In the Pines – A Big Bear Love Story

Nestled beneath tall pines on Big Bear’s quiet north shore, In the Pines is more than a cabin. It is your personal escape — a cozy, pet friendly retreat for romance, adventure, and deep rest. Whether you are planning a weekend getaway, a solo reset, or an extended stay with your pup, this two bedroom forest cabin offers peace, charm, and comfort. Big Bear Lake is just a short walk away.

Step Into Stillness

You have made it.

Pine needles crunch softly underfoot. Sunlight filters through the trees. A wood burning fire glows inside warm wood interiors. The phone stays quiet. Shoulders drop. The breath deepens. Time slows. This is not a hotel stay. This is your mountain story.

What Makes This Stay Unforgettable

Couples come to reconnect. Solo travelers find true rest. Dogs chase sticks on the trail and sleep by the fire. Guests leave feeling like they stepped out of the noise and back into themselves.

Seasonal Highlights

• Winter: snowflakes, sledding hills nearby, ski resorts within ten minutes, and real fires in the hearth
• Spring: wildflowers, crisp mornings, lake hikes and less crowded trails
• Summer: kayaking, paddleboarding, BBQs on the deck, cool nights under the stars
• Fall: leaf peeping, Oktoberfest in the village, sweater weather mornings with coffee on the porch

Packing Tips and Pro Guest Moves

• Bring chains in winter — the elevation is over 7,000 feet and storms can roll in fast
• Pack your favorite firewood or grab bundles at the local market
• Hiking boots and trail shoes make exploring the neighborhood better
• Slippers are great for indoor cozy time and keeping pine needles off the floors
• Don’t forget groceries — there is a small store nearby but the main markets are in the village

Local Vibes and Neighborhood Charm

Fawnskin is the hidden gem of Big Bear — quiet, wooded, peaceful. There is almost no traffic on this side of the lake, making it a favorite for locals and return guests. You can walk to the lake, the Discovery Center, and a small general store. In winter, you will feel like you are staying in a snow globe. In summer, the sound of wind through pine trees becomes your soundtrack.
