Featured in Dwell magazine. The only property of its kind in Big Bear. House of Bear is a Scandinavian-inspired architectural retreat in Moonridge, Big Bear's most coveted neighborhood near Bear Mountain and minutes to Snow Summit. Built new in 2024 and featured in Dwell for its rare design sensibility, this is not a cabin. It is a fully operational short-term rental business delivered turnkey, with an established booking presence, branded platforms, and verified income history ready to transfer on day one. The incredible luxury interiors include: raw travertine, calacatta viola marble, hand-applied plaster walls, 30-foot ceilings, and a chef's kitchen that opens to mountain views. Jacuzzi, private deck, and EV charger round out an amenity set built for the modern guest. The home sleeps six across three bedrooms, performs across every Big Bear season, and is delivered fully furnished. Nothing to buy, nothing to set up. For the design-forward investor: House of Bear consistently performs at that ceiling in Big Bear for 3-bedroom STRs. Properties at this level of architectural finish, with editorial recognition from a publication like Dwell, occupy a category of their own in this market. Guests who seek that experience book repeatedly, refer others, and pay rates that generic mountain homes simply cannot command. That is the income advantage the design delivers. For the lifestyle buyer: use it four to six weeks per year and let the rental calendar handle the rest. The income history supports that model without compromise. Offered fully furnished.
