Charming Mountain Retreat Hits the Market – A Cozy Escape for All Seasons
The Californer/10315480

BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. - Californer -- A rare opportunity has arrived in Big Bear: a warm and welcoming 2-bedroom, 1-bath mountain cabin, built in 2005 and move-in ready. Nestled in a tranquil pocket of the mountains, this charming retreat is ideal as a full-time residence, vacation rental, or a peaceful creative escape.

With wood finishes, vaulted ceilings, and natural light throughout, the home exudes rustic charm and serenity. The open-concept living room features a cozy wood-burning stove — a perfect space for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying quiet time. The kitchen has a generous counter space and an eat-in dining nook for everything from quick breakfasts to dinners. A washer and dryer are included for added convenience.

The outdoor living space is a true highlight. Step onto the spacious, south-facing deck with views of the mountains — perfect for yoga, barbecues, afternoon naps, or stargazing under clear night skies. The fully fenced yard is great for pets and kids, and the gravel driveway comfortably fits 2–3 vehicles. Trails for hiking, walking, and running are just steps away, adding to the home's natural appeal.

What truly makes this cabin special is the emotional connection the seller has with the home who shared:

"This home is very close to my heart. We moved in just months before the pandemic lockdown, not knowing the world would shut down. The living room by the wood stove is my favorite spot  where I worked on my watercolor artworks for my three illustrated children's books I'm currently publishing and painted nearly a hundred wildlife pieces.

That backyard became our sanctuary — a place for gardening, sunbathing, meditation, and afternoon naps. Trails are right outside the door, and major trailheads are less than half a mile away. My son trained there as a runner, perfect elevation for strength and endurance. It's also just few minutes from Big Bear Lake but away from the city center, so it stays peaceful even during peak tourist seasons.

The person who would love this home is someone active, meditative, or creative — someone who appreciates simplicity, nature, and a quiet place to recharge."
