About this property
2mins to the Lake + Pool Table | Castle Glen Estate Neighborhood | Linaker Lodge
Welcome to Linaker, an AvantStay home!
This luxurious mountain retreat is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive Castle Glen Estate region of Big Bear. The retreat emphasizes mountain living at its finest and is the perfect family/friends getaway throughout the year. The owners spared no expense in designing this impressive open-style lodge encompassing over 3500 feet of living space. The lodge boasts a very large central family great room complete with vaulted ceilings, relaxing sofas, a 60” smart TV, and an oversized dining table easily accommodating 8 guests. There is a newly renovated oversized gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and modern stainless steel appliances catering to any kitchen enthusiast. An additional entertainment room with a log cabin style bar, regulation-sized pool table, and another 60” smart TV only adds to the functionality. There are four bedrooms including a wonderful master suite with a fireplace, soaking tub, and large screen plasma TV. Two additional bedrooms with queen size beds as well as a fourth bedroom complete with two combination twin/full log cabin style bunk beds make this home the ultimate escape for multiple families and friends to share.
Just minutes away from all activities including the ski slopes, Big Bear Lake, hiking, fishing, golfing, the Big Bear zoo, and countless other activities. The home is close to the nearby central shopping center including a Starbucks, Vons and a number of restaurants. The newly renovated Big Bear Village with movie theaters and gourmet restaurants is just minutes away.
Only about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles, Big Bear Lake is a beautiful and convenient break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This nature lover’s paradise provides endless year-round activities. In the winter, Big Bear Lake offers skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and tubing. In the summer, visitors love to play water sports, horseback rides, golf, hike, and mountain bike. Head to Big Bear when you need a healthy dose of fresh air, exercise, and rejuvenation.
