Description

Step back in time with this vintage Big Bear cabin tucked beneath the pines on a large, level, beautifully treed 7,500 sq ft lot in a charming area of Big Bear City. This sweet mountain hideaway is more than a property -- it's a piece of Big Bear history. In the 1950s, the cabin and its two outbuildings were part of a small boys' camp, and the nostalgic character still shines through today. The main cabin offers 1 bedroom, 1 bath, an inviting open floorplan, and a beautiful native rock fireplace that instantly transports you to classic mountain-cabin living. Recent upgrades include newer GFI outlets and a newer main electrical panel, blending vintage charm with modern convenience. Two additional outbuildings expand the possibilities. Outbuilding #1 (448 sq ft) is finished with electricity, new windows, recessed lighting, carpeting, and double interior doors connecting two rooms- a fantastic setup for a game room, bunk space, or cozy entertainment area. Outbuilding #2 (324 sq ft) offers electricity and is ideal as a workshop, storage space, or future creative studio. The property is partially fenced, dotted with mature trees, and located in a sparsely populated neighborhood with multiple vacant lots across the street- a peaceful setting perfect for enjoying the mountain lifestyle. It's also fully furnished, making it an excellent option for anyone seeking a ready-to-enjoy mountain retreat. Outdoor lovers will appreciate that the property is in full compliance with the Big Bear Fire Department Defensible Space Ordinance, with trees professionally thinned and approved through the National Forest Association's Forest Care Plan. Just minutes from town, the ski slopes, the lake, and all the outdoor adventure Big Bear is known for, this cabin invites you to imagine the possibilities- expand, restore, rebuild, or simply enjoy its nostalgic charm as it stands. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Come experience the magic of a true Big Bear classic.
