Built by the famous architect Donald McDonald in 1974, our cabin has all his original designs and architecture. Red carpets, original light fixtures and mustard pulldown shades are a McDonald trademark! . The meadows to the side of the property are protected land, and covered with wildflowers in the spring. A national forest backs the cabin, while the Bear Valley lake is only steps away. An outdoor adventurers 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 an amazing view of the surrounding mountains and meadows! *There are about 12 steps up to the top (2nd) floor.* The kitchen is small with original rustic cabinetry, but fully stocked with everything you could need for cooking delicious meals! All-Clad pots and pans, high quality Henkles knives, etc. A weber grill is also available on the patio. A comfortable and well-loved sectional couch surrounds a solid wood coffee table. A Large flat-screen TV is mounted on the wall, and movable for easy viewing. All bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the first floor. Showers only, no bathtubs. The beds have new mattresses, with high thread count white cotton bedding and Pendleton blankets. During the summer months, street parking is available. Walk 500 ft. to big beach on Bear Valley lake. Private access is granted for HOA members/guests. *Our Cabin is not available for rental during the winter months, as the roads in the village are closed and only accessible by snowmobile. We are available at anytime via phone or email. Be sure to pack all the FOOD and BASICS you might need during your stay! Bear Valley Lodge has a small general store with milk, eggs, cereal, etc. The nearest grocery store is in Arnold, about 25 minutes down the mountain from Bear Valley village. There is a pizzeria/bar at the lodge as well, and Alpine Lodge has great breakfasts and burgers in summer months! Please bring your own BEACH TOWELS. We only have bath towels at the cabin which we kindly ask you do not remove from the cabin.
