HISTORY OF STILLWELL’S RESORT
Stillwell’s Resort at Big Bear Lake opened in 1921 with great fanfare. According to the local newspaper, “At least 500 persons enjoyed the evening at the opening which will be long remembered in the valley by Mr. and Mrs. Stillwell’s guests.” In addition to a large rustic ballroom, Stillwell’s had guest cottages, a restaurant, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a swimming beach, and a boat landing.
Movie stars and production staffs often stayed at the resort while filming in the Big Bear area. Stillwell’s ballroom burned down in 1928, and a second more modern structure suffered the same fate in 1945. The resort was located at the site of the present-day Blue Whale Lakeside Restaurant.
