The Space:
This is the layout of the house.
Oak Pines Lodge is a warm, well-equipped Big Bear chalet designed for families and groups who want comfort, fun, and the mountains right outside the door. Two living rooms mean there's always space for everyone — whether that's game night, movie night, or just spreading out after a long day on the slopes. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a wraparound deck make the most of the pine-framed mountain views.

Bedroom 1 — Master suite with king bed, private en-suite bathroom (soaking tub + shower), and private balcony

The Neighborhood:
Oak Pines Lodge sits on Columbine Drive in Big Bear City — a quiet, residential area wrapped in tall pines and mountain air. The neighborhood is peaceful and genuinely local-feeling: no tourist noise, no crowds, just the kind of stillness that resets you the moment you arrive.
From the deck you get exactly the kind of pine-framed mountain panorama that makes Big Bear worth the drive. Bear Mountain is just 2 miles away, Snow Summit 4 miles, and the whole valley is yours to explore.
