Keywords: Cabin
Located within two to three blocks to the center of The Village and just a five-minute drive to the Snow Summit Ski Lifts. Everything you will need is within close proximity once you land at this resort-like vacation rental. In the summer you can swim, boat, fish and sight-see from your own backyard. In the winter you can go skiing (alpine or cross-country), snowboarding, sledding/tubing and enjoy the beautiful snow. This is lakefront at a fraction of the cost of renting lakefront.
This beautiful lakefront condo is one of three units in a triplex. It was built in 1977 and the given name of the complex is: Lake Chalets. The name of our unit is: Lakefront Retreat. There are two buildings on the lot. The 1st building facing the street has garages and a unit above. The rear building has two units. Our unit is the top floor of the rear building, which has no shared walls and a huge deck with unobstructed lake views.
The two-story condo feels much more like a private home than a condo; there are no hallways to get lost in and it is very private. It has cathedral ceilings and tudor details. This does not feel like a condo or a triplex; it is much more private and feels like a cabin. The lot is over 9000 square feet sitting 'on' the lake. There is plenty of room for activities while waiting for your next boat ride/water ski, your next big catch, snow play or simply watching the boats come and go from the nearby, adjacent marina.
Bedding Configuration: The master BR has a queen-size platform bed featuring a down comforter with duvet plus down pillows with high thread count linens. The master features its own large closet with remote color 20-inch TV with DirecTV and DVD player. It also has end tables with lamps, alarm clock and antique armoire for storage of all additional linens, towels and blankets.
The second bedroom has a queen-size bed with down comforter and duvet plus down pillows 'and' a matching bunk bed separated by an end table with lamp and alarm clock. A modest stackable washer/dryer is in the closet for easy storage and access.
The third and fourth bedrooms are dual lofts separated by its’ own bathroom on the second floor. Each loft is open, with no walls, and has two full beds sleeping four total in the loft area. By the textbook real estate definition, these are not actual bedrooms. There is a closet in the bathroom and a hanging rack in the hallway. Drawers for clothes should be kept under the bed; each bed has three drawers under it.
Living Room: 40-inch Flat Screen TV with DirecTV, wireless internet (airport and ethernet), mac computer and DVD player. Enjoy a crackling fire in the rock fireplace on our comfortable ultra suede sectional couch.
Deck: Just off the Kitchen sits the Deck, that includes views of tall pine trees and clear skies for stargazing or snowfall. Enjoy the sunset from the sit-down views, while melting away the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Backyard: Oversized and huge, the backyard has room for any outdoor activity you can think of including, in the winter, making snow angels in the snow-covered backyard which lies just a few steps down from your own shared dock.
Kitchen: Fully-equipped kitchen with travertine floors, dishes and settings for 12 persons, and all appliances - oven/range for big meals, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, coffee maker and a steak knife set for your steak dinners. With amazing views of the lake through the sliding windows above the sink, and all kitchen utensils, pots and pans - you'll be hard pressed to find a better-stocked kitchen.

Our group of close family friends spent this past Christmas weekend at this lakefront cabin and all of us had a wonderful time. The kids had tons of fun snowplaying in the backyard which is right besides the lake. The cabin was clean and everything was thought of to make the stay comfortable. The location is great and you can walk to the village. The lake views from the cabin are amazing especially in the mornings. We would definitely be back this year.

We just returned from our 3 night stay at the cabin with our friends! Amazing place to ring in the new year! The condo is very spacious (plenty of room for 8 adults), in a perfect location (walking distance to the village and bars/restaurants) with spectacular views! Best part of the day was watching the lake and the ducks from the kitchen table, a real break from everyday reality! Kari was super responsive and professional, thus making the whole experience a great one! Thank you and we will be back soon!

Our group of 3 had an amazing time here. Perfect location, beautiful views, and convenient to everything. We fished from the dock, grilled on the patio, made smores at the fire place...all while enjoying the views of the lake and snowfall. Kari was so easy to work with and very accommodating - she even called to ensure we made it safely since we also had the first snowfall of the season the day we arrived. We'll definitely be back!

Perfect Snowy Escape

This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family trip: my fiancee and I, our almost 3 yr old son, a girl friend, and her 5 yr old son. Kari was extremely accomodating to our last minute booking and made the entire process painless. Once we arrived, the cabin was so welcoming,cozy, and private (perfectly matched the description)!! Kari is so considerate to provide all the amenities a family would need: plenty of extra blankets/pillows, a fully stocked kitchen, even down to the little details like Monopoly. We created some pretty incredible memories here. The view of the lake/backyard is gorgeous, the neighbors are very sweet, and everything you need is just minutes away: tubing/sledding, ski resort, grocery store, coffee shops, etc. Honestly, this was exactly the relaxing escape we all needed. We all felt INVOGIRATED with new found energy when we came home and on the ride down the hill, were already planning our next visit to Kari's lakefront paradise. Can't wait to come again. We really found an affordable gem. Thank you for everything, Kari, especially peace of mind!

I would give this 6 Stars if possible. Kari was so accommodating. The views were spectacular. The condo was extremely comfortable and homey and the kitchen was very well stocked. Our group of 6 had an amazing time relaxing, shopping at the Village, and fishing. We will definitely be back!

We had a great experience here. The condo was right on the lake, the views were great and it felt like we were the only people in the complex. It was a 5 minute walk to town, but unfortunately Starbucks moved to a new location further away, but there are a few other coffee places in town, so it was no big deal. We were able to have our dog with us and she loved the place. We were so grateful that they allowed us to have a pet there. The interior of the condo is very nicely furnished and the huge breakfast nook in the kitchen was awesome. You can eat and look straight out the huge sliding glass doors onto the lake. We definitely plan on going back again. The price is very fair as well.

Review Submitted: 05/25/11
This was the best place to stay for our family vacation. The 4 bedrooms worked perfectly for us, the kids, and grandkids. Everyone had room. Plus the dining table was perfect for playing games. (The Yahtzee game and some others were provided!) We could wakeup to the most beautiful view of the lake & my granddaughter loved to go out and feed the ducks in the morning. I liked that we could walk to town, the funplex, and restaurants. We had no idea where to stay in Big Bear, but this was great. We would stay there again! Nearby attractions we loved were zip-lining, running the trail on the North shore by the lake, hiking Castle Rock. The restaurant we liked best for lunch was Amangelo's.

This lakefront cabin was great. It was very clean and the view was amazing. I took a group of 5 boys and my dog up to the cabin and we had a great time. We fished right off the dock, went bowling and alpine sledding....it was a blast! I also have to say that the owner is very nice. This was a last minute trip and she worked with me to get it put together quickly. Thank you! I would definitely stay here again.
