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!

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!
