The Ultimate Mountain Hideaway | Private 3-Bedroom Retreat with Jacuzzi & Unforgettable Views
Some places invite you in.
Others take your breath away before you’ve even unpacked.
Hidden among majestic pines in one of Big Bear’s most exclusive mountain neighborhoods, Above the Pines is the kind of retreat guests quietly tell their friends about—but secretly hope no one else discovers.
Here, mornings begin with golden sunlight spilling across distant mountain peaks. Snowflakes drift silently past towering windows in winter, while summer evenings are filled with cool alpine breezes, the scent of pine, and skies brilliant with stars.
Inside, the home feels effortlessly welcoming. Soaring timber ceilings, a magnificent stone fireplace, and walls of glass frame breathtaking mountain vistas that become part of every conversation, every meal, and every quiet moment.
There is no rush here.
Coffee tastes better on the deck.
Dinner lingers long after sunset.
And every evening ends the same way—with a soak beneath the stars in your private mountainside jacuzzi as the lights of Big Bear sparkle in the distance.
Spend your days skiing world-class slopes, hiking through fragrant pine forests, kayaking on Big Bear Lake, browsing charming boutiques in The Village, or doing absolutely nothing at all.
Because sometimes the greatest luxury is having nowhere you need to be.
Whether you’re gathering generations of family, celebrating with friends, or escaping for a romantic mountain weekend, Above the Pines was created for unforgettable moments.
The kind that begin with “Remember when…”
…and become stories you’ll tell for years.

I’m so glad you’re considering Above the Pines for your Big Bear getaway.
I’ve always believed that the places we travel to become part of our life’s story. Some are simply destinations, while others become the backdrop for moments we’ll never forget—family holidays, weekend escapes with friends, anniversaries, laughter around the dinner table, and quiet mornings with nothing but the sound of the wind through the pines.
That’s exactly what I hope this home will be for you.
Above the Pines captured my heart because of its incredible sense of peace. Surrounded by majestic pines and breathtaking mountain views, it’s a place where you can truly slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of nature in every season.
Whether you’re skiing fresh powder, hiking scenic trails, exploring Big Bear Lake, or simply soaking in the jacuzzi beneath a sky filled with stars, my wish is that you’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning your next visit.
As your host, I believe the little details matter. I want your stay to feel effortless from the moment you arrive, and I’m always happy to share recommendations for local favorites, hidden gems, and experiences that make Big Bear so special.
Thank you for considering my home. I hope it becomes one of those places you’ll always look forward to returning to.
Warmly,
Kristina
Why they chose this property
One of the things I love most about this neighborhood is that it offers the best of both worlds. Nestled among towering pines in a peaceful mountain setting, it feels wonderfully secluded, yet you’re only minutes from everything that makes Big Bear such a special destination.
In less than five minutes, you can be strolling through Big Bear Village, exploring charming boutiques, enjoying live music, sipping coffee at a local café, or choosing from an incredible variety of restaurants—from casual mountain favorites to upscale dining.
Adventure is always close by. Spend the day skiing or snowboarding at Snow Summit or Bear Mountain, boating or paddleboarding on Big Bear Lake, hiking scenic forest trails, golfing, fishing, or enjoying seasonal festivals and events throughout the year.
Then, when the day is done, return to the peace and quiet of Above the Pines, where the only sounds are the gentle breeze through the pines and the stillness of the mountains. It’s a place where you can enjoy all the excitement Big Bear has to offer while retreating each evening to your own private sanctuary.
For me, that’s what makes this location so exceptional—close to everything, yet it feels a world away.
