About this cabin rental

Shore Acres Lodge | Lakefront Group Retreat

Discover the charm of Shore Acres Lodge, a historic lakefront retreat set across two pine-shaded acres along the shoreline of Big Bear Lake. This unique cluster combines six private mountain-style cabins to accommodate up to 23 guests, making it an inviting destination for family reunions, group vacations, retreats, and gatherings. With breathtaking lake views, direct lake access, shared recreational amenities, and Big Bear Village and local marinas within walking distance, your group can experience an unforgettable mountain getaway in every season.

Originally known as Potters Camp in the early 1900s, Shore Acres has welcomed Big Bear travelers for generations while maintaining its rustic mountain character. Lodge renovations were completed in fall 2023, bringing refreshed comforts to this historic setting. Each cabin provides its own private accommodations, giving families, couples, and friends the opportunity to stay together on one property while still enjoying the added privacy and flexibility of individual cottages.

Spend your mornings taking in the views of Big Bear Lake or head just steps from the cabins to the shoreline. A seasonal shared boat dock and fishing area provide opportunities to enjoy the lake, while the summertime community swimming pool offers another place to cool off on weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Back on land, your group can enjoy horseshoes, volleyball, outdoor table tennis, and a kids swing set.

The spacious grounds provide plenty of opportunities to gather beneath the pines. Relax on the lake-view decks, spend time together around the group patio area, or enjoy an outdoor meal using the charcoal BBQ and large picnic area. High-speed Wi-Fi and flat-screen streaming TVs provide modern conveniences throughout your stay, while onsite trash disposal and ample flat year-round parking make larger group stays easier.

This six-cabin configuration includes the three-bedroom Lodge House plus five additional private cabins. Together, the cabins create a flexible setup for couples, families, and larger groups while allowing everyone to enjoy their own private sleeping spaces.

Best of all, Shore Acres Lodge places your group within walking distance of Big Bear Village and local marinas while keeping you directly along the lakefront. Pets are welcome with an additional fee, making this an especially convenient option for groups who want to bring their four-legged family members along for the adventure.

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2022
I wanted to find a place that could house multiple families; giving everybody privacy while still being grouped together. This property was able to check all those boxes given it was a group of cabins listed together and not too motel-like. The management of it was top notch; communication, checking in and responding to issues were all courteous and speedy. The issue was the cabins themselves. While cozy and had everything necessary, it’s really dated…. It’s really old. This place could really use a lot of updating, starting with the carpets, the bedding, walls, everything. I wanted the rustic cabin but I got more than I bargained for. Properly is right next to the lake and it’s really was a wonderful experience, If you can look past the dirty cushions and questionable bedding….and possibly a few bed bugs.
