Our Story


Nestled among the towering pines of Big Bear, Fox Big Bear Lodge stands as a testament to family, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of adventure. This century-old cabin, once weathered by time, has been lovingly reimagined into a retreat where stories are made and memories take root.

Our dad—visionary, builder, and dreamer—purchased the lodge in 2022 with a purpose beyond just restoration. He saw it as an opportunity to honor his roots, a chance to bring family together the way they always had: by building something great. With his father and brother by his side, the three of them embarked on a journey that was as much about preserving the past as it was about creating something new.

Growing up, they built everything together—treehouses in the backyard, forts in the living room, and eventually, real homes with their own hands. This lodge became one of their biggest projects yet, a place where their shared love for craftsmanship could shine. Every beam, every floorboard, and every stone in the fireplace tells a story of long hours, careful hands, and the laughter of three men working side by side.

Fox Big Bear Lodge is more than just a cabin; it's a home filled with history, warmth, and a deep connection to the land. Whether you're gathered around the fire with loved ones, watching the snow blanket the mountains, or stepping out to explore the serene beauty of Big Bear, you’re stepping into a space built with heart.

This is more than a getaway—it’s a legacy, crafted by family, for families. Welcome to Fox Big Bear Lodge.
