Great time at Bear Hug Lodge
Our group of nine stayed at Bear Hug Lodge in March 2024. Great location. Less than 10 minutes to groceries, shops, and snow summit ski resort. Snow tubing right around the corner. The house was very spacious and comfortable for 5 adults and 4 kids. Extra blankets and towels were plentiful. The game room was a lot of fun and the hot tub after a day on the slopes was a big hit! A set of washer and dryer on each floor was a huge convenience after being on the road for a week. Hosts, Ed and Pam, were outstanding with their detailed emails before arrival and very responsive via text throughout our stay. We stayed during the first week of Spring but were still lucky to experience snowfall which was very exciting for a few of us that had never experienced snow before. Just remember to carry those chains for your car. Bear Hug Lodge was perfect for our first visit to Big Bear. We'll be back!

mountain cabin for family
Cabin/Lodge was great for our stay. Good location between two ski areas, very clean. Nice game room down below for evening entertainment after skiing. Management/owners were very responsive and made us feel very welcome. The downstairs room is difficult for two people as the heater is extremely close to the bed. Was okay for single person. Overall would definatley stay there again.

Spectacular
Extremely pleased with the location and place itself. Lodge has great layout; found it to be very comfortable and spacious for our group of 9 (4 couples and 1 child). Seamless communication with host, provided activity/eating suggestions along with clearly defined instructions made it very helpful and easy to make our stay that much more enjoyable. Would definitely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Ed and Pam Carlson

Host profile image
Hello, our names are Ed and Pam. We are the property managers for the owners Loretta and Pete. This is our second vacation rental location in Big Bear area. We have been managing vacation rentals for over 9 years. If you wanted to see reviews from our other location go to listing number 687539. We have a great time with our guests to help them make fond family/friend memories during their stay with us.

The owners Loretta and Pete are very good friends of ours that have been long time "Local's" of the Big Bear area. They have owned this property for quite a while and finally decided to share their property with other quests so they can enjoy what they have enjoyed over the years in the mountains.

Both of them have meticulously gone through their vacation home adding their own personal touches to Bear Hug Lodge. Loretta is a very gifted artist and has put her "personal" touch with 90% of the "bear" paintings on the walls through out the lodge being hand painted. Pete is a very skilled wood craftsman that added a very woodsy/rustic atmosphere to lodge.

Between both of them, our visitors will thoroughly enjoy their Bear Hug Lodge!! They want to share their property so their guests can enjoy a small town atmosphere and a great place to unwind and relax from all of the hustle and bustle of the valley below. They also want to share what the Big Bear Valley has to offer no matter where you happen to be from.:)

Why they chose this property

Bear Hug Lodge is centrally located to all the outdoor activities for every season. Big Bear Valley is truly a year round resort.

During winter months we are approximately 3 miles from both ski resorts, we are less then a 1/4 mile from Big Bear Snow Play the ideal spot to play in the snow in the winter, ropes course and Speedway in spring/summer/fall months.

In the summer Snow Summit has the lifts open for mountain biking. It has several trails, they opened a 1 mile loop for the beginner/casual rider to advanced/racing for the advanced riders.

We are less than a couple miles from hiking/biking trails. We are only a 3.5 miles from the "Village". Take a stroll, hang out by open fire pits, shop the Quaint shops. Listen to live entertainment, eat at several great restaurants, indulge on homemade fudge. Everything is here!! The fresh smell of pine is always present. The air is just always cleaner up here.

What makes this property unique

You'll fall in love with this area and the lodge with the cozy "bear" woodsy/rustic feel and charm along with the mountain sky backyard views .You can't beat the magnificent view of the stars at night while relaxing in the Hot Tub that you can only view in the mountains away from the glare of the city lights.
