Photos and Description of the Moonridge vacation lodge rental
3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath, Sleeps 8-9 Treetop Luxury Lodge

Birch Bear Lodge is ready for you! With incredible 180 views of both ski resorts, the Lake and the golf course, you will have a fantastic time at Birch Bear. Two large private decks on both sides of the Lodge: one with a Jacuzzi with color changing lights is nestled in the pines, and a second one with unobstructed 180 views, for eating, relaxing, having drinks and watching the incredible sunsets (seasonal gas grill provided). Birch Bear is a perfect base for both the year round activity athletes, and for those who want spacious relaxation quarters to 'stay inside', read, gaze out at the mountain views or write your first novel! For romantics or those on 'working vacations', Birch Bear is your private treetop hideaway.

The Lodge is a 2280 sq. ft. home, with wireless Wi-Fi, 3 bath, 2 full baths, and a Studio/Game room (and 1/2 bath). With a huge rock fireplace for a cozy wood burning fire, new luxury furnishings, cozy bedding, granite kitchen, flat screen 'smart' TV (netflix, Facebook), and TVs in all bedrooms, Birch Bear is more than just a rental cabin - its a home. Gather round the large wooden dining table - there's room for our permanent guests - mascots 'Birch' & 'Bear', giant furry stuffed bears. The Game Room (studio attached to the jacuzzi deck), has a Pool table and Ping Pong, as well as puzzles and games. Plenty of space with room to play or just escape in luxury.

Two car garage plus parking area & 'mud room' for equipment.

Birch Bear is close to Bear Mountain slopes (5 min.), Snow Summit (10 min), snowplay, hiking and biking trails, the Lake (7 min), restaurants, grocery (Von, Stater Bros), and pharmacies (Walgreens, CVS). The Village, with movies and restaurants is 10 min. away.

EARLY CHECK-IN AND LATE CHECK-OUT: We know that you're anxious to get here, and may want to ski/hike on the day you need to check out! Please contact us early with your request and we will try our best to accommodate you. We want to ensure that the Lodge, spa and Game Room are spotless and ready for you, and there is time to do the same for the next guests. There is no extra cost to you - we'll do our best.

About Jacline Evered, La Terre Properties

In early 2012, we stood on the deck of what would become Birch Bear and looked at the 180 degree unobstructed view of the slopes, the Lake, golf course and the whole valley in front of us. It was breathtaking and the most magnificent view in Big Bear. The extensive renovation took 6 months and we look forward to welcoming you to Birch Bear!

Jacline Evered, La Terre Properties purchased this lodge in 2012
Why Jacline Evered, La Terre Properties chose Moonridge

Each year we came to Big Bear to enjoy the mountain air, hike the trails, and enjoy the environment. We found a home that needed a lot of TLC, but the view was worth saving. A lot of hard work followed, a lot of fun and a lot of pride in this fantastic Lodge. Some say Birch Bear has the 'best view in Big Bear' for its 180 degree views of the ski resorts, golf course and the Lake.....from top to bottom, including the new Spa with color changing LED lights and waterfall,its ready for visitors!

What makes this lodge unique

View, view, privacy and views! From pre-dawn sunrise of pink sky, mist covering the Lake like a cotton blanket, clearing to sunny blues skies over glistening snow on Bear Mountain. Slopes with skiers so close you feel you can count them, to the soft white lights winding down the night ski slopes on Snow Summit, to the quiet pines... There is no place like Birch Bear.

Awesome accommodations for two families!

We had a great two night stay at at Birch Bear with our only complaint being that our time there went by too fast! The owners have put a lot of time and thought into stocking the house and making it feel homey. There wasn't a single thing that wasn't covered. We had plenty of room for two families to spread out when needed but the favorite gathering places were the game room, large comfy sectional couch and the kitchen table for a lively game of Hearts! The view was incredible during the day, and we also enjoyed seeing the night skiing at Snow Summit. We all agreed it would be fun to return in the summer as well, fingers crossed we will!

Great week-end with friends in Big Bear

I just got back from an amazing trip at the Birch Bear Lodge. This lodge was really amazing and very comfortable. It had a way enough space for the 6 of us.
The game room is a lot of fun. Playing pool or table tennis was a great entertainment. Watching the sunset in the nice spa was a must.
This lodge has all the comfort you need as towels, soaps, sheets, kitchen fully equipped.
I am really looking forward to come back in the future and hopefully for longer.
Owner's Response: We're glad you had a wonderful stay at Birch Bear. Its a special place that makes you feel on top of the mountain, and we hope that you have great memories of being at the Lodge, as well as skiing or hiking. We look forward to seeing all of you next year at the Lodge and thank you for giving the Lodge a "5 Star" rating!

Gorgeous, Cosy, and Brand New!

I went for a ski retreat with my kids and their friends. The location couldn't be more perfect given it is situated right next to Bear and Summit. The unexpected bonus to this is a beautiful view of the resort lights at night..gorgeous! Very comfortable, warm, and cosy place...perfect mountain retreat feel. But the best part is without the stuffy/old feel that so many cabins have. This place is brand new! And everything, from the driveway to bathrooms and kitchen were fresh and as updated as a new home. The jacuzzi and game room were the gathering places at night and made being home as fun as the skiing itself.

We had a fantastic time and will surely come back next year.

Owner's Response: You and your family were the very first guests at the Lodge and we are delighted that you had a wonderful experience. We want to make it a great memory, and a tradition that Big Bear means its time for Birch Bear again! See you next year!
