We had an amazing stay here! Communicating with the hosts was easy and everyone (both children and adults) in our large group loved the space and activities that were provided. The small details really made our stay so convenient and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Big Bear,
The house was super clean! this was the icing on top because it makes the trip more comfortable when the cabin is clean. House is spacious and love that they had things for the kids to do. Beds were made with lots of blankets and also extra blankets in case we needed them. Beautiful place and a lot of amenities. thank you!
We do this annual family big bear trip where our mom loves to stay in the same house with everyone. But it’s so hard to find that kind of space. But then, we found the castle! This house was amazing, clean and everyone had their own space which was the most important since we all have little ones who take naps and have bedtime routines. Every room has a bathroom! The pink master had blackout curtains which sleep training moms know is a game changer. One of the best rentals we’ve stayed at ever size wise and amenities wise. Loved it!
This place offers so much comfort, privacy and warmth that you just do not want to go anywhere outside! The blankets and sheets were liked by everybody in our group. The hot water fawcet to make tea was the cure for my cold !!! Thank you Kori for being so attentive to our requests. My family is already asking me when we are going back!
The Host was very welcoming and helpful! The amenities definitely met and exceeded our expectations! The rooms having their own en suite was awesome! We enjoyed the pool table, arcade games and poker table. The large tables in the house were great to gather as a family and play games, eat and do puzzles. The place was very clean and had everything we needed and more. There was so much room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves! A perfect place for our family to get together to have fun and relax! Also, a close proximity to the ski slopes and Village. There was also a jacuzzi but we didn’t get a chance to use it! But it looked very nice.
Property was beautiful, very clean. The policies were laid out very clearly and the owners were responsive to questions. Our group enjoyed the pool table and board games. It was a great stay!
This beautiful home was the highlight of our trip! Loved the location, only 5 minutes from the grocery store and slopes. Fast replies to any questions we had prior to our stay. Would definitely stay here again! Everyone enjoyed their stay.

Thank you we enjoyed hosting you, you were great guests.
We stayed at this house while vacationing in Big Bear for a family wedding. It was great! It’s a beautiful house, clean, very attentive property manager, and plenty of space for big groups.
Booked this property for a family snowboarding trip and it was perfect. All bedrooms except for the kids room have their own dedicated bathroom. The amenities were great, the hosts are very kind and responsive, and the property was very comfortable and inviting. It is also a very short drive to the slopes which was very convenient.
Had a terrific week with our extended family and this was the perfect property. Tons of space, tasteful, and completely functional. Would strongly recommend.

Thank you for such a great review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
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!!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the castle. The home is so beautiful and well kept.
Kori, thank you for all your assistance and courtesies. We look forward to visiting again.
Sincerely

Beautiful Big Bear Getaway
My family and I spent our winter holiday at this exquisite chateau. The rental was beautifully decorated and very well kept. All of the rooms were very spacious and the kitchen is a chef's dream. The location of the property is conveniently located close to the ski resorts, dining and grocery stores. We will definitely be back for a future stay.

We are glad you had a great time, thank you for the positive review
We are a group of 14 individuals who came up for a staff retreat from a hospital in orange county. We got a chance to walk around in the beautiful scenery, have some good meals together, watch movies, play pool. The location was peaceful and wonderful.
We will definitely be back.
Such a. Beautiful home. The pictures on listing don’t do this house justice. Very comfy and feeling like home. Bedding was very nice and smelled fresh. Would definitely stay again.
We had a great time! The house was beautiful and was perfect for our large group. Walking distance to the lake. Scott was immediately accessible the one and only time I needed anything. We look forward to our next trip to beautiful Big Bear.

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. ✨🏔️

📍 Prime Big Bear Location
Close to the lake, ski resorts, The Village, hiking trails, and local attractions One of the most beautiful and distinctive cabins in Big Bear ❤️ 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. 🏰✨
