Accommodations
THE LUCKY BALDWIN ROOM
In this rustic log cabin room, you'll feel like Lucky Baldwin himself. There is turn of the century log siding and a weathered pine floor. An antique handhewn bed is covered with plaid flannel and a rock hearth made from stones gathered in Gold Mountain proudly displays an antique franklin stove. Queen bed and ceiling fan. Private Bath.
BOUQUET ROOM
Quaint and charming, this gabled, floral patterned room with blonde pine floors was Bessie's favorite. In the Bouquet Room, her love for flowers is celebrated in brightly colored stencils of jasmine, roses and tulips. The brick fireplace continues the theme with handpainted ceramic tiles of garden vegetables, and the queen size antique bed is made of turn of the century twisted cane oak. Private bath featuring a claw foot tub.
THE CLARK GABLE ROOM
In the 30's, Clark Gable brought Carole Lombard, his beautiful new wife, to Big Bear for their honeymoon. Legend holds that the amorous couple stocked their room full of firewood, lit a fire in the old Franklin Stove, then never left their room. If only that stove could talk, what tales it could tell! Because in this spacious blue and mauve room, we have the very fireplace that witnessed great love, and while you and your sweetheart relax in our queen size antique French walnut bed with hand carved roses, and gaze at the stenciled ceilings, that stove might learn some new love stories. Private bath with an old fashioned claw foot tub.

Bessie and Alexander Barrett built Gold Mountain Manor. This room is dedicated to Bessie. A deluxe room offering antique white wicker furniture, which graces a handwoven wool rug, and on the ceiling, hand painted flowers complete the mood.
