where to stay in Big Bear Mountain?
We'd like to plan a long weekend get away, but we've never been and have no idea where to start the planning. ?Are there resorts/lodges or just cabins to rent? ?Is there a particular place you'd recommend or advise against based on your experiences?
?
thanks!?
Re: where to stay in Big Bear Mountain?
My DH and I were just there right before Thanksgiving (me for the first time).
We stayed at a B&B called the Alpenhorn. It was a very beautiful little place and they have large jacuzzis (sp?) in the bathrooms. However, we both agreed that next time we would probably prefer renting a cabin just so we would have more privacy (you know, not having to eat breakfast with everyone, make small talk, etc.) But I think that is a great place to start for your first time up there.
Unfortunately, I don't have any recs for cabins, but I think it is peak season right now, so things might be either booked or a little pricey, so I would check it out right away.
I have to say, DH and I are foodies, and the food on the mountain was very good. (Except for the IHOP! blech!) There is a little fancier restaurant called the Peppercorn Grille that was very good - DH loved their steak. Then there was a little hole in the wall BBQ place that was very good, but I can't think of the name right now.
Have fun!
I was going to say the Alpenhorn as well -we haven't stayed there but I've heard from several people that it's really nice.
A few years ago DH and I stayed at My Secret Garden (Our Secret Garden? The Secret Garden? something about a secret garden, anyway) It was a lovely little complex of one-bedroom cabins, each with a flower theme. The rooms had fireplaces and jacuzzi tubs, and they were very private. It was sort of far from the main drag, though, but I recall we still walked to a few places (though we went in the summer, I wouldn't walk through the snow!)
