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.

This cozy cabin was exactly what my family needed to spend time together to slow down and celebrate my birthday! We appreciated the rustic feel and all of the personal, eclectic touches. Coffee on the back porch was our absolute favorite. (There is a camera back there- if you’re okay with that, no big deal) Side note: my daughter left two sweaters and Lisa was kind enough to go out of her way to mail them to us! We will be back! Thank you so much!

The cabin is adorable and a good size for the 4 of us plus small dog. Nice area close to the lake, walkable to Pleasure Point Marina. Our first night was great but then woke up to no electricity in all of Big Bear and no guarantees it would come and if it did may happen again due to wind and high temps (fire danger). A fire did break out north of Big Bear. We decided to cut the trip short and return home. The host was very understanding. We will go back again later in the fall when the temps are lower and fire risk not as great.

The Perfect Cabin Retreat - Pet-Friendly and Peaceful

We had a fantastic stay at this warm and inviting cabin. The views were stunning, the beds were super comfortable, and the couch was perfect for relaxing after a day out. It really felt like a home away from home.One of the best parts for us was how dog friendly the place is. We brought our two dogs, and they loved it just as much as we did. It’s not always easy to find places that welcome pets and still feel this cozy and well cared for.The location was also a huge plus. It’s just minutes from Big Bear Village, which made it easy to explore shops, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy everything the area has to offer while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful mountain setting.The host was friendly and responsive. We appreciated how smooth and easy everything was from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Big Bear.
Arrrr matey!

Perfect Mountain Getaway!

We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin in Big Bear! The location couldn’t be better—tucked away in a peaceful, scenic area, yet just minutes from the lake, hiking trails, and the village. It was the perfect balance of nature and convenience.The cabin itself was cozy, inviting, and clean. It had that classic mountain charm with all the modern comforts we needed for a relaxing stay. Whether we were sipping coffee on the deck in the morning or enjoying a movie night on the couch, everything felt just right.Our host was absolutely wonderful—always responsive, kind, and accommodating. From booking to check-out, communication was seamless and thoughtful.We genuinely didn’t want to leave, and we’re already talking about when we can come back. This cabin is a true gem, and we’ll definitely be returning for another getaway soon!

Cozy Cabin at Big Bear Lake

Such a cute cabin. Looks rustic on the outside, but nicely remodeled on the inside. But the owner kept the historic details. Perfect! The heat worked great. A large cozy sofa and ottoman and nice big TV was perfect for our family to enjoy holiday movies. Also a beautiful table with bench seat for meals and playing games. Our daughter loved the back bedroom with windows on two walls. She spent most of the time reading books and enjoying the sunrise and sunsets. There was another good sized bedroom next door with newer laundry machines. The large master suite upstairs was nice too. Very spacious and nicely updated bathroom. A short walk to the lake, market, and tasty pizza restaurant and bar. Great for pet owners. A short drive to the main village. I recommend going to breakfast and dinner early because long waits at prime meal times is normal there.
