| Big Bear Resort
had its humble beginnings as a fisherman's campground
in 1948. Located in the Big Bear Embayment of Kentucky
Lake, at the point of Malcom and Bear Creek, Big
Bear Resort provides anglers with one of the best points
on the lake for fishing. Owned and operated by Rick and
Janet Caldemeyer Meier since 1971, the resort embodies
an old-fashion family vacation with modern amenities.
Many memories of tackle-bearing anglers stepping up to
the old marina and bait shop to rent one of the jon boats,
which were put out each morning, still reside in the minds
of those who share their fond fishing experiences at Big
Bear with their grandchildren. |
Many
remember fun-filled vacations as children at Big Bear:
fishing, swimming, camping and outdoor fun and more!.
They remember the rolling woodlands in which they camped
; the restaurant once located next to the office, in
which they dined; and, of course, the countless tales
of the 'Big One' which sometimes didn't
get away.
Now, upon
bringing their own children to Big Bear, much has changed
and much has remained the same. Your hosts, the Meiers,
continually strive for excellence in your vacation experience.
Today the 52 acres of woodland lakefront splendor feature
the best and modern conveniences on the lake; such as,
cottages, townhomes, condos and villas. Big Bear Marina
provides boat rentals, guide services, bait, tackle,
gas, snacks, ice and gifts.
We would like to thank all of
our guests for all the wonderful years you gave us at
Big Bear and warmly welcome our new quests. |

The
History of the Log Cabin
The Log
Cabin was originally owned by Rosabell and Tom Threlkeld.
They moved the cabin to Big Bear back when it was
owned by Mr. McFarland. When he later sold it to the
Housers the Threlkelds decided to sell the cabin to
them as well.
Special
thanks to Bettie (Threlkeld) and Tom Poland of Danville,
KY for the information and pictures.
