Moonridge Chalet - amazing A frame home for a couples retreat

Welcome to the Moonridge Chalet! Located in Upper Moonridge, one of Big Bear's most desirable destinations, this cozy, mid-century inspired cabin is perfect for a romantic getaway or an intimate family gathering. This classic A-frame architecture comes with modern interiors and thoughtful upgrades, yet still keeps its cool 70s cabin vibes. Surrounded by trees, this is an ideal escape to the mountains.

The interior of the cabin is very cozy with a wood-burning fireplace, 3 comfortable bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plus a loft for lounging and playing games.
The updated kitchen opens to the dining room and living room, which opens to an expansive 700 sq ft deck equipped with a 6-person hot tub, seating area with firepit, bbq grill, and outdoor dining for up to 8. Enjoy your evenings grilling, hot tubbing and stargazing!

Thoughtful details for your stay include a fully equipped kitchen with spices, oils, condiments, cooking utensils and a range of small appliances. The lounge is equipped with a small, curated library, puzzles and a puzzle board (so you can finish that 1,000 piece puzzle), board games, and vintage arcade games. Plenty of hooks for hanging all the things, and usb ports throughout.

For those with little ones, a portable crib, highchair, potty, hiking backpack, and children's plates, bowls, utensils, toys and board books are available. Step stools on each floor are also provided.
Important: While the cabin sleeps up to 8, it is most suitable and comfortable for up to 6 guests. And while the cabin is family friendly, please note there is no “great room” or large open space in the interior for little ones to run around. Please see photos of living room, loft, and floor plan.

Smart Home Features
Equipped with a Smart TV in the living room and FireStick remotes in 2 of the bedrooms, log into any of your streaming apps with ease.
Ask Alexa to play your favorite music on the cabin's Spotify account or use Alexa as a bluetooth speaker.
Ask Alexa to turn on/off the cafe lights in the deck and holiday lights (seasonal).
The cabin also includes a smart thermostat, leak detectors, and carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.

*DISCLOSURE: For security purposes, we have security cameras viewing the exterior surroundings of the property. There are no cameras viewing the interior, and no cameras on the hot tub. If you have any concerns about privacy, please contact us before booking.
