Inn Details
The historic Big Bear landmark Knickerbocker Mansion Country Inn was originally built by the 1st damkeeper of the Big Bear Lake Dam in 1920. This magnificently restored unique log private home and carriage house is now a well known B & B with rustic elegance, a quite atmosphere and personal attention from the innkeepers. Two historic buildings with guest rooms sitting on 2.5 private heavily treed acres backing to the national forest, yet walking distance to the Village of Big Bear Lake. Complete conference facility and full restaurant(open on weekends). The moment you arrive you will realize the Knickerbocker is a very special place.

It's true, the owners seemed a bit aloof but were nice enough. Did not eat dinner there but breakfast was good. I paid half price for the room on a deal (Living Social) but would not go back at full price.

My husband and I stayed at the Knickerbocker Mansion for a few nights at Christmas, and we absolutely loved our stay. The room was small but very cozy, everything was very clean and comfortable. We were welcomed by Stan one of the Inn keeper and he made sure we had everything we needed the whole time we were there. We decided to have dinner on Chritmas night at the restaurant on the premises and we were not disappointed. The food prepared by Thomas (the other inn keeper), was outstanding and paired beautifuly with the variety of wines on their list. My husband who has been working in the food and wine industry for the last 15 years was in heaven. Everything about the Knickerbocker was welcoming and charming and we loved the holiday decorations all over the premises. We will definetely be back to this B&B only a few hours from Los Angeles.

This was our second trip to the Knickerbocker and was once again fantastic! Stanley and Thomas are great! Breakfasts outstanding! We stayed in the Carriage House and it is wonderful, even a place for the kids to sled!
Absolutely Amazing!
