Tucked along Moonridge Court, Fox & Swan Chalet offers a refined retreat above the lake — where the hush of old-growth forest meets the warmth of thoughtful hospitality.
Fox & Swan Chalet was born from a simple conviction: that the best mountain escapes are measured not in amenities, but in moments — the crackle of a stone fireplace, the first light over the San Bernardino peaks, the silence that only high pine country can offer.
Perched on Moonridge Court, our lodge sits above the bustle of Big Bear Lake, wrapped in a canopy of fir and juniper. Every detail — from the hand-selected timber to the curated furnishings — honors the character of this place while offering the comfort you deserve after a day on the water or the trail.
We are not a resort. We are a refuge. And we invite you to stay awhile.
Every element of your stay is considered — from the moment you arrive to the last starlit evening on your private deck.
Timber-frame chalets and suites designed with the warmth of California mountain architecture — exposed beams, stone accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the forest.
Set back from the main road on a quiet cul-de-sac, our grounds offer genuine privacy. Each lodging unit faces inward toward the grove or outward toward the mountains — never toward another room.
Big Bear's four seasons are each worth experiencing. Summer lakeside recreation, autumn color, winter snowsports, and spring wildflowers — all within a short drive from your door.
Hand-forged key accessories, locally roasted coffee, premium linens, and fully equipped kitchens — the small details that transform a stay into a memory.
Near Moonridge Park and the Mountain Loop Trail, with easy access to Big Bear Lake, Snow Summit, and the village — yet worlds away from the crowds.
No automated check-ins or corporate scripts. Our team greets you by name, shares local knowledge you won't find online, and ensures your stay feels effortlessly arranged.
Each accommodation is thoughtfully appointed to match the character of the forest around it.
An intimate studio with a king bed, stone fireplace, and a private deck overlooking the pine grove. Ideal for couples seeking solitude.
A full two-bedroom chalet with vaulted timber ceilings, a wraparound porch, and panoramic mountain views. Designed for families and small gatherings.
Our signature property — a standalone lodge perched on the ridge with floor-to-ceiling glass, a hot tub, and unobstructed views from Lake Arrowhead to San Gorgonio Peak.
Whether you seek adventure on the water, trails through ancient forests, or simply the peace of high-altitude stillness — Big Bear delivers.
"We've stayed at lodges across the Sierra and beyond, but nothing compares to the sense of peace here. The chalet felt like coming home to somewhere we'd never been. The mountains, the silence, the warmth — it was perfect."
We accept reservations by phone and email. For the best selection, especially during peak seasons, we recommend calling us directly.
