This property has the best location to the slopes and downtown! We had so much room for our friends and family, the pool table room and jacuzzi were huge hits! The views are incredible, and the neighborhood is so quiet and easily accessible! The home even had a variety of games for all ages! We would definitely recommend booking a stay!!

We had a great time in this cabin. The views of Bear Mountain from the back deck were so nice. The owners were easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.

If you want a place to stay with amazing views of Bear Mountain...has ample space to stretch out and enjoy the company of your friends and family look no further than this property.
The owners make everything super easy to check in/out. All of the beds are SUPER comfortable...kitchen has great amenities to feed your small army. Great basement area for the adults to escape to and jump in the hot tub or lounge with some drinks.
Will definitely look to stay here again in the future!

Nice and spacious home in a very quiet neighborhood. The weekend we visited, we were gifted so much snow, it was unbelievable. The home is big and perfect for a family that wants to get away. The home is a bit outdated but overall everything was in good working condition.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this chalet and I recommend it highly. It is comfortable and stylish and the layout works really well. The views from the deck and family room are stunning and the rec room with pool table and bar is roomy and fun. We have stayed in multiple rentals in Big Bear over the past few years and this is definately one of the best from our experience.

Wonderful Home!
We loved staying on this beautiful property! The views were stunning! The home is tastefully decorated and we loved the bunk bed room for all our kids to be able to have a sleep over together. The basement makes a great place to stay up for the adults when the kids go to sleep in the loft. Lots of TVs and fireplaces and wonderful location close to town but in what feels like a wonderful wilderness retreat away from the city action. Ben and Peggy were very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions. We loved the hot tub and being able to stay here with family and friends. Thank you so much for the wonderful trip!

The view was worth the entire weekend. Entirely west facing with clear sight of two ski runs, we spent the weekend in tshirts on the patio despite it being in the upper 30s - the sunshine made everything great. Kids loves the bunk room, fireplace was roaring, and the hosts gift baskets of popcorn and goodies made movie nights special.

It is a wonderful place to stay. It was so clean and comfortable. The view was amazing. We enjoyed using jaccuzi in winter. Since many of cabins do not allow having birthday parties in Big bear, we have especial thanks to say to the owner to allow that to us. You do not regret rent this cabin!

Seriously Swanky Chalet
This chalet is lovely. The view is amazing, and the amenities were perfect. Check in was easy and they had a welcome snack basket. The bedding was fantastic in all rooms even the bunks. The location was great... a short drive to Summit. We had a hic cup using the hot tub, and the owners immediately sent someone to help! The owners were great, very responsive. We definitely would love to go back the Swanky Squirrel Chalet.

Charming Cabin full of Family Fun
Every year my family and I visit big bear for a fun snowy getaway. We’ve stayed at quite a few rental cabins but this one is definitely our favorite! It had everything we needed and more. My kids and my sister’s kids were obsessed with the room full of bunk beds, bean bags and a gaming console. They didn’t want to come down lol My absolutely favorite part of the house was the nice, big dinning table by the kitchen. It comfortably fits 10-12 people. We had all of our meals there and spent a lovely night playing board games together. Oh and I can’t forget to mention the hot tub with an incredible view!! It just can’t be beat. Peggy and Ben were incredibly responsive and attentive during our whole trip. You can really tell they put a lot of love and care into this place to truly make it home.

We had an amazing time at this cabin. We are already planning and cant wait to book another trip here. Parking was great and easy. We've been to other places where there were a million stairs to get to the house. Easy access from the car to the house. The basement downstairs is amazing with it's own bathroom, pool table, fireplace and a comfy pull out couch. Not one of those cheap springy mattresses but a nice temperpedic one. The main floor was really nice with another fire place and balcony. The heater works great so we were never cold. Even the hot water was really hot. The kitchen was big enough for us to cook christmas dinner for everyone, with plenty of space to eat on the dinner table.
One of the best things I have to say is how comfortable the bed mattresses were. Everyone raved about how well they slept and how comfortable they were, especially compared to other cabins we've visited. I have to also compliment the blankets that they use. SO comfortable. loved it.
The loft upstairs was really cool and the kids LOVED sleeping in the custom bunk beds. (those mattresses were comfortable too) There were 2 more rooms upstairs with queen beds and a bathroom upstairs also. Every floor had a bathroom.
Overall we all very much enjoyed the cabin. Hopefully next time we can use the hot tub. (we just didn't have enough time to, although it looked really nice)
The owners were super quick and responsive to any issues we had. They were super nice and kind. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again! Can't wait to book another trip!

My family was fortunate enough to discover and book Peggy and Ben's splendid Moonridge chalet and had a wonderful stay there over the Thanksgiving holiday. We are from San Diego and over the years have rented 10 or more properties in Big Bear and by far and away Peggy and Ben were the most responsive and thoughtful hosts we have ever had.
Here are the things that made our stay special:
Location: The home is at the top of the Moonridge neighborhood and you have a direct view of the slopes including a lighted slope, which is lovely at night.
High Quality Things: The home has been updated with modern appliances (including the coolest microwave I have ever used) and overall sleek but cozy decor. The living room has a giant smart TV next to the fireplace and the house has a total of 7 TVs. I generally prefer wood burning fireplaces but the gas fireplaces in this home burned big and bright and provided plenty of heat. The beds all had clean, comfortable mattresses. We had a total of seven people (4 adults and 3 children ages 3, 6 and 10) and there was plenty room. By the way the dining table is much bigger in person than in the pictures which was nice to discover!
Fast/Reliable Internet: Having reliabe internet is critical for me and my family. The internet was easy to connect to, was fast and never dropped while there. We have stayed at other Big Bear homes that did not have reliable internet so prior to our stay, I emailed Peggy about it and she kindly and promptly provided me details about their internet service. The home also has cable tv that I used to watch a few football and basketball games.
Entertainment Room/Hot Tub: I can't say enough about how awesome the downstairs gameroom area is. It is a giant room with a fireplace, bar area and mini-fridge, two flat screenTVs and a beautiful centerpiece pool table. Outside the gameroom is a modern and clean hot tub from which you can star gaze. Note that it does take about 4 hours to heat it up from 80 degrees to103.
Attention to Details: There were many little things that Peggy and Ben did that also made it a great stay (e.g. generous welcome baslet of snacks and drinks; high quality shampoo, conditioner and lotion; making sure we had a turkey baster and everything we needed for Thanksgiving).
We greatly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to others. Peggy and Ben are excellents hosts who care about making sure you have an excellent experience.
