Investor Opportunity Just Steps from Snow Summit – Huge Value-Add Potential
Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Located just an 8-minute walk from the Snow Summit ticket window, this cabin offers one of the most desirable locations in Big Bear for a short-term vacation rental. Guests can leave the car behind and walk to skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and year-round events. Access to the private street is conveniently through the Snow Summit parking lot.
This is a true value-add opportunity. The cabin is ready for updating, giving the next owner the chance to renovate, modernize, and significantly increase both its appeal and rental income. With the right improvements, this property has the potential to become a highly sought-after vacation rental in one of Big Bear's strongest rental markets.
The main cabin features a spacious floor plan with fireplaces in both the living room and the primary suite, creating the mountain atmosphere guests are looking for. Large decks on two levels overlook the forest, providing inviting outdoor living spaces perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes or trails. Electrical service is already in place for a future spa—an amenity that can further enhance rental demand.
A separate bonus unit with its own fireplace and full bathroom provides added flexibility. While it is not included in the official bedroom count, it offers valuable additional space for guests, a game room, home office, or private retreat.
Parking for up to five vehicles is another significant advantage, especially for larger groups and vacation renters.
A professional short-term rental income analysis estimates an average daily rate of approximately $554 with projected annual gross rental income of approximately $67,000. The analysis projects an annual income range of approximately $40,000 at the 25th percentile to as much as $105,000 at the 75th percentile, depending on management, occupancy, seasonality, and property upgrades.
Whether you're looking for a personal mountain getaway with income potential or your next investment project, this property combines an exceptional location, renovation upside, and impressive short-term rental potential. Bring your vision and transform this diamond in the rough into one of Snow Summit's standout vacation rentals.
