Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features significant recent upgrades that elevate it above its 1974 build date. Key improvements include a modernized kitchen with new countertops and tile, a newly installed central A/C system (a rarity for the area), and an updated fireplace. The interior shows well-maintained flooring and a clean, updated aesthetic throughout, though it retains its original rustic cabin footprint and single-bathroom layout.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8960, living area = 960.
Unlike the majority of cabins in Big Bear, this property features a newly installed central A/C system, providing a significant competitive advantage and enhanced comfort during warmer months.
Situated in the desirable Whispering Forest neighborhood, the cabin offers peak-a-boo views of Snow Summit and Bear Mountain ski resorts while maintaining close proximity to the lake and The Village.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the property's layout may present a bottleneck for larger families or groups, potentially impacting its utility as a high-occupancy vacation rental.
At 960 square feet for a three-bedroom home, the interior living spaces and bedrooms are relatively small, which may feel restrictive for buyers seeking more spacious mountain accommodations.
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.
