Mary's Lake Cabin by Destination Big Bear : Walk to the Lake and Boulder Bay Park! Game Room!

Mary's Lake Cabin is a 1,300 square foot] Big Bear Cabin, one block from beautiful Boulder Bay Park. It has two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a recreation room with an extra bed.

Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck and take in sweeping views of the tree-lined mountains and a peak of the lake! Walk to Blanca and Pierre's Restaurant for a hearty breakfast, just 1.5 blocks away. Next door, pick up some firewood and provisions. Rent a kayak or bike only one block from the cabin! If you're there to ski and don't want to deal with parking, take the local area public bus half a block away and get to the slopes. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are a 10-minute drive, and the Village is 5 minutes away. The trailhead to the popular Castle Rock trail is 1 mile away, which offers some of the best views of Big Bear Lake. Jump into the lake, just a block away!

Mary's Cabin is in the perfect location to enjoy all that Big Bear Lake has to offer, yet feels secluded and private. After coming home from your busy day of local activities, lounge on the deck or hot tub and take in the chirping sounds of blue jays, keep an eye out for scampering chipmunks, and breathe in the fresh pine mountain air.

The house itself was recently remodeled and tastefully decorated. The master bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom. Wake up to spectacular views of the mountain from the master bedroom's large glass doors leading to the deck. The second bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed, its own fireplace, and a separate bathroom.

Complimentary high-speed wi-fi included. Get the living room fireplace going while playing some board games with your loved ones or watch a movie. In addition to the living room, there is a downstairs rec room with a third bathroom. This rec room has an additional kitchenette with a small fridge where you can stock your favorite beverages while you play pool or ping pong, or relax and watch TV. The house is fully stocked for entertainment, with board and card games, and two flatscreen smart TVs that have Hulu with live TV streaming, and thousands of movies and shows on demand. Laundry machine on site. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances and wares to cook to your heart's desire. Serve your meals on the rustic wood dining room table with surrounding views of Boulder Bay.

Well-behaved pets welcome! There is a fully fenced in yard for your dog to roam.

Mary's Cabin is your home away from home; a cozy cabin with modern conveniences, close to year-round activities at Big Bear Lake.
The road leading to this property is steep. We recommend guests drive 4x4 vehicle and carry chains during Winter Season and snow conditions.

Not bad - BRING YOUR TOILETRIES
The layout is kind of weird, in order to access the game room and the downstairs area you have to go through the master bathroom, and if someone is using the bathroom you cannot go downstairs unless you go outside the house and walk around it. NO TOILETTERIES or hair drier, this was a first for us. We have stayed in many properties but never had one without basic toiletries such as soap, shampoo, or conditioner. This was my first time at Big Bear, so to me, it felt like the house was outside of the main town area which is not bad, BUT if you have a second vehicle, you have to park it at the main office in town, which is about a 10-minute drive. My recommendation is that if you stay at this place, make sure your whole party fits in one vehicle for convenience (this is not a con since it is the city's policy and not management's rule). Other than that, it served its purpose for the weekend : )

Best Location!
This property was situated in the perfect location, a short walk to the lake at Boulder Bay. The deck was high up with a beautiful view of the lake and mountain side. The inside had a nice breeze flowing through it and was very cozy. We will definitely look forward to returning hopefully soon!

Not as expected
Overall our family had a pleasant time at this house. The house had everything we needed, plenty of games, dishes, utensils, towels, etc., location was not as expected and parking was extremely difficult even with just one vehicle. House was clean, layout was strange. Overall the house was fine and we had a good time, but we would probably not stay here again.

Ugh
So many things were bad. Just gonna list… Parking was horrible…1 car spot. Jacuzzi was super dirty AND jets did not work at all. At least it was hot. Gate at top was useless. Did not latch or open all the way. Pots and pans were old and broken. No Teflon left on any. Shade was locked in the up position. No way to bring it down. Sunset fried thru the livingroom and no way to watch tv with the glare. The owners need to put some money back into this house. Not worth half of what we paid to rent it.

Was ok- good location
The property was a good location, but there needs to be some updates. The hot tub was dirty and water levels were low, so the water was not high enough to go through the filters. There were also a lot of ants when we got there and mouse droppings. The property served its purpose, but there were some cleanliness issues.

Don't want to tell the truth -- want this place for ourselves!
About 25 years ago this cabin was owned by our neighbors in Long Beach and we would frequently visit it with our young kids. Great memories. The cabin was not on the rental market for many years, but recently was upgraded and put back on the market. It is perfect for us. Just the right cozy size and now it has a hot tub on the deck. Still has a real fireplace and nice high location/views. Everything is just right: much thanks to the new owner. Only possible issue it that one has to drive up and down a steep unmaintained road to reach it. So if it snows a lot while you're there, make sure to put on your chains before attempting the descent.

Great spot!
Mary’s Lake Cabin was a great and central location. Given COVID we wanted to stay in a bit and Mary’s Lake Cabin was comfortable enough to do just that as it was clean and well equipped for cooking in stay in. The games didn’t suck either. The only trouble was finding the place as GPS takes you to the condo building across the street, once you see you have to go up dirt road, there was easy and clear signage on the house. Thanks Mary!

Personal Experience
It was a nice, cozy cabin in a great location. It had a great deck with a beautiful view. The amenities were exactly as described and shown on the website, and inside of the house was clean. There are two complaints I have for this place. First, I saw a couple of mice inside the house. I understand that we were in the mountains, and seeing a mouse in the cabin could be normal, but when there is more than one, you need to do pest control. I called the management company, and the representative was indifferent, saying that it's normal in the mountain and we can't do anything. The second thing I did not like was the hot tub because the water was not clean at all, so we decided not to use it.
