Balboa Big Bear sits in Moonridge, a pine-shaded pocket on the quieter east side of town where the road tilts up toward the ski hills and the tree line does most of the talking. The house makes an impression before you're through the door: vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, skylights pulling in mountain light, and a stone fireplace anchoring a living room built around comfort rather than formality. It's roomy without feeling cavernous, and the flow between kitchen, dining, and living space means the cook is never cut off from the conversation.

The kitchen is fully equipped with room to spread out, and the dining table seats eight under a statement light fixture, with counter seating for anyone drifting through. A record player gives the evenings a soundtrack, and the laundry room means a week here doesn't require a week's worth of packing. Sleeping is split across two levels: a queen bedroom downstairs just off the living room, and upstairs a primary king suite with its own deck access. The upstairs common area adds two full bunks, a queen pullout, and a full futon, which makes this an easy fit for multi-family trips and kid-heavy weekends. There are two full bathrooms, plus a pack-n-play and high chair on site for the youngest travelers.

The upstairs game room is the one everyone underestimates. A shuffleboard table takes center stage, backed by a board game collection deep enough to settle rivalries for several nights running --- Twister, Clue, Risk, Battleship, Taboo, Trivial Pursuit, Jumanji, and more stacked and waiting.

Outside, the property opens up across multiple decks and balconies. The L-shaped front deck holds a propane fire pit, a covered propane grill, and outdoor dining under the pines, while a second fire pit sits on the upper deck off the primary bedroom for a quieter version of the same view. The hot tub is the reliable end to a cold day, and the lot has enough room to keep everyone occupied: a putting green, a paved play area with a basketball hoop, badminton, and space to unload whatever gear the season calls for. Mountain views come standard, and there's an EV charger on site for the drive up from the coast.

Moonridge puts you within a few minutes of Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, so first chair doesn't require a pre-dawn alarm, and the same lifts run through summer for downhill biking and sightseeing. The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is less than a mile away and worth an easy morning, and Bear Mountain Golf Course and the Bristlecone trailhead are both close by. The lake sits a few minutes north with boat launches, marinas, and fishing, plus the paved Alpine Pedal Path along the shoreline for a flat walk or ride. The Village, with its shops, coffee, and dining, is a
short drive west when you want a change of scenery.
