About this property

Entire place

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

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.

Beautiful big bear!
Absolutely gorgeous! Just a beautiful location :-) we went to celebrate my son turning seven and the host had such a great recommendation for a bakery nearby. Overall, lots of great coffee and sweets in the area as you're exploring. And there's so much to see! The cabin is so cute and fits the setting perfectly.

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.

Great Getaway!
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!

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.
