This Horror-Themed California Cabin Is Straight Out of a Scary Movie 🪓👻

Pirates, horror fans may have just found their next getaway!

Hidden in Sugarloaf near Big Bear Lake, this wildly detailed Airbnb looks like someone turned a 1970s horror movie marathon into an actual cabin you can sleep in. The stay is packed with spooky surprises, including a replica Shining-inspired bathroom with an axe through the door, shelves of horror movie memorabilia, vintage décor, themed games, and an escape-room-style mystery built into the cabin. There are even special effects that can make the lights flicker, send static across the vintage TV, and trigger creepy sounds around the living room.

Don't want to spend the whole night wondering what just moved in the corner? The special effects can be switched off, so you can keep the retro atmosphere without quite as many jump scares. We found rates starting at around $320 per night, which comes to approximately $80 per person, per night when four people share, with Airbnb taxes and fees.

🏴‍☠️ Pirate Tip : This isn't just a Halloween stay. Big Bear is a year-round mountain destination, so you could pair your horror movie sleepover with hiking and lake time in warmer months or skiing and snowboarding during winter.
