Cozy Historic Bear Valley Cabin

Built by the famous architect Donald McDonald in 1974, our cabin has all his original designs and architecture. Red carpets, 1970s light fixtures, and mustard pulldown shades are McDonald trademarks! The meadows to the side of the property are protected land, and coverd with wildflowers in spring and summer months. National forest backs the cabin, while the Bear Valley Lake is only steps away. An outdoor adventureres paradise, with trails and lakes galore!

This historic cabin is also our family vacation home, so we've put a lot of effort into making it a cozy mountain retreat! We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

The living area and kitchen are on the top floor, which afford amazing views of the surrounding mountains and meadows. *There are about 12 carpeted steps to the top (2nd) floor.*

The kitchen is small with original rustic cabinetry, but fully stocked with everything you could need for cooking delicous meals! All-Clad pots and pans, high quality Henkles knives, etc. A Weber Grill is also available upon request on the patio.

A comfortable sectional couch surrounds a solid wood coffee table. A large flat-screen TB is mounted and rotates for easy viewing.

All bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the first floor. Showers only, no bathtubs. The beds have new mattresses, with high threadcount white cotten sheets, feather-down comforters, and Pendleton blankets.

During the summer months, street parking is available. Walk 500 ft. to big beach at Bear Valley Lake. Private access is gratnded for HOA members our guests.

*** Our cabin is NOT avialble for rental during winter months, as the roads are closed and the village is only accessible by snowmobile.
