Gold Rush Lodge is Big Bear's ultimate group escape — a 4,500 sq ft luxury log cabin built for 16. Arrive via a one-of-a-kind bridge driveway to find soaring ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a bear-themed game room packed with a pool table, dartboard, and bar. Soak in the private hot tub, then gather around the log dining table for a meal from the fully equipped kitchen. This is the Big Bear lodge groups come back to.
Spread across two levels, Gold Rush Lodge comfortably sleeps 16 across 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms in 4,500 sq ft of luxury mountain living. Soaring vaulted ceilings, rich log walls, and a grand stone fireplace set the tone the moment you walk in — this is no ordinary cabin.

Please note the house does not have A/C upstairs, only downstairs. It is usually not hot enough to be needed but we provide fans in case it gets a little warm.
