This property was amazing! Beautifully furnished and decorated! It was very clean, and neat. Well, equipped, kitchen and appliances! Toddler and one-year-old, with supervision, enjoyed the playground immensely. Terrific follow up on any questions or concerns. We’ve loved our stay here the last two years. And hope to come in the future, also. Eleven family members from ages 1 to 90 enjoyed our reunion time together and made wonderful memories together!!

About the host

Hosted by Kori

🏰 The Big Bear Castle was born from a simple idea: that every season should have a place to call home. Inspired by the grand mountain lodges of the past, it was imagined as a gathering place where summers would be spent chasing golden sunsets across the lake, autumn would paint the forests in brilliant shades of gold and crimson, winters would bring fresh snow and nights by the fire, and spring would awaken the mountains with wildflowers and new adventures.

For generations, mountain homes have been where families reconnect, old friends reunite, and new traditions begin. The Big Bear Castle was created to carry on that spirit—a place where mornings start with coffee overlooking the pines, afternoons are filled with hiking, boating, skiing, or exploring the village, and evenings end under a sky full of stars.

No matter when you visit, every season writes a different chapter, giving you one more reason to come back and make The Big Bear Castle part of your own family story. ✨🏔️

❤️ A Home Built for Gathering

The Big Bear Castle isn't just another vacation rental—it's our family's mountain home. We purchased it because we needed a place large enough to bring together our growing family, creating memories around the fireplace, on the porches, and after long days exploring the mountains.

We also host occasional corporate retreats. As a professional facilitator, I designed the great room to be a welcoming space where people can connect, collaborate, and build lasting relationships.

For most of the year, this is where our family celebrates holidays and special occasions. We're only making it available during select times—such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and popular ski weekends—when we know we won't be able to enjoy it ourselves.

We truly care about this home and hope every guest experiences the same warmth, comfort, and unforgettable moments that have made The Big Bear Castle so special to our family. 🏔️✨

What makes this property unique

The front porches were what first stole our hearts, along with the grand entrance framed by custom wrought iron doors. The curb appeal is simply unforgettable—elegant, inviting, and unlike any other cabin in Big Bear.

Inside, we set out to create something truly special. Rather than follow the traditional rustic cabin style, we designed a modern mountain masterpiece. Every detail was carefully selected and upgraded, from the natural stone finishes and designer fixtures in the kitchen, coffee and wine bar, and bathrooms, to the premium flooring, custom lighting, and even the drapery. The result is a home that feels luxurious, timeless, and worthy of the memories made inside it. 🏰✨
