Bear Mountain Chalet. Walk to bear mountain. Games. BBQ.

Welcome to your dream vacation spot, the Bear Mountain Chalet. Nestled in the heart of Big Bear, this is your chance to create and treasure heartwarming memories.

This home enjoys a prime location, with the Bear Mountain Ski Resort just a short 200 yards away. Exciting news for animal lovers; the new zoo is open. Plus, if you feel like an intimate encounter with nature, the National Forest is just a stroll away. For all of the golf enthusiasts, there's a course conveniently located across the street.

The retreat offers you four large bedrooms and 3.5 sophisticated bathrooms, providing ample space for you and your loved ones. The house's open floor plan perfectly melds communal and private spaces, so everyone can find their own comfortable nook.

An abundance of natural light floods the two-story main living area, courtesy of the large wall of windows. These windows not only light up the house but also provide stunning views of the ski resort and Gold Mountain. Step out onto the spacious front patio, and the scenery becomes even more mesmerizing.

Inside, the house continues to amaze with an upper gaming loft that serves as a hub for entertainment. The loft and the downstairs main living area are seamlessly connected, encouraging shared moments and laughter.

Enjoy cozy evenings next to the majestic floor-to-ceiling fireplace. You can watch the snowflakes gently falling outside, creating a picture-perfect winter wonderland. This property is perfect for any season, whether you're seeking a serene retreat or an adventure-filled vacation.

While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Bear Mountain Chalet is enveloped by a range of outdoor activities and major events. Great amenities are nearby, further enriching your stay. Come, experience the magic of mountain living in this remarkable retreat, and find your perfect home away from home.

Please Note: We encourage you to reserve your preferred dates as we tend to stay well booked through the high seasons.

Coyotes are known for their ability to overcome barriers, including high fences. And they're even known for attacking pets that are on a leash. We cannot overstate the need for heightened vigilance concerning your pets' safety.

Great property for a large group
We stayed here with a group of 12 ranging in ages from 50-2 and we were all comfortable. The massage chair was great after a long day of adventures. Great location for access to all that the mountain had to offer.
