Description

**The Quintessential Secluded Mountain Cabin everyone dreams about—welcome to “Serenity.”** Tucked away on 2.44 acres in a peaceful canyon setting, this modern log cabin offers rare privacy, natural beauty, and the true escape buyers are searching for. Surrounded by wilderness and backing to National Forest and conservation land, you’ll enjoy miles of scenic trails, seasonal stream sounds in the spring, and complete tranquility year-round. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the outdoor spaces shine with a spacious deck, spa, fire pit, BBQ area, patio swing, and custom picnic table—your own private mountain retreat under the stars. Inside, the open great room features soaring vaulted ceilings, a cozy pellet stove, and an inviting bar area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen—perfect for gathering with family and friends. The well-appointed kitchen offers generous space and a chef-style stove for easy entertaining. The layout includes two main-level bedrooms with a full bath and classic clawfoot tub, plus a loft-style third bedroom with its own ¾ bath—ideal for guests or flexible use. A separate laundry room adds convenience. Currently a permitted and successful vacation rental with San Bernardino County, this property offers both lifestyle and income potential. Located just minutes from Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, yet feeling worlds away, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Big Bear retreat where privacy, nature, and comfort come together. *Furnishings negotiable.*
