Truly a gem in Fawnskin, the most lovely of the villages in the Big Bear Valley, this beauty is a short walk to Fawn Park (soon to be renamed Freedom Park, in honor of the world renowned Bald Eagle, Jackie.) Turn left on Hwy. 38 from Cherokee Street and you will be at the Moose Lodge, then a little further is Captain John's Fawn Harbor and Marina. Turn right on Hwy. 38 and you will be at the beginning of the road to Holcomb Valley (historical gold mining.) Or drive 10 minutes across the lake to be at the ski resorts and The Village. Yet you will find you are still removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourists on the south side of Big Bear Lake. Find your peace amongst the pine and oak trees, hummingbirds and blue jays. This home can be sold fully furnished including all appliances, for no extra cost! Or totally empty! You make the call!
