About this property

Pinecone Cabin, Holiday Specials!

PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM AGE TO RENT PINECONE CABIN IS 25.

3.5 MILES FROM SNOW SUMMIT. Charming 2 bedroom cabin (queen bed in downstairs bedroom, king bed in loft) 1 bathroom with toilet & shower. Big front patio with BBQ, outdoor dining set, gas fire pit and heat lamp. Back yard completely fenced and very private for hot tubbing. We supply enough wood for the indoor fireplace for your first night.

Close to the heart of Big Bear Lake. Scenic walk to the Village (1.7 miles) where you can go wine tasting, try the local breweries, splurge on fine dining or a variety of Mom & Pop eateries, catch a movie, see a concert and shop for all tastes - collectibles, casual and high end clothing, unique gifts, jewelry and much more. The Alpine Slide, tubing and marina are also just a walk away.

Other places that are close and FUN are Snow Summit (3.5 miles), Bear Mountain (5.2 miles), the golf course, Moonridge Zoo (4.2 miles) and tons of hiking trails. You can also book a zipline tour!

We love the cabin feel with all the wood. We enjoy sitting out on the front deck having coffee and listening to the quiet. We love how close to everything it is.

Nice cabin in central area close to the town.Jacuzzi was very nice addition.Place could use little more care found to many bugs in the bedroom. Would be nice to do away with cleaning fees since you need to clean kitchen and throw your own garbage away per the rules which is 2 miles away.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Nice to have a wood burning fireplace.A few minor complaints:1. The red handles on the kitchen tongs fell off.2. There was no night table on the left side of the bed. It was a tall narrow dresser.3. The USB charging cable on the multiple device charger on the right side night table did not work. I used my own charging cable and the outlet worked fine.4. The towels were uncomfortably close to the toilet.5. There was an insufficient number of bowls for four people, but there were only two of us so not a problem for this stay.

Pine one cabin was everything we hoped

Absolutely adorable cabin located in a really great area. Our host Nancy was incredibly flexible as we had to change our dates. She was on-top of everything, very communicative and just an all-around great host. We would love to come back some day and we would definitely stay at Pinecone cabin again.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

As a regular VRBO client, I've come to find what really sets most properties apart is how they're maintained and managed. Nancy is an absolutely fantastic host and the easy communication with her prior to our stay, and her considerate check-in during the stay made all the difference. The cabin itself is wonderful, of course. Many amenities and small touches that really made us feel welcome. But it was truly the exceptional service from our host that impressed us. We will be back for sure!

We stayed here in late September/early October 2025 and would definitely recommend it for a family of four or fewer. The neighborhood was extremely quiet—most of the nearby homes seemed to be rentals or not regularly lived in. It felt peaceful and private. The only minor drawback was the next-door neighbor’s dog, which barked for about five minutes each morning around 6:45 a.m.—not a big issue if you’re an early riser or used to that.**Highlights we loved:*** Affordable* Relaxing hot tub with amazing night time star viewing and cool LED lights* Cozy bedrooms and a very clean cabin* Helpful host who quickly answered all our questions* Great fenced yard (dog-friendly with poop trash cans, scooper, and raised water bowl provided)* Outdoor features: grill, fire pit, gas fire table, and front deck* Heater worked well for the chilly nights* Large TCL Smart TV for downtime* Well-equipped kitchen for basic cooking needs*Walking distance to Holloway's boat rentals and the lake*Friendly neighbors and business owners around town*Convenience store in walking distanceAreas that could be improved:* Shower head is quite low (I’m 5’6" and had to duck a bit) and water temperature was tricky to adjust* Lighting throughout the house was very dim, especially in the kitchen and bottom bedroom* Rugs posed a bit of a tripping hazardOverall, this was a cozy, dog-friendly getaway with lots of thoughtful touches and a very peaceful setting. We’d be happy to stay again!

Relaxing little cabin

We enjoyed our stay here. I was a bit confused by the original listing. In the beginning the map location shows walking distance to Summit, However the cabin is miles from Summit. The cabin is clean and we enjoyed the hot tub.

Nice Quaint Cabin

My wife and I stayed with our doggies. The entire front deck and back yard are fenced so we could let the animals roam with no worries. The property is only a five minute walk from Halloway Bay so that was nice. There are 2 outdoor fire pits and a gas grill, and the propane was fully stocked. Clean and cozy, just the way we like it.

We lived in lake Arrowhead for 25 years and loved it but we needed a flat entry. When we found this cabin we knew it was perfect for us. We only want to use it during the summer so we decided to rent it out during the winter.

Why they chose this property

Easy entry and great deck. The fenced in back yard is perfect for dogs.

What makes this property unique

Fenced in back yard. No stairs entry.
