Gold Mountain Manor is a historic log home bed and breakfast in the pines of Big Bear City, offering seven individually themed guestrooms with two designated for dogs. The Ted Ducey Suite and Cozy Pine are both on the main floor, which means you can step right outside with your dog without navigating stairs or hallways. Dogs of any size are welcome in these pet-friendly rooms for $40 per pet per night, capped at $120 for your entire stay.

The property has an off-leash area on the grounds where your dog can roam freely, though they need to stay leashed in common areas, on the wraparound veranda, and in the garden. You’re responsible for cleanup and any damage, and dogs can’t be left unattended in the rooms — something to keep in mind if you’re planning full days out on the trails.

The main house feels genuinely lived-in, with a game room and complimentary snacks available. A full breakfast is included each morning, which is a nice touch when you’re heading out early to explore. The location works well for a dog-friendly mountain base camp. Big Bear Lake itself is just minutes away, and you’ve got easy access to local hiking trails in the surrounding forest. After a day of walking around town or hitting the trails, that wraparound veranda is a good spot to decompress with your dog.

The owners take the pet policies seriously — they ask that guests respect the rules about where dogs can go and what cleanup looks like. If you’re planning to book, check goldmountainmanor.com or call ahead to confirm availability in the pet-friendly rooms, especially during peak season when those two spots fill quickly.
