There is a certain kind of magic found in a soul-filled cabin in Big Bear and 716 Elysian Blvd captures that spirit perfectly. This home is overflowing with authentic character and the kind of cozy, wood-clad charm that modern builds could never replicate.

Inside, the home is a warm embrace of rich wood paneling and thoughtful timber detailing throughout. The living room serves as the heart of the cabin, anchored by a classic fireplace that practically begs for a crackling fire on a snowy evening. While the official footprint clocks in at a manageable 648 square feet, the layout feels remarkably intentional and surprisingly airy. The primary bedroom and bath provide everything you need for a mountain getaway, but the real “bonus” is the overhead loft. Not included in the square footage, this extra space serves as the perfect secret hideaway for guests or a quiet afternoon retreat after a day on the slopes.

The character extends well beyond the front door, as the cabin sits on an expansive 5,000-square-foot lot. In a town where outdoor space is often a luxury, this property offers a massive backyard that invites grand plans—think starlit dinners, a future ADU, or simply a private forest sanctuary for your morning coffee.

It’s no surprise that this home has carved out a reputation as a highly successful short-term rental. It possesses that rare, photogenic “cabin-core” aesthetic that travelers crave, making it as much a savvy investment as it is a personal sanctuary. Whether you’re looking for a turnkey rental or a quiet escape of your own, this Elysian Blvd gem proves that some of the best things really do come in small, perfectly crafted packages.
