Big Bear Lodging Reviews and guest comments are available here for your information

Group Retreat Review "We rented out one of their larger cabins for a young adult retreat from our church. Booking was really easy, and Lisa was really helpful. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for our weekend. None of the usual pitfalls of group cabins: low water pressure or unpredictable temperature fluctuations. Those things were a big deal for our group. We had a great time sitting around the tables in the kitchen playing games and talking. They had nice appliances for all the food prep we did, and plenty of kitchenware. It's close to Big Bear Village and the Alpine Slide, so we had the flexibility of making up our schedule as we felt like it. We even decided to visit the on-site jacuzzi, and the managers went out of their way to make sure we could access it even though the operating hours had ended. I'd recommend this place to other church groups for their retreats. It's not uber-modern so if you like flat screen TVs, this historic place probably isn't for you. It was perfect for our group's needs, and we enjoyed our weekend there!" Paul H Valencia, CA 04-08-2011 Group Review... 'Thankyou, Golden Bear Cottages for your special attention during our recent 80 th birthday group celebration. My wife Eileen was so appreciative for the gift basket, and the dinner reservations were superb. We can't wait to come back to see you soon. We should be back in a couple of months for the winter holidays. Next time we will plan to have the whole group for a family reunion.' Anthony and Eileen from East Highlands Ranch, CA" Anthony and Eileen East Highlands Ranch, CA 09-10-2007 Group Review "This was a great facility for our group of girls for a week-long Cheer Camp. Golden Bear's historic mountain resort setting was perfect. Lisa was just amazing !!! Stayed August 2011, traveled on school business for a retreat with a group of about 75. Great Value for a mountain group resort. Top Quality and Cleanliness. Superior Service! Group Booking Tip: talk to Lisa" Tony R Claremont, CA 08-17-2011

Big Bear Lake Group Reviews "We recently stayed at Golden Bear Cottages and had an absolutely fabulous time! Although we were there for an outdoor wedding, it's a great place for any stay! The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. The large Cabin #28 is great for family reunions/weddings and family bonding! (7 bedrooms, sleeps over 20). We also reserved many smaller cabins for our group and enjoyed them just as much! I give this mountain retreat a 5 out of 5 top rating! The Big Bear cabins for rent at Golden Bear Cottages are the very best. They focus on families. Fabulous and excellent family and group resort!" Pete Stewart San Diego, CA 05-01-2009 Group Review..."Wedding in Big Bear Lake. My 'Happily Ever After' began at Golden Bear Cottages Resort last week. What a wonderful wedding we experienced. The big retreat cottage was just perfect for our reception. Your suggestions for wedding planning and catering were great. Thank you also for your help with the Christian minister and salon services. It was so great to have everything right on the resort property. God bless all of you for all of your help." Tabetha Chenlee Riverside, CA 05-04-2005 Review from our family reunion...  "Our family enjoyed a wonderful family reunion this summer at Golden Bear Cottages. Their staff was extremely helpful throughout the year-long planning process of the reunion. Each individual family was made to feel special by everyone from the owners, to the front office staff, to the maids and maintenance people. We were treated like royalty as a group with every request being taken care of promptly and professionally. The cabins were beautifully clean and so charming! Everyone had such a great time that we are already planning another family reunion for next year at Golden Bear. Our family came from all over the US and this is the only place that we have ever liked so much that we plan to make it an annual Golden Bear Cottages reunion! This TripAdvisor Member: Liked: friendly people and Christian family values" Sue Henry E. Highland, CA 08-28-2006
