In a snow-starved Californian ski season, a 66-year-old snow-themed restaurant offers a perpetual winter escape. Clearman's North Woods Inn, nestled in San Gabriel Valley, boasts kitschy decor, stuffed bears, and affordable steaks.

Founded in 1958, it's a log cabin haven with hunting lodge vibes—complete with Tiffany-style chandeliers, taxidermy, and snowy scenes in stained glass.

The family-friendly spot, known for hefty portions, features copper pot-shaped menus and signature cheese bread. With loyal patrons decorating the place, the restaurant's enduring charm thrives, inviting celebrations within its log walls.

Amidst the Southern California heat, Clearman's remains a unique, timeless destination.
