Is Pine Grove Cabin legally permitted as a short-term rental?
Yes. It operates under active San Bernardino County STR Permit CESTRP-2026-00657.
Kids, family & dogs
What is there for kids?
The Sasquatch Den is a downstairs game room with foosball, jumbo Connect Four, a poker table, a Lego table, board games, sleds, and a TV. Bedroom Three has a Legends Ultimate arcade cabinet loaded with classic games, and the deck has a gas fire pit for s'mores.
Is it good for babies and toddlers?
Yes. We've set up a pack 'n play, toys and books for ages 0–5, children's dinnerware, and outlet covers, and the Sasquatch Den doubles as a children's playroom with a Lego table and board games. The main living level is up a flight of stairs, so plan for strollers and gear accordingly.
Are there age restrictions on the bunk beds?
Children under 6 aren't permitted on the top bunk.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome: up to 2, over 1 year old, with a $75 pet fee. Please add your dog to the reservation ahead of time. If your pup sheds, bring a dog bed and blankets from home and keep them off the furniture (or cover it with a blanket from home), and please clean up after your dog in the yard. Cats aren't permitted due to guest allergies.
Hot tub, fire pit & outdoors
Is there a hot tub, and when can I use it?
Yes, a private hot tub set to 100–101°F and open 8:00 AM–10:00 PM daily, which is a San Bernardino County rule we're required to follow. Please shower before you get in and skip lotions, oils, sunscreen, and outside soaps; they can foul the water and lead to a $100 drain-and-fill fee.
Is there a fire pit, and are s'mores supplies included?
Yes. The deck has a gas fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Grab the s'mores station from the kitchen: it comes stocked with marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and roasting forks. Bring extra fixings if you're feeding a crowd.
What's the fireplace situation?
The living room has a gas-assist wood-burning fireplace, plus central heating throughout the cabin. Firewood isn't supplied, so please bring your own, and skip lighter fluid and other combustible materials.
Is there wildlife to be aware of?
It's the mountains! Bears, mountain lions, snakes, skunks, and other native species like chipmunks, hawks, and squirrels live in the area. Enjoy them from a distance and please don't approach or feed any wildlife.
The cabin & the mountain
Where exactly is Pine Grove Cabin?
In the upper Moonridge area of Big Bear Lake. It's about 5 minutes to Bear Mountain and the Alpine Zoo, 10 minutes to Snow Summit, and 12 minutes to the Village and Big Bear Lake. See our Moonridge & Big Bear Lake guide for the full breakdown.
How many vehicles can we park, and is there street parking?
The driveway has room for up to 3 vehicles, per the property's STR permit. Street parking is not available.
Does the cabin have air conditioning?
No. This is a mountain climate, and evenings stay cool even in summer. The cabin has central heating, ceiling fans, and a gas-assisted wood-burning fireplace instead of A/C.
Is the cabin accessible without stairs?
No. The main living area is above ground level and is accessible by stairs only, with no elevator. Worth knowing ahead if you're traveling with mobility limitations, a stroller, or heavy luggage.
What safety features does the cabin have?
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit. Exterior security cameras cover the driveway entrance, front entry steps, and rear deck steps (outdoor access areas only, with no interior cameras).

Good-neighbor basics
