We just booked the Gold Mountain Manor for our wedding and are so excited! Can't review that yet - but as for a hotel / weekend trip, this place is perfect. The owners are so kind, and Toni, their manager / housekeeper is lovely! The breakfast was AMAZING. Looking forward to coming back! read more

The setting is beautiful. The breakfast was wonderful. The grounds are well cared for. The location is close to town but far enough out of town. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The accomodations were clean, cozy, authentic, comfortable, restful, peaceful... read more

Beautiful rooms, property, location, and service. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the breakfast which pretty disappointing. Overall, I recommend this bed and breakfast! read more

Needed a last minute self care getaway with myself so of course I turn to yelp to help me find a destination. I booked at the gold mountain manor from being so captured by their location. Tuesday morning i jumped in my car and sped to big bear. Parked in the back and once upon arrival I knew this was great idea. Tony welcomed me and man the pictures were exactly what they posted. I was so fortunate to have the place to myself for a night. The next day I met Amy and she was so lovely. Made a parfait and then simple blue berry pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. Amy was really great to talk to made you feel like family. I'm obviously going through things and she made me feel welcomed. My last day for checkout had a great home made breakfast again by Amy. Gold mountain manor was best first bed and breakfast experiences I've had. Will be back next chance I'm able to get away from my reality. Side note- establishment is very clean the owners and the employees are great on communication. Thank you guys again! read more

Gold Mountain Manor is a hidden gem in Big Bear! Toni (the manager) greeted us with warmth and hospitality. Darrin (the owner) is very hands-on and even helped prepare one of our breakfasts! The cozy cabin feel always makes us feel right at home. The common areas are beautifully decorated! The gardens provide a way to relax and unwind. The home-cooked breakfast and warm conversations are a delightful way to start the day! Gold Mountain Manor is one of our favorite get-away destinations! read more

Almost 100 year old slice of history. Very well kept and maintained manor with all the comforts of today's living. Very clean, super friendly owners and Toni, all with a can do attitude, generous with a wonderful breakfast and 24 hour tea or snacks, and a very good vibe. Nice community at breakfast before exploring Big Bear. Very quiet and tranquil. We re-booked at checkout for another stay in Fall. read more

Best stay in Big Bear!!!! Would stay here again and again. My husband and I had such a great time staying here. Best service and Breakfast.

The wife and I spent this last weekend with the new owners of Gold Mountain Manor. This was our first foray into a full Bed and Breakfast stay, and let me tell you, Darrin and Amy know what they're doing! We're told that the decor hasn't changed much, though the rooms do have new smart TVs, and their WiFi is strong throughout. The Presidential Suit has a huge two-person tub in front of the fireplace. We didn't use the fireplace due to the heat, though it was stocked and ready for us. The tub was awesome! The wife took six baths over our three day stay! The grounds are wonderfully manicured and our time spent there was filled with watching a couple of robins, a couple of rabbits, and a bunch of chipmunks and squirrels. It was so relaxing to sit back and watch them all scurry around! This was a wonderful weekend at a wonderful B&B! We will definitely be back many times for years to come! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful two-night stay in the Clark Gable room and have since booked the entire house for Christmas this year for the entire family! The house is old but beautiful, very well kept, clean, and has a great history! Every room has a private bathroom which was a nice plus. The morning full breakfast service and food was excellent and was served outside on the large wrap around porch. What a way to start the day! There are snacks and hot coffee/cocoa in the guest kitchen for mid-day (or night) munchies. The Village is a short drive away and the surrounding area is beautiful and fun to explore. The hosts, Darrin & Amy, are wonderful people and live close by. We found them to be very accommodating and quick to respond to any inquiries. Can't wait until Christmas to share this experience with our family! Thank you, Darrin & Amy and your staff! read more

What a funky, nice place to stay. Toni was fun and unobtrusive, and sitting on the porch for breakfast was terrific. We're sorry they ran out of propane the second morning, but we sat outside once again to read before we left. We spent most of our full day there reading in their Adirondack chairs in their pretty front yard with tall, beautiful trees and many places to sit. Our bed was very comfortable and the place was quiet. We wish the owners a very successful future! read more

Very comfortable, the host was super friendly. It was a pleasure to stay here and we will definitely go back. Breakfast was yummy and the ground were beautiful. We stayed in the Presidential suite, the bed was very comfortable and enjoyed the big bathtub. read more

My husband surprised me for my birthday and brought me to the coziest and most charming Bed and Breakfast! I absolutely loved every minute of being in our room! We had the President Suite and it was beautiful! The whole manor was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The hosts were extremely gracious! The food was delicious! Just stepping into the manor and seeing all the history it entails was breathtaking! The manor always smelled fresh! Lots of snacks and coffees and teas. Games were never ending. Thank you Darrin for a wonderful time! We can't wait to be back! read more

AMAZING! Went and spent the weekend for my niece's wedding. I cannot express enough for this beautiful location. Amy and Darrin, the owners were absolutely fantastic! It rained, they were so accommodating. It couldn't be helped but they did everything they could to take care of us! A wonderful weekend! The hospitality can't be beat. I would HIGHLY recommend this location for your wedding of event. Thank You!! read more

I attended a summer wedding here and I totally get the quaint feel of the place. It totally feels like the cute cabin in the woods that you see in movies but with that rustic charm, creaking floorboards and some mustiness comes along with it. The staff was very accommodating and they even had homemade cookies for the guest that stayed. I think it was the owner (?) but she got the wedding party settled in well and with the craziness of things, I was very surprised that things ran fairly smoothly. The venue for the wedding was beautiful and picture perfect. Since it is outdoors, prepare bug spray as little things will crowd around your ankles and such. For guests that stayed overnight, those needing of assistance to walk up stairs or elderly should definitely stay downstairs. For those in wheelchairs, you'll need to be carried. The stairs to the upper rooms are very steep, narrow and the steps are fairly small. The rooms downstairs has steps up and down so be prepared for that. Wifi is available and given at the front desk/kitchen area but I was not able to log on. If the weather is hot, there isn't central AC but a fan is available in the rooms. Final Thoughts: I'm that one crazy person that has watched one too many ghost movies, creeped myself out but I love the old mountain feel of this place. This definitely is a beautiful place for a small wedding and pictures here come out beautifully (especially with the lighting and sun rays peeking through the trees) read more

Friendly and hospitable service. Nice and cozy atmosphere. Pretty quite place which surrounded by pine trees. Clean room (we choose Cozy Pine). Everything what you need to spend good times with your family. Chess, table games, books, billiard. Nice patio and backyard.

I have loved this historic landmark and enjoyed various stays here for well over 20 years. During that time, I've had the pleasure of getting to know the various owners who've made their own adjustments and changes to its original blueprint. The manor's storied history is glamorous and steeped in classic Hollywood lore... Which I won't bore you with - since you can find it easily on their website or by researching any number of articles written about this stunning log cabin mansion. What I will share is that it has many modern conveniences that have been added over the years, and still makes for a pleasurable, cozy, romantic getaway - whether as a couple, or just trying to get away from every day cares on a solo adventure. The reason for the four stars is that sadly, it did seem during our last stay just prior to covid, the overall condition had slid a bit. Various items were in slight disrepair, and we could tell that certain things had not been kept up since a previous stay (again, this was just prior to covid, and the mansion was bustling with weddings and fully-booked weekends). This gorgeous property so deserves guests and tlc!! Maintaining quality is of course incredibly challenging with a landmark structure; we hope a bit more will be put back into the overall upkeep of this stunning structure. But be that as it may - the homemade breakfasts are always top notch, there's always snacks and hors d'oeuvres and a lovely happy hour, several wood-burning fireplaces to keep the place warm and cozy with the smell of pine and cedar, and the charm of the property and its manor cannot be emphasized enough. Oh! And there are also adjacent A-frame cozy cabins surrounding the property for extended family and friends days; at last visit, guest staying in those adjacent cabins are also welcome to various amenities inside the manor! Warm thanks. read more

Our stay at Gold Mountain Manor was wonderful. It is a warm and relaxing place.Darrin and Amy were excellent hosts. I highly recommend Gold Mountain Manor for your next stay in Big Bear. read more

This was our second stay after coming up in October and the second time around did not disappoint. Amy and Darrin make everyone feel at home as soon as you step inside. We loved that they remembered us from our first visit. We stayed in the Cozy Pine room this time and it was cozy. We also loved that they are dog friendly, as we brought up our greyhound rescue, Indy. The staff was so welcoming not only to us, but to our dog. Indy made herself right at home. Breakfast is served everyday and we throughly enjoyed our Valentine's Day breakfast of stuffed French toast. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much Amy and Darrin! Love, Vanessa, Scott, and Indy read more

Beware the House of Horrors. My son and I made a rsv at this hotel because it advertises itself as a 4 star property. We had the most terrible experience we've ever had at a hotel. The lobby smells like wet rags, the beds are very uncomfortable, sheets and towels are old and smelly, windows are all painted shut. There is no one from management on premises. We arrived to a locked house and hat to call the owner, Darrin, to come from his own house to let us in. At night the front door is open and unlocked. But all this is the good part. The bad part is the owners. I texted Darrin in the morning after our first stay and asked if he would refund the second night if we left early. He said he wouldn't. He asked why we wanted to leave early. I told him the accommodations we disappointing for a 4 star bed and breakfast. Next thing I know he has sent me a text at 8:00 am telling me to leave within ten minutes or he will call the sherif. Checkout is at 11:00, and since he wasn't going to refund our second night we had no intention of leaving. His wife came up knocking frantically on my door and came into the room and yelled, asking us to leave, meanwhile saying I would get no refund. I had to call the police because we felt so unsafe there. In the end we left before checkout time and they said no refund on anything at all. read more

What an amazing place to stay!! This is how you do big bear. Quiet, quaint with the kindest staff. The place is beautifully decorated and all the rooms are unique. They're close to the lake and village but trust me, you won't want to leave the cabin! Cute little game area, couple different sitting areas, all the fire places you can ask for, beautiful wrap around porch and even a kitchen area with complimentary snacks and coffee. Breakfast was delicious too. You can tell the place is really cared for. We just left and we are planning our trip for Christmas! Thank you again!! read more

I am writing from a vendor perspective ( Wedding Photographer) I shot a wedding here around August of 2016 for the lovely Nick and Amy. The owner/manager of this place was so nice and super informational. I arrived and she showed me around the premises and even showed me a wilderness spot a few blocks behind the actual venue where I was able to capture some amazing " in the middle of nowhere" type photos. The venue itself is gorgeous rustic chic. You are also able to rent the cabin area and stay as well. So is a venue and vacation spot all in one. If you are a laid back couple who loves and appreciates nature then this is the spot to get married at! read more

My fiancée and I stayed here during a weekend trip before the second shutdown. The owners are very sweet and want to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need-and more! The breakfasts are seriously gourmet and better than most restaurant breakfasts you can buy. They post the menu the night before so you can get excited! Waking up to crisp mountain air with a cooked breakfast-are you kidding?!! It's a dream! We stayed in the Ted Ducey Suite and it was so clean, so cozy and just a great room overall for us. Thank you for such a nice stay and we'll be back for sure! read more

Wow! First off Betsy and her staff were amazing, we got married here May 18,2019. The grounds were beautiful, all of our guest wouldn't stop raving how pretty everything was.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding venue to look into this location. (An extra plus is if you have any type of event here your photos will be gorgeous!) thank you again to Betsy & team! Can't wait to come here again read more

The best place to stay in Big Bear! My husband and I have been to many bed and breakfasts, and this is on the top of the list. They have wonderful service, big tasty breakfasts, a fun game room, amazing bed rooms, gracious hosts, and you can use their firewood in your room and in the main rooms. They have snacks available 24/7 along with coffee, tea and hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. They've really put a lot of effort into the details and making sure you have everything you could possibly want, down to providing an extra fridge for guests, a whole kitchenette with microwave and sink, glasses, and plastic silverware and plates. We rarely left the house because we loved it so much. We had dinner there and had so much fun playing their games and watching the fire. COVID precautions were taken and the place was very clean. Great place to unplug and reconnect. read more

I recently attended a wedding here and I would say the venue is absolutely amazing. The staff was very attentive and beyond generous. They were so sweet and helpful throughout the entire event. There wasn't coffee being served at the wedding and one of the staff members went out of her way to grab our pastor's wife a coffee. If that's not excellent service I don't know what is. The bed and breakfast itself was beyond gorgeous for that rustic feel. Everything was perfect. I would totally recommend this place for a beautiful rustic wedding. read more

We just had our wedding at Gold Mountain Manor this past weekend, and I cannot begin to express how happy I was with the whole entire weekend. Obviously the whole venue is absolutely adorable. My family spent a lot of time in Big Bear when I was growing up, and there was no where else I could see myself getting married. In my opinion, Gold Mountain Manor is the best wedding venue in Big Bear! When we went to see the Manor it was under about 3 feet of snow in the middle of winter. Cathy gave us the tour and described what everything would look like during July. I couldn't have been any happier. The Manor likes to do a breakfast the morning of the wedding and the morning after. I thought it was so cool to get all of my family members and friends together the morning of my big day. Everyone loved breakfast, and it was the perfect start to the big day. If you book your wedding here use the vendors that they suggest! Erik Redmond was an amazing DJ, and had everyone dancing the whole night. Little Green House already knew what would work perfectly with the venue for the flowers. Renee at the Barn Storm is a hoot, and the food was amazing! Cathy is leaving a great place to Bessie (the new owner)! Bessie and her husband are the sweetest people, and I am so glad to see good people take it over! Thank you again for letting us use your B&B! It was absolutely perfect! read more

This was our first bed n breakfast experience and I can say it deserves an "A+" rating. From check in to check out, Betsy, the owner was so friendly, warm and professional all at the same time. We felt like we were staying with family and the guests are all so respectful of one another. We stayed in the Clark Gable room, which was so fun! From the throwback 1940s cabin feel to the upgraded fireplace in room and comfy bedding, it was such a relaxing retreat to come "home" to after a day on the slopes. The breakfast was also DELICIOUS! Every day the options were so good I didn't even take pictures because I chowed down! The grounds are clean, kept up nicely and provide that woodsy feel that everyone looking for a mountain getaway from nearby LA city life is yearning for. Highly recommend! read more
