Life offers so many opportunities to celebrate and make memories with our loved ones. Big Falls Lodge is an ideal place for family reunions, friend reunions, christenings, bridal and baby showers, engagement parties, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, anniversaries, and even celebrations of life for the dearly departed.

Our four-seasons location in the San Bernardino Mountains makes Big Falls Lodge a uniquely beautiful venue for holiday events. Host an Easter Egg hunt among pink Spring blossoms and daffodils, a Fourth of July Americana fest, a Fall feast as the leaves turn russet and gold, or a winter holiday party by the fire with snow falling outside the picture windows.
