Conveniently located in the heart of Big Bear, our cozy single-story cabin sits on a flat, easily accessible lot and offers comfort, charm, and all the modern amenities you need for a relaxing getaway.

You'll be just a short walk to the Big Bear Lake Marina, where you can rent boats, kayaks, and paddleboards. Prefer shopping and dining? The Village—with its restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops—is just a few minutes away. In the winter, you’re only a short drive from both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain ski resorts.

Inside, Whispering Pines Lodge is designed for comfort and connection. The cabin features central heating and air conditioning to keep you cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. The spacious living area includes a wood-burning fireplace, a Wii gaming console, and a wide selection of board games and puzzles—perfect for fun-filled nights in with family or friends.

We’ve recently added brand-new beds and carpeting to enhance your comfort during your stay. And yes—your pets are welcome too! The cabin includes a fully fenced yard, so your furry family members can enjoy the mountain air safely.

Whispering Pines Lodge is more than a cabin—it's your home away from home in the mountains. Whether you're here to hike, ski, fish, shop, or simply relax, you’ll find everything you need right here. VRR-2024-0338

The cabin was very nice and very clean. It was 5 minutes from the village. The furniture was very comfortable and decorations were very cute. Kitchen was very well stocked and the bathrooms included toiletries.

Quiet and well equipped

We enjoyed our stay very much. Appreciated the fenced yard for both kids and our dog. A short walk to the lake, the sunset was beautiful. The kitchen had all the appliances and coffee makers we needed. Looking forward to returning in the summer.

Overall a good stay

The cabin overall was pretty nice. The outdoor furniture in the front is not usable and actually destroyed, and the back patio furniture was pretty dirty and dusty, and the hammock was broken. The inside overall was good, I think the cabin needs a deep clean, there was dead flies and dust in the windows and a bit of an ant problem. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nice and accommodating. Overall I would recommend the cabin, but took a star off for the cleanliness

Family healing. There were 5 adults a 10 year old and a service dog. The cabin was perfect for our m

The owner of the cabin is one of the nicest people I have dealt with. He is a terrific communicator and extremely caring. I would love to have him as a neighbor. The manager, John, was also a fast responder and very nice. A wonderful experience.

Nice time…

Looking for a cool get away from Phoenix and this place fit the bill. Clean, quiet and had everything needed to feel at home. Big Bear had a quaint downtown and a lot of things to do. Recommend the Big Bear Queen for a nice boat tour with a history of the man made lake.

Amazing Property - Felt like home

I am going to make this short and sweet..... We absolutely loved the property. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, we had plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The awesome kitchen had everything we needed to cook some amazing meals and the living/dining area were perfect with the open concept layout. The outdoor space is nice too with a fenced in yard, grill, firepit and hammock for just relaxing. It really felt like being home. The area is nice too, although one neighbor had a dog that seemingly barked at everything. It's nice, quiet and not too far from the Village or other the main street that goes through Big Bear. We are 100% looking to book this place again if we go back to Big Bear. Also, the WIFI worked great!!
