About this property

Pinecone Cabin, Fall Specials!

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



    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.



    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.

We had a great stay at the pinecone cabin. Check in was easy, and the cabin is in a central location, great for getting anywhere around the city or lake. Yard was great for our dogs and the driveway is paved for easy access to the property.
Spacious living room for gathering.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Fun Stay!

Nancy and her IT assistant Gwen were very helpful and very communitive. We did have some issues because of the snow and was helped immediately. We liked it so much that we extended our stay for a night. Cute little cabin with a backyard that my dog loved. Appreciate everything! Will be back soon. I even left a few clothing items behind and they are mailing it to me.

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.

Rustic and cozy retreat

This cozy little home is located on a street corner, has a nice vibe and was perfect for the two of us for a weekend escape. It reminded me of a grand parents cabin that you'd spend time at during the summer or winter break. The hot tub worked well and we enjoyed having a wood burning fire every evening. There were a couple issues that were quickly resolved with good communication. Minor things to note for wintertime users, the bathroom doesn't get much heat and stays pretty cold. Also, make sure the compact fridge is turned on from the inside before you put your groceries in. We didn't realize it was off until the next day. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning again.

Cute Rustic Cabin

This little cabin had the rustic feel we were looking for, and the enclosed backyard for our dog was a plus. The kitchen, bathroom and linens were all very clean. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The heater worked well and there was plenty of firewood for the fireplace. On the downside, the carpet wasn’t the cleanest, which you might expect in a dog-friendly cabin. Also, on our 2nd night, we lit the firepit which burned about 3 minutes before the propane ran out. Because it was late, I waited until the next morning to message the owner through VRBO, hoping she could refill it so we could use it that evening. The owner never replied which was a disappointment to us since she had sent us a message letting us know we could contact her should we need anything. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay.

Cozy family and dog family cabin

We just spent Christmas in the Pinecone Cabin and really enjoyed our stay. I stayed with my husband, two sons (16 and 11) and our dog. The size of the cabin was perfect for our family and the fenced yard and side run were convenient with the dog. Everything was super clean upon arrival and the beds were very comfortable. We particularly loved the location of the cabin in a quiet neighborhood about 5 minutes from the Village and a short walk away from the lake waterfront. We used the wood burning fireplace in the living room every single day and it made it such a cozy ambience while we watched movies as a family, ate dinner or played games. There also were two smart TVs in the cabin, which was great for two boys. The hot tub was our favorite, as it was a perfect way to end a long day skiing and snowboarding. The hot tub was clean and well maintained, which we appreciated staying at other vacation rentals. If you're planning on using the kitchen a lot, one thing to be aware of is that there isn't a dishwasher. This wasn't a huge surprise since it's an older cabin, with an older kitchen. I share that because it is helpful to know for meal planning and buying disposable plates, cups, cutlery to avoid washing so many dishes. :) All in all, it was a wonderful stay and we appreciated the communication with the hosts throughout our time there. We had a couple of questions come up and Nancy got back to us quickly. Highly recommend this place for a great experience in Big Bear.
