We could spend all day heaping praise upon our No. 6 pick, but we think it’d be so much simpler to let its name do the talking. We know what you’re really after on your Big Bear vacation and true to its name, Edgewater Resort puts you right on its shores. Even your boat stays for free!

Sure, Edgewater Resort’s lakefront suites offer the convenience of kitchenettes, the cozy ambiance of gas log stoves and expansive windows to take in the view. But we bet it won’t be long before Big Bear Lake’s deep blue waters lure you from these spacious accommodations and into its refreshing depths. Those who prefer less waterlogged adventures can skim the water on a pair of skis, cruise the shoreline in a canoe or race the wind atop a WaveRunner. Every suite at Edgewater Resort includes a private deck overlooking Big Bear Lake, a perfect place for watching the sun set over these California waters. And on the very edge of the horizon, we spotted something that’s sure to stir your littlest land-lovers into a frenzied state. Big Bear’s pirate ship – an authentic replica of a Spanish galleon – hints of whirlwind adventures and buried treasures, but in reality offers something better: narrated tours of Big Bear Lake!

Entrance fees

Big Bear group events or reunions are always welcome at the Edgewater, where a range of spacious rooms and suites can accommodate an intimate party or family function of up to 50 guests.

In reality there wasn’t any theft involved, but in keeping with the tradition of its namesake – best known for robbing the rich to feed the poor – we’ll say that Robinhood Resorts ran away with our hearts on our Big Bear vacation!

Our No. 8 pick is so much more than a resort; it’s a trio of fanciful Big Bear accommodations – the Robinhood Inn, the Sherwood Forest and the Wishing Well – that will transport you to the fairytale forests that first made this beloved hero famous. We can’t promise you any merry men, but we can give you our solemn pledge that you’re in for something special on your Big Bear vacation.

Some might turn up their noses at our No. 9 spot’s small proportions, particularly when comparing it to the grand-scale lodges that dot Big Bear Lake’s shores. But if you ask our opinion, we’d tell you that the Inn at Fawnskin – like its hoofed counterpart – has certainly grown into its spots, even if there are only five of them!

Surrounded by the towering pines of the San Bernardino Mountains and fronting Big Bear Lake’s north shore, the Inn at Fawnskin is equal parts mountain solitude and lakefront adventure on your Southern California vacation. With such a warm, cozy ambiance offered in each of its suites, the innkeepers knew it would take something special to tempt you from your peaceful slumber. That’s why the inn serves a scrumptious gourmet breakfast each morning! Spring in Big Bear is a well-kept secret, so skip the crowds and plan your Big Bear vacation around this spectacular season, when tulips, daffodils and lilacs – and a hint of romance – are all in full bloom. And with Southern California temperatures hovering around a breezy 65 degrees, we think it’s the perfect time to hole up with your sweetie in front of the Garden Suite’s fireplace or in the jetted tub for two!

Highlights

Rooms in the Inn at Fawnskin include fireplaces, sitting areas, televisions, luxurious microfiber spa robes, balconies and views of Big Bear Lake.

Getting there

From the 10 Freeway, exit at Hwy. 210 to 330. Stay on Hwy. 210 for three miles and exit at the Mountain Resorts off-ramp. Take Hwy. 330/18 to Big Bear Lake and follow it to the dam. The Inn at Fawnskin will be on your left as you approach the corner of North Shore Drive and Canyon Road. From the High Desert area, take Hwy. 18 and stay on North Shore Drive. Follow the signs to Fawnskin and continue past Stanfield Cutoff and into the inn’s entrance.

Fun facts

At a mile and a quarter above most of Southern California, Big Bear's forests, mountains, lake and weather make for ideal three-day fall getaways to the Inn at Fawnskin.

Before encountering our No. 10 spot, our closest association with the Black Forest – a wooded mountain range in southwestern Germany – was a delightful taste of the world-famous chocolate, cherry and cream cake that shares its name.

While the Black Forest Lodge obviously isn’t edible, we think you’ll find plenty to love about this Bavarian lodge on your Big Bear vacation. For centuries, residents of Germany’s Black Forest region made a name for themselves as talented artisans, known around the world for their exceptional craftsmanship and intricately-carved cuckoo clocks. Today, you can get a taste of this Bavarian tradition without ever leaving the states. Each of Black Forest Lodge’s nostalgic cabins boast traditional stone and cedar shake exteriors, shuttered windows and hand-painted trim. Steeped in German traditions, it’s no coincidence that Black Forest Lodge’s rustic cabins are reminiscent of cozy ski chalets. Come winter, a flurry of snow blankets this Big Bear lodge and transforms it into a Bavarian village of folklore proportions. With in-cabin fireplaces and two-person spa tubs, we think these Big Bear cabins are a welcoming retreat after a full day of skiing on Big Bear Mountain Resorts’ slopes. And with Black Forest Lodge’s convenient ski packages, it’s never been easier to enjoy them!

Highlights

Accomplished artist Valentina Ratshenko-Lamdin, whose work is featured in galleries, museums and private collections throughout the world, holds painting workshops at the Black Forest Lodge.

What do a museum and our No. 11 pick have in common? They both showcase artifacts born from ancient civilizations, global cultures and the occasional mythical character. While Castle Wood Cottages’ themed rooms may be reproductions, the romantic ambiance found inside each is assuredly authentic!

Spanish tiles, pirate ship murals and hidden treasure may be prominently featured in the Captain’s Quarter’s, but we can promise one thing won’t stay buried for long: the romance on your Big Bear Lake vacation! But this amorous ambiance isn’t solely limited to Castle Wood’s pirate-themed suite; each of these Southern California cabins comes with a spellbinding theme, from the Anthony and Cleopatra suite dripping with gold to the functional moat and regal furnishings of the Castle Garden. We could tell you about Castle Wood Cottages’ proximity to Big Bear’s village, slopes and marinas, but why waste valuable space describing sights and attractions you’ll likely never see? With everything required of your romantic Big Bear getaway – bubbling Jacuzzi tubs, canopy beds and the warm glow of your fireplace hearth – found right inside your Castle Wood cottage, we don’t see any compelling reason to forsake these “suite” accommodations!

Highlights

With rates starting at an astonishingly low $75, you don’t have to break the bank to have a truly romantic Big Bear vacation at Castle Wood Cottages!

With the deep blue waters of Big Bear Lake stealing most of the spotlight, it’s easy to forget that Southern California’s quintessential mountain town was first famous for its Gold Rush roots. Fortunately, our No. 4 spot offers a look back into this Southern California city’s history on your Big Bear vacation!

Honey Bear Lodge has cornered the market on Big Bear lodge rooms, cabins and private homes that let you live the authentic mountain lifestyle on your California vacation. Cozy rooms feature rustic touches like plaid bedspreads and wood-burning fireplaces accented with stone mantles. And a select few of these Big Bear accommodations even include en-suite spas, an inspired end to any evening, especially when paired with some of the most spectacular mountain views in all of Southern California. But it was Honey Bear Lodge’s historic tours – a must for those looking to experience the spirited essence of this mountain town – that earned it our vote for most authentic Big Bear mountain getaway. At Honey Bear Lodge, stepping back in time is as easy as stepping up into a full-size stagecoach, courtesy of Bear Valley Stage Lines.
