Branchwater Lodge | Six-Bedroom Moonridge Lodge with Hot Tub & Game Loft, Near Bear Mountain

Escape to Branchwater Lodge, an elegant six-bedroom mountain chalet set on an acre of forest in Moonridge, backing up to the small Bow Canyon Creek. With 2,555 square feet of living space, four and a half bathrooms, and room for up to 13 guests, this lodge is made for big families and groups. Bear Mountain is close by, and Big Bear Lake, The Village, and the area's trails and restaurants are just a short drive away.

Start each morning on the new custom wraparound deck with coffee and alpine views, then return in the evening to fire up the smoker or gas grill for a group dinner outdoors. As the night cools, slip into the private covered hot tub and take in the forest scenery. Inside, soaring wood ceilings frame the open living room, where a rock fireplace (wood-burning with a gas starter) sits center stage beside plush seating and a 55-inch TV. Upstairs, the loft is the place for friendly competition, with a pool table and another 55-inch TV. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, black appliances, a gas range, and double ovens, plus two wine fridges, one in the kitchen and one in the bar area. The expandable dining table seats 10. On the entry level, two king bedrooms and a queen bedroom share access to the deck and two bathrooms, including a private full bath in Bedroom 2 and a half bath off the hallway. Upstairs, you'll find a room with two full beds, a king bedroom with balcony access, and a family suite with a king bed, a full-over-twin bunk, a balcony, and a private bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub. Complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer and dryer make group stays easy.

Branchwater Lodge's Moonridge location puts Big Bear's year-round adventures within easy reach. In winter, ski and snowboard at nearby Bear Mountain, then come home to the fireplace and hot tub. In summer, explore the Moonridge trails, visit the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, play a round at Bear Mountain Golf Course, or head down to the lake for boating and fishing. The large circular driveway makes arriving with a group easy, and dogs are welcome in the fenced yard.
