Malabar Mountain Manor: True log-cabin,quiet area!

Log-cabin tucked in the forest!

This cozy and spacious cabin is located in the San Bernardino Mountains and really provides that authentic cabin feel.

• 3 bedrooms
• 2 full baths with a tub

Cuddle up next to the wood-burning fire and watch your favorite movies on the smart TV or DVD player in the living room.

The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare your own meals.

The cabin is located in Big Bear City and about 10 minutes from The Village (a hub of shops and restaurants) as well as Snow Summit Ski Resort and Bear Mountain Ski Resort.

The cabin has three bedrooms:

• The first bedroom has a king-size bed
• The second has a queen bed
• The third has two twin beds with two trundle beds as well

There are two bathrooms, each with a tub/shower combo. The cabin has lots of games for you to enjoy as well. Staying at Malabar Mountain Manor will truly enhance your Big Bear experience.

I like to give guests their space but am always just an Airbnb message away if needed.

House is located on the outskirts of town. About 10-15 minute drive into Big Bear Lake.

16. Do I need snow tire chains to get to Big Bear?

    • During the winter months, carrying chains on you is almost always required, unless your car is a four-wheel drive. Storms may be unpredictable, and therefore it helps to have them. Additionally, during the winter months, the CHP may stop you to see if you have them and ticket you if you don’t. You can check chain requirements and road conditions at Caltrans.com. 4x4 is recommended during winter months due to steep driveway. We are not responsible if you are not able to get up the driveway.
