A Fairytale Cottage with Vintage Big Bear Charm & STR Income! Step into a little piece of Big Bear history at this enchanting 1920s-era cottage in the desirable Forest Springs area of Big Bear City! Featuring a distinctive native rock exterior and decorative vintage fascia, this one-of-a-kind 1-bedroom plus loft, 1-bath home looks like something straight out of a fairytale. Lovingly restored shiplap wood paneling, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, warm laminate flooring, and a native rock fireplace create a cozy, romantic, old-world ambiance with modern conveniences. Abundant windows fill the interior with natural light, while the upgraded bathroom features a newer shower, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, and distinctive copper plumbing details. Upstairs, a charming loft bedroom with wood-plank walls and ceilings overlooks the inviting fireplace hearth below. Outside, a raised front deck offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, relaxing afternoons, and stargazing beneath Big Bear's mountain skies. The fenced backyard and existing storage shed provide additional utility and potential. With an existing short-term rental permit and rental income, this unique property offers an opportunity to enjoy your own mountain getaway while generating income. Competitively priced among comparable properties, this vintage gem is an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking character, affordability, and investment potential. Centrally located near the Alpine Zoo, Big Bear Lake, hiking trails, two ski resorts, golf, dining, and shopping, this petite mountain cottage puts Big Bear's year-round adventures within easy reach. A rare blend of history, charm, and mountain living.
