About this property

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.

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.

Perfect Cozy Cabin

Thank you so much! Cabin was wonderful! Perfect location, not too far from the Village and various restaurants. Loved being surrounded by trees, and having a cup of coffee on the porch in the morning, very relaxing. Will definitely want to stay here again.

Great little getaway

My family and I stayed here for the weekend and had a wonderful experience. The property was clean and cozy and in a nice quiet location. The only thing to note if you have small kids is that there is no bathtub, which made things a little difficult for my 1.5 year old. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.

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.

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!

Cute cabin in great location

Pros: Great views. Excellent, quiet location nestled among the trees. Huge cozy upstairs bedroom. Sunroom bedroom downstairs with great views. Kitchen with all amenities. Cons: Cleanliness issues. Downstairs floors were swept but in need of a thorough mopping. Coffee maker and tea kettle in need of thorough cleaning.

Perfect place for a quick winter getaway

This was the perfect place for a quick winter getaway. My friends and I stayed here for the 3 day weekend. It had everything we needed. We made all of our meals in the well stocked kitchen and enjoyed eating together at the big dining table. After spending the day on the mountain we sank into the comfy living room couch and watched tv. Everyone in my group had the best nights sleep in the beds. Each morning we sat in the rocking chairs on the porch and enjoyed our coffee while blue birds flew by to munch on the bird feeders. Super easy check in/check out. I would definitely stay here 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!
