Updated Cabin w/ Fenced Yard | Walk to Ski Resort Shuttle & Zoo
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Antler Inn is a fully renovated two-story mountain cabin tucked into Big Bear Lake's pine-covered Moonridge neighborhood, offering a fenced backyard, three-tier deck, and quartz-countertop kitchen with touch-activated appliances. Inside, guests find a queen master bedroom, a semi-private dining-nook bunk area with built-in beds, and a downstairs game room/second bedroom with a daybed, trundle, shuffleboard table, and second TV. A baby-blue Swedish wood fireplace warms the main living area while an electric fireplace keeps the lower level cozy, and large windows and pine-beam ceilings frame views of the Bear Mountain ski slopes. The outdoor space includes a Weber grill, bistro lights, an EV charger, and Adirondack chairs on the front patio, making it well suited to both morning coffee and evening dining alfresco. It sits just a five-minute walk from the Moonridge Zoo and the free shuttle to Bear Mountain and Snow Summit ski resorts, and within 15 minutes on foot of the ski slopes and golf course themselves. A short drive brings guests to Big Bear Lake Village and the lake itself, along with a range of nearby restaurants spanning American, Mexican, and family-style dining.
Best for
This cabin suits families and groups traveling with pets, thanks to its fully fenced yard, crib, high chair, kid-friendly bunk nook, and pet-friendly policy. It also works well for multi-generational or larger parties needing separate sleeping zones, since the layout spreads a master bedroom, built-in bunks, and a downstairs daybed/game room across two levels with two full bathrooms.
Travel tips
A car is the most practical way to get around, but note the driveway is steep and best approached at a slight angle in line with the retaining wall; high-clearance vehicles are recommended. The Moonridge & Sheephorn bus stop is about a 5-minute walk away for those using Big Bear's local Route 1 or 3 service, and the free ski resort shuttle plus the zoo are also within a short walk. Snow days call for using the lower-level entrance rather than the outdoor stairs, and boot trays are provided at both entrances.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the tasteful, non-generic decor, spotless presentation, and thoughtful extras like linens, board games, and holiday touches, alongside a well-stocked kitchen suitable for full family meals. The fully fenced yard draws repeated mention from travelers with dogs, while families highlight comfortable beds, strong Wi-Fi, and a layout that gives teens or multiple groups their own space. The host, Tasha, is repeatedly described as responsive, friendly, and transparent about any minor pre-existing issues, which guests say did not affect their stays.
