Big Bear Holiday

The property was amazing. Not far at all from the village and grocery stores. We managed to hike at a couple locations nearby. The place was perfect for all of us and the kids loved it. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Great Cabin, Not perfect

The game table in the game room didn’t work and small things like lack of paper towels were not ideal. The rest of our stay was great.

Nice stay!

The overall rating would've been five stars, but upon arrival in the late evening, we discovered the TV and video game in the game room wasn't working, which was a disappointment to the teens in the group. The host was very responsive and helpful and we eventually figured it out the next afternoon, but it would've been nice for the cabin to be fully functional from the get go.Other than that, it was a nice, cozy stay and everyone was comfortable with the beds, the central heating and amenities. The host was communicative leading up to and during our stay.On a side note, know that it is a steep driveway to the house and while we didn't experience any issues driving up and down it, it's just a nice to know.Enjoy your stay!

Quaint cabin

Cute little place in Big Bear with room for the family to spread out. Loft for the kids and game room is good for entertainment The place is clean but blinds are a bit dusty and could use some body wash and shampoo in the showers so we don’t have to run out and buy that as soon as we arrive. Minor details We will rent again next time we’re in Big Bear for sure.

Big Bear Retreat

The house was cozy and fit our group well. We stayed with another family and the loft was perfect for our kiddos. We all enjoyed the well-appointed & fun rec room! We loved the location - easy access to both mountains, close to Von’s and a short drive to the Village. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and great for walks.

A perfect place for our family! Great for our grandmother with no stairs for her. She was able to have access to the bedroom, restroom, kitchen and the living room. Our two children had their own place in the loft with their own restroom with their own tv, they loved their privacy. They also had a fun game room with games including Pac-Man, foos ball and chess/checkers. We also had great grilled steak dinners. We had great communication with the host. He promptly answered all our questions and gave recommendations. It’s almost like he thought of everything.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher E. Molinari

Host profile image
While we live in Los Angeles with our two kids, we are East Coasters who grew up with four seasons. Even though the weather in LA leaves little to complain about, we regretted that our children had never enjoyed a single snow day. So we started looking for a cabin in the mountains. We were looking for an escape from the city where we could reconnect with nature and all four seasons. We found everything we wanted and more at Pine Cone Alley! We hope you will enjoy your stay . It is our home-away-from-home, and has become our refuge from our hectic Los Angeles life. We're hopeful it will do the same for you!- The Molinari Family

Why they chose this property

We looked for a mountain cabin for years. (As a residential real estate broker, looking at properties comes natural.) We realized Big Bear offers so more than anywhere else.. as It truly is a year round community, with friendly people.. We added the 2nd bathroom and the laundry room to the loft. It was a great addition, as it enhances that fantastic loft for the kids!

We also built the 600+ sq ft rec room over the garage, and put a third bathroom in there too. It is so nice for families to have the separate space the rec room adds. All of the high end games make for lasting family memories.

What makes this property unique

Wonderful curb appeal with original Big Bear cabin charm in a fantastic location! A woodsy private lot, yet walking distance to shops and restaurants. Cozy mountain comfort, a fabulous detached recreation room, and all the modern necessities... including newly added central AC and force air Heat in the main cabin! Plus new leather sofas, new high-end SS appliances. Plus, a fenced dog run on the side of the cabin where your best friend can conduct business.
