💰 $400K+ in Vacation Rental Revenue Over the Past 4 Years
This Big Bear cabin isn't being marketed solely on what it could generate.
According to the listing, it has produced:
$400,000+ in Vacation Rental Revenue Over the Past Four Years
That's more than $100K per year on average over that period against a current asking price of just $619K.
And the location is particularly strong for a mountain STR: three blocks from the lake, one mile from Snow Summit and five blocks from The Village.
🏡 The Asset + Investment Story
541 Georgia St, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315
💰 Price: $619,000
💵 4-Year Gross Rental Revenue: $400K+
📊 Average Annual Revenue Over That Period: $100K+
📈 Average Revenue / Current Price: ~16.2%+

🛏️ 3 Bedrooms
🚿 2 Bathrooms
📐 1,474 Sq Ft
⛷️ 1 Mile From Snow Summit
🌊 3 Blocks From Big Bear Lake
🏘️ 5 Blocks From The Village
🚗 Oversized Heated Garage + Flat Driveway
⚡ New Whole-Home Generator
❄️ Central Heat + A/C
At the current asking price, the home's $100K+ average annual revenue over the last four years equates to roughly 16.2% of the $619K purchase price.
That's not a cap rate—the full P&L and operating expenses still matter—but it's an attractive top-line history for a property at this price point.
The thesis: buy an established Big Bear vacation rental with $400K+ of four-year revenue history in a location that puts guests close to the lake, skiing and The Village.
🎿 A Location Built Around Year-Round Demand
The biggest physical advantage here may actually be the location.
Guests are just one mile from Snow Summit, three blocks from Big Bear Lake and five blocks from The Village.
That gives the property multiple reasons to book throughout the year—from ski trips and snow weekends to summer lake vacations, hiking and trips centered around The Village.
There's also a flat driveway, a meaningful convenience during winter. According to the listing, the home's proximity to a school also means its street is among those prioritized for plowing after snowfall.
⚡ Mountain-Home Upgrades That Matter
The property has several practical features that can make a difference in a mountain STR.
A newly installed whole-home generator provides backup during outages, while central heating and A/C provide year-round climate control.
There's also an oversized heated garage with additional washer/dryer hookups, creating plenty of room for vehicles, skis, snowboards and other mountain gear.
These aren't flashy resort amenities—but they're useful features for operating a year-round Big Bear rental.
💸 Financing
At a $619K acquisition price with more than $400K of reported rental revenue over the past four years, this could be worth evaluating with lenders that understand vacation-rental properties and STR income.
Depending on the borrower, property and lender requirements, potential structures can include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio and other STR-focused financing options.
If you're trying to determine what your down payment could look like, whether the property's historical rental revenue can help it qualify, or which loan structure makes the most sense for your situation, our STR lending partner can help walk you through the options.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out
💰 $400K+ Revenue History — more than $100K per year on average over the past four years.
📊 ~16.2%+ Average Revenue / Current Price — based on the four-year average and today's $619K asking price.
🎿 1 Mile From Snow Summit — easy access to one of Big Bear's major winter demand drivers.
🌊 3 Blocks From the Lake + 5 Blocks From The Village — strong positioning for summer and year-round stays.
⚡ Whole-Home Generator + Heated Garage — practical upgrades that are especially useful in a mountain market.
⚡ Bottom Line
$619K. $400K+ Over 4 Years. $100K+ Average Annual Revenue. ~16.2%+ Average Gross Revenue / Price.
This is an established Big Bear vacation rental at a relatively approachable price point, with a revenue history that has averaged more than $100K annually over the last four years.
But the location may be just as compelling: one mile to Snow Summit, three blocks to Big Bear Lake and five blocks to The Village, giving the property access to Big Bear's major year-round demand drivers.
For an investor looking for proven performance rather than just a revenue projection, that's what makes this one interesting.
