RARE OPPORTUNITY! Tucked into the highly desirable Minnelusa Canyon in Fawnskin, this unique government-lease cabin offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Big Bear history. The oldest portion of the cabin reportedly was originally a log bunkhouse for the Stanfield Ranch. In the 1920s, it housed the San Bernardino County Rod and Gun Club. During Prohibition, it became a watering hole for Hollywood visitors who sought a private escape in the mountains. Longtime canyon residents recall evenings spent listening to Jimmy Durante play the old upright piano, which remains in the cabin today. A dozen historic mounted wildlife heads, passed down through generations, gaze down on the living room. The cabin unique location offers extremely rare year-around accessibility and allows easy walks to Big Bear Lake. A recently added large and sturdy porch offers stunning views of the lake and ski slope views. Surrounded by towering pines in the National forest, the location offers both privacy and a welcoming embrace from neighboring cabin owners. As the heart of the cabin, an efficient wood burning stove has been inserted into the majestic old stone fireplace. It radiates warmth throughout the living room and creates a classic cozy mountain cabin atmosphere, perfect for snowy evenings or relaxing after a day on the lake or slopes. Six historic pieces of furniture made in Big Bear in the 1920s enhance the cabin's aura. The living room is brightened by 3 modern skylights, one with a remote controlled window and rain sensing auto-close. The 250 square-foot basement, a seldom-seen fea
