About
About Sunstone Big Bear Lodge
Sunstone Big Bear Lodge is a 40-acre private mountain property at 8,200 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California, with a postal address in Angelus Oaks and the Big Bear area as its home market. It hosts weddings for up to 200 guests, multi-day retreats and trainings for up to 40 participants, corporate offsites, and nightly lodging, with 40 people sleeping on site across Sunstone Lodge, four private cabins, and shared accommodation. Sunstone is the home of Sacred Sons, whose trainings and gatherings run on the property through the year.
Where is Sunstone?
Sunstone sits on 40 private acres at 8,200 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, bordered by the San Bernardino National Forest, with the Pacific Crest Trail running through the land and Cienaga Creek through the middle of it. The postal address is in Angelus Oaks, California. Big Bear proper is a short drive down the mountain, and Los Angeles is about 105 miles away.
Who is behind Sunstone?
Sunstone is hosted by the team behind Sacred Sons, a men’s organization whose Embodied Masculine Experience, Community Relational Training, Leadership Training weekends, Founders Circle, youth camps, and women’s Threshold gatherings take place on this land. Registration for Sacred Sons programs runs through sacredsons.com. Outside groups, couples, and companies book the same property directly through Sunstone.
What was the property before Sunstone?
The land has hosted weddings and gatherings for about twenty years. It previously operated as a wedding venue under the Cienaga Creek Ranch name, and it is now under new ownership and management as Sunstone Big Bear Lodge, with the property renewed and a dedicated hosting team on site.
Is Sunstone in Big Bear or Angelus Oaks?
Both descriptions are used. The postal address is Angelus Oaks, California, a mountain community in the San Bernardino National Forest. Big Bear is the nearest town of size and the name most guests know, so Sunstone describes itself as a Big Bear lodge while listing Angelus Oaks as its address.
