This is a photo of one of our four King Rooms. They have all been completely redecorated in a modern country style and are very large. They have private baths and color TV's with cable. Some of these rooms have direct access onto the front porch.
This is our Living Room. The most popular gathering spot in the Inn. Get cozy by the big fireplace, curl up with a book, have a cocktail, play the piano or just relax and watch the giant screen TV.
This is one of our Standard Rooms. It was completely redecorated this year. In addition to the two double beds, the room is equipped with a private bath and color TV with cable. Many of these rooms have direct access onto the front porch.
This is our back yard. In addition to the heated swimmimg pool, deck, and picnic tables we also have a swing, horse-shoe pit, bocce and badminton areas. Feel free to pick the wild raspberries and blackberries!

Big Bears is located just 1500 ft from the Mount Snow ski area. A free shuttle bus stops in front of the lodge and takes you directly to the slopes and afterwards you can relax in our indoor hot tub or beside one of a large stone fireplaces. Big Bears specializes in group travel, family fun and family reunions and our 60 seat dinning area makes every event just right. Most guest rooms have been recently renovated. In summer months, relax in our outdoor heated pool or enjoy the park like setting of our yard complete with an enormous playground.

Very clean & host(s) were very nice. Room needs a nice chair not just desk & chair. They should put some of the photos lining the halls into rooms. I will come back.

Our Hosts, Steven, Caroline & Shelly, were very personable and at the same time professional. The Lodge is immaculate. The food & service couldn't be better. The hosts make you feel like you can really relax in their home. Great internet service. Lots of room in the common areas to relax. Our whole experience there was great. Sincerely, Barbara McLaughlin

4.6 out of 5Family Friendly Inn
October 17, 2008
This was a repeat visit to Big Bears Lodge for us. The lodge is family friendly, and is close to Mount Snow and to Adam's Family Farm. Rooms are clean, offer varying sizes (some have queen beds, bunk beds) and are an excellent value for the money. On the lower level there is a hot tub, a pool table and a nice kids room with plenty of toddler toys to keep them busy. There are also several common areas throughout the inn. The innkeepers do an excellent job at making sure you are satisfied with your stay. I would recommend Big Bears for families with kids and adults traveling as well.
