Description
Moonridge cabins this close to the resort are rare and this one comes with a major advantage: it’s already operating as a permitted short-term rental. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Moonridge neighborhood, this cozy vintage mountain cabin sits under 5 minutes to Big Bear Resort, with immediate access to the Moonridge shuttle/parking area, making it an ideal home base for ski days, lake weekends, and year-round mountain living. Inside, the cabin delivers the comfort and charm buyers want in Big Bear and the kind of layout that actually works for groups. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with a welcoming living area anchored by a wood-burning stove that sets the tone for winter nights. Upstairs, you’ll find a game room and an additional bedroom, giving you flexible bonus space for guests, kids, or extra hangout room when entertaining. Outside, the experience continues with a fully fenced backyard designed for pets, relaxing and hosting, featuring a newer hot tub and space to unwind after a day on the mountain. And unlike many cabin setups, parking is easy here with private dual driveways and room for multiple vehicles. One of the standout benefits of this property is that it is currently operating as a successful short-term rental with an active permit and tremendous winter occupancy, a rare combination of lifestyle and performance in one of Big Bear’s most desirable neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking for a personal getaway, a full-time mountain home, or a property that offers the option of short-term rental income, this Moonridge cabin checks all the boxes
