Have stayed there several times. It's great for families and pets, BUT...
The owners need to put some money into it. Several things in our cabin were either broke or didn't work.

Our summer vacation memories at Golden Bear are all my son and his friends talk about. Our yearly weeklong trip to your resort seems to get better with each passing year, and we have gone every year for almost 20 years. We especially enjoyed the family movie nights on the big screen TV at the pool. The resort amenities and cabins are constantly ...

Why do we see so many unhappy people ranting on the Internet in the form of reviews?
I believe it is their human nature. So many people are much more likely to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to hurt someone or thing than we would normally take to compliment it. How may times have you written a review about the places you frequent the ...

We have stayed every year at thanksgiving for the past 9 years and have NEVER been overcharged or felt as though we were treated with dishonesty.

Once home, we did not get a chance to go over our credit card statement since it was around the Holidays and we ...

I started visiting Golden Bear With my grandparents when I was very young. I guess we have visited 20 or more times over the years. Our family has spent vacation time during every season. But, my favorite is the winter for snowboarding. We always try to stay in our favorite cozy cottage which is number 15. It has a great fireplace, a place to cook ...

We returned for another wonderful time over 4th of July weekend to Golden Bear Cottages in Big Bear, CA. The cabin was clean and decorated in quaint, country style charm. It had a fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, and a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. We found plenty to do, including the teenagers. We relaxed by the pool and enjoyed the playground ...
