Big Bear Lake is all about contrast: deep watery blues against green pine forests giving way to sunlit shorelines. With seven miles of water and sweeping mountain views, it’s the rare Southern California escape that feels truly four seasons. Whether savoring morning coffee from your private patio in a lakeside chateau, swishing down snowy ski trails, or soaking — cocktail in hand under the stars in a hot tub — these exclusive homes are perfect in every season. From cabins with saunas and hot tubs to hideaways with reading nooks, following are some of our favorite Big Bear Airbnbs.
Luxurious Lakefront Escape
Set in the cove of Big Bear Lake — minutes from the village and slopes — this luxurious lodge features four bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, and spectacular outdoor space. Enjoy the cushy sun loungers, outdoor dining, and private boat dock. Top off your night with cocktails by the fire pit.
Hallmark Hideaway
Fairytale-esque with its intimate and airy vibe (especially in winter), this Hallmark-channel-worthy cabin comes with warm lighting, soft textures, neutral hues, and a romantic ambience. We also love the library hideaway and outdoor sauna.
Running Wolves Lodge
Wellness seekers will love the private sauna, hot tub, and gym. And did we mention the panoramic (lake and ski slope) views? Sip morning coffee on the deck, evening cocktails by the fireplace. The ultimate in lakeside living.
Modern Lakefront Villa
Sweeping views are the hallmark of this A-frame lakefront house. Set between towering pines, this modern villa home comes with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-floor concept. Stargaze from the sunken hot tub, or watch your favorite movie from the over-sized projector.
Spacious Luxury Home
After a day on the slopes, return to this spacious and tranquil home for an outdoor barbecue or hot tub soak under the stars. Interiors feature a wood-burning fireplace and chef’s kitchen. Come for the holidays, and find two beautifully decorated Christmas trees and stockings hung on the mantle.
Loro’s Lookout
Beautifully designed, this A-frame home offers panoramic lake and mountain views. With one slide of a door, the living room opens up to the deck, making a seamless outdoor-indoor living space.
Modern Mountain Escape
Stylish and newly renovated, this modern three-bedroom, three-bath cabin blends sleek contemporary design with mountain living. The location is also ideal: close to both Snow Summit (skiing) and Big Bear village (shopping).
Modern A-Frame
Designed with a love of mountains (and architecture), this luxurious Airbnb is flooded with natural light. Sip morning coffee and evening cocktails on the wrap-around deck, while taking in the stunning mountain views. Ski and hiking trails are also close by.
