A best-kept secret in the San Bernardino Mountains are these remote cabins around Big Bear Lake in the National Forest. This adorable rustic "back in time" Recreation Residence has a filtered lake view through the trees. An expansive deck off the living room is like an additional living area in the summer. Enjoy coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening and relax to the sound of the birds in the trees that surround the cabin. Inside, you'll find a homey, woodsy interior with a wood-burning stove in the corner of the living room. The kitchen has an antique wood-burning cookstove as well as an electric stove. A dining nook in the kitchen features a picture window letting the outdoors come inside. The 2 bedrooms are upstairs along with the full bath. There are some additional unique features about this cabin: it's on a mountain spring, so no water bills and it's on a public sewer system, which is rare in the Forest. There is ample space around the cabin and plenty of places to hike or mountain bike. The public launch ramp is in close proximity, as is the little town of Fawnskin. The drive to the south shore is only about 15 minutes where you can go skiing, shopping, dining, or golf. The owner may be willing to finance with 50% or more down payment and your good credit. No bank financing is available on these cabins nor can they be used as a primary home or short-term rentals.
