Green Squirrel Chateau | Family & Pet Friendly | Walk to Lake, Marina & Ski Shuttle
Welcome to Green Squirrel Chateau, a fun, cozy, and spacious family-friendly mountain home in the heart of Big Bear Lake. Surrounded by tall pines where squirrels love to play—earning the home its charming name—this two-story cabin delivers comfort, convenience, and room to make memories year-round.
Perfect for families, friends, and pets, this inviting retreat offers generous living space with warm mountain décor, fireplaces, and flat-screen streaming TVs for relaxed nights in. The garage game room is a crowd favorite, featuring a pool table and console hookups for hours of entertainment for kids, teens, and adults alike.
The upgraded electric kitchen is fully equipped for safe, easy cooking, making family meals and holiday feasts effortless. Designed with little ones in mind, the home includes a pack-and-play, high chair, toys, and books, allowing parents to truly relax. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard, ideal for kids and pets to roam freely. This home is exceptionally pet friendly, complete with dog food and water bowls, a dog bed, and a secure yard. Fire up the propane BBQ, relax on the sun deck, or enjoy coffee and stargazing from the patio or balconies.
Location is a major highlight. Enjoy a short walk to the lake, five-minute walk to the marina, nearby hiking trails, and the ski shuttle for easy winter access. In summer, stroll to the Friday night Farmers Market, shops, and local activities—no driving required. Close to Big Bear Village, ski resorts, and grocery stores, Green Squirrel Chateau offers the perfect balance of privacy, accessibility, and mountain charm.
Green Squirrel Chateau is more than a cabin—it's a playful, pet-friendly, family-ready mountain escape designed for unforgettable Big Bear memories.
