About this property
Pines & Paddles • Lakefront • Spa • Gaming Loft
Summary:
Welcome to Pines & Paddles! Gorgeous lakefront home sits on nearly two-thirds of an acre encompassed by a charming white picket fence. Enjoy direct access to the lake from your private dock on the peaceful Mallard Lagoon. Close enough to the attractions, yet far enough to feel like a secluded serene retreat. Home is mainly single story with exception to gaming loft.
Welcome to Pines & Paddles—a rare lakefront estate set on park-like grounds along the peaceful Mallard Lagoon of Big Bear Lake.
With 3,699 sq ft of living space, soaring two-story windows, and direct dock access, this home is designed for groups who want space, privacy, and a true indoor-outdoor experience—just minutes from town, yet completely removed from the crowds.

Pines & Paddles is ideal for multi-family trips, retreats, and lake-focused getaways—offering a rare combination of dock access, space, and resort-style amenities. While the home sits on a calm lagoon—ideal for paddleboarding and relaxing views—seasonal algae can appear around the turn of summer to fall, which is common across Big Bear’s shoreline. However, it does not impact use of the dock or outdoor spaces.
Reach out with any questions—we’re happy to help you plan the perfect stay.
