Hidden away in a storage room beneath Maz Kanata's Castle, Rey finds Luke's first / Anakin's second lightsaber
We last saw that weapon when Luke's hand was severed on cloud city, causing the hand and lightsaber to fall down the same chasm Luke later falls down.
How did it get from where we saw it last to eventually end up in Maz Kanata's Castle?
Answer
We don't know.
As commented above, she explicitly evades this question from Han in the movie.
We do know from Empire that Luke's hand was cut off and the light saber was presumably intact, simply lost somewhere in Cloud City or perhaps even Bespin. The original trilogy's protagonists were too busy trying to escape the empire to go back and look for it. It's possible Vader had a few storm troopers search it out and Maz got it from his possessions, but for now, this falls squarely into the category of information that we are not meant to know at this time.
