Bear Cub Cabin | Hot Tub, Wood Burning Stove & Games Near Bear Mountain
Escape to the mountain charm of Bear Cub Cabin, a cozy single-level retreat in Big Bear's sought-after Moonridge area. Designed for easygoing mountain getaways, this inviting 2-bedroom cabin combines a peaceful wooded setting with an incredibly convenient location near Bear Mountain, the Alpine Zoo, hiking trails, golf, restaurants, and everything that makes Big Bear a favorite year-round destination.
After a day on the slopes or exploring the lake, come home to a private hot tub under the stars, fire up the BBQ, gather around the wood-burning stove, or settle in for a movie on the 50" Smart TV. All 3 TVs have Roku. With comfortable sleeping for up to 5 guests, a full kitchen, outdoor spaces, board games and video game Galaga, and a washer/dryer, Bear Cub Cabin has everything you need for a memorable Big Bear escape.
The Space
Step inside and you'll immediately feel the warmth of a classic mountain cabin. Knotty pine walls and ceilings, large windows, comfortable furnishings, and a wood-burning stove creates the cozy alpine atmosphere guests come to Big Bear for.
The open-concept living area flows naturally into the kitchen and dining space, making it easy for everyone to spend time together. Curl up on the sofas after a day outdoors, stream a movie on the Smart TV, or gather around the dining table for a home-cooked meal.
The well-equipped kitchen includes cookware, utensils, and everything you need to prepare breakfast before heading out for the day or a relaxed dinner after your mountain adventures. A breakfast bar provides additional seating, while the in-home stacked washer and dryer are especially convenient for families, longer stays, and guests returning from a snowy day outside.
Outdoor Living
Step outside and enjoy your own peaceful slice of the San Bernardino Mountains.
Start the morning with coffee on the redwood deck while listening to the birds and enjoying the surrounding pine trees. Later, gather around the picnic table, relax in the rocking chairs, and grill dinner on the propane BBQ.
When the day winds down, the private hot tub is the perfect place to soak beneath the mountain sky. Whether you're visiting for a snowy winter weekend, a summer adventure, or a quiet fall escape, the outdoor spaces give you another reason to slow down and enjoy Big Bear.

Why Guests Love the Location
Bear Cub Cabin puts you in the heart of Big Bear's Moonridge area, where you're close to some of the area's most popular year-round activities.
Bear Mountain is nearby for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and golf, while the Big Bear Alpine Zoo is also close by. The Moonridge area itself offers convenient access to restaurants, coffee shops, outdoor recreation, and mountain attractions.
The newly relocated Big Bear Alpine Zoo is a family-friendly attraction featuring alpine wildlife and rehabilitation programs, making it an especially convenient outing for families traveling with children.
Big Bear is truly a four-season destination. Winter brings snow sports and cozy fireside evenings; summer offers hiking, mountain biking, golf, and lake activities; and spring and fall are ideal for enjoying the mountain scenery at a slower pace.

About the neighborhood
Bear Cub Cabin is tucked into Moonridge, one of Big Bear Lake's most popular areas for a mountain getaway. You'll enjoy a peaceful, pine-filled setting while staying close to the activities that bring guests to Big Bear year-round. Moonridge is home to Bear Mountain Resort, Bear Mountain Golf Course, the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, hiking opportunities, and the Moonridge dining and shopping area.
The location is especially appealing for guests who want to spend less time driving and more time enjoying the mountains. Ski and snowboard at Bear Mountain in winter, hit the golf course or hiking trails in warmer months, then return to the cabin for a private hot-tub soak beneath the pines.
For families, the nearby Alpine Zoo is a memorable outing, while couples and groups can enjoy Moonridge restaurants and coffee shops before heading back to the cabin for a cozy evening by the fireplace. Downtown Big Bear Village and the lake are also an easy drive away, giving you convenient access to shopping, dining, lake activities, and nightlife without sacrificing the quieter feel of a mountain neighborhood.

Getting around
A car is recommended for the easiest access to the cabin and to explore Big Bear Lake, especially if you're bringing ski or snow gear. The cabin provides driveway parking for up to 2 vehicles.
Once you're settled in, you can take advantage of Big Bear's Free Trolley, which connects visitors with ski resorts, The Village, restaurants, grocery stores, and other popular destinations. Mountain Transit operates three local trolley routes, making it possible to leave your car parked during busier seasons.
During winter, allow extra travel time and check current road conditions before heading up the mountain. Snow and ice can affect driving conditions, and tire chains or other traction equipment may be required when conditions warrant. Visit Big Bear specifically recommends checking road conditions and chain requirements before traveling and not relying solely on GPS for mountain routes.
