Backpacker Hostel
Our cozy hostel in the Village of Big Bear Lake has spectacular views of the lake and surrounding National Forest. We are within 5 minutes of Southern California's 2 best ski/snowboard resorts:
1 mile from Snow Summit
2 miles from Bear Mountain
Big Bear Lake, California is a mountain paradise 60 miles east of Los Angeles (2 hours drive) in the San Bernardino National Forest.
The hostel is centrally located downtown with a beautiful view of the lake across the street. The bus stops at the corner and you can walk to shops, pubs, movie theaters, visitor center, fast food, restaurants, tourist shops, arcade, the lake, kayak rentals, bike rentals, fishing, snowplay/slide hill, lakeside parks, hiking trails, mountain bike trails, pool hall, jet ski rentals, boat tours and more!
Hostels are a great way to travel on a budget and meet new people. Many Americans are new to hostels. Basically, you rent a bed in a dormitory with other people or rent a private room, and you share the rest of the lodge/hostel (kitchen, living room, bathrooms)with other guests. Being considerate and open minded is a must. You are sure to make some new friends!
Chill out at our easy-going hostel after a day of play in the mountains and enjoy our huge party deck w/BBQ overlooking the lake, or take in some sun in our grassy backyard garden. We have free WIFI, coin laundry, no curfew, free linens, 2 kitchens, free parking and lots of good times. Come play with us!
