Moonridge Branchwater Lodge with Hot Tub & Game Loft | Near Bear Mountain

Branchwater Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Located in the quiet forest of Moonridge, the 6BR/4.5BA Branchwater Lodge is an elegant cabin getaway on an acre of land that backs up to the small Bow Canyon Creek. With 2,555 square feet of living space, you'll have plenty of room for an outdoor feeling.

Take in alpine vistas while soaking in the hot tub on the wraparound deck, then relax in front of the fireplace in the airy living room. A gourmet kitchen and a pool table add to the appeal of this choice Big Bear Lake retreat.

LIVING AREA

Wood ceilings soar in the open living room, where a rock fireplace (wood-burning with a gas starter) sits center stage. Settle into posh furniture and screen a film on the 55in TV.

A loft on the second floor has a pool table and a 55in TV.

KITCHEN & DINING

The kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops and sleek black appliances, including a gas range and double ovens. Make use of two wine fridges: one in the kitchen and one in the bar area.

Serve meals at the expandable dining table for 10.

BED & BATH

This home sleeps 12 adults and one child.

On the first floor, the primary bedroom features a king bed and a 36in TV. Stone details adorn the en-suite bathroom, appointed with a tub/shower combination.

The second bedroom has a king bed and a 40in TV, while the third bedroom has a queen bed. These rooms share a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Upstairs, the fourth bedroom has a king bed and a twin-over-full bunk bed; a classic clawfoot tub awaits in the en-suite bathroom.

Find a pair of full-size beds in the fifth bedroom and a single king bed in the sixth bedroom, which has a private balcony. These rooms also share a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

A half bath on the main floor provides added convenience.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

The new custom-built wraparound deck has ample seating for alfresco meals and relaxing in the breeze. A smoker and a gas grill expand your culinary options.

Take in the scenery from your private, covered hot tub. The front yard offers additional seating on the classic wooden furniture.

Stunning Getaway
Branchwater was breathtaking! The lodge was gorgeous, spacious, and the property was nestled in an area with the most beautiful views. We can’t wait to come back!

Awesome Family Vacation
This is our second annual family trip to the amazing house. There is so much room inside and outside the house for the kids to have fun. The house come with a lot of games, we love playing cornhole on the deck and the kids love playing pool. It was perfect for the dogs since there is a fenced in back yard and water bowls for the dogs. The house and property is jaw dropping and is well maintained. The location is quiet and perfect to relax in nature. There is a hiking trail at the end of the street that is perfect for all ages. I highly recommend this house.

Big Bear Get-away
We enjoyed a long holiday weekend at Branchwater Lodge. Unit was well-stocked and great for our get-together. We also had a private chef cook amazing meals for our group. Everyone enjoyed the stay. Only minor complaint was having to drive all our trash to a local dump site, but this is apparently a Big Bear City ordinance.

Sibling Getaway
We had an amazing stay this past weekend at this Big Bear location. We went with all of our siblings ages 18-32 and our kids ages 8 months to 7 years. The rooms were great and we loved the variety of bed setup and room layouts. The room with the bunkbed was perfect for us with our 2 children and the adjoining rooms were great for the single siblings. We would definitely rent this location again.

Beautiful Branchwater Lodge
Large classy log cabin, impeccably decorated, loaded with extra comforts with everything you need for a pleasant and memorable stay. Our family’s second year in a row renting this gorgeous private property. Stocked to the hilt and super comfortable for adults, teens, children and pets. My only suggestions would be that the home provide a cupboard or two for guests to keep dried goods and food they bring. Also, the Sono Sound system that is advertised Is not available to renters and signs are posted that it is only available to the residence and not to be used. We downloaded the App, it didn’t work. It would be great if it was made available with good instructions. Also the outdoor porch heater didn’t work. These complaints did not interrupt our ability to have a very Grand time and we truly were sad to leave. This magical place is worth it.
