Description
BIG BEAR CABIN WITH DOCUMENTED SHORT-TERM RENTAL HISTORY Looking for a Big Bear cabin you can enjoy yourself and one that already has an established rental track record? This 3-bedroom home in the Whispering Forest area of Big Bear City offers both. Under current ownership, the cabin has been successfully operated as a short-term rental with a strong guest history, including a 4.98/5 rating, 127 reviews and 98% five-star reviews.
Unlike a property being marketed only on projected rental potential, this home has actual operating history. Airbnb earnings reports for 2024, 2025 and 2026 year-to-date are available to serious buyers for review and due diligence. Inside, you'll find a warm mountain feel with a gas fireplace, an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, interior laundry, three bedrooms and one full bathroom.
Central air conditioning—plus a dedicated split A/C system in one bedroom—adds a level of year-round comfort that's not always easy to find in a mountain home. Step outside to multiple decks surrounded by pines and mountain scenery. The approximately 8,960 sq. ft. lot offers plenty of outdoor space, along with convenient driveway parking.
The location puts you within easy reach of Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, Big Bear Lake, The Village, hiking and biking trails, restaurants, shopping, skiing and snowboarding. Use it as your own mountain getaway, a second home, or explore continuing its rental use subject to current permitting and regulations. Historical rental performance reflects operation under current ownership and is not a guarantee of future results.
Future short-term rental use is subject to applicable permitting, regulations and buyer verification.
