When You Stay with Big Bear Lakefront Cabins, You Help Save Big Bear’s Wildlife
Most people visit Big Bear to escape the city and reconnect with nature. But what if your vacation could actually help protect that very nature? At Big Bear Lakefront Cabins, it now does, thanks to our new partnership with Kind Traveler and the Friends of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo.
As part of our commitment to sustainable and responsible travel, we’re thrilled to offer guests the opportunity to #TravelKindly. Every night you stay in one of our vacation cabins, $1 is donated directly to the Friends of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, helping fund animal rescue, rehabilitation, and educational outreach. That means your cozy mountain escape isn’t just good for you, it’s good for the wildlife that call Big Bear home.
Who Are the Friends of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo?
The Friends of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo are the nonprofit champions behind the scenes, working year-round to care for rescued and rehabilitated animals. From injured hawks and mountain lions to orphaned bears, the zoo is a haven for native wildlife that need a second chance.
Some animals recover and are released back into the wild. Others, due to permanent injuries or loss of survival skills, remain in the zoo as ambassadors for their species. Through engaging programs like Bear Awareness Day, Twilight Safari, and Boo at the Zoo, the Friends help educate visitors of all ages about the importance of Big Bear wildlife conservation.
Your Positive Impact
Thanks to our partnership with Kind Traveler, your stay helps:
-
Provide food and care for injured and orphaned animals
-
Support habitat upgrades and veterinary care
-
