382 Big Bear Trl, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

Nestled within the San Bernardino National Forest and directly across from beautiful Big Bear Lake, this charming rustic cabin offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Big Bear history. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy fresh mountain air, peaceful surroundings, and a true back-to-nature experience with all the comforts of home. This Recreation Residence cabin features a spacious loft bedroom with a king-sized bed, a secondary bedroom on the main level, a cozy living room, and a vintage-style kitchen that perfectly complements the cabin's character.

The covered deck provides the ideal setting for relaxing mornings and quiet evenings while taking in scenic lake views. The Time Bandit Pirate Ship can be seen as it makes its way down the lake to turn around down at the dam. Built in the early 1900s, the cabin retains its historic charm and character.

While it is not built to modern construction standards and could benefit from some updating, it is comfortable and livable as-is. An airtight wood-burning stove and wall heater provide warmth and comfort during crisp mountain evenings. The paved access road leads past the historic Big Bear Dam Keeper's House, adding to the property's unique appeal.

Behind the cabin, impressive granite rock formations create a dramatic natural backdrop, while the popular Castle Rock Trail is just minutes away for hiking and outdoor adventure. As a Recreation Residence, the cabin is considered personal property located on U.S. Forest Service land and is operated under a special use permit.

Ownership is limited to personal enjoyment by the owner, family, and guests. Short-term rentals are not permitted. If you've been dreaming of a classic mountain retreat where you can reconnect with nature while enjoying lake views, forest surroundings, and historic charm, this special cabin is a must-see.
