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. This cabin has 3 bedrooms, and 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, and 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 guest their space but am always just an Airbnb message away if needed.
