We had a fantastic stay at CasaPines in Big Bear, California. The house is in a tranquil neighborhood, close to the restaurants and center of Big Bear. Though traffic can take a while during the busy season or the day, at night, and off-season, it is a quick 5 min drive.

CasaPines has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a great living area, and a kitchen. The primary bedroom has a king-size bed, a bathroom with a bathtub, and a separate shower. Wait until you see the backyard. The backyard has a picnic table, grill, and fire pit. We went during the snow season and weren't outside the yard as much, but I could see myself coming with my family during the summer and hanging out in the backyard all day. The house has everything you can think of, including board games, a washer, and a dryer!

CasaPines is a very modern home, but that still provides a cozy feeling that you want to stay inside and relax. The host was excellent and answered any questions that we had. It was a great weekend with my friends, and I will return with my family.
