This was our second time staying at Big Bear Lodge with a party of 16 and it was such an amazing time! The house is huge, fully stocked, very cozy and clean. The hot tub is a great bonus on a chilly Fall evening but one of my favorite spots is the fire pit with tons of seating for everyone along with the outdoor sound system. Brian is great and communication was wonderful! We will definitely be back again next year!!!
Peaceful and serene 🧡

Very nice lodging. At the echo, the other reviewers that this is a great place. I do have a couple complaints though. First there is a pumphouse from the golf course that is very close by and very very loud. All hours of the day and night it seems. Second step at the front porch is extremely high. They should redo their front steps to make them to code. The place was very well stocked, except for two items that I wish they would add Kleenex and napkins. We had to buy our own. Back to the noise issue from the golf course. I don’t know if there’s anything they can do with either the Township or the golf course to get that resolved, but it is not very enjoyable sitting outside with that kind of noise going on. They have such a great outdoor set up too.

Beautiful serene, clean lodge

A group of us 8 ladies stayed for a Womens Winter Weekend. The lodge was the perfect size, allowing even a cozy-comfy bed for each. It's so accommodating for a group, yet it feels so cozy. the outdoor setting was so peaceful. We loved the outdoor hot-tub.
