Colorado Lodge

In the midst of the SoCal summer heat, I found myself with a four-day empty stretch on my calendar. Usually, I like to go to Colorado for relief from the heat, but lacking either the time or funds for a Colorado trip, I hoped that the "Colorado Lodge" might substitute. I wasn't disappointed. For most of my stay, I sat on the porch of my little cabin home and listened to nothing but the wind in the pines. Very therapeutic. The interior of my cabin was clean and well-appointed. I had everything I needed including excellent WiFi. From an aesthetic standpoint, I'll admit that it was a little incongruous to step from the woodsy exterior into a modern, minimalist interior. But I DID like the fact that this cabin was scrupulously clean and NOT equipped with critters from the woodsy outside, as so many mountain cabins are. Caveat: the cabins and their picnic tables are separated from one another, but not by a great distance. So if you're here on a weekend, you might end up listening to your neighbors' multi-family parties. Until 2 AM. But midweek, this place was a paradise for me. I'll be back. Midweek. :-)

This cozy cabin in Big Bear was the exact getaway I needed from Los Angeles. The decor was modern and cozy, and I felt right at home. Loved the jacuzzi, full kitchen, and recommendations of local spots to walk to. Highly recommend as a solo trip or with a group. Any time of year is perfect: cozy up in winter or grill outside in the summer!

Cannot wait to return to the Colorado Lodge and make more memories! I loved the private jacuzzi, bonfire pit to make s'mores, and all of the amenities inside the cabin. I also really liked that it was about a 5 min drive to Big Bear Lake and also near Big Bear Lake Village.
