About This Home
Assumable 2.875% loan! Camp Gold Dust is a profitable 1948 time capsule with just the right amount of modern amenities, designed to evoke the feeling and style of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom. Tucked beneath the pines and just a short walk from Big Bear Village—and only half a mile from the lake—this cozy, character-filled retreat welcomes you with rich tongue and groove paneled walls and a trove of vintage treasures. A turn of the dial sends a record spinning through retro speakers. This 2-bed, 1-bath cabin is rich in history—names carved into the original boiler room door, curated Scout memorabilia, Smokey Bear prints, vintage pennant flags, and historic signage throughout. The guestbook is filled with love letters from those who’ve made memories here for years. The kitchen and bath have been thoughtfully upgraded to preserve the cabin’s chic kitschy soul—featuring quartz counters, green zellige tile, a vintage-style fridge, golden tile around an original vintage porcelain tub, West Elm fixtures, and so much more. A new water heater, laundry unit, two AC window units, and air purifiers bring extra ease. A new retro-style fireplace heater keeps things toasty as you read by the window or cozy up on the Joybird sleeper sofa. Dim lighting, green velvet chairs, Pendleton blankets, and an Eames-style rocker complete the look. Step through the Dutch door to a newly fenced backyard with a hammock, Adirondack chairs, a firepit, hot tub, picnic table, and string lights that glow as the stars come out. Camp Gold Dust has even hosted film shoots, photo sessions, and a few familiar faces from TV, sports, and music. It’s STR-ready and has a legacy of loyal guests. Furnishings, STR supplies, local team, and decor are negotiable to include, should you want to preserve the full nostalgic magic of this special place!
