Big Bear Thrift and Treasure House

Used to love this place but it has lost a bit of its charm. They are a cash only business which makes it a bit difficult. Some neat stuff though.

This place is amazing. It took me an hour just to walk through. I could have spent all day there. The antiques were everywhere categorized and priced well. The owners were very pleasing and friendly. It reminded me of Knotts Berry Farm the way they had it set up. Going again whenever I’m in town!

Pricey but Rad!!! Lots of Fiesta Ware & great Metalsmith tools. Also the most wonderfully old kitchen cabinet collection I’ve ever seen.
This thrift spot is an old mining town, so all the free standing shacks have been made into a thrift shopper paradise.

When we were in Big Bear City, we noticed there were so much thrift stores and consignment places everywhere so we had to check it out! Luckily we checked this place out! It’s full of gems and treasures, outdoor! We didn’t get to buy anything but it’s worthwhile checking out all the cool stuff they organized. There are some unique items like vintage bicycle, carts, chairs and all other stuff you can think of. If you’re an antique collector, this is the perfect place for you. The man and lady who works for this place were kind and helpful.

Lots of cool things to see here! Their displays are quite adorable! Their themed cabins make looking for treasures fun and exciting!
I was impressed by their selection and the variety of antiques they offer.
You’re going to have to look around through their tremendous amount of stuff, but it makes it just more fun!
Also, props to then for their funny signs try have hanging around the place… Very cute!

Jaime P always makes it a point to stop here while we’re up on the mountain. It’s more of a thrift store than an antique place, but they have a lot of old artifacts to look at. The problem is, it’s in a thrift store setting, so you sometimes have to dig to find anything. He’s found some cool antique furniture that just needed a little TLC and for reasonable prices. They have parking lot sales from time to time, too.
Now, from the front, this place doesn’t look like much. But once you step foot on to the property, you realize that there are barns, sheds and miniature houses out in the back lot just FILLED with stuff. Some of it is cool, and in my opinion, some of it is just junk. But you can try to separate the gems from the garbage.
Once you’re done perusing the outdoor area, you can go into the main cabin where the workers are. There are two more floors of stuff in a house like setting. They have everything from housewares to records, old toys and artwork. I don’t see a lot of the same stuff when I come by, so they must move things around or switch it out from time to time.
If you’re looking for something super specific in great condition, this is probably not the place for you. If you’re just looking for something to sit on the shelf or just looking to kill some time, then you’ll be happy you stopped by. Just come with an open mind. Regardless, you can snap some cool photos in the process.
