About This Home
As of August 2025This beautifully updated and easily accessible Big Bear charmer offers stunning Bear Mountain views and is just steps from the Rathbun Creek Trail—perfect for outdoor lovers! Located within walking distance to the resort shuttle, it’s ideal as a full-time residence or vacation getaway. The home now features a spacious master suite on the lower level, and with two additional flexible spaces, it can easily sleep like a 5-bedroom—great for hosting guests or extended stays.
Enjoy the sunroom off the living area and a sunny front deck to soak up the Big Bear sunshine. The finished bunk room adds even more room for guests or can double as a game room. Recent upgrades include a newer roof, dual-pane windows, updated kitchen and bathrooms, newer carpet and paint, central forced heat, a new fireplace insert, Trex decking, and a fenced backyard. With its prime location and thoughtful updates, this home has everything you need to enjoy mountain living year-round.
