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.

Lovely cabin in a beautiful setting
My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin was charming and comfortable and the neighborhood was peaceful. Close enough to the village and other activities without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. We had a few questions for the host and she answered very quickly each time and was quite accommodating. We would definitely book again!

Weekend visit to my Granddaughter in Big Bear
We were all impressed by how cute and rustic the cabin was! Just what I was looking for. It was nice and col when we arrived, air conditioning felt great. Beds were very comfortable, nice linens and great pillows! Both bathrooms well appointed, large. Peaceful, relaxing on the porch. I would rent again. Jennifer was very easy to communicate with and even allowed us to get in earlier than the scheduled check in time which was great for our party.

Great summer trip to Big Bear
Perfect cabin for our family of 3 plus our dog. There was more than enough room if we had brought a few more guests. Location is perfect and the cabin is a nice mix of rustic while still having creature comforts. Back porch is perfect for sipping coffee or cocktails while enjoying nature. The neighbors were all very friendly as well. We would definitely stay here again!

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!
