898 Brier Trail

Just .3 miles from Boulder Bay Park and lake access and 1 mile from the Castle Rock Trailhead, this fully remodeled Big Bear Lake cabin blends modern comfort with the kind of alpine setting people hope to find in the mountains but rarely do. Nestled among towering pines and sculpted granite boulders, with no rear neighbors and undeveloped treed acreage behind, the property feels like a private forest hideaway—quiet, sheltered, and a world away from daily life, yet close to the lake, Village, and ski resorts. Boulder Bay is known for its calm waters, scenic shoreline, and iconic rock formations, making it one of the most sought-after pockets on the lake. Remodeled down to the studs within the last three years, the home features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, recessed lighting, new vinyl plank flooring, and a newly installed stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen and bathroom were completely rebuilt with new cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes, along with new interior and exterior paint, a new roof, new water heater, and updated systems. The layout includes 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, an additional bunk sleeping area, and an enclosed sunroom perched among the boulders—an unbeatable spot for slow mornings with coffee, reading on rainy afternoons, sunset cocktails, or watching snow fall under the pines. Large windows and sliders frame forest views and draw natural light throughout the day, creating a cozy and inviting interior during all four seasons. A multi-level rebuilt deck system extends into the landscape, creating distinct outdoor rooms for lounging, dining, stargazing, or sharing summer meals under the trees. The 6,120 sq ft lot offers usable outdoor space and direct access to boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and winter recreation. With its rare setting, thoughtful renovation, and storybook outdoor living, this turn-key cabin lives beautifully as a personal mountain retreat and an inviting place to gather with visiting friends and family.
