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.
