Pinehaven Retreat has the kind of classic Big Bear cabin feel that settles you the moment you walk in — warm wood ceilings, a couple of fireplaces, and easygoing gathering spaces beneath the pines. It sits close to Big Bear Lake, Snow Summit, Bear Mountain, and The Village, putting a full slate of mountain adventure within easy reach year-round.
The main living area is made for slow mornings and unhurried nights. Vaulted wood ceilings rise over comfortable seating and a stone fireplace, with a TV set up for movie nights. Foosball and air hockey bring a playful streak for group stays, and the fully equipped kitchen and a dining table for six keep meals at home simple. Just off the main space, a bright sunroom makes a quiet spot for coffee, a book, or watching the woods do their thing.
Three bedrooms host families or groups with room to settle in. The primary has a queen bed, its own fireplace, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom holds two double beds, and the third has a twin-over-full bunk. A second full bath with a shower/tub combo keeps mornings moving for everyone.
Outside is where the cabin leans fully into mountain living. There's a hot tub, a fire table, a BBQ grill, a picnic table, and lounge seating strung with lights beneath the tall trees. Ski, hike, boat, or wander The Village during the day, then come back for dinner on the deck, a soak under the stars, or an easy night by the fire.
Winter ski weekends, summer days on the lake, or a quiet stretch in the woods — Pinehaven Retreat makes a comfortable Big Bear base whatever season pulls you outside.
