Introducing Bear Mountain Hideaway Lodge, a picturesque retreat on over an acre of beautiful landscape with pine trees, apple trees, and jasmine. Established in 1912 as Blackthorn Lodge and expanded in 1971, the property features five two-bedroom homes, a detached garage, and a workshop.
The Lodge operated as a long-term rental from 1987 to 2022 but has since been revitalized. It now includes three units at 560 Jeffries: the newly renovated “Backway Hideaway,” a popular short-term rental, and two other homes with long-term tenants at below-market rates. This setup presents a great opportunity for higher rental income or conversion to short-term rentals, especially since the Lodge's grandfathered status exempts it from Big Bear Lake’s rental restrictions.
Alternatively, an owner could live in one home and earn rental income from the others. The property is also available as part of a 2-parcel portfolio with 572 Jeffries, which includes two short-term units and potential for development.
Located within walking distance of Big Bear Lake, near The Village Shops, and a short drive to Snow Summit Ski Resort, Bear Mountain Hideaway Lodge offers an ideal setting for relaxation and adventure. Whether as a boutique hotel or a personal residence with rental income, this property exemplifies the best of mountain living. Don’t miss the chance to own this piece of Big Bear Lake history.
Property can be purchased as a standalone or along with 572 Jeffries St, directly adjacent.
