Castlewood Retreat at Big Bear | Central Modern Family Chalet
Welcome to Castlewood Retreat- the perfect estate for a group of friends, couple's getaway, or a larger family vacation to the mountains. Nestled in the picturesque Castle Glen Estates, this stunning cabin offers an unparalleled blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. The expansive property boasts a main house with 4 spacious bedrooms, each exuding comfort and elegance, and a separate Casita above the garage featuring 2 additional bedrooms, perfect for guests or family members seeking privacy.
Inside the main house, you'll find a gourmet kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, ideal for creating culinary masterpieces. The open concept living room, bathed in natural light, is anchored by a cozy fireplace, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxation. The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring its own fireplace, creating the perfect ambiance for peaceful nights.
The garage is much more than a place to park cars—it's a fully equipped entertainment hub. With a game room featuring a game table, foosball, hoops, pool table, arcade games, and shuffleboard, there's no shortage of fun for everyone. Adjacent to this, you'll find a dedicated cinema room, providing the perfect spot for movie nights with friends and family. Outside, the spacious yard offers a private oasis with a relaxing spa and a large deck, ideal for enjoying the serene surroundings or hosting outdoor gatherings. This property combines the best of both worlds, offering a peaceful retreat with luxurious amenities, making it the ultimate mountain getaway.
