Nestled in the tranquil Gilner Point area, this charming property feels like a personal forest retreat while being close to the lake and a very short drive to Holloways marina. The backyard is a haven of natural beauty, with towering trees, and even apple and pear trees that add a touch of orchard charm. The rear deck offers the perfect spot to soak in the serene surroundings, where all you’ll see are trees, trees, and more trees. The large lot includes a handy storage shed, with electricity, and a side driveway with additional parking. Inside, you’ll find a cozy living room centered around a wonderful fireplace with built-in wood storage, especially nice for chilly Big Bear nights. The upgraded kitchen boasts sleek stainless-steel appliances, making cooking a joy. The master bedroom is on the entry level, with 2 more bedrooms and a bath upstairs. Although the home is sold unfurnished, it has the potential to be turn-key with a strong offer. It’s permitted for short-term rentals now but has never been used as one, so the possibilities are wide open. This part of Big Bear is close to the west end for easy access from “down the hill”. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or a base to explore all the outdoor adventures Big Bear has to offer, this property delivers both charm and convenience.
