You've heard about the Alpenhorn on KKLA, and I recently got to check out this amazing bed-and-breakfast at Big Bear for myself. After rolling in after a long drive and being welcomed by Linda (the wonderful owner) and a huge array of dried fruits, nuts, sweets, and warm beverages, I immediately decided that I never wanted to leave! Everything is open and spacious yet cozy (think high ceilings and lots of warm wood and fireplaces), and there are massage chairs in the living room. 
There's also a HUGE movie library, amazing food (they make their own granola, which is the best I have ever tasted), and gorgeous rooms (we stayed in the Primrose, complete with giant fireplace and double jacuzzi tub). Check out these pics, and then check out their site: http://www.alpenhorn.com 
Plus, the Alpenhorn is just minutes away from the slopes of Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. My hubby and I met up with some friends for a day at Summit, and had the BEST time doing just about every run on the mountain. Lift lines are short, there's a great variety of runs (which is nice for different ability levels in your group), and the weather was bee-yoo-tee--full!!! Think 65 degrees and sunny (we were boarding in sweatshirts), with really nice snow.
