Best for
Lake Lodge is best suited to large extended families or multi-family groups seeking a lakeside retreat, given its 6 bedrooms, 5 King beds, and capacity to sleep 16. It also appeals to outdoor and recreation-focused travelers thanks to the included kayaks, direct lake access, nearby marina for boat and jet ski rentals, and proximity to ski slopes and hiking trails. Groups wanting a home base with entertainment for all ages, from the game room and 82-inch TV to the kids' table and toys, will also find it a strong fit.
Travel tips
Bring good swimming ability and always wear the provided life jackets when using the kayaks, since lake access is directly across the street. From November through March, vehicles must carry chains due to winter mountain weather, so check conditions before driving up. Check-in requires a signed Good Neighbor Policy and a copy of your driver's license per City of Big Bear requirements, and the free trolley to the ski lifts and village picks up nearby, reducing the need to drive into town.
