Mountain calls, and it’s time to answer. The towns in the San Bernardino Mountains—including Big Bear, Arrowhead, and the surrounding areas—have always been iconic mountain escapes, especially for Angelenos looking to retreat from the rat race. But this winter, it’s even more apropos to retreat to the region, as hospitality pros are rebounding from a punishing storm season in 2022. Here are some places to visit during your winter vacation, from boutique hotels to local sundries to bottle shops and grocers that offer bespoke homegoods.
Hotel Marina Riviera
The lodge was originally constructed in 1968. This Viking-inspired lodge is situated right at the edge of Big Bear Lake.
