Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1965, this cabin is well-maintained and currently used as a successful short-term rental, but it remains largely in its original vintage state. While it features some functional modern upgrades like an updated electrical panel, EV charger, and newer laminate flooring, the kitchen and bathroom are significantly outdated with 1960s-style cabinetry and basic fixtures. It is move-in ready but requires cosmetic and systemic modernization to meet higher quality standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7620, living area = 912.
The property is ideally situated within walking distance to the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, ski shuttles, and the Moonridge Corridor, making it a high-demand location for short-term rentals and vacationers.
Featuring a rare electric vehicle (EV) charger and an updated electrical panel, this 1965 cabin blends classic mountain charm with essential modern-day functionality and convenience.
With only one bathroom to serve two bedrooms, the property may experience functional bottlenecks during peak occupancy, potentially impacting its appeal to larger groups.
At just 912 square feet, the interior footprint is relatively small, which may limit comfort for long-term residents or those seeking a more spacious mountain retreat.
