Walk to the Lake! Hot Tub, Game Room, Fire Pit | Pinetree Place by AvantStay

Welcome to Pinetree Place, your ultimate group retreat nestled in the heart of Big Bear! This three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin perfectly blends mountain charm with modern convenience, offering a cozy yet spacious getaway designed for families, friends, and remote workers alike.

Just minutes from Big Bear Lake, you'll have easy access to all the lake's seasonal activities. Whether you're boating, kayaking, fishing, or enjoying a lakeside picnic, Big Bear Lake is the perfect spot for relaxation and adventure. And with its proximity to Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, this home offers the best of both worlds for summer lake activities and winter skiing.

At Pinetree Place, the stunning backyard is your personal slice of mountain heaven. Enjoy cool mountain evenings with friends and family gathered around the firepit, unwind in the hot tub under the stars, or fire up the deluxe grill for an al fresco feast at the outdoor dining area.

Inside, the home welcomes you with dual living areas: one centered around a large TV for movie nights and the other offering a cozy spot near the fireplace for quiet conversations. The open-concept dining area and kitchen, complete with a full suite of modern appliances, make group meals a breeze. And for game lovers, the downstairs game room—complete with a pool table, ping pong, and foosball—is sure to be a hit.

Heading upstairs, the lofted area offers a quiet desk space for remote workers and students, while the additional twin beds (2) and twin trundles (2) provide flexibility for extra guests. The primary suite boasts a California king bed and ensuite bathroom, while two guest rooms, each with queen-size beds, ensure everyone is comfortable.

With in-home laundry and convenient parking, Pinetree Place is a seamless blend of adventure and comfort, making it your go-to escape for your next Big Bear getaway!

This was one of the most impressive cabins we’ve ever stayed at in big bear. Very well kept and the whole process was super smooth. Love that it was pet friendly. So rare. Most places look the part online but this one checks out. Only wish it had a second spare half bath downstairs. But it was what we expected and more.

Thank you for such a glowing review! We're so happy to hear the cabin lived up to — and even exceeded — what you saw online, and that the entire process felt seamless from start to finish. It's especially nice to know the pet-friendly setup made the trip easier for everyone in your group. We appreciate the note about an additional half bath downstairs as well, and we'll keep that in mind. We'd love to welcome you and your pups back to Big Bear anytime!

Very beautiful cabin in a quiet, cozy neighborhood. Hot tub could have been turned on to heat a bit sooner to be used the first night after a long drive, but it was a great property. The heated, furnished garage with games was a plus… our teenager stayed in there the whole stay pretty much. Lots of kitchen amenities and cozy gas fireplaces/heating to take the cool chill off.

This place is great. Great location, great house with all the listed amenities. Check in was smooth and all communication was spot on.There were a few cobwebs here and there. The top for the hot tub was falling apart and, although I didn't have a test kit with me, I'm nearly positive that the chemicals weren't quite right in the hot tub water. It just kinda had a funny smell, not the chlorine smell normally associated with hot tubs.I would stay here again.

So glad the home was such a great spot with that smooth check-in and on-point communication! Really appreciate you flagging the cobwebs and especially the hot tub cover and water — we'll get those passed along to the team right away so they can be addressed. Hope to welcome you back anytime!

Fabulous Family Getaway

This was such a lovely home and we had a great family trip. The place is super clean and I am super picky so I would never just say that. The pictures in the listing are accurate. I love the big window and the view was very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything with this place was wonderful. It felt clean with the perfect combination of rustic cabin and modern amenities. The huge fully insulated and finished garage made for an awesome game room. There's a heater but we didn't even need it it didn't get cold in there. We would definitely go back
