Perfect place to unwind! We just cooked at the cabin and were so happy to be there. Great ambiance and atmosphere!!! Highly recommend:) ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Janine Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Great clean cabin with 3 separate bedrooms. One full bath and a half bath upstairs. Communication with the property management was excellent! They answered all our needs and questions. Had a wonderful stay at this cabin rental! ##### Janine Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### veronica Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The cabin was great! Our family enjoyed it very much. It was clean, and supplied with everything we needed. Its in a great location, minutes from the zoo, stores and the summit. We loved it and will probably stay again! ##### veronica Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hugo Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It has a nice cozy and warmth feeling. Needs some washer and dryer ##### Hugo Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This place was great for our 4 day cabin trip. Especially since it was my first time in Big Bear. I loved the wood floors and all features of the home. The binoculars and telescope provided were great to access although we didn’t have time to use them. Pros: nice home and model, nice details of the home we loved that featured the cabin model. Normal kitchen necessities were supplied. This was a plus since we planned on cooking a lot. Avant Stay also offered services to enhance your stay like a in-house massage or chef, provide groceries, or request a ride. I believe I would have used this featured had it snowed at the time I stayed. So super plus for their property. Cons: certain parts of the house don’t have heating vents. So the heat couldn’t properly flow heat into some of the rooms. Also, I did not like seeing dust flow around the borders of the floors of the home. I would have liked the house to be dusted a little more. However, it was a nice clean stay, when it came to the bed, kitchen, and restrooms. White sheets on the beds were very nice as well - wash cloths were not provided, but drying towels we’re. I would have loved to have some to wash up with. I had to go buy some. Pro: I was able to contact their customer support team, and they were able to pick up within minutes, which is also nice Incase you need assistance with your rental. Con: two restrooms, but one bath tub. Not such a big deal, but it would have been great to have two full size restrooms. ##### Taylor ### 10/10 Excellent #### Slavina Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had an amazing stay at this cabin - well thought out, homey, and inviting interior. Great kitchen, bedroom layout and living/dining area. This part of Moonridge is both quaint and quiet, yet close to all. We loved the nice luxurious touch of Grown Alchemist toiletries accompanied by plentiful fluffy towels, bed pillows and covers. We would definitely consider returning to this property. ##### Slavina Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lang Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Everything great so far ##### Lang Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karla Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No funcionó la chimenea externa y en la interna no proporcionan madera, la calefacción al máximo no llega a todas las habitaciones ##### Karla Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Sheraton-Park-Hotel-At-The-Anaheim-Resort.h3775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anaheim](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hilton-Anaheim.h9.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort/Convention Cntr](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Cntr.h9476.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles Int'l Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Resort Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Suites-Hotel.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Palms Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Desert-Palms-Hotel-Suites.h1571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
