Big Bear Lake is more than just an outdoor playground—it’s also one of Southern California’s most romantic mountain destinations. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise getaway, or just craving quality time with your partner, Big Bear offers cozy cabins, breathtaking views, and plenty of activities for two.
Here’s how to make the most of your romantic getaway, plus our favorite types of cabins for couples.
1. Choose a Cabin with Privacy and Charm
For a truly romantic atmosphere, look for cabins tucked among the pines with private decks, fireplaces, or hot tubs. Smaller properties often have a more intimate feel, giving you space to unwind without distractions.
2. Pick a Place with a View
Imagine waking up to sweeping mountain or lake views right from your bedroom window. Many Big Bear cabins offer large windows or outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy morning coffee together while soaking in the scenery.
3. Treat Yourselves to a Hot Tub
A private hot tub is one of the top-requested features for couples. Whether you’re relaxing under the afternoon sun or stargazing at night, it’s the perfect way to add a little luxury to your stay.
