About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Original 1940s cabin, beautifully restored! 2 blocks to lake, 6 min to village!

Original Maltby Cabin, with beautiful updates while maintaining the original charm and character.

3 bedrooms (4 beds) 2 bathrooms. Full kitchen.

Super cozy and peaceful with all the fun nearby -
Cabin is just a 5 minute drive to The Village, only 2 miles away. We are a couple blocks to the lake on one side and Boulder Bay on the other. Just 2 blocks from boat rentals! And we are very close to all three ski resorts; 4 miles to Snow Summit, 6.5 miles to Bear Mtn and 9.5 miles to Snow Valley.

The beautiful back deck has peek-a-boo views of the lake which is just a couple blocks away there. Two rocking chairs are waiting for you to sit at and savor your coffee or hot chocolate and the view. There is a barbecue for your year round use as well. The deck is also overlooking your very own sledding hill!

3 bedrooms and 2 bath; 1 king in the spacious upstairs (with skylights to enjoy the towering pine trees and shining bright stars). Downstairs you will find the second full bathroom and two more bedrooms; a queen surrounded by windows (and black out curtains when it’s time to sleep!) and the other has a bunk bed with two very comfortable full sized beds.

The farmhouse kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, tools, dishes etc , and of course coffee and hot chocolate!

You will find two smart TVs, one in the living room with the spacious and comfy leather couches, the other in the loft with the king sized bed and additional seating upstairs.

Other amenities: just to name a few - toys and books for the kids, board games for all ages, full sized washer and dryer, record player, treats for your pups, toboggan for the sledding hill, picnic table and chairs out back, picnic basket, and truly everything inside and out that you could need or want for a lovely get-away.

Note re lake: the lake a couple blocks away does not currently have direct beach access but we are approx 2 blocks from Pleasure Point Marina Boulder Bay Park side is fully open to the public and has beach access, fishing dock, etc. Many other easy access beaches nearby!

Note re local wildlife: as with all places in and near forests there is always the possibility of running into wildlife on or near our property including but not limited to coyotes, bears, snakes, insects, various rodents such as squirrels and chipmunks, etc. Please use common sense and caution.

Note re outside online security video cameras: ring cameras is used upfront. There is a camera pointing at the back door, the front door and driveway, and the backyard. This is to keep the property safe. There are no cameras or recording deceives anywhere in interior spaces.

Great stay; the kitchen had everything we needed. Very good location (not too close to village & not too far). Great walking neighborhood. Nice to be able to see lake from sitting in the living room. We enjoyed our stay & so did our dog.

Great Getaway!
The location was great- made even better by the sledding hill in the backyard. We loved how kid and dog friendly this place is, and it was very cute. Located in a very quiet neighborhood with easily walkable streets to explore with the dog. Would definitely revisit!

Lovely cabin
We really enjoyed our weekend stay at this adorable cabin. Check-in was easy and the on-site manager friendly. Beds were very comfortable, with nice linens. Living room was also comfortably furnished, with a large sofa, big dining table, beautiful fireplace, and cozy blankets. Our hosts thoughtfully left some firewood for us, which was greatly appreciated (we restocked it for the next guests). The kitchen was functional and the equipment on par with other rentals I've stayed at; some upgraded pans and a Tupperware or two would be welcome additions. But the best thing for kids was the sledding hill out back. Our daughter (age 3) absolutely loved it and it was so convenient not to have to trek around looking for a sledding spot. We would definitely stay here again!

Charming Cabin With Personal Touches
We loved our stay! The cabin was even more charming than we expected, and there were so many personal touches… a dog bed and feeding station for our dog, a Christmas tree and other festive decor, and a complimentary bottle of wine, just to name a few. The location was perfect… near the village but far enough away to be able to leave the hustle and bustle behind. Jennifer was such a welcoming host and was very responsive… questions and other messages were answered within minutes. We look forward to visiting again!

Cool little cabin!
My adult son and daughter and I enjoyed our two night stay at this cabin. It was the perfect size and layout for the three of us (altho it will accommodate 5). Everything worked fine. There are two skylights in the second floor master bedroom, so at 5:30am on a summer morn you'll be awash in bright sunlight. Cabin is in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of the lake. Large, wide screen TV was great for watching movies after a long fun day of hiking. The cabin is very cozy, I'm happy to give it and the owner, Jennifer, an excellent recommendation!

Perfect Stay
The cabin is completely darling, and has all the amenities and fixings of a great rental - plus a nice collection of toys for the kids. The layout worked out so great for our two families - with two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, and one large bedroom upstairs with a bathroom. My favorite from the house is the perfect sitting porch! We had an amazing time on our trip, and plan to use this house again next time we go up to Big Bear. The owner is an amazing host, and even sent us some favorite things to do on our stay.

Snowy Mountain Magic!
We couldn’t have been happier with this adorable cabin as we celebrated three March birthdays and enjoyed a remarkably memorable and snow-filled trip! Due to the highly unusual snowfall, we had to reschedule our initially planned trip. Our host Jennifer couldn’t have been more lovely and was beyond helpful and accommodating. We had the best time and look forward to returning again and again!
