Fawnskin Chalet | Hot Tub, Game Room & Dual-Unit Retreat

Bring the whole crew to Fawnskin Chalet, a spacious dual-unit mountain retreat designed for families, friends, and multi-family getaways in Big Bear's peaceful North Shore community. With two separate wings, two kitchens, multiple living and dining areas, a private hot tub, game room, fenced backyard, and dedicated dog run, this unique property gives groups the rare combination of space to gather and privacy when they want it. Set among towering pines with treetop views overlooking the Big Bear eagle habitat associated with Jackie and Shadow, the chalet offers a peaceful setting close to some of Fawnskin's best outdoor recreation. Big Bear Lake is less than a mile away, Fawnskin Marina and historic downtown Fawnskin are within walking distance, and hiking trails and OHV routes are nearby.

The chalet's standout feature is its flexible duplex-style design. Two separate entrances lead to east and west wings, each featuring its own full kitchen, dining area, living space, and bathroom facilities. A central family room connects the spaces, allowing larger groups to spend time together while still having separate areas to spread out. Both kitchens feature oak cabinetry, full appliances, and dishwashers, making meal preparation especially convenient for extended families or groups. Multiple living spaces offer flat-screen TVs, decorative fireplaces, large windows, and access to outdoor decks overlooking the surrounding forest and treetops.

Sleeping arrangements are spread between both wings, with four bedrooms plus two loft-style sleeping areas. The East Wing includes a loft with a twin-over-full bunk, a queen bedroom with Jack-and-Jill bathroom access, and an additional bedroom with a twin-over-full bunk. The West Wing features a loft with a twin-over-twin bunk, a queen bedroom with Jack-and-Jill bathroom access, and another bunk room with twin-over-twin accommodations. Four full bathrooms—including two downstairs hallway bathrooms and two upstairs Jack-and-Jill bathrooms—help larger groups get ready comfortably.

When it's time for some friendly competition, head to the converted-garage game room featuring a pool table, dartboard, beer pong table, and streaming TV. It's an ideal hangout after a day on the lake, trails, or exploring Big Bear. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room to enjoy the peaceful mountain setting. Relax in the private spa beneath the trees, gather around the patio seating, prepare dinner on the propane BBQ, or let your four-legged companions enjoy the dedicated dog run. With multiple outdoor access points and spacious surroundings, the property is especially convenient for guests traveling with pets.

Nice location with ample space

The space itself is located a bit inwards and seems rather secluded from other houses, or at least from my take surrounded by houses that appear empty (giving off that secluded feeling). However, it was a good thing because it gave a private kind of feel to the establishment. The house itself was large and had ample space for people to enjoy in the main living room or in their respective rooms. Sounds are localized to their particular rooms so no matter how loud it got in the living room, those upstairs could have a quiet rest. Initially the place was hotter than we would have liked. We found that in one location the air did not circulate very well thus it was pretty warm compared to the lower parts of the house. If they could fix that circulation, then this place would be perfect. Amenities are great and hot tub as an excellent touch!
