About this property

Pinecone Cabin, Summer Special

PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM AGE TO RENT PINECONE CABIN IS 25.

3.5 MILES FROM SNOW SUMMIT. Charming 2 bedroom cabin (queen bed in downstairs bedroom, king bed in loft) 1 bathroom with toilet & shower. Big front patio with BBQ, outdoor dining set, gas fire pit and heat lamp. Back yard completely fenced and very private for hot tubbing. We supply enough wood for the indoor fireplace for your first night.

Close to the heart of Big Bear Lake. Scenic walk to the Village (1.7 miles) where you can go wine tasting, try the local breweries, splurge on fine dining or a variety of Mom & Pop eateries, catch a movie, see a concert and shop for all tastes - collectibles, casual and high end clothing, unique gifts, jewelry and much more. The Alpine Slide, tubing and marina are also just a walk away.

Other places that are close and FUN are Snow Summit (3.5 miles), Bear Mountain (5.2 miles), the golf course, Moonridge Zoo (4.2 miles) and tons of hiking trails. You can also book a zipline tour!

We love the cabin feel with all the wood. We enjoy sitting out on the front deck having coffee and listening to the quiet. We love how close to everything it is.

We had a great stay at the pinecone cabin. Check in was easy, and the cabin is in a central location, great for getting anywhere around the city or lake. Yard was great for our dogs and the driveway is paved for easy access to the property.

Cozy Spring Cabin Getaway in Big Bear Lake We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin in Big Bear Lake! It was the perfect getaway for us (2 adults and our puppy), and honestly, it could comfortably fit up to 4 people.The cabin had everything we needed — the kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to cook meals, and we especially loved using the grill. The indoor fireplace made the space feel extra warm and inviting, and there was even a heater for those colder moments.One of our favorite parts was the backyard, which was perfect for our puppy to run around and enjoy. The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and very walkable, with super friendly neighbors that made us feel right at home.The location was also a huge plus — just a short distance to the village, shops, and Bear Marina, so everything was easily accessible.The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which we really appreciated.Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend this cabin. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Nice cabin in central area close to the town.Jacuzzi was very nice addition.Place could use little more care found to many bugs in the bedroom. Would be nice to do away with cleaning fees since you need to clean kitchen and throw your own garbage away per the rules which is 2 miles away.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 September 2025
Being immersed in nature in Big Bear, we to come across an occasional spider or fly, but the image you shared of the "bug" (only one bug) wasn't even an image taken at our property. As far as removing your trash, that is a city ordinance in Big Bear Lake required of any / all people who rent homes in the area. We must abide by the city ordinance or we lose our license. And truthfully, cleaning up your own mess in the kitchen before you leave is a very common requirement in vacation home rentals. We do expect our guests to treat our homes with respect. We are sorry that did not please you, but the rules are very clearly stated in our Renter Agreement that must be signed before checking in to our cabins and homes. If cleaning up your kitchen mess and removing your own trash is an issue for you, then we're not sure why you would sign the agreement. We strive to take very good care of our guests and it is a shame that you feel your experience was less than top rated.

We enjoyed ourselves so much in Big Bear and found the cabin so cute and cozy! We would rebook for sure! Just something’s to note: It took us a little bit to realize the WiFi password was in the binder, the shower didn’t seem like it had been cleaned, it could be stained - thankfully we brought shower shoes, the solar lights didn’t work in the backyard - so it was dark - thankfully we brought a flashlight, and the coffee makers were both dirty/had water scale.

We had a wonderful stay overall!Highlights: We loved the cozy wood‑burning fireplace and the amazing jacuzzi. The location was perfect—close to both the town and the lake. The heater kept the cabin warm, the Keurig worked great, and Nancy was so kind and flexible with our arrival time, which we really appreciated.A few small notes for future travelers: The bathroom is quite small if you're sharing it with four people, and the fan doesn’t work. The kitchen could use some standard‑size bowls—we found ourselves eating cereal and salads out of oversized, mismatched ones—so you might want to bring a few if that matters to you. The shower also has very low water pressure.Before our trip, I couldn’t confirm whether the cabin had a hair dryer, pasta strainer, or blender, so I packed my own. It turns out the cabin has all three!

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

As a regular VRBO client, I've come to find what really sets most properties apart is how they're maintained and managed. Nancy is an absolutely fantastic host and the easy communication with her prior to our stay, and her considerate check-in during the stay made all the difference. The cabin itself is wonderful, of course. Many amenities and small touches that really made us feel welcome. But it was truly the exceptional service from our host that impressed us. We will be back for sure!

Why they chose this property

Easy entry and great deck. The fenced in back yard is perfect for dogs.

What makes this property unique

Fenced in back yard. No stairs entry.
