🚨 A Luxury Design-Forward Cabin That Performs as Well as It Looks

Most mountain cabins either prioritize design or rental performance.

This one appears to deliver both.

Offered at $860,000, this striking Scandinavian-inspired retreat generated seller-reported rental income of approximately $114,000 during 2025, pairing standout architecture with a location just minutes from Big Bear's lake, ski slopes, golf course, National Forest, and shopping.

With soaring ceilings, a dramatic 15-foot NanaWall glass wall, designer furnishings, and a resort-style outdoor living space, this isn't simply another cabin competing on price—it's the type of property guests remember, photograph, and return to.

For buyers seeking a turnkey luxury STR with strong historical performance and unmistakable visual appeal, this one deserves a closer look.

This property isn't being marketed on projections alone.

Seller-Reported 2025 Performance

💰 Approximately $114,000 in rental income during 2025.

Against an asking price of $860,000, the reported revenue creates an attractive gross revenue profile for a modern luxury mountain home.

As always, buyers should independently verify all financial information, booking history, occupancy, expenses, and future income assumptions.

✨ Architecture That Sells the Stay

One of the first things that separates this property from competing cabins is its design.

Rather than leaning into traditional rustic finishes, the home embraces a clean Scandinavian aesthetic with dramatic architectural elements that immediately stand out in listing photos.

Highlights include:

🏔️ 23-foot vaulted ceilings

🪟 15-foot NanaWall multi-glide glass wall

🌞 Abundant natural light

🪵 Warm minimalist finishes

🛋️ Mid-century modern furnishings

These are the kinds of visual features that often help listings capture attention in crowded vacation rental marketplaces.

🌲 Indoor-Outdoor Living Done Right

The NanaWall system opens the main living area directly to the expansive outdoor deck, creating a seamless transition between the home and the surrounding mountain environment.

Outside you'll find:

♨️ Private hot tub

🔥 Fire pit

🍔 Built-in gas grill

🍳 Dual outdoor burners

🚰 Outdoor sink

☕ Covered balcony

Whether guests are grilling after a day on the slopes or relaxing under the stars, the outdoor spaces are designed to be as memorable as the interior.

🍳 Completely Turnkey

The home is being sold fully furnished and ready to enjoy.

Included are thoughtfully selected furnishings that complement the home's contemporary aesthetic, along with a fully stocked gourmet kitchen complete with cookware, dishes, utensils, and glassware.

Other thoughtful features include:

🚗 EV charger

🚿 Tankless water heater

💻 Bonus office/flex room that can serve as a fourth bedroom

For buyers, that means less time preparing the home and more time enjoying it—or continuing its operation as a vacation rental.

📍 Minutes from Everything Guests Come to Big Bear For

Location is another major advantage.

Guests are approximately:

🏖️ Five minutes from Big Bear Lake

🎿 Five minutes from the ski slopes

⛳ Five minutes from the golf course

🌲 Five minutes from the National Forest

🛍️ Seven minutes from shopping

That combination supports year-round demand, whether visitors are traveling for skiing, hiking, mountain biking, boating, fishing, or summer lake vacations.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Flexible Layout

The home offers:

🛏️ Three traditional bedrooms

💻 Bonus office that functions as a potential fourth bedroom

🛋️ Open-concept living area

🍽️ Spacious entertaining layout

The flexible floor plan allows owners to accommodate multiple guest types while maintaining an open, modern feel.

💸 Financing & Tax Angle

🎯 Why This One Stands Out

1. 💰 Strong Revenue at an Attractive Price Point

The seller reports approximately $114,000 in 2025 rental income, creating a compelling revenue profile relative to the $860,000 asking price.

2. ✨ Design That Differentiates

Scandinavian architecture, soaring 23-foot ceilings, and the dramatic NanaWall glass system create a guest experience that stands apart from traditional mountain cabins.

3. 🌲 Resort-Style Outdoor Living

A hot tub, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, covered balcony, and expansive entertaining deck encourage guests to spend as much time outside as inside.

4. 📍 Prime Four-Season Location

Being just minutes from the lake, ski slopes, golf, National Forest, and shopping gives the property broad appeal throughout every season.

5. 🔑 Fully Turnkey

Designer furnishings, a stocked gourmet kitchen, EV charger, and thoughtful upgrades allow the next owner to continue operating immediately.

⚡ Bottom Line

It's rare to find a mountain property that combines seller-reported six-figure rental income, distinctive modern architecture, premium outdoor amenities, and one of Big Bear's most desirable locations.

For buyers looking for a luxury STR that stands out visually while already demonstrating strong historical performance, this Scandinavian-inspired retreat checks nearly every box.
