Lake House in the Summer, Ski Chalet in the Winter, Pet Friendly!

Welcome to Big Bear Chalet Poconos! Relax and enjoy all the Poconos has to offer at this modern and spacious 4-season chalet in Masthope Mountain Community. Situated in the northern most tier of the Pocono Mountains Lake Region this home offers all the amenities you could wish for while allowing you to get away from it all and enjoy the wonders of the outdoors no matter the time of year.

Big Bear Chalet is located just a short 5-minute walk to Masthope Beach at Westcolang Lake where you can enjoy activities for the whole family including a playground, picnic area, concession stand with ice cream, sand volleyball and bocce courts. The community also offers a swimming pool with tiki bar to help you stay cool on a hot day. In the winter the slopes of Ski Big Bear at Masthope are a short drive away ready to challenge those who enjoy skiing, snowboarding or tubing.

The open floor plan includes four large bedrooms and multiple entertainment areas where families can spend time together but also spread out to relax. Each bedroom is complete with comfortable linens, plenty of storage, and a Roku enabled TV. The walkout basement entices competition with a video arcade plus plenty of family games, puzzles and foosball. Let the winners pick the movie in the media room with special lighting effects.

Two thumbs up to Big Bear Chalet
As frequent VRBO users, our group found Russel's home to be one of the best we have ever used. The home itself is beautiful, with lots of space for everyone. I think we used every part of the house with the exception of the upstairs sitting room! The deck has a beautiful view, plenty of chairs are available at the fire pit, the kitchen table was perfect for eating as well as playing games and plenty of room on the living room couch. Our group really enjoyed playing Pac Man in the game area too! The amenities in the home were terrific. It was great to not worry about sheets, towels and those other little things you usually need to pack for a rental...they thought of everything! There were big coffee mugs, great pots/pans and even plastic dishes/lids for leftovers! Our group enjoyed the lake and the pool. We were a little disappointed that the community isn't very pet friendly, but there we felt very comfortable walking our dogs around the development, that they had plenty of exercise. They too enjoyed the deck and plenty of room in the house to spread out. Candace and Russel were great with communication and offered guidance to our questions. I'd highly recommend this home and our group hopes to visit again sometime.
