2mins to the Lake + Pool Table | Castle Glen Estate Neighborhood | Linaker Lodge
Welcome to Linaker, an AvantStay home!
This luxurious mountain retreat is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive Castle Glen Estate region of Big Bear. The retreat emphasizes mountain living at its finest and is the perfect family/friends getaway throughout the year. The owners spared no expense in designing this impressive open-style lodge encompassing over 3500 feet of living space. The lodge boasts a very large central family great room complete with vaulted ceilings, relaxing sofas, a 60” smart TV, and an oversized dining table easily accommodating 8 guests. There is a newly renovated oversized gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and modern stainless steel appliances catering to any kitchen enthusiast. An additional entertainment room with a log cabin style bar, regulation-sized pool table, and another 60” smart TV only adds to the functionality. There are four bedrooms including a wonderful master suite with a fireplace, soaking tub, and large screen plasma TV. Two additional bedrooms with queen size beds as well as a fourth bedroom complete with two combination twin/full log cabin style bunk beds make this home the ultimate escape for multiple families and friends to share.
Just minutes away from all activities including the ski slopes, Big Bear Lake, hiking, fishing, golfing, the Big Bear zoo, and countless other activities. The home is close to the nearby central shopping center including a Starbucks, Vons and a number of restaurants. The newly renovated Big Bear Village with movie theaters and gourmet restaurants is just minutes away.

This nature lover’s paradise provides endless year-round activities. In the winter, Big Bear Lake offers skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and tubing. In the summer, visitors love to play water sports, horseback rides, golf, hike, and mountain bike. Head to Big Bear when you need a healthy dose of fresh air, exercise, and rejuvenation.

We had a great stay at the Linker Lodge this past week. House is well laid our for a large family to enjoy. Close to the slopes and shopping. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival. We really appreciated having both bays in the 2-car garage available for parking.
The hike/cabin was beautiful and set up with everything. We enjoyed our family getaway.

Our stay was great:)
We enjoyed our thanksgiving holiday there. Hope to come back and spend our vacation again. The house is very nice and well furnished. Thanks again.
Had a wonderful time. This property was perfect for our group. The good size kitchen and dining table were just what we needed for cooking and enjoying many meals together.
We were 11 family members in Big Bear to attend a wedding - the house afforded enough room for us all to be together when we wanted to be and to be able to have some solitude when we wanted. Would definitely stay here again.

The place is really nice and spacious. It was able to accommodate my group of 10 comfortably. The best part of staying here was the stocked kitchen and the smart televisions with netflix, definitely made the trip fun. Also, the place is close to a Vons and the lake. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend some quality with friends and family.
Beautiful spacious home with wonderful kitchen and huge dining table for large groups. The game room was a hit with the kids! Around the corner from Snow Summit where we spent a day mountain biking and the marina where we Rented kayaks and paddle boards. Loved the neighborhood!

Highly recommend linaker lodge! Craig was a great host and easy to communicate with. The lodge was clean and set up perfectly on our arrival. Everything worked well and it was stocked up nicely. The space is beautiful, spacious but so cozy. It’s also in a great area! Super close to grocery store and minutes away from the village. We had the absolute best time there!

Great Weekend Getaway
My family and I had an excellent weekend at this property and I would strongly recommend it to my family, friends, colleagues and employees. This property had everything I needed and many extra's, not to mention the size of the lodge was very comfortable for a large family. Thank you to the owners of Linaker Lodge, very well kept and easy to work with.

Great location, beautiful decor. Fully stocked kitchen-Seriously. Great for a big group. enjoyed watching movies in the upstairs living room and having drinks by the fire in the bottom living room. Beautiful dinner table where we enjoyed our meals and an amazing view from the balcony. overall this cabin was everything we needed and more.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It had everything we needed (except for Tupperware/ foil/ cling wrap - bring your own). Also, the power went out in the city on our first night and they only had two extra blankets in the whole house. Besides that, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent the cabin again.

Wonderful rental!
We rented this cabin in order to have additional space for a large group. The rest of our group stayed across the street and we split the time between the two houses. Everything was clean and well-maintained and everyone loved this house. There is plenty of space to spread out, but also several areas large enough to accommodate a big crowd. Definitely recommend this property!

Absolutely Wonderful!
We loved every minute of our stay in Linaker Lodge. The owners have created an amazing and soothing mountain-atmosphere. Special details include a spacious and well-stocked gourmet kitchen, luxurious beds and linens, speedy wi-fi, and numerous indoor entertainment activities. The pictures in the listing are beautiful, but seeing this home in person will take your breath away. The owners were extremely helpful during the rental process and our family felt very fortunate to be staying in such a wonderful home.

Wonderful house for large family
This is our second time staying here and it is absolutely wonderful. Always clean, stocked with added conveniences in the kitchen as well as toys for little kids, Xbox and pool for older ones and a bunch of movies, books etc... we had a couple small issues figuring out the DVD and the fire but the owner called us and within 5 minutes everything was working great! He even offered to have the management company come out but it actually was an easy fix. Love this place!
