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.

Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1974, this property has undergone significant recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features new countertops, modern tiles, and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom has also been updated with a modern vanity, tiling, and glass shower enclosure. A newly installed A/C system is a major upgrade. While some rustic elements like wood paneling remain, they are well-maintained and contribute to the cabin aesthetic, not indicating deferred maintenance. The renovations align with the 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' criteria for a 'Good' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Mountain Location: Situated in the highly desirable Whispering Forest neighborhood, offering quick access to Big Bear Lake, ski resorts (Snow Summit, Bear Mountain), hiking trails, and The Village.
Scenic Views: Features 'peak-a-boo views of Snow Summit and Bear Mountain Ski Resorts' and a 'big-picture window' providing 'panoramic view of nature' and 'breathtaking views'.
Rare Central A/C: A significant advantage in Big Bear, as it boasts a 'newly installed A/C' system, which is uncommon for cabins in the area.
Updated Interior Elements: Modernized kitchen with 'new countertops and modern tiles' and an 'updated fireplace with a wall-mounted remote' enhancing comfort and aesthetic.
Functional & Inviting Layout: An 'open-concept layout' in the living/dining area, a convenient 'main floor laundry area,' and a 'private balcony' from one of the upstairs bedrooms.

Cons

Limited Bathrooms: The property features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which could be a functional limitation for families or multiple occupants.
Property Age: Built in 1974, the home is 50 years old, which may imply potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the cosmetic updates mentioned.
Modest Square Footage: At 960 sq ft, the living space might be considered compact for a 3-bedroom property, potentially limiting comfort or utility for some buyers.
