Off the beaten path
This 2,090 sq. ft home is nestled at about 7,500 ft (2,286 m) elevation into the South face of the mountains right above Bear Lake. It was built in 1972 and originally owned by USA alpine skier, Ni Orsi, who competed in the men's downhill at the 1964 Winter Olympics. Bordering the Stanislaus National Forest on three of its property sides and only being 150 yards from Bear Lake, it features treetop views across the valley all the way to the distant peaks bordering Yosemite National Park.















Its unique architecture and layout make this home with 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms, spread out over three levels, feel as comfortable for two people as it does for a couple families, or a group of friends. Both the living room and main bedroom have soaring cathedral ceilings and a wood burning fire place each, creating a spacious and cozy feel.
The cabin layout:
-
On the way to the upper level of the house you’ll find a small kids room with a double bed and a small desk. The master bedroom (king bed) at the top comes with a spacious closet room that (if needed) can sleep one or two smaller kids or be used as office space.
It also has a deck with amazing views into the mountains as well as a wood burning fire place. -
Go through the main entrance, up a couple of stairs, and you’ll walk right into the living room with a wood burning fireplace surrounded by plenty of room to hang out, play or relax.
The big deck, spanning across the whole frontside of the house, features great views into the mountains and gets lots of sun, during summer and winter.
Off to the right is the dining room, kitchen, pantry with washer and dryer, as well as a half bath. -
From the driveway walk up to the outside deck and you’ll find a hot-tub on the side deck, the winter entrance with a mud-room, full guest bedroom (king bed), a second bedroom with 4 twin bunk beds and a full bathroom.
