Field & Stream Lodge (Yes, the magazine and clothing company) is coming to Big Bear in 2028
A major hotel transformation is planned for Big Bear Lake.
Field & Stream Lodge Co. has announced plans to convert the former Holiday Inn Resort on Village Drive into a 148-room outdoor-themed lodge. The new Field & Stream Lodge Big Bear is expected to open in 2028.
Plans for the reimagined property include:
* 148 guest rooms and suites
* A restaurant
* Meeting and event space
* An outdoor swimming pool and hot tub
The hotel is within walking distance of Big Bear Lake and the Village, with convenient access to Big Bear Mountain Resort and the area’s outdoor attractions.
The Big Bear location will be the company’s third lodge. Field & Stream’s first property opened in Bozeman, Montana, and a second 151-room lodge is planned for Bend, Oregon, also opening in 2028.
Field & Stream Lodge Co. is a hospitality company inspired by the historic Field & Stream outdoor media brand. The company designs its properties as comfortable basecamps for travelers interested in fishing, skiing, hiking, mountain biking and other outdoor activities.
Additional information about the Big Bear renovation, construction schedule and potential operational changes has not yet been announced.
