. Enjoy a personal encounter with nature at Golden Bear Cottages resort. Feel enlightened and serene. Enjoy a lasting sense of peace from a mountain experience that you will remember forever.

Golden Bear Cottages considers it a great honor to carry on the role of protecting and sharing the beauty of the California historic pine forests with our guests. Our goal is to nurture an environment in harmony with the nature and history of the mountain while allowing our guests to enjoy a relaxing Big Bear Lake alpine experience. We strive to make our resort an antidote to all that is excessive, formal, artificial or contrived. By focusing on the very essence of life, we hope to offer our guests a welcome retreat in tune with the spirit of the mountains.

Golden Bear Cottages is truly an historic mountain property, not a five star hotel. If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet resort with a heated pool and spa, lots of outdoor activities and a Christian family staff that truly appreciates you and your family or group then this is the place for you! Our AAA approved historic cabins have had families and retreats returning year after year for over three quarters of a century. It's a Big Bear tradition, a mountain experience that you will remember forever .

... and you can still stay close to home, but visit a different world in Big Bear Lake.
