David
I have lived in Southern California for the past 20 years and have been coming up to Big Bear to go snowboarding ever since. In 2019 I purchased my ski chalet in lower Moonridge. I visit often to go snowboarding in the winter and hiking/biking in the summer. Photography is one of my passions and the chalet is decorated with many photos that I have taken in Big Bear and the surrounding areas.

-Carbon Monoxide/Smoke detector is located in the hallway.

In heavy snow or inclement weather, it is recommended to take the back way up the mountain. You can take the I-10 East out of Los Angeles and link up with Highway 38 near Redlands, Ca. This will take you up and around the back side of the Mountain. You will enter Big Bear city from the East and drive through Big Bear city heading West into Big Bear Lake and the Moonridge area.

PARKING:
Parking is in the driveway only. There is a limit of two cars which are permitted to park tandem in the driveway. If you violate the city's limit of two cars, you will be subject to a $200 fine which will be deducted from the security deposit. No charging of electric vehicles is allowed on the property. A $50 fine will be withheld from the security deposit for vehicle charging.

Carry tire chains in your vehicle from November - March. It’s the law!

Refundable Damage Deposit
A $500 security deposit (which is the same as the deposit if you were to book through Airbnb or VRBO) will be charged to your Credit Card one day before check-in. I will return the deposit in full (within 10 days) once my housekeeper has completed cleaning the house and has assured me there has been no damage. If any damage has occurred, I will provide photographic proof to the renter of the damage to support any funds withheld from the damage deposit before it returned.
