Description

Set in a prime location with delightful views of Boulder Bay, Bayview Retreat is a two-story home located within walking distance of the lake.

It's easily accessible and conveniently positioned just a five-minute drive from some of the best hiking trails in the Southern California Mountains, like the Castle Rock Trail.

In this charming home, the layout is thoughtfully designed with a reverse floor plan.

The main level adopts a great room feel characterized by wooden floors, T&G interiors, high beamed ceilings, and an inviting stone fireplace, creating a warm and cozy ambiance.

The modern eat-in kitchen, outfitted with tile floors, smoothly transitions into the living area and features a breakfast bar for quick meals or casual chats over coffee.

This inviting setting is the perfect place to create and share meals, adding to the overall enjoyment of your stay.

Moving to the lower level, you'll discover a game and family room. Equipped with its own fireplace and kitchenette, this area invites fun and relaxation.

You can enjoy a lively game of pool, engage in a friendly match of darts, watch a movie, or simply stretch out and spend quality time with your loved ones.

Stepping outside from the lower level, you'll find yourself in a park-like setting.

The fully fenced and gated yard offers a feeling of seclusion and security, while the inviting Jacuzzi beckons for a soothing soak under the stars.

The serene neighborhood encourages long, leisurely strolls and offers easy year-round access.

On the deck, there's a grill ready for your barbecue evenings, and an enclosed backyard with a hot tub to unwind after a day of mountain adventures.

The house maintains a pristine cleanliness and evokes a rustic cabin feel that you'd expect in a mountain retreat.

   • Coyote Warning: Coyotes are extremely prevalent in Big Bear, even in the most densely populated areas. If you see one, you can bet they’re part of an unseen pack. These animals are bold and territorial. They pose a significant threat to pets. For their safety, never leave your pets unattended, even in fenced areas, especially after dark. Coyotes are known for their ability to overcome barriers, including high fences. And they’re even known for attacking pets that are on a leash. We cannot overstate the need for heightened vigilance concerning your pets' safety.
