This cabin on U. S. Forest Service land is remote as cabins go and that is a good thing for those who want to "get away from it all". Larger in size than the normal cabin at 1,131 sq. ft. , it features a true galley-size kitchen that was modern in the 1940s and 1950s, an indoor bathroom, a great big living room with a river rock fireplace, lofts on either end of the LR providing ample sleeping accommodations, and surrounded by windows, windows and more windows! When opened up it is like having a room in the middle of a forest seemingly with few walls. Hathaway Creek flows on one side of the cabin providing some of the best and most soothing sounds you can imagine. A large covered porch off the kitchen and living room offers cool shade in the summer and covered /dry access in the winter. The cabin has many possibilities after years of deferred maintenance items are taken care of. The cabin is within walking distance of Jenks Lake with row boating, hiking and fishing activities as well as hundreds of miles of hiking trails into the San Gorgonio Wilderness. Big Bear and the much larger Big Bear Lake plus skiing, shopping and restaurants are 28 miles away. Sits on Forest Service Special Use Permit land it cannot be used as collateral for a loan, cannot be used as an air BNB, and may not be used as a primary residence.
