New Big Bear Cabins to Discover in 2026

For Travelers Who Want the Mountain Outside Their Door

When getting to the slopes matters as much as the cabin itself, start here.

Dorneys Den | True Ski-In/Ski-Out at Bear Mountain

This one earns the phrase ski-in/ski-out. Dorneys Den sits directly off Chair 9 at Bear Mountain, with a ski-access path leading to the lift. The 3-bedroom condo sleeps 7 and adds a private hot tub, firepit and views overlooking the resort, making the trip from powder to après remarkably short. In warmer months, guests also have access to on-site pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, with the golf course and mountain trails nearby.

Best for: Ski trips, families who want slope access, year-round mountain adventures.

Summit Landing | Steps from Snow Summit

Summit Landing puts another version of slope-side living on the map. This luxury tri-level condo sleeps 8 and is just steps from Snow Summit, with ski-run views from the property and retro arcade games waiting inside when the lifts close.

Best for: Snow Summit trips, families and groups who want to park the car and stay close to the action.

Adventure Lodge | Big-Group Base Camp Near the Slopes

For a much larger crew, Adventure Lodge combines 6 bedrooms and space for up to 16 guests with a hot tub, pool table, foosball and a pet-friendly setup. The luxury log retreat is located in the Snow Summit area near ski access, restaurants and local shops.

Best for: Large families, friend groups, ski weekends and travelers bringing their dogs.

For the “Cabin Is Part of the Vacation” Crowd

Some Big Bear homes aren’t simply where you sleep after the adventure. They are the adventure.

Casa Luna | Your Big Bear Wellness Weekend

Casa Luna may be one of the most distinctive additions of the year. The 3-bedroom home sleeps 8 and turns its outdoor space into a private mountain retreat with a cedar hot tub, sauna, firepit and putting green. It’s also pet friendly and includes an EV charger, making it an easy pick for a slower, wellness-centered weekend when the itinerary might intentionally include doing very little.

Best for: Wellness weekends, couples traveling together, girls’ trips, pet-friendly escapes and anyone whose vacation plan includes a sauna followed by a soak.

Edgar’s Hideaway | Go Big

Edgar’s Hideaway was made for the group chat that actually manages to get everyone on the same trip. This luxury Upper Moonridge home has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and room for up to 16 guests, including two master suites. A sauna, enormous game room, EV charger and mountain and peek-a-boo lake views give a large group plenty to do without leaving home. It’s pet friendly, too.

Best for: Large families, multi-family trips, celebrations and groups that want entertainment built into the stay.

Golden View Cabin | Classic Log Cabin, Upgraded

Golden View Cabin delivers the wood-and-stone mountain atmosphere people picture when they imagine Big Bear, but with plenty of modern comfort. The single-story, 4-bedroom home sleeps 12 and features vaulted pine ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, foosball, a large dining table, fenced yard and decks for gathering outside.

Best for: Families, groups and travelers looking for classic cabin character without giving up space or modern finishes.

Lovitt Lodge | Cabin Character + Game Night

Lovitt Lodge is a custom log-style, pet-friendly retreat with 3 bedrooms and room for 9. Its game room includes a pool table and three TVs, while the covered deck and fenced yard add space to spread out beyond the cabin walls.

Best for: Families, pet-friendly trips and groups that consider a pool tournament a legitimate vacation activity.

For Lake Days, Views & Outdoor Living

If Big Bear Lake is the main character of your trip, several of the newest homes bring you closer to the water.

The Pines Retreat | Lake Access + Private Dock

The Pines Retreat pairs lake views with something even better: access to the water. This 3-bedroom Boulder Bay retreat sleeps 9 and features lake access and a private side-tie dock, subject to lake levels. Multiple decks, a firepit, ping pong, foosball, an EV charger and a fenced backyard give the house plenty of appeal even after the boat is tied up for the day.

Best for: Summer lake trips, boating families and groups that want indoor and outdoor entertainment.

Tree Top Haven | A Private Forest Near the Village

Tree Top Haven brings together two things that don’t always coexist: privacy and proximity. The luxury 5-bedroom home sleeps up to 15 and sits near the Village and lake while offering its own fenced forest backyard, forest and peek-a-boo lake views, foosball and a free EV charger.

Best for: Large groups that want forest surroundings without feeling removed from Big Bear’s restaurants, shops and lake activities.

Grandview Lodge | Castle Glen With a View

Grandview Lodge is a 4-bedroom luxury Castle Glen home sleeping up to 12, with lake views, a hot tub, pool table and gourmet kitchen. Its Castle Glen location also keeps guests close to the lake while putting shopping, dining and the ski resorts within a short drive.

Best for: Luxury group trips, lake-view seekers and families that want a central Big Bear location.

2 Eagles Landing | Castle Glen Adventure Base

Also in Castle Glen, 2 Eagles Landing offers 4 bedrooms and space for up to 12 guests in a luxury mountain setting. The home adds a game room and puts guests within walking distance of the lake and trails.

Best for: Families and groups that want lake and trail access with a larger luxury home base.

Heaven on Earth | Wildlife Views

For travelers who would rather watch the landscape than the television, Heaven on Earth sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms and is distinguished by views of Bakers Pond and the Stanfield Wildlife Preserve.

Best for: Nature lovers, birdwatchers and quieter Big Bear escapes.

For Dogs Who Were Absolutely Coming Anyway

Several of 2026’s additions make it easier to bring the four-legged member of the family.

Banjo’s Base Camp | Pet-Friendly Backyard Fun

Banjo’s Base Camp packs a surprising amount into a 2-bedroom cabin that sleeps up to 8: a hot tub, basketball, firepit, EV charger, air conditioning and a pet-friendly setup.

Best for: Smaller groups, dog-friendly getaways and travelers who want plenty to do back at the cabin.

Wilderness Haven | Hot Tub Under the Pines

Wilderness Haven is a 3-bedroom, pet-friendly Boulder Bay retreat for up to 6 guests with a hot tub tucked beneath the pines. Multiple decks, a remodeled kitchen, cornhole, BBQ and several outdoor seating areas make this one especially suited to travelers who want to spend as much time outside the cabin as inside it.

Best for: Dog-friendly trips, smaller families and laid-back outdoor weekends.

Cabin9nineteen | Modern Cabin + Fenced Backyard

Cabin9nineteen is a 3-bedroom Big Bear City retreat sleeping 6 with modern upgrades, retro arcade games, a firepit and a fully fenced backyard. It’s also pet friendly, giving families traveling with dogs another option with usable outdoor space.

Best for: Families with dogs, smaller groups and guests who appreciate retro games and outdoor hangout space.

Bear Pines Retreat | Walk to Bear Mountain

Bear Pines Retreat combines a pet-friendly setup with a hot tub, firepit and game room, but location is the headline: the 4-bedroom home sleeps 8 and is less than a mile from Bear Mountain, the golf course and Big Bear Alpine Zoo.

Best for: Pet-friendly ski trips and groups who want Bear Mountain attractions nearby.

For Easy, Comfortable Group Getaways

Not every trip needs a theater, sauna or ski lift outside the door. Sometimes the winner is simply a well-equipped home with enough room for everyone.

Crystal Lake Cottage | Single-Level Comfort + Hot Tub

Crystal Lake Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Fox Farm home sleeping 6, with a single-level layout, central air conditioning, hot tub, firepit, decks and a large fenced yard.

Best for: Smaller families, summer stays and groups that prefer a single-level layout.

Teakwood Forest Lodge | Game-Friendly Fox Farm Stay

Teakwood Forest Lodge sleeps 10 across 4 bedrooms and gives groups plenty of ways to fill an evening with a pool table, foosball and even a piano. The Fox Farm location also puts grocery stores and restaurants nearby, with both ski resorts a short drive away.

Best for: Families and groups that want entertainment at home and easy access to everyday essentials.
