Before You Book

Check-in, the pet policy, parking, winter driving, and the house rules at Chalet Étoile.

How close is the cabin to skiing?

Bear Mountain is about a four minute drive, and one lift ticket covers Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. The cabin is in Moonridge, and the deck looks toward Bear Mountain.

Is Chalet Étoile pet friendly?

Yes, dogs are welcome and the backyard is fully fenced on all four sides. Dogs are not permitted on the furniture. Assistance animals are always allowed.

How many guests can the cabin sleep?

Five. There is a king in Bedroom One, a queen in Bedroom Two, and a sofa bed in the living room. Maximum occupancy is five and it is strictly enforced. Both bedrooms have remote-controlled mini splits for heat and air conditioning.

What time is check-in and checkout?

Check-in is after 3:00 PM and checkout is by 11:00 AM. Entry is by keypad, and the code is sent to you on the day you arrive.

Is there parking? What about winter driving?

The driveway holds two vehicles and is relatively flat, with only a few steps up to the front door. In snow season, carry chains as required on the mountain highways and check CalTrans conditions before you drive up.

Does the cabin have a hot tub?

Yes. It seats five and sits in the fenced backyard facing the trees, with adirondack chairs and a fire pit next to it. The fire pits should be put out and covered when you are done with them.

Can I work from the cabin?

There is wifi and a West Elm desk in the king bedroom.

What are the house rules?

No smoking, and no parties or events. Quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and music and noise should not carry beyond the property line at any time. Dogs stay off the furniture. Put out and cover the fire pits when you are done, use the outdoor furniture covers and replace them before you leave, and close all the gates and turn off the lights on your way out.

What do I do with trash? Is there wildlife around?

Wildlife moves through the neighborhood regularly. Coyotes were getting into guest trash, so we ask that trash goes to the secure drop points instead of sitting outside the cabin. It keeps the animals out of the garbage.

How do I book the cabin?

Through the Airbnb listing, which has live availability, current pricing, and reviews. Any Book on Airbnb button on this site will take you there.

Is the cabin registered with the city?

Yes. Chalet Étoile operates under City of Big Bear Lake short-term rental registration 2025-2528.
