Noon Lodge Big Bear Lake, California
There’s something about spending the day in Big Bear’s rugged terrain that begs for a night’s stay in a cozy cabin. The answer is Noon Lodge, built in the early 1950s. The sixteen cabins and grounds were totally revamped several years ago when the current owners bought the property. The décor is heavy on the cozy, nostalgic, mountain-hideaway vibes with rustic exposed wood, working fireplaces (in most cabins), and dark reds, blues, and greys. The draw here is the community the setup encourages. The cabins surround a central outdoor fireplace where you can spend the evening sitting on the Adirondack chairs, sipping hot cocoa, and chatting with your neighbors.
