Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Big Bear Lake and City, Big Bear Boarding is more than a collection of cabins – it’s a testament to passion, adventure, and the love for mountain living.
Our story began in 2014 when Theresa, captivated by the charm of Big Bear during a Fourth of July holiday, embarked on a journey that would redefine our lives. What started with an adorable cabin retreat soon evolved into a commitment to offer guests not just accommodations but a genuine experience of the Southern California mountains. From our first cabin, aptly named Big Bear Boarding House, to the addition of Elm Lodge and Monterey Mountain House, each reflects our dedication to creating a haven where play and relaxation harmonize. Rooted in our love for lakes, adventure, and genuine hospitality, Big Bear Boarding invites you to step into a story where every stay embodies the spirit of mountain living and the warmth of a true getaway.
