Big Bear Lake in southern California is a mountain resort area surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest. The area is thick with oaks and pines, creating a wildlife haven. The freshwater lake is 7 miles long, providing ample opportunities for fishing, boating and water sports. Outdoor activities include camping, horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, skiing and golf. Shopping and dining is available, and lodging choices include many lakefront cabins.
This company rents out over 300 properties, 11 of which are fully equipped cabins located on the lake by Shores Acre Lodge. Each has a fully equipped kitchen and a barbecue. Some are also pet-friendly; a cabin providing for pets can be requested either online or by phone with a reservation, and a $10 per day additional fee. Cabins are cleaned before and after your stay, and are provided with fresh linens and towels.
