Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
We're so glad you had a wonderful time at Birch Bear Lodge! It's a magical place with incredible views and once you are there in the cosy rooms with big picture windows or relaxing in the hot tub, you don't want to leave. It's just as fun in summer and fall when you can barbeque out on the deck, high above the trees and walk the nearby trails. Please come and visit again - the game room is waiting for another tournament! Thanks for writing and see you again soon!
This home was clean, comfortable and perfect for a family. Plenty of space for our family of four and the game room was a huge plus for the kids to have somewhere to play. The views in the pictures don't do it justice- just gorgeous. Jacline was accessible, friendly and very helpful. We'll definitely return!

Always great to hear about your fabulous time and we're happy to welcome you to the Lodge "family". Eating and relaxing on the decks watching the fabulous sunsets from the top of the mountain is what makes the Lodge so special. We're glad you enjoyed the separate Studio game room - lots of space, privacy and the views makes for a wonderful time. Thanks for writing and please come up again soon! Its an amazing place in snow season too!
Very nice and cozy home. Very clean, comfortable, everything was functioning. Our kids loved it. Great forest, lake and slopes view. In nicely secluded area, 5min drive from village, everything was simply perfect for our 5day stay to relax and reconnect

Beautiful, large lodge with amazing views and lots of amenities.
Three of my friends and I had a wonderful time over the weekend at Birch Bear Lodge. It's a 5 minute drive from the main road in Big Bear, has a separate building with ping pong and billiards, hot tub, fully furnished kitchen and gas grill. I will definitely be staying here again! Jacline is very friendly, available, and easy to work with.
Beautiful home that had everything ( and more) that you could possibly need. Entire family and little one had a wonderful time and will absolutely book again.
Thank you jacline !

Fantastic Trip with a Group!
We had the most wonderful time at the Birch Bear Lodge! We were three couples total and had plenty of room for relaxing, cooking, eating, playing and looking out at the gorgeous view! Would most definitely stay again. Jacline is a fantastic host - so friendly and helpful in every way. If there was a way to add an extra star I would! Thanks Birch Bear!
The two night stay over for my birthday weekend was not nearly long enough. This home is quite a find, unpretentious and super comfortable with everything a person could ever want.
What a pleasant oasis with spectacular views.
Absolutely on the top of my list to revisit.
We used every bit the house has to offer.

We loved our two-day stay at Birch Bear! This place had it all. Plenty of room for all our guests, great views of the mountainside, a cozy living space, comfortable sleeping arrangments a fun game room with its own bathroom and fireplace. And to top it off a beautiful outdoor jacuzzi tub. We even saw a shooting star while sitting in the tub! Can't beat this place or its proximity to Bear Mountain Resort. Jacline was super helpful and thorough with check-in and out procedures. We can't wait to stay here again!
