About this property

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, satellite TV, charcoal 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.

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!!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

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!
