Planning Your Romantic Getaway
Posted: 09/14/23
A getaway to Big Bear Lake is especially memorable in the fall with beautiful foliage and that crisp mountain air. Welcome to fall in BIg Bear!
Big Bear is the ideal Southern California destination for a romantic getaway. A host of lodging options range from hotels, quaint cabins, Bed & Breakfasts, and more. Choose from a luxury, lakeside home or a rustic, forested cabin. Perhaps a full-service hotel is more your style, or a detached cabin that gives you more privacy. Did you know you can even live your favorite fairytale in a King Arthur or Cleopatra themed suite when you book at the Castle Wood Cottages!
