Photo gallery for The Stargazer Chalet-VIEWS From the very Top of Moonridge

Welcome to the Chalet. Have a look around to see how your story might unfold.
We'll begin with our little retreat in the woods waking up, a perfect morning…
…sipping coffee as the sun crests over the majesty of Bear Mountain.
It's an even better view in the snow...if you can brave the cold...
...but the warmth and leisure of summer cannot be overstated.

About this property

The Stargazer Chalet-VIEWS From the very Top of Moonridge

This cabin was designed for the Big Bear experience! For us, that was the whole point. The first time we came to this town we instantly fell in love, but the hotels left a little to be desired. We wanted a private space with some of that classic cabin feel, but also just enough upscale accommodation to make it feel cozy and modern. We wanted a private hot tub. We wanted a wood fireplace. We wanted VIEWS! So we purchased this cabin for it's AMAZING location on the very top of the ridge, and then remodeled it to have an updated contemporary look with just enough rustic nostalgia to match the beauty of the mountains.

This location is PERFECT for families and small gatherings, and can accommodate all types of occasions. Outside we have created a wrap-around deck that gives you a full-day lounging experience. Enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee from the front deck as it illuminates the majesty of Bear Mountain, or have a game of Cornhole while listening to our collection of classic vinyl tracks on the record player. In the back you can enjoy a day of grilling and cold beverages followed by a dip in the oversized hot tub under the starry night sky. The kids will enjoy the loft upstairs with foosball, games, plush oversized bean bags, etc., (and it's perfect for family movie nights). And best of all, if you are headed to Bear Mountain or the zoo it's only a short walk down the ridge! No need for parking or massive lines waiting for the bus.

We are confident that you will find everything that you need here to make this trip to Big Bear the memory of a lifetime. Additionally, this home is independently owned and operated so we will be responsive and attentive to your needs. We strive for 5-star experiences so if there is anything we can do to enhance your trip let us know.

*Walking distance to Bear Mountain
*Walking distance to the Zoo
*Short drive to the Village or the lake
*Unimpeded views of Bear Mountain from the front deck, and the neighboring North ridge from the back deck
*Private heated spa - heating included with your stay

*Free WiFi
*App enabled TV's upstairs and down for streaming your favorite shows
*Wood burning fireplace for that classic cabin feel

My family and I loved our vacation. the host responded quickly to any questions I had. The cabin was very clean with a roomy, updated kitchen, comfortable beds and all the amenities you’ll need for your stay. Front deck over looks the ski resort. The rear deck overlooks trees and mountains. Rear deck has a full size bbq grill and hot tub. Great location! Minutes walk/drive to ski, a golf range, big bear lake, hiking trails and the villages where there are lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. Also rented ATVs and fishing equipment from nearby establishments.Definitely will be back.

This cabin is perfect for a family of 4-5. The updates throughout are thoughtful and comfy. If you’re a skier - I’m not LOL - you will appreciate the views of the slopes and the walking distance. And it was just a short drive to the Big Bear Blvd. when needing to pick up some last minute groceries, etc. Chris and Melanie were wonderful hosts and quick to respond to any questions I had.

This was our second visit to the Stargazer Chalet and especially magical over Christmas!!! We love everything about this cabin from the modern yet cozy design, the upstairs kids loft, the old school record player, and of course, the convenient location. It certainly feels like a home away from home. We hope to return again in the near future!

This was a lovely place to stay for our family vacation. The chalet is in a beautiful location with great views all around and a living room view of the Bear Mountain resort. Big Bear Lake is close by with numerous options for dining and shopping. The upstairs loft is perfect for kids to play and relax. The old school video games were a huge hit with the kids (and Dad). Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Melanie

Host profile image
The first time we visited Big Bear Lake was during the height of the pandemic. Just like all the city folk with nothing to do we ventured to the mountain with our two young children in hopes of finding adventure, quiet reprieve, and to maybe catch a fish or two. To our surprise, and after a couple bottles of wine, we realized that feeling inside was not just the Pinot Noir, but a true connection to the scenic mountains, the tranquility of the lake, and the quaint little town full of shopping and eateries. In a time of turmoil we found a true sense of belonging. We were home.

Why they chose this property

We had a vision of what staying in Big Bear should look like. The motels are okay but not exactly what we were looking for, or private. Most of the cabins were either too massive or too...quilty?? We needed something cozy, something calm...yet majestic. We found it.

And then we spent the next two years transforming it in to the vision we had in our minds. Everything you will see here has been custom re-modeled to accommodate the perfect Big Bear vacation for families or small groups of friends.

What makes this property unique

It's the VIEWS! You can't beat the top of the ridge. We have Bear Mountain in front of us and the North Ridge in back, which looks AMAZING at night. Short of a house right on the lake we think we're in the best location in Big Bear.
