Big Bear, California is a small mountain city nestled within the San Bernardino National Forest. With a large gorgeous lake, family-friendly ski resort and quaint village center, Big Bear makes for a fantastic weekend getaway. It is one of the few places near Los Angeles and Orange Counties that have snow in the winter.
What screams mountain escape more than a quiet stay in a cozy cabin? While there are an abundance of options, I have put together five awesome Big Bear Airbnb rentals that are spacious for a family or group of friends with excellent locations close to all of Big Bear’s best attractions.
