Bear Valley Cabin - Ski to Cross Country Trails!
You'll feel a palpable sense of peace and privacy at this 2-bedroom, 1-bath Bear Valley vacation rental! Accessible only by snowmobile in the wintertime, this cabin will feel more like your very own, secret ski chalet. When you're not cozied up beside the wood-burning fireplace, spend days on nearby cross-country trails or shredding the slopes at the resort 5 miles away. Alpine Lakes, Hiking Trails, and Mountain Biking make this a great year-round getaway!

Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: 2 Twin Beds, 2 Queen Beds
Towering pine trees surround Bear Valley Village, home to your 1,300-square-foot cabin. If youāre visiting in the wintertime, strap on the snowshoes and skis, or opt for the available snowmobile service to access this secluded, snowy abode!
Warm up after a day on the slopes by tossing a log into the wood-burning fireplace! The chef in your crew will have no problem whipping up an aprĆØs-ski snack in the fully equipped kitchen, which you can enjoy with a movie on the flat-screen TV in the open-concept living space.
Summertime guests can fire up the charcoal grill for some late-night burgers and beers beneath a blanket of stars! Don't forget to throw a load into the in-unit laundry machines so you can grab your ski gear and hit the mountain first thing in the morning!
-- THE LOCATION --
This secluded mountain retreat resides just a short Quarter-mile walk from the heart of Bear Valley Village, where you'll find a general store, lodge, snowmobile rentals, and world-class trails for cross-country skiing!
Cruise along snowmobile trails leading right up to your door, or head over to Skyline Bear Valley Mountain Resort for some adrenaline-pumping downhill skiing only 5 miles away.
Summertime visitors will enjoy easy access to an abundance of Alpine County's outdoor activities including hiking, swimming, mountain biking, bouldering, and more!
Locals recommend half-day hikes such as Bloods Ridge and Inspiration Point, which are only a few minutes' drive away! Make the 4-mile trek to Lake Alpine for a leisurely day of kayaking or boating on a rented watercraft.

Winter Wonderland
Booking this cabin was easy. The cabin was perfect in size, location, very well maintained and well equipt with everything you need for a winter getaway! Kids and adults had fun playing in the snow and building a snowman with the snow right outside the cabin, or just enjoying the amenities, wifi, cable, boardgames, etc. Plus the general store is nearby for any extra needs of food/snacks/ and winter gear. Would highly recommend and can't wait to spend another winter vacation here as well as a summer stay!

Great Fishing Getaway
Quaint 70s-style cabin in very nice surroundings. Even though the property was a bit dated it was very clean and had all the accommodations needed for a pleasant stay. We used it for our annual āguys fishing tripā and it was great. The fishing at Lake Alpine was a blast and easy to get to from here.

For hardy souls.
The cabin and amenities were fine. There was an odd smell in the kitchen. Maybe the head of garlic that had been left behind? The fridge contained many already opened food items. We didnāt use any of these and didnāt leave any. The three local restaurants are not reliably open, so be sure to have enough food in the cabin. In the winter itās a long uphill walk to the cabin at 7100 feet altitude through snow and ice. Plan on using one of the local informal snow mobilers to get your belongings up and back. Would stay again.

Homey cabin in the woods
This cabin was just our speed- great for families with kids for a weekend getaway at the end of summer. It leans more towards the "vintage" feel, but it was certainly clean and comfy. We'd be happy to come back.

well equipped, nice place for a family with older kids or small group
We came for a long summer weekend at nearly Lake Alpine, and planned to use it as a home base for outdoor adventures. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The cabin is located in the residential neighborhood of Bear Valley, on a sloping lot about 5 min drive from the main road. Easy to find (though there is no way I would attempt to walk here in the wintertime, it's uphill the whole time). The cabin comes with all the essentials, and has a feeling of being well-loved and used by the owners, because we found items like ziploc bags, cleaning supplies and seasonings as well as board games without pieces missing. 4 beach towels were provided. There were even camping chairs which came in handy sitting by the lake. Linens were nice and towels were fluffy. Wifi worked fine. Kitchen knives could definitely use an upgrade. (If you plan to cook a lot and care about that, bring your own.) There was a charcoal type bbq with a very basic plastic table on the outside deck, which we didn't use. The deck is big enough to sleep on but we skipped that because the nearby wildfires made the air smoky. the carpeting could use replacing, my daughter who is allergic to dust had trouble with that. The whole place could use a thorough dusting on the less often touched surfaces, but overall the place made a clean impression, bathroom and kitchen were very clean. Because it was hot during the day, the upstairs kids loft got quite hot at night, even though we had the windows open and fans running - not a ton of cross ventilation. Downstairs was better but if you're the type of person who needs to sleep with AC on, you might have trouble in the summer here. My guess is this would not be an issue in wintertime. We did enjoy the living room fireplace for making some indoor smores. Plenty of firewood and fire starting supplies. I'd say this place won't disappoint if you're looking for a home base for a family with older kids. I don't recommend it for kids under 5 - the stair railing up to the kids loft bedroom has huge gaps 3 feet apart which would not pass current building codes and the only bathroom is downstairs. Also the upstairs loft has no door, so everyone upstairs can hear what's going on in the main living space. Not a problem for a house that goes to bed at the same time. I'd come again for the convenience of having everything nicely stocked and proximity to the water fun nearby.
