About this property

Historic Gold Pan Retreat - 7BR Gathering Cabin across from Big Bear Lake

The Historic Gold Pan Retreat is a spacious 3,500 sq ft mountain cabin located in the quiet community of Fawnskin across the street to Big Bear Lake. Full of character and historic charm, the home reflects the rich heritage of the area while offering comfortable spaces designed for gathering, relaxing, and spending meaningful time together. With ceilings over 12 feet high and large shared living areas, the cabin provides an open and welcoming atmosphere perfect for families and groups.

Guests can enjoy cooking in a commercial-style kitchen fully equipped with the tools and amenities needed to prepare meals for larger gatherings. The living room features solid wood, hotel-grade furniture built for durability and comfort, including reclining seating, a wood-burning fireplace with firewood provided, and a large 98" Smart TV for movies, sports, or relaxing evenings together. Bedrooms are equipped with 4K Smart TVs, and additional air mattresses are available for flexible sleeping arrangements when needed. The home includes heating throughout and air conditioning on the first floor for year-round comfort.

Unlike many mountain cabins with narrow driveways and limited street parking, the property offers easy access with ample flat parking both in the front and rear of the home. The rear area functions like a small parking lot and provides convenient step-free access to the first floor.

The cabin is located near Big Bear Lake, with fishing areas and lake access just a short drive or bike ride away. Being on the Fawnskin side allows guests to enjoy the beauty of the lake and surrounding mountains while staying in a quieter area away from the crowds.

Outdoor adventure is just minutes away, including snowboarding, skiing, tubing, mountain biking, hiking, and Big Bear’s well-known off-roading and overlanding trails. A local market is located directly across the street for quick essentials, while Big Bear Village, Vons, Stater Bros, restaurants, and shops are only minutes away. Rideshare and delivery services such as Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Uber Eats are also available when needed.

The property is well suited for larger gatherings and group stays, offering space to relax and enjoy time together comfortably. While the home allows guests to enjoy the space together, we kindly ask that guests remain respectful of neighbors and observe outdoor quiet hours.

The Gold Pan Retreat offers guests the chance to experience a historic part of the Big Bear and Fawnskin community while enjoying a comfortable and welcoming mountain escape.
