About this property

Entire place

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

Stay at one of the most unique locations in the Big Bear Valley. Our beautiful mountain cabin is just across the street from Big Bear Lake's shoreline, and backs to a mountain from the vast San Bernardino National Forest. If you're looking to get away from City stress, it doesn't get much better than our "Alpine Lake Cabin".

The home is two bedrooms one bath with enough accommodations for up to four guests and parking for one vehicle. It has a fully equipped kitchen, wood burning fireplace, WiFi, propane BBQ and breathtaking views from most rooms in the cabin. Bedroom one has a queen bed and bedroom two has two twin beds.

We recommend this cabin for nature enthusiasts, small family retreats, and private couple getaways. The cabin was built on the side of the mountain at an elevated position in order to maximize the beautiful views of the lake. Because of this there are 25+ steps on the stairs from the driveway to the front door.

Beautiful view

We spent most of our time out on the deck watching the sunrise, eating meals and just enjoying the view. Lovely cabin that had everything we needed. We got to bbq the first night and I was able to cook homemade Lasagna the next night. I hope to start again soon.

Rustic lakeside cabin

Beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake and sunrise. In the peak of summer, it was a bit hot in the cabin at night (no A/C), but we managed with the many fans provided by the owners. Zero complaints. Highly recommend.

The property was disappointing. The host doesn't mention the long flight of staircase to get to the cabin which is very inconvenient. The interior of the cabin is very old and not enough heating so it's very cold in the rooms. I don't recommend this place if you have children. I give this property under average at best.

Cozy cabin

We loved this cabin overlooking Big Bear lake. The view was the best part for sure! The place was very clean, and though it is cold outside this time of year, the cabin has plenty of heaters and blankets. The lack of wifi / internet access was kind of buried in the listing so take note (we thought we read the listing thoroughly but somehow we missed that!) and the cell service isn’t great either, so if you need to do work or any video calls, this is a place best suited to someone who plans to completely unplug. Fortunately we downloaded a bunch of movies before we came to the cabin, since we could not stream any movies (there aren’t many playable DVDs.) The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils, but there was no cooking oil or salt and not much coffee, and the nearest grocery store is about 30 minutes away (there are some small markets and liquor stores about 10 mins away). So plan accordingly! Other than that the place was lovely, we really enjoyed using the fireplace and walking to a nearby fishing area. Would stay here again!

Worst customer service I have ever experienced

The cabin is old but too be expected based on the listing photos. Check-in was standard as with any other VRBO. however the minute we walked in the house there were several oil diffusers in the house making a very strong smell. We ended up moving all of them outside and then understood why. The cabin smelled musty after we moved the diffusers. That wasn’t a deal breaker but it was not pleasant. The deal breaker is when we were washing dishes after putting out kids to bed the first night (4 month old and 2 year old). I walked by the water heater closet and smelt something like unburnt gas or very poor ventilation. I opened the closet to see if there was a problem and the amount of fumes that came out made me cough. We thought there might be a gas leak of some sort so we texted the overnight emergency number. We were told to leave the cabin, this is was about 11 at night and they were going to call the gas company to come check on the residence. At this point, I made the decision to pack my family up and drive home as we were not comfortable staying in the cabin, it was high 30 degrees outside and I wasn’t going to keep my family waiting in the car until a gas company technician arrived. No ETA was given by the emergency contact and it’s fair to say it would be hours until someone arrived. After returning home, I contact VRBO and requested a refund based the circumstances and they denied my refund.

Cabin with a view

This is an absolutely gem of a cabin. For a true cabin feel in big bear, STAY HERE. everything is clean, well thought out, tiny details thought of. The view is STUNNING. Woke up to catch the sunrise both mornings, saw a juvenile bald eagle gliding over the lake. Beautiful views of the night stars. The deck is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or tea. Close enough to everything to not feel like it’s a journey, far enough to be able to enjoy the serene peacefulness of Big Bear Lake. WILL be staying here again!

Aka Rocking Chair Chalet

Well It was a pleasant stay except the cabin is dated with too many rocking chairs (4) and Too many decor pillows. Not aware of all the stairs with toddlers, Deck needs painting and no nice patio furniture to relax in, Full size bed in one room was not comfortable, sunken on side. Snow scene in ad of cabin is deceptive as looked beautiful but it’s dated. Stars and cost not Equivalent! Best is beautiful view of lake!!

Wonderful View!

Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at this property! The view from the deck is absolutely beautiful and serene. I woke up every morning early to see the sunrise over the water. I would suggest since the view is by far this property's biggest assett, that they invest in some decent deck furniture. There were only white plastic chairs on the deck to sit on. In my opinion this would greatly add to people's enjoyment of this rental. The two bedrooms had very comfortable beds. The bed off from the living space, however was uncomfortable. We also had an issue with the water pressure being very low...HOWEVER, the shower pressure was good. The kitchen and bathroom sinks and toilet have very low water pressure. I would most definitely stay here again! It was very cozy...and the view and serenity of the location alone would make me want to return! Thanks for a great stay!

The driveway was covered in 2 1/2’ of snow. As was the stairs leading up to the door. I drove for hours and arrived late at night only to find I couldn’t park my truck in the driveway. Then I had to stomp my way through the snow to bring my belongings up the slippery stairs. I couldn’t park in the driveway or park in the street for fear of a snowplow hitting my truck. I had to spend an hour trying notch out enough area from the driveway area to get my truck off the road enough to not get hit. If this is how the owner/property management treat renters I’ll tell everyone I know to avoid this property like a virus.

This property is exactly what is listed and more. You go there to stay with a view and it helps that everything is within 15mins drive. It’s comfortable and fully equipped. The small touches of leaving out toiletries, kids’ milk chocolate and such were endearing. We appreciated and enjoy our stay.

Wonderful Cabin and Views!

This cabin is about a 15 minute drive from Big Bear City. Myself, my husband, and two kids stayed for 3 nights. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we may have needed plus more! They even set out makeup wipes in the restroom (a small detail but shows how much effort is put into making their guests comfortable). There is a very short walk to North Shore Landing where we rented a boat and spent some time on the lake. It was also very convenient to be so close to shore. We could walk out with all of our chairs and snacks and fish off the shore until we were ready to go enjoy the night in Big Bear City. The only thing I suggested was to invest in an air purifier. My daughter has dust allergies that set off her asthma and she had to use her inhaler everyday. Other than that, we absolutely loved it and would stay here again.

Perfect view of the lake.

The cabin is in a perfect location with very good views of the lake. It is old and out dated but it’s very clean and detailed. Everything is there for our stay. Although there’s no AC,, the owner provided a lot of fans throughout the house. We stayed during the heat wave and it wasn’t too bad for us. My only complaint is the refrigerator takes a long time to get cool. Had my water bottles in there and it took all night to get cold. Also there’s a water issue with the city. The water was limited after 10pm and into the next day. It didn’t bother us because we checked out the next day. Overall we liked our stay and would definitely stay here again.
