About this property

SUN & FUN@Little Lodge/great rates, reviews, big smiles, laughs,family time🤩

Summer time & the livin' is easy at our Little Lodge. ***

Our wonderful family cabin is nestled in the picturesque Boulder Bay area, just about 8-10 minutes from the Village and the ski resorts! Across the street is open land, a peek a boo view of the lake can be seen from the lower deck off the living room and upper deck off the master bedroom. The living room has a 50" flat screen TV and DVD player along w/ a large stone gas fireplace to warm your tootsies and enjoy sharing about all those great hikes, your "BIG" catch of the day, that great run you took at Bear, play some horseshoes (even in the snow!) maybe a little bumperpool, ...perhaps enjoying some family/friend time by the fire, reading, watching a great movie with some popcorn and having that hot chocolate or glass of wonderful wine! BBQ in the sunny clear mtn.air...nothing quite like it!

This is the time to refresh, relax and renew, exactly what our Little Lodge offers.... A cozy cabin, games, family, friends, heart warming times full of unforgettable memories, a little BBQ, take a walk to the lake, watch some great movies on a large TV, hear the birds and feed the squirrels... your heart will smile... Our Little Lodge is ready for you to enjoy the peacefulness of quite Boulder Bay, cool sunny days, chilly star filled nights, 'family fun;) We invite you to stay with us for the most memoriable time in Big Bear! We hope to be able to share all our 'Little Lodge' has to offer with you, family & friends!
The garage has been converted into a playroom with carpet, TV/DVD, comfy chairs, bumperpool table and darts. Fun for the kids or a 'man cave!'

All 3 bedrooms have TV's and DVD players; the bunk room has some children's toys and books. We are kid friendly , everyone is welcome. The living room and upstairs master both have large sliding glass doors and many windows to enjoy the views! There is also a full size bed in the window seat (den next to the living room) complete w/ linens, pillows and blankets. Each room is decorated in a cabin/mountain theme w/ a splash of Bear fun thrown in :) One room even has that romantic touch!

This cabin has been in our family since 1963 when my parents built the first 700 sq. ft. In 2009 we completed a total remodel and additions to bring it up to 1800 sq. ft. We now have 3 generations of family memories, working on the 4th, and would love for you to share those w/ us and create your own!

Since the entire cabin is fairly new, all the linens, bedding, and towels are newly purchased in 2018, and updated again in 2022, we are constantly "renewing.".. Kitchen is completely stocked with most everything you would need. We provide guest soaps and lotions also! The appliances are fairly new, the washer and dryer also. For those of you who enjoy the old, we have saved a few relics. The brick fireplace in the dinning area is the original; we put a wood stove in and large comfy chair to sit 'by the fire!' Dining table seats 7 and there are 5 bar stools.......
So please take a real look at our ad. As mentioned earlier would love to share w/ you! Fun in the sun, snow; whatever you enjoy...BBQ on the covered deck while watching the kids play and hearing the sounds of laughter! New to 2020 is an outdoor ping pong table. Memories :) Maybe a little horseshoes in the snow, it's been done!!!???

***Note... Fall 2014 we added an additional 1/2 bath and additional 100+ sq. ft. that will replace the twin size bed in the window seat to a full size. Plus a little more space for those kiddies to 'camp out in sleeping bags' if they choose!***

****Free WiFi in every room.****Ample parking for 3 cars and your boat! 3 bikes available for your use also...summer only.

Great place for a family getaway!

We had a wonderful stay with our family. The cabin has been lovingly outfitted and it’s obvious that it’s a place that has seen many happy gatherings. The hosts really have thought of everything and our stay could not have been more comfortable. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful cozy home! Highly recommend

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this rental home in Big Bear over Presidents’ Day weekend! This was our second time staying here, and it was even better than the first. The property is cozy, clean, and situated in a lovely area where we enjoyed scenic walks and played in the snow. Our kids had a blast building snowmen and making unforgettable memories. The home truly felt like a perfect winter getaway. Linda was quick to respond to messages, communicated well and accommodated our needs! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning again! Highly recommend!

Home Away from Home

Our family loves spending our Thanksgiving together @ Little Lodge. It feels like home. The location is perfect for walks around the lake and through the neighborhood. A perfect way to enjoy our first holiday of the season. The host is more than amazing, there is so much love put into this cabin and it shows from the minute you walk in. We are already looking forward to next year!

A home with heart...

Our stay at this beautiful home in Big Bear was awesome. Our host left us a beautiful welcome basket with yummies for the kids and a lovely bottle of wine for the adults. The house is decorated with heart and plenty of positive messages. It has a good floor plan for a large family to get together and yet have privacy. It is by far the best rental I've stayed in. It is immaculate and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The host contacted me to see if we needed anything and was readily available for any questions. The home was near everything, and yet is a quiet neighborhood. I took some relaxing walks in this beautiful neighborhood, and wish I lived there.Don't hesitate on this one. You can't go wrong!

Amazing Cabin! Great Location!

We loved staying at this cabin! We visit big bear once a year, for the last ten years, and this was our favorite rental thus far. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. The host provided all ā€œhotel-likeā€ goodies such as welcome basket, tooth brush, make up remover pads etc. The cabin was meticulously labeled so it was very easy to figure out where things were in the kitchen, where to turn on lights etc. This rental came with plenty of linens, pillows, blankets and towels, which can sometimes be lacking in a VRBO rental. Our host was easy to work with and very communicative. We hope to stay at this cabin again.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Happy 2023! We are excited to share our wonderful home away from home w/ you! Our family consists of 16
and growing, 6 grandchildren, hoping for more 🄰. We live in OC w/ 1 son and family in Temecula, 1in Long Beach. There are 4 SDSU graduates, 1 LBSU, 2 Loyola grads and a University of Oregon Duck grad, and a Cal grad!!! This cabin has been in my family since the 60's...we remodeled all of it and added on 900 sq ft and a garage in 2009! So for 4 generations, starting with my grandparents, Big Bear has been in our blood. I learned to ski here as did all my children, and grandchildren...We truly hope your stay w/ us is perfect..lots of love and care has gone into our cabin..it's pretty special to us and ask that you care for it as carefully as we do. We want it to be around for generations to come!

Why they chose this property

Our cabin has been in my family since the 60's. My husband and I have taken the original structure, updated it, remodeled and added the 900 sq ft. The original footprint still exists. There is a picture that tells the entire story! There is definitely a special reason we keep coming back!!!

What makes this property unique

Little Lodge is located near Boulder Bay. My children have fished there, kayak and bike. We take great walks around the lake; walk to the small coffee shop for breakfasts. It's a great location for some R & R; also just a short drive to the Village and resorts for that fun. It's wonderful to come back after along fun filled day out. BBQ, swing on the front porch swing, play horseshoes, dats, ping pong, bags, etc...!Love to listen to the sounds of the pines at night, look at the all the stars and smell the fireplace burning...can't beat it!
