A Four-Season Mountain Town in Southern California
Big Bear Lake sits at 6,752 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains — Southern California's premier alpine escape, two hours from Los Angeles and a world away from the freeways. The town wraps around a seven-mile lake at the base of two ski resorts, with national forest in every direction.
Colorado Lodge is at the heart of it. We're a boutique mountain lodge on a quiet residential street less than a mile from Snow Summit, less than a mile from Big Bear Village, and a short drive to the water. Quiet enough that you'll hear the wind in the pines from your back porch — close enough that you can walk to dinner.
Minutes from Everything
Every Season Has Its Moment
Big Bear is a year-round destination — not just a winter town.
Winter
November — March
Skiing and snowboarding at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, both within a few minutes. Night skiing under the lights. Cozy up by C4's wood-burning fireplace after a day on the slopes.
Spring
March — May
Wildflower hikes, mountain biking as the trails thaw, and quiet mornings on the yoga deck. Off-peak rates and fewer crowds — Big Bear's best-kept secret.
Summer
June — September
Kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake, mountain biking, hiking, and dinner on your cabin's back porch. Big Bear Village concerts and Fourth of July on the water.
Fall
September — November
Golden foliage, crisp mountain air, and the hot tub under turning leaves. Oktoberfest, trail running events, and the quiet beauty of Big Bear before the snow.
What Sets This Location Apart
Colorado Lodge isn't just in Big Bear — it's in the part of Big Bear that does the work for you.
Walking distance to the Village. Most Big Bear cabins are a 10-minute drive from anything. We're less than a mile from the Village shops, restaurants, and weekend concerts.
Walking distance to Snow Summit. Less than a mile from the lifts. Ski boots on at the cabin, walk over, ski all day, walk back. No parking lot drama.
Pet-friendly with room to roam. Two pets per cabin — dogs and cats both welcome. Rare in Big Bear, where most rentals cap at one or none. Plus dog-friendly trails, a gourmet dog bakery, and a dog park within a mile for your pup.
Group lodging for every occasion. Six cabins on one property means corporate retreats, wellness weekends, friend trips, and small weddings can book the whole lodge.
Major event home base. Big Bear hosts the Tour de Big Bear, Spartan Race, Kodiak Marathon, Pro Downhill Series, and the Big Bear Yoga Festival. We're the easy walk-to-everything home base.
24-hour personalized guest service. Real humans, not chatbots. Rated 9.0+ across every platform with 1,272+ reviews.
