Tucked among the trees in beautiful Big Meadow near Bear Valley, this one-of-a-kind US Forest Service cabin is a true piece of High Sierra history. Built in the 1930s by the original owners' grandparents, this charming stone cottage is unlike any other cabin in the meadow. It is the only stone cabin in Big Meadow, with every stone carried by hand to the property by the family who built it. The thick stone construction gives the cabin a timeless, storybook character. From the outside, it looks like something from a fairytale: a cozy little cottage nestled peacefully in the woods. Inside, the cabin offers rustic charm and simple mountain living, including a charming loft bedroom, cozy wood stove, and a classic claw-foot bathtub. Propane powers the cooktop, while a gas generator provides electricity and lighting. These special USFS cabins are privately owned through Forest Service permits, similar in concept to a land lease, with an annual permit fee paid to the U.S. Forest Service. Ownership comes with certain restrictions designed to preserve the historic character of the cabins, including requirements regarding the cabin's footprint, appearance, color scheme, and modifications. This is not simply a cabin-it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of family-built High Sierra history. This enchanting stone cottage offers a special connection to the past and a chance to carry its story forward.
