About This Home
As of November 2025SPECTACULAR SKI SLOPE VIEWS & PROVEN INCOME PRODUCER! This romantic ''tiny'' cabin in Moonridge combines cozy mountain charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, making it one of the most unique offerings on the market. With over $60,000 in gross Airbnb income in 2024, this property is not only an inviting getaway but also a turn-key investment opportunity. Step inside and you'll find a warm mountain vibe with wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and a rock fireplace perfect for snowy nights. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and butcher block counters, blending rustic touches with modern convenience. The bathroom has been tastefully remodeled, and upgrades like a tankless water heater, new heating system, and dual-pane windows ensure year-round comfort. There is also a full size washer and dryer and plenty of storage space in the large build-up area below. Natural light fills the space, highlighting the treetop setting and breathtaking views of Bear Mountain's ski slopes. Despite its small footprint, this cabin feels open and inviting, designed for efficient use of space without sacrificing style. The exterior is just as charming, with a deck that's ideal for morning coffee, apres-ski relaxation in the spa, or stargazing in the crisp mountain air. Tucked away on a desirable Moonridge street, you're only minutes from Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, the golf course, zoo, lake, and Village. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat, a successful vacation rental, or both, this cabin delivers it all. Move-in or rent-ready from day one--an absolute gem in Big Bear's premier resort neighborhood!
