Updated vintage Chalet cabin walking distance to the Village, Lake AND National Forest. This charming cabin has many of the original details but modern updates including quartz counters, remodeled bathroom, solid wood doors and snazzy appliances. Enjoy starry nights and forest views from the hot tub on the spacious deck in the treed backyard. Open floor plan and cathedral ceilings makes this cabin feel much larger than the square footage suggests. All of the original knotty pine makes this the perfect spot to enjoy snowy winters in front of the roaring fire. Very desirable location for a 2nd home, vacation rental or full time residence. This cabin shows the pride of ownership and tasteful style. The backyard has a mild slope for easy sledding and also is located 1 house away from a million acres of San Bernardino National Forest for easy access to hiking, skiing, mountain biking, etc. There is a storage shed in the backyard for all of your summer and winter toys. Ample easy level parking for multiple cars or recreational vehicles. Big Bear Marina is less than 3/4 mile away if you want to be able to walk to your boat in the summer. You must see this one to appreciate.
