Pinecrest Lodge by AvantStay | Game Room + Foosball + Outdoor Dining + BBQ | Near Big Bear Lake + Slopes

Tucked into a quiet, pine-shaded neighborhood on the south side of Big Bear Lake, Pinecrest Lodge delivers exactly what you came up the mountain for: tall trees, fresh alpine air, and a five-bedroom home built for group getaways. The slopes of Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are barely a mile up the road — close enough to be first chair on a powder morning — and the marinas, restaurants, and shops of The Village are a quick five-minute drive when the day calls for water or a stroll through town.Step inside and the home opens up around vaulted wood ceilings and big mountain windows that pull natural light deep into the living area. The open-concept layout flows from a comfortable lounge into a dining table for six and a fully equipped kitchen stocked for group cooking — chili nights after the slopes, slow Sunday breakfasts, however the day shakes out. When the energy turns playful, a foosball table and arcade game keep friendly competition going indoors, while a basketball hoop out front handles the runoff between snow days.Out back, the mountain takes center stage. Fire up the BBQ grill and gather around the outdoor dining area for laid-back meals beneath the pines, with crisp Big Bear air doing the heavy lifting on ambience.With four bedrooms sleeping up to 10 guests, the home flexes easily across families, multi-gen groups, and friend trips. The primary suite features a king bed plus a twin, with an ensuite bathroom outfitted with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Additional rooms include a queen bedroom and spacious bunk rooms, giving you flexibility to mix and match sleeping arrangements as the group needs.Big Bear Lake itself sits just down the hill, with boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing all spinning up in summer. In winter, the trails turn to snow runs and the resorts open up — Snow Summit and Bear Mountain handle both skiers and snowboarders, with terrain for every level. Warmer months bring hiking, mountain biking, and easy days wandering The Village's coffee shops, boutiques, and patios. Whatever the season, Pinecrest Lodge gives you a roomy, easy-going base camp with the best of Big Bear at the foot of the driveway.AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
