Boulder Bay Getaway
Your personal guide to food, fun, and relaxation in Big Bear Lake
About the Cabin
Welcome to Your Mountain Retreat
Our property line extends to the second shed — that shed has games and fun extras for guests, and it's never locked! The hot tub is always ready and waiting, and we think you'll love the gigantic rain shower after a day on the slopes or trails.
Where to Eat
Things to Do
Village Walk
Stroll through Big Bear Village with its charming shops, cafes, and galleries. Great for an afternoon of browsing.
Lake Activities
Rent kayaks, paddleboards, or fishing boats. The marina is a 10-minute drive from the cabin.
Nature Trails
Castle Rock Trail is our favorite — moderate difficulty with stunning views. Alpine Pedal Path is great for biking.

Local Tips
Stater Bros and Vons are in the Village area. For a larger selection, stock up in the valley before coming up the mountain — prices are lower too!
Check Caltrans for road conditions before heading up. Tire chains may be required in winter — you can buy or rent them at the bottom of the mountain.
There's firewood in the shed! Just use the matches on the mantle. Please close the flue before leaving and don't leave fires unattended.
Bears are active in the area! Please keep all trash in the bear-proof bin by the driveway. Never leave food or trash outside.
The bean bag in the living room converts into a full bed — super comfy for extra guests! Watch this video to see how to unpack and convert it.
