Big Bear Cabin Your Mountain Getaway 4 bd/4 bath with outdoor hot tub

Welcome to Big Bear Cabin — Your Mountain Getaway on the Mogollon Rim!

Escape to Big Bear Cabin, a spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom retreat perfectly nestled among the tall pines of Pinetop-Lakeside, just a mile from Rainbow Lake. Whether you’re seeking a cool summer escape or a cozy winter getaway, this cabin offers comfort, charm, and all the amenities of home — plus a brand-new hot tub to unwind under the stars.

With 2,700 sq. ft. of living space, Big Bear Cabin is ideal for two families or larger groups. The home features:

4 bedrooms (2 kings and 2 queens) plus 2 additional queen beds in the loft

Two master suites upstairs, each with private bathrooms

A fully equipped kitchen and large dining area

Wraparound deck with outdoor seating — perfect for morning coffee or evening grilling

Step outside the dining area through the double patio doors and enjoy Pinetop’s cool mountain air on the spacious deck. Inside, relax by the stone fireplace, sink into the oversized sofa, or enjoy a soak in the Jacuzzi tub after a day of hiking, fishing, or skiing.

Located just 30 miles from Sunrise Ski Resort, this home offers easy access to year-round activities — hiking, fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, sledding, and off-roading. You’re close to great restaurants, shops, and entertainment, yet still tucked away enough to enjoy the peace and seclusion of the forest.

There’s plenty of parking, including a two-car garage for vehicles and ski gear. Whether you’re visiting for outdoor adventure or quiet relaxation, Big Bear Cabin is your perfect mountain home away from home.

Feels like home

We enjoyed the large open spaces. This house is not fancy. That is what we loved best about it. Wish we could have stayed longer. There are a few things that are in need of fixing. The carpet is stained in a few places. This is someone's home that they have loved and have shared with us. We are grateful. Thank you for letting us stay. We will definitely be back.

Tons of space for a big group.

The house had tons of sleeping space, bathrooms, and hang-out space. A great wrap-around porch to enjoy the pines. We were 8 adults and felt totally comfortable in the house. The communication for arrival and departure was clear and personable. We're already planning our trip for next year.

Dated but felt like Home

This was our 1st annual family reunion with our kids and grandkids - big enough to handle our crew of 14, and the grandkids loved it. Nestled in the pine trees, and even saw a bear! We plan on going back next year for round two. Owners are great to work with, and had everything needed to enjoy a week away from the rat race.

Fantastic

What a wonderful experience. This was our first experience using VRBO and we will continue using this service. This home is clean bright and lots of room for all of us. We totally enjoyed the large pine trees and the wrap around porch. Our family from the oldest to the youngest really enjoyed our time t the Big Bear Cabin. The owners were very friendly and answer any of our questions promptly. We will stay here again.

Loved it

I spent most of my summers growing up in the white mountains, so we're always looking for ways to visit from Texas. We loved the charm and quirks of the cabin. Its very close to the best parts of Pinetop, and we had a blast at Sunrise skiing.

Great place to stay

We just spent four days at this cabin. We had 14 people there and there was so much room for all of us. It was great as it snowed over the weekend we were there. The cabin had all of the essentials that were needed

A great thanksgiving

My family and I would like to thank mr K for letting us enjoy a memorable thanksgiving in his cabin. The only thing we could complain about is there was no snow. My family had a great time and enjoyed some quality time together.

Lots of room and great when you have a group all preparing for a wedding! Four full bathrooms is a bonus! A little dated, but comfortable. If you like your bed very firm, they are great.

Big Bear Was Awesome!

If you need to house a large family in a great location, Big Bear Cabin will work for you. We loved using the large wrap around porch for morning coffee and to wait out those beautiful summer rainstorms. We loved the short drives needed to shop, hike, or play golf. We totally enjoyed talking to the neighbors as well. Everything worked as advertised and we lacked for nothing. Even what we considered to be a small luxury item for our stay was added with a simple phone call to Dave. Can't thank you enough for a wonderful two weeks!

Jonathan G.

Good but not great.

The house all in all was fine. However it was overrated in my opinion. The upstairs window unit stopped working the night we arrived, the upstairs bathtub was incredibly slow to drain, the ceiling fan in the main room didn't work, the toilet seat in one of the upstairs bathrooms was broken, and other small things we found were disappointing. There were basically only two rooms in the house which were cool enough to be in especially later in the day when it was warmest outside. We enjoyed the woods and many trails close by and in general, Pinetop was nice. Dave was very responsive to emails leading up to our stay and I appreciated his communication. However, for the price of the rental, I would have hoped/expected it to be in better condition and a more comfortable stay.

Great weekend out of the heat

We come to this area every July and have rented a few different places, this is our favorite so far. It may need a little updating, but this was a great location with plenty of room for our group of 12. Having four bathrooms was especially helpful, we never ran out of hot water, and the window AC units in the upstairs rooms were a nice addition. David was quick to respond when we couldn't get the lockbox open (operator error). Beds are a bit on the firm side (which we know is a matter of personal preference, can't please everyone when it comes to beds), we are glad we bring our memoryfoam topppers when we travel by car. We will definitley be booking again!

Nice location with lots of room

We had a mini family vacation over the 4th of July weekend. We had 6 adults and 8 young children. We loved being so close to the forest, both out front and in the back yard, but easy to get to. The best thing was how much space there was - plenty of bedding and bathrooms for everyone. The house could use a little upgrading, but it worked fine for us. We did have some Wifi issues, but David was willing to work with us regarding this. Owners were very responsive to requests and concerns.

Big bear cabin

2015 came to show low for a tournament and decided for this year I would rent a cabin and bring the family. Mr K was extremely helpful in making this all possible for us. This cabin was awesome, plenty of room for everybody. It is in a prime location close to everything but has the feel of a cabin in the woods. The kids enjoyed everything the cabin had to offer and the older folks did as well. Even the casino that is 20 minutes away. I would recommend if your looking for a place to enjoy some well deserved time away from the city and heat, this is place where you need to be. (Big bear cabin). Thank you Mr K for a wonderful Memorial Day

Great Place

We were 2 families and rented the house to share -- 4 adults, 4 kids. The property was great. Lots of space for everyone and having a separate TV area for the kids was wonderful. It was also great to have so many bathrooms!! The owner was very responsive, and we would definitely rent this house again.
