About this home

Charming Remodeled Cabin with Spectacular Mountain Views. Perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the Gold Mountains, this beautifully remodeled cabin captures both sunrise and sunset in one of Big Bear City's most desirable neighborhoods -- Poets Corner. Inside, the home has been fully redesigned with professional touches throughout, featuring tobacco acacia hardwood and slate stone flooring, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a wine fridge, dishwasher, and black galaxy granite countertops with a black granite sink and disposal. The laundry closet includes a new stackable washer and dryer with built-in storage. There are two bedrooms -- a primary with a king bed, and a guest room with two queens, both equipped with blackout blinds for comfort and privacy. The floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace creates a warm, cozy atmosphere while framing the stunning mountain views. The cabin also features central forced heat with Smart controls and a new water heater (installed 2025). Outdoor living shines here, with multiple spaces to relax and entertain -- a front balcony for morning coffee, a side patio for outdoor dining, and a private back and side yard complete with a spa and fire pit. From every angle, the views are nothing short of spectacular. Truly a must-see mountain retreat.

Despite being built in 1986, this property has undergone a beautiful and extensive remodel, as explicitly stated in the description and evidenced by the high-quality images. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, black galaxy granite countertops, and a wine fridge, all in excellent condition. Bathrooms are also updated with modern tiling and vanities. New tobacco acacia hardwood and slate stone flooring are present throughout. Major systems like central forced heat with Smart controls and a new water heater (installed 2025) indicate recent upgrades. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and appears virtually new inside, meeting current quality standards for a modern cabin.

Cons

Absence of Air Conditioning: While equipped with central forced heat, the property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer periods for some buyers.
Compact Living Space: With 1008 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, the cabin offers a smaller footprint, which may not suit buyers requiring more expansive living areas or additional rooms.
