More Insights
Built in 1932 (93 years old).
Condition: Built in 1932, this log cabin retains significant original and rustic features, as highlighted by the description and images. The kitchen, in particular, is highly outdated with vintage appliances (refrigerator, stove/oven) and an exposed water heater, indicating a need for substantial rehabilitation. While 'lovingly cared for,' this implies maintenance of its original state rather than modernization. The property analysis explicitly notes 'Advanced Age & Potential System Updates' for electrical, plumbing, and heating, suggesting major components require significant repair or replacement to meet modern standards and safety. The absence of visible modern updates throughout the interior, coupled with the property's age, places it firmly in the 'poor' category, requiring substantial investment for modernization and system upgrades.

About this home
Step back in time to the classic charm of Big Bear with this rare 1932 log cabin, set on over an acre of pine-studded land in the peaceful community of Fawnskin. Lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 60 years, this 4-bedroom retreat embodies the timeless spirit of mountain living. Inside, original wood floors, exposed log beams, handcrafted cabinetry, and a massive stone fireplace create a warm and authentic gathering space. Rustic details—like the hand-carved staircase and built-in benches—highlight the irreplaceable craftsmanship throughout. Two inviting porches overlook the treetops, offering the perfect setting for quiet mornings or sunset views. A detached bunkhouse with its own bedroom and bathroom provides added privacy for guests, while the property itself carries a touch of Hollywood history—once owned by actor Lew Ayres, who purchased it as a gift for Ginger Rogers. With its vintage character, expansive grounds, and unforgettable setting, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Big Bear legacy property.
