Chris was wonderful and quick to answer questions. His home had everything that our family needed. The beds were very comfortable and the house was exceptionally clean.
This was our second stay in Chris’s home, and again, it was amazing! 4 minute drive to Snow Summit, kitchen ready for prepping easy homemade meals, plenty of room for our family of 6, and the game room is AWESOME! Highly recommend- it’s the only place we’ll stay for our quick ski trips! Chris is also a super friendly, responsive host! Just book it!
Our church used this cabin for our 3 pastors that were attending our annual men's retreat. It was very accommodating. Plenty of space, house was very clean and well furnished.Chris was an exceptional host making sure everything went well. (Thanks Chris)We would definitely book this cabin again.

Thanks Melinda! It was an honor and pleasure... please come again! (All four seasons are wonderful in Big Bear!)
The property was amazing. Not far at all from the village and grocery stores. We managed to hike at a couple locations nearby. The place was perfect for all of us and the kids loved it. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Thanks so much for the great review! We would be so happy to see you again... Summers are great in Big Bear too! Happy New Year!
This property could not possibly be better located if you plan to Ski at Big Bear. The house itself is very cozy and the game room is great for families. Would definitely stay again.
Great cabin for families - kids played outside in the snow and it was a short drive to ski. We really had a great time! Very clean and tidy.

Thanks, Jessica, and likewise... a real pleasure having you at Pine Cone Alley.
Chris provided excellent communication. The cabin was big, the yard was much bigger than it looked like in the photos, and the neighborhood was quiet. We had a very nice stay.

Thanks Melinda. Glad you had a great time, and we hope to see you back again... stay healthy, and have a Happy New Year!
The house was cozy and fit our group well. We stayed with another family and the loft was perfect for our kiddos. We all enjoyed the well-appointed & fun rec room! We loved the location - easy access to both mountains, close to Von’s and a short drive to the Village. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and great for walks.

Fun!
Seven adults fit comfortably in this great mountain cabin! We especially loved the game room and the air conditioning. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was immaculate. We really enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend this house.

Thanks for the wonderful review! We certainly hope you'll consider coming back to stay at Pine Cone Alley... either next summer, or during the ski season!
The game table in the game room didn’t work and small things like lack of paper towels were not ideal. The rest of our stay was great.

Hi Michael, Sorry again about the game machine... after learning of your issue, our local property manager went to see what the issue was... the on-off switch on the side of themachine was set to "off". Not sure what happened with the paper towels... we always leave a full COSTCO roll of Paper Towels on the kitchen counter and at least two rolls if TP in each of the three bathrooms. We also do have our local managers, Jorge and Irene, always available should anything not be 100% up to snuff. We aim for total customer satisfaction, and applogize if your stay was any less than excellent.
The property was absolutely perfect. The game room enabled us to relive our childhood days of PacMan and Shuffleboard. The home was clean, cool and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need. Looking forward to our next stay!

About the host
Hosted by Christopher E. Molinari
While we live in Los Angeles with our two kids, we are East Coasters who grew up with four seasons. Even though the weather in LA leaves little to complain about, we regretted that our children had never enjoyed a single snow day. So we started looking for a cabin in the mountains. We were looking for an escape from the city where we could reconnect with nature and all four seasons. We found everything we wanted and more at Pine Cone Alley! We hope you will enjoy your stay . It is our home-away-from-home, and has become our refuge from our hectic Los Angeles life. We're hopeful it will do the same for you!-
The Molinari Family
Why they chose this property
We looked for a mountain cabin for years. (As a residential real estate broker, looking at properties comes natural.) We realized Big Bear offers so more than anywhere else.. as It truly is a year round community, with friendly people.. We added the 2nd bathroom and the laundry room to the loft. It was a great addition, as it enhances that fantastic loft for the kids!
We also built the 600+ sq ft rec room over the garage, and put a third bathroom in there too. It is so nice for families to have the separate space the rec room adds. All of the high end games make for lasting family memories.
What makes this property unique
Wonderful curb appeal with original Big Bear cabin charm in a fantastic location! A woodsy private lot, yet walking distance to shops and restaurants. Cozy mountain comfort, a fabulous detached recreation room, and all the modern necessities... including newly added central AC and force air Heat in the main cabin! Plus new leather sofas, new high-end SS appliances. Plus, a fenced dog run on the side of the cabin where your best friend can conduct business.
