About this property

Menlo Treehouse. Guest house, Sauna, Hot Tub and Views!

Welcome to the Menlo Treehouse Mansion, a captivating hilltop sanctuary in Moonridge, offering panoramic views of the Big Bear mountain range and ski slopes from every corner. Experience serenity in our main cabin, complete with a rejuvenating sauna, two inviting fireplaces, and an expansive bedroom transformed into an engaging game and TV room for family fun.
Adjacent lies our charming guest house, a secluded gem with awe-inspiring Bear Mountain vistas and a private entrance. Bask in the natural light that floods through the large windows, creating a luminous and cozy atmosphere. The living area, adorned with a classic stone wood-burning fireplace, sets the scene for memorable nights in the crisp mountain air.
Step out onto the expansive deck to witness nature's grandeur; this outdoor haven is equipped with plush seating, ideal for morning reflections with coffee or evening toasts with wine. Here, every moment is an invitation to relax and connect with the breathtaking scenery.
Whether seeking a tranquil haven or an action-packed mountain escape, Menlo Treehouse Mansion embodies the quintessential Big Bear experience. Immerse yourself in this picturesque retreat, where peace and adventure harmoniously intertwine.

While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.
