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!

    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 host was very accommodating and very responsive to any questions. The host immediately removed any ‘down’ pillows, etc. when it was noted that one of the guests was allergic to down.

    Stayed here with my family for my wife’s birthday weekend, it’s a cozy cabin amongst the trees. We had a dog with us and he loved the yard and the porch to take naps on. Owners were very responsive to our needs and requests.

    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.

    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.

    The property check-in was very easy. I loved all the amenities. Everything you need is there Wi-Fi included. Cabin is definitely on the rustic side with modern amenities. We stood for the weekend brought our two dogs. They had a blast as well would definitely come back.

    We stayed here for two weeks. Unfortunately, we had bad luck with the neighbor during the first week. He was renovating, and it was loud and very dusty.The house was exactly as described. Without the neighbor, we were able to enjoy the beautiful nature and observe many different birds, squirrels, and chipmunks. Jennifer tried hard to resolve our issue with the neighbor. You can see Big Bear Lake from the patio. We went kayaking, visited Snow Summit, and went hiking on Rock Trail, Cougar Trail, and Woodland Trail. The boardwalk is also particularly beautiful.Thank you. Best Regards Olaf and Liane

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!
