About this property

The Village Timber Lodge at Big Bear - Downtown Log Cabin Retreat

The Village Timber Lodge at Big Bear - Downtown Log Cabin Retreat

Tucked among the pines and just a short stroll from the heart of Big Bear Lake's Village, The Village Timber Lodge is a charming log-style retreat that blends rustic cabin character with modern mountain comfort. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by the warmth of natural wood, soft lighting, and the feeling of being tucked away in your own private lodge while still being steps from dining, shopping, and year-round activities.

Inside, the home offers spacious living areas perfect for gathering after a day of lakeside adventures or time on the slopes. Large windows bring in the forest light, complementing the rich wood interiors and cozy lodge-style décor. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to share meals and moments together, while three well-appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms provide room to unwind comfortably at the end of the day. Whether you're sipping morning coffee before wandering The Village, settling in by the fire after exploring nearby trails, or enjoying an easy walk to evening entertainment, The Village Timber Lodge places you in the ideal location to experience everything Big Bear has to offer without ever needing to get back in your car.

Private parking, in-home laundry, and easy access to Meadow Park and the lakefront make your stay as effortless as it is inviting. This is the kind of cabin that feels both timeless and welcoming — a mountain escape designed for connection, slow mornings, and memories made close to all the energy of The Village yet rooted in the peaceful charm of classic Big Bear living.

Christian W.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Absolutely loved the place — all the comforts of a home away from home, with the intrigues you’d hope for in a wintry cabin, like a 4th-level loft accessed via spiral staircase, a secret passageway, a large wooded yard on all sides, a big wood-burning fireplace, a quirky doorbell. The separate switch for a powerful room-heater in the bathrooms is a wonderful touch.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the cabin and enjoyed all the unique details that make it feel like a true winter retreat—from the loft and spiral staircase to the fireplace and wooded surroundings. It's great to know the thoughtful touches, like the bathroom heaters, added to your comfort. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would be delighted to welcome you.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cabin was nice however it lacked basic amenities. For a week’s stay with 3 adults, 1 trash bag, 1 dishwasher pod, 1 dish towel, etc. The office did allow us to drive back to the office to pick up more however he did state, “we set you up for the first day”. No lighter provided to light the gas bbq. I guess you’re either expected to bring or buy your own!
