Veterans Park is an easy stroll from Big Bear Lake’s Village, so you can bed down anywhere from a lakefront boutique hotel to cozy, fireplace-warmed cabins. Book ASAP; festival weekend fills fast. Here are a few dog-friendly favorites within reach of the action, from modern retreats to wallet-friendly Village stays.
Lakefront Hotel Marina Riviera holds a prime lakeside stretch near the Village—every stylish room is lake facing. Amenities include a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, beach loungers and lakeside fire pits. Up to two dogs are welcome—no size limits—for a $100-per-pet fee, with treats waiting at check-in.
One block from both the lake and the Village, Sierra Blue Hotel & Swim Club mixes a freshly renovated, retro-modern vibe with an indoor heated pool and hot tub. The pet fee runs $60 per dog, and the front desk keeps biscuits ready.
Traveling with family or a crew? Bay Meadows Resort is an easy walk to the lake, with studio and multi-bedroom units boasting fireplaces and full kitchens ($30 pet fee). Right in the Village across from the water, Robinhood Resort has select pet-friendly rooms for a $25 stay fee—perfect if you’d rather walk to the festival than drive.
