More Insights

Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1974, has undergone significant recent updates that bring its condition to a 'Good' standard. The kitchen features new countertops, modern subway tile backsplash, white shaker-style cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing very clean and contemporary. The bathroom is also updated with a modern vanity, mirror, lighting, and a tiled shower/tub combo with a glass screen. A newly installed central A/C system and an updated fireplace further indicate recent investment in major systems and aesthetics. While the core structure is older, these extensive renovations, particularly in key areas, make the property move-in ready with a modern rustic appeal, aligning with the criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.

About this home

Escape to the mountains and indulge in the ultimate cabin retreat! This beautiful Big Bear cabin is located in Whispering Forest, one of the highly desirable neighborhoods in Big Bear City. This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin is nestled in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by soaring pine trees, beautiful views of neighboring cabins, and peak-a-boo views of Snow Summit and Bear Mountain Ski Resorts. Located on an 8,960 sq ft lot, this home offers privacy and seclusion while still being minutes away from the lake, ski resorts, hiking trails, boat ramp, and The Village (Big Bear Lake's hub for dining, shopping, and entertainment). The open-concept layout of the living room and dining area makes this cabin very comforting and inviting. The cabin features a big-picture window that offers a panoramic view of nature day in and day out. The kitchen has new countertops and modern tiles that truly complement the rustic feel of the cabin. The fireplace has been updated and it features a wall-mounted remote that creates a warm and welcoming ambiance, any season of the year. The laundry area is located on the main floor which is very accessible. This cabin has a newly installed A/C which is a major plus since only a few cabins in Big Bear have a central A/C system installed. The main floor already offers a lot to see but there is more to explore on the second level where the 2 spacious bedrooms are located, with one of the bedrooms having a private balcony. This cabin epitomizes mountain luxury and the perfect escape from city life. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to own a mountain cabin with breathtaking views.
