Read what our guests have to say about their groups stay with us at Golden Bear Cottages. Rating: 5 Stars "Very flexible, courteous, friendly ownership! My friends and I are serving in the U.S. Navy stationed in San Diego and we travel to Big bear on weekends in the Winter whenever our schedule allows. Instead of making the 3 hour drive back to San Diego one day, we decided to rent a cabin. Golden Bear just happened to be the first place we stopped, and we have been in love with it since. Once, we were snowed in on the mountain and our group couldn't leave, and they gave us a generous discount on our cottage to ease our burden. Another time we planned to rent cottages for a group of 30 and planning it a month prior wasn't any problem. Soon after, our military schedule changed and we were unable to meet our reservation date. That wasn't any problem for the Golden Bear group. They understood our group and accommodated us..." M. Mitchell and friends U.S. Navy,  Imperial Beach, CA 12-20-12 Rating: 5 Stars "Thank you Don. I am very happy with the Golden Bear Cottages and for you and your family run operation. Your property harkens back to a day that has passed for most of the country when families enjoyed being together in the outdoors and we did not have all of the noise and distractions. I hope you continue to prosper and more people, families and groups discover your "treasure in the mountains. " Shannon Marks Orlando, FL 04-06-2014 Rating: 5 Stars "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, hospitality and friendliness. All 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." Jacquelyn Lindeman, California Youth Connection San Francisco, CA 02-03-2015 Rating: 5 Stars "First Class" 5 of 5 stars Review. Just got back from another great week in Big Bear. We have a family reunion group up there every summer. We have stayed with our family group at the Golden Bear Cottages for the past 11 years. They have every type of cabin to accommodate both our big families as well as our small families. There is a lot do do for the kids, swimming, ping pong, basketball, volleyball, horse shoes, and there is even a playground for small children. Last year my car broke down and I was stuck for two extra days. Lisa who works in the office was able to find me a great mechanic and helped me get my car on the rode again. Golden Bear also made sure I had a place to stay while my car was in the shop, and they gave me a great rate since I was stranded. Can't wait to go up there again next Summer."                                                                                                                                       Bill R. Arcadia, CA 08-25-2016 Youth Group Retreat Reviews  Rating: 5 Stars "Reviewed by our group today, "The Golden Bear Cottages was the perfect location for our Middle School and High School Winter Retreats!" Our Review: We brought a group of 50 Middle School students one weekend and a group of 50 High School students the next weekend, and the location was perfect! The staff was friendly and helpful, the cabin accommodations were the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, and the kitchen in the big cabin was large enough to cook for over 70 people! This is a great place for a group retreat! Our church group stayed twice in February 2015. We traveled with family and friends and these are our review ratings: *****5 of 5 stars for Golden Bear Cottages Location. *****5 of 5 stars for Golden Bear Cottages Sleep Quality. *****5 of 5 stars for Golden Bear Cottages Service. *****5 of 5 stars for Golden Bear Cottages Value."
