Big Bear is the perfect Southern California destination to plan a romantic getaway with your special someone. Big Bear features a host of lodging options ranging from hotels, Airbnb’s, Bed & Breakfasts, and more. Such a wide variety lets you lodge in any fashion you like! Choose from a luxury, lakeside home, a rustic cabin, a full-service hotel, or even a King Arthur or Cleopatra themed suite when you book at the Castle Wood Cottages!
