Linaker Lodge by AvantStay | Gorgeous Cabin in Big Bear w/ Views

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.

Great stay at the Linker Lodge
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.

Wonderful cabin
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.

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 house was very nice and big but for the cleaning fee that they charged I expected a clean house. There was spider webs everywhere and there was ants in living room and kitchen the showers glass doors were dirty the oven it's all greasy the floors were not moped and there was hair in the master bed under sheets I was very disappointed with that, the first day there was all cleaning I didn't enjoy the stay..

Me and the family really enjoyed our stay at the linaker house. The house felt very clean and smelt great when we arrived! It was also very equipped with the essentials, from kitchen gadgets to snow sled! The kids enjoyed themselves in the game room, while the adults were able to chill in the living room/kitchen. Everyone expressed how amazing this place was and we all can’t wait to be back next winter!

Home Away from Home
It is the 3rd year that my family and I have stayed at this property specifically. This property is our home away from home. Some features of the property has changed since our last visit, however we were not unsatisfied.This is still enough space and things to do for the entire family. Our family love it here and hope to continue our traditions at this property for as long as we can.

Horrible
Multiple health and safety issues. Property was very dirty from carpet to furniture to clogged air filter. Stagnant water in pitcher under kitchen sink from leak. Loose handrails, chairs, broken blinds, front step. Pool cues and rack broken. I had to have a family member fix the kitchen faucet which broke while water was running and remove the air filter. Many other things. Would not ever rent from Wowrentals again, this company that does not maintain their rentals for health and safety concerns and then does not communicate after several attempts from me.

Nice weekend
Everything was good,clean, and the location worked well. Managers were great and process was easy. The only reason I have 4 instead of 5 stars was that on the first night there were guests staying at houses on both sides of the house that were very noisy until well past 2 am which made sleeping very difficult. I know that’s not the owners fault.
