Assumable 2.875% loan! Camp Gold Dust is a 1948 time capsule with just the right amount of modern amenities, designed to evoke the feeling and style of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom. For the artist, the hipster, the romantic, the hiker… the Girl Scout, the Boy Scout, or Hardy Boy at heart—welcome home. Tucked beneath the pines and just a short walk from Big Bear Village—and only half a mile from the lake—this cozy, character-filled retreat welcomes you in with vintage lace curtains, the smell of cedar, and coffee gently whistling on the stovetop. A turn of the dial sends a record spinning through retro speakers. This 2-bed, 1-bath cabin is rich in history—names carved into the original boiler room door, curated Scout memorabilia, Smokey Bear prints, and historic signage throughout. The guestbook is filled with love letters from those who’ve made memories here for years. The kitchen and bath have been thoughtfully upgraded to preserve the cabin’s chic kitschy soul—featuring quartz counters, green tile, a vintage-style fridge, golden tile around a porcelain tub, West Elm fixtures, and a SMEG toaster. A new water heater, laundry unit, two AC window units, and air purifiers bring extra ease. A brand-new fireplace heater keeps things toasty as you read by the window or sink into the Joybird sleeper sofa. Dim lighting, green velvet chairs, Pendleton blankets, and an Eames-style rocker complete the look. Step through the Dutch door to a newly fenced backyard with a hammock, Adirondack chairs, a firepit, hot tub, picnic table, and string lights that glow as the stars come out. The exterior wood was fully sanded and refinished just two years ago, keeping its warm glow intact. Camp Gold Dust has even hosted film shoots, photo sessions, and a few familiar faces from TV, sports, and music. Fully stocked and STR-ready, with a legacy of loyal guests. Camp Gold Dust isn’t just a getaway. It’s the kind of place that stays with you.
