Frank’s Old Bear – Your Classic Lakefront Sanctuary
Welcome to Frank’s Old Bear, a beautifully remodeled 940 sq. ft. single-story cabin that offers a rare opportunity to stay directly on the shoreline of Big Bear Lake. Nestled on a gorgeous treed lot in the scenic Boulder Bay neighborhood, this home perfectly blends the nostalgic "Old Big Bear" cabin feel with modern, high-end renovations.

🌊 Unbeatable Lakefront Location
Positioned on the quieter western edge of the lake, you get the best of both worlds—peaceful waters and easy access:
  • The Water: Step off your property and enjoy community boat dock access. Whether you’re fishing, kayaking, or simply watching the sunset over the water, the lake is your backyard. 🎣🌅
  • Boulder Bay Park: A quick stroll takes you to one of the most photographed spots in the valley, famous for its massive granite boulders and seasonal beauty. 📸🌲
  • The Village: You are just a 5-minute drive (or a scenic walk) from the shopping, dining, and entertainment of Big Bear Lake Village. 🛍️🍻
  • Skip the Traffic: Arriving via Hwy 18? You’ll reach your cabin first, avoiding the heavy traffic congestion of the central boulevard. 🚗💨
🏠 Modern Comforts & Cozy Vibes
Inside, the cabin features a bright, open floor plan with fresh updates designed for relaxation:
  • The Living Room: Sink into premium leather furnishings and warm your toes by the toasty wood-burning fireplace. Catch the big game or a movie on the large flatscreen TV with Cable and High-Speed Wi-Fi included. 🪵🍿
  • Kitchen & Dining: The fully equipped kitchen features everything you need for home-cooked meals, including two separate dining tables to accommodate the whole group. 🍳🍷
  • Ease of Access: Being a single-level home, it is incredibly suitable for elderly guests and families with small children—no steep mountain stairs to worry about! 🏠✨
🛌 Sleeping & Bathroom Arrangements (2BR / 2BA)
This cabin comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests with a thoughtful layout:
  • Bedroom 1: Features a cozy Queen Bed and a private flatscreen TV with Cable. 🛌📺
  • Bedroom 2: Perfect for kids or friends, featuring a Full/Twin Bunk plus an additional Twin Bed and its own TV. 🛌✨
  • Bathrooms: Includes one full hallway bathroom and an additional 3/4 bathroom (shower only) located conveniently off the kitchen. 🚿🧼
🌳 Outdoor Living & Pet Paradise
The outdoor spaces at Frank’s Old Bear are truly what set it apart:
  • The Front Deck: Spend your afternoons on the expansive deck overlooking the water. It features a piped natural gas BBQ (no propane tanks to worry about!) and modern patio furniture. 🥩🌊
  • The Backyard: A rare find for lakefront properties—a spacious, fully fenced backyard. It provides a secure environment for kids to play and 2 pets to roam (with fee) while you soak in the alpine air. 🐕🌲
🚗 Parking & Safety
  • Parking: Level driveway with room for 2 cars.
  • Safety: Equipped with smoke/CO2 detectors, fire extinguisher, and a secure lockbox for self check-in. 🔑🛡️

Recommended retreat
This was just the retreat my family needed. The lake view was spectacular! The cabin was cozy and just what we expected. The heater worked wonderfully and kept us warm and toasty. The front shower was okay(probably needs a new shower head), but the back shower was the best! The water was HOT and hit the spot! It was very clean and livable. It could use a deep clean, but whose house doesn't? There were plenty of utensils and pans in the kitchen for cooking whatever we needed. There was even some left over coffee grounds that saved our first morning. Guest tip: Use the WiFi info posted on the refrigerator. There is a wood burning fireplace that was perfect for the evenings when we were just hanging out and reading. It was a wonderful stay and I would 100% recommend it. Oh, did I mention the lake view? We were feet from the shore!

serene setting, with lake front location
If you like quiet, privacy, and a beautiful lake view consider Frank's old Bear. Nothing fancy, but adequate space and house is well stocked with kitchen equipment for food prep & eating utensils. Location is not far off Bear Valley Rd., so you don't have to drive far to shop or find activities to do. The grand kids and I had a good time.
