This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home comfortably sleeps 9, making it perfect for families and groups. Originally built in 1920 and completely renovated down to the studs in 2013, it seamlessly blends modern conveniences with classic mountain charm. The spacious living area boasts vaulted ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and expansive windows framing breathtaking lake and forest views. The open kitchen features granite countertops, modern cabinetry, and a fully functional vintage Wedgewood stove, adding a unique touch to your cooking experience. Private guest quarters offer added flexibility for hosting, while a second family gathering space provides extra room to relax, entertain, or take in the scenery. Originally enjoyed by renowned artist Victor Clyde Forsythe, a close friend of Walt Disney, this space still holds preserved sketches and notes from his time here, adding a unique historical touch. Expansive decks and balconies provide the perfect vantage point to take in the ever-changing beauty of the lake, with direct access to some of Big Bear’s best outdoor activities just steps away.
