Large Fenced Yard • Fire Pit • EV • Walk to Zoo/Bear Mountain ~ Antler Inn

Breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the view of Bear Mountain Ski Resort slopes while enjoying your morning coffee outside on the deck among the pines, or inside the cabin curled up next to the baby blue Swedish fireplace! Antler Inn offers a flexible floor plan and is perfectly located in Big Bear Lake's Moonridge neighborhood, and is just a short 5 minute walk to the zoo and shuttle for Bear Mountain Ski Resort, Snow Summit Ski Resort, and the Big Bear Lake Village.

The instant that you make your way up the stairs from the driveway and turn around, you will immediately understand the steepness of the driveway. You'll find yourself transported to a serene mountain cabin. Take a moment or hour to just sit in the chairs on the far side of the deck and enjoy the beautiful view of the ski slopes to your left. Once ready, the rustic wood grain deck invites you to enjoy the cabin inside.

Kitchen: Upon entering the cabin, notice the fully renovated kitchen, complete with quartz countertops, touch activated appliances, and mindful vintage touches throughout. Whether cooking a daily meal or a holiday feast, the kitchen is well appointed with a refrigerator, gas appliances, dishwasher and smaller appliances such as a microwave, toaster, hand mixer, crockpot, and coffee pot. There is even dishware for dining alfresco among the pines under the bistro lights!

The cabin is stocked with the staples: coffee, tea, sugar, sugar alternatives, and cream at the counter coffee station and you'll find spices in the cabinet and condiments in the fridge. Whether for cooking or simply just chatting, a bar height counter with stools is perfectly situated between the kitchen and the living room so you will always be a part of the conversation. An Alexa show device lives above the cabinets for on demand music and can also be used to help with timers while cooking, or any other random information you need a third party to weigh in on.

Living Room: Walking into the living room during daylight, you'll notice how the large windows illuminate the cabin fending off the need for electricity. Under the gorgeous pine ceiling and wood beams lies a large sectional couch with a chaise lounge (opens to a queen sized memory foam sofa sleeper) that is situated perfectly to stare out into the pines or enjoy a fire on a cool evening. After a long day of exploring Big Bear Lake, there is no better feeling than bundled up in a blanket on the couch listening to the crackling fire from the baby blue Swedish fireplace. The first bundle of firewood is included and pairs well with your family's favorite movie on the 42" Smart Roku TV!

Master Bedroom: Follow the hallway behind the fireplace and you'll head toward a bedroom and one of the bathrooms. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed with a cooling gel mattress that is part memory foam, part coil, offering an option that is satisfying for those who appreciate a mattress on the firmer side, yet not so much that it is uncomfortable for those of us that appreciate a pillow top. Nightstands border the bed and dimmable sconce lights are mounted just above the nightstands on each side of the bed to make it easy to catch up on that favorite book just before bedtime. Silver branch curtains provide privacy, yet allow one to wake-up feeling like you backpacked in the mountains with the views of the pines! Prefer to sleep in and avoid the sunrise glow, close the blackout curtains and you'll be wondering what time it is. Across the room, you'll find a built-in armoire (which stores a fan and high chair) and a sink! Who knew how handy a sink in the bedroom could be, but trust me, you'll love it!

Upstairs Bathroom: Just across the hallway, you'll find a full bathroom with a full sized shower/tub combination. The showerhead has been extended to create a comfortable experience no matter how tall you are! There are plenty of hooks to keep everyone's towels separate. Open to the drawers to find the essentials -- a blow dryer and a first aid kit.

Dining Nook/Built-in Bunks - Third "Bedroom" Area: Walk back out to the living room and turn left to find the cozy dining nook. A dining table with a built-in bench and chairs is positioned under the window and seats 7, providing a private viewing of the large pines and mountain canvas beyond the sprawling deck at every meal. There are built-in bunk beds with new mattresses (comfortable for adults and kids alike) along with a closet (pack and play) and drawers. The bunk area was recently renovated with new paint and acoustic tiles now line the bunk bends walls, softening noise so the kids can head to bed a bit earlier. Each bunk has its own light.
**Please note that we note that the bunk area/dining nook is semi-private, though it only walled on three sides and does not have a door, as it is open to the living room.

Backyard: The sliding glass door in the dining nook acts as a large looking glass to the rather large fully fenced-in yard where you will notice that there aren't any neighbors directly behind us, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the mountain life and truly relax! The sprawling three-tier deck is perfect for morning yoga, grilling out among the pines, or just relaxing after a long day around the large table! The deck boasts an outdoor dining table that seats 7, a Weber grill, and a built-in bench, which is perfectly situated to chat with the grill master. When warm enough, we encourage you to opt for dinner alfresco under the blanket of stars and the beautiful bistro lights. Sun sails have been added to keep the sun a bay for an enjoyable experience anytime of the day, and year!

Downstairs Bedroom/Game Room: Head back inside and down the recently updated spiral staircase (we re-built this by hand - think of layers of long puzzle pieces) to the second bedroom or what I like to think of as the land of opportunity! You may have noticed the second front door as you walked up the stairs. When snowing, I encourage you to enter through this door to avoid using those slippery steps. You'll notice you are able to prop open the door in the summer months for a beautiful breeze (enjoying the retractable screen door) or in the winter make use of the built-in coat hanging rack and bench to get those boots off. Boot trays are offered at the main entrances for you! Please note that this spiral staircase is fairly traditional in that the steps are smaller and it is not for ideal for those that may be unsteady. The downstairs ceiling does come up quick, so it's important to be mindful.

You'll find a queen-size daybed with a twin trundle, perfect for a couple or a small family. Both mattresses are memory foam. We choose this for the versatility - enjoy the second TV/game room vibe or sleep in the cool, dark room. It may just be the best sleep of your life! There is a 9ft shuffleboard table and a round game table with a cabinet full of board games (Monopoly, Jenga, Cranium, and more!). An Alexa show hangs on the wall to provide music on demand, and if you need to do some laundry after a long day on the slopes, the machines are here. Finally, an electric fireplace with a remote is always available to keep you cozy.

Downstairs Bathroom: One might consider the second bathroom to be en-suite, and it is located at the far end of the room and offers a large shower. We are still decorating and plan to add shelves and a closet, but it has the basics!

Front Patio: Just outside the downstairs bedroom sits a set of Adirondack chairs, perfect for enjoying the serene surrounds. An EV charger lives to the left, near the driveway.

Nestled in Big Bear Lake's Moonridge neighborhood among the breathtaking pine trees, the location seems to have it all. Antler Inn is walking distance to the zoo, Moonridge Corridor (Dank Donuts and Moonridge Coffee), and the free shuttle for Bear Mountain Ski Resort/Snow Summit Ski Resort/Big Bear Lake Village. Alternatively, you can walk to Bear Mountain Ski Resort and Bear Mountain golf course in 15 minutes. Antler Inn is a 6 minute drive to the lake (swimming, water skiing) and 8 minutes to the Village, making it the perfect location. In fact, Moonridge is one of the few areas in Big Bear Lake where the topography can turn a casual walk into a highlight of the trip, complete with breathtaking views of the lake.

Depending on your destination, you have a few options.

A car will always be your quickest and easiest bet, but I definitely understand wanting to park and leave the car. Please note that the driveway is a bit steep. It can be a bit unsettling when you first see it, but take it slow and keep a foot between you and the retaining wall. Enter at a slight angle in line with the retaining wall. We suggest high clearance vehicles, but have seen low clearance make it up fine though on the way down they can scrape a bumper.

The bus system is not super robust, but does run around the city and Antler Inn is 5-minute walk away from stop 215 (Moonridge & Sheephorn). Check out Routes 1 and 3. I provide more information in the cabin.

We love to walk the neighborhood and it is pretty easy to go to the zoo and really any of the shops on Moonridge Road. You can easily ride or rent bikes and can rent a scooter for a very reasonable amount when you check-in. We will provide all details.

"We’ve stayed in a lot of Big Bear cabins over the years and this one really stands out. Tasha’s taste is impeccable. Not a wooden bear statue in sight! We stayed over Thanksgiving and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our feast. And she also had so many cute touches for entertaining - linen napkins, woven placemats, water carafes. Also, the cabin had a Christmas tree up with Christmas lights outside. So adorable! We stayed with our dog and the backyard is AMAZING. Lots of room to run and play and completely fenced in. A true gem of a location!!"
