The Space:

Whistling Woods is a mountain retreat designed for groups who want space, views, and entertainment all in one place. Set in Moonridge just two blocks from Bear Mountain's slopes and forest trails, with Big Bear Lake and the village just a short drive away.



The centerpiece is the expansive 2,000 sq ft back deck with panoramic views of Bear Mountain and the lake — complete with a hot tub, 2 fire pits, and plenty of seating to unwind after a day of adventure. Inside, the open floor plan connects the fully equipped kitchen, dining, and living areas, anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The game room features rustic wood-beam ceilings, a pool table, electronic dartboard, and a dry bar — perfect for evening entertainment. Smart TVs in every bedroom keep everyone comfortable after a full day out.



The 2-car garage includes family essentials (pack n play, changing table, high chair) and a Tesla EV charger. While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Beautiful views

Overall place was nice. We enjoyed the views and hot tub. It wasn’t as clean as I would like it to be and no spa towels were available. It needs a little remodeling. Only one bathroom was updated. The location and views was the best.

Great Mountain Rental

Would give this home a 4.5 STAR if we could. It was lovely and VERY clean! Communication from management company was great. We had a party of 11 including adults and teens and had room for everyone. Only complaints would be twin mattresses in the bunk room were NOT comfortable - multiple complaints from kids : ( That room also stayed a bit colder than others, but there were plenty of extra blankets to be found! Overall, the home was well maintained, well equipped kitchen, clean hot tub, and GORGEOUS view! We would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous View, but lacked a few key components

You really can’t beat the view. Stunning!!! House was clean, and large enough for our party of 12. But kitchen only have 10 forks, and 5 mugs; we were only supplied with 11 towels for 12 people plus a jacuzzi. We could do laundry but no laundry supplies. The one thing that we just couldn’t get around was the lighting in the main level. We like to play games and the house was so dimly lit, we had to use our phone flashlights to see. No recessed lighting, only a chandler with the small candle bulbs. Kitchen was dimly lit too making it hard to cook. These are all very easy fixes. I hope the owners can make these small adjustments.

Wonderful Property

We had Friendsgiving at this property this year. The house was perfect for our dinner and weekend. The Spa, and Pool table, along with the perfect location was great! The house was so nice, comfortable and had enough bedrooms for everyone. It is exactly what the listing stated. We would stay here again next year and are hoping to do so.

Perfect Big Bear Family Vacation

This was the most beautiful cabin with the most spectacular views! Very clean and spacious. The spa was amazing! It snowed while we were there and they had sleds for the kids to slide down the slopes right on the side of the cabin. They also had extra snow boots in the mud room for anyone to use. The beds were heavenly and they had new Ugg comforters on them! They provided large towels for the spa and had two types of coffee makers! We are going back in the spring...I don't think we will ever stay anywhere else! The staff at check in were the best!! Allowed us to check in early and then extended our check out time. Perfect weekend with the family!
