This Big Bear Lake hotel features four distinct cabins, each equipped with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and an extensive movie library for indoor entertainment. Select cottages showcase oversized spa baths for two with skylights, wood-burning fireplaces, and private bathrooms stocked with plush bathrobes and free spa toiletries.
