About this property

BREATHTAKING LAKE VIEWS - HUGE GREAT ROOM & GAME ROOM, DUAL FIREPLACES, PACMAN!


Eagle Cove Retreat is located directly across the street from the water’s edge in Big Bear’s most prestigious neighborhood, Eagle Point. You will have direct lake access by walking just two minutes down the street to the public access road. Come and enjoy our best of Big Bear UNOBSTRUCTED, SPECTACULAR, PANORAMIC LAKE VIEWS from the home’s upstairs great room that features vaulted ceilings, a spacious open floorplan, and floor to ceiling windows. You may also choose to enjoy the view from the huge front balcony that can be accessed from both the great room and master suite or the downstairs game room. The breathtaking lake views are sure to impress even the most particular of travelers.

The home is spacious, well maintained, tastefully decorated and we have VERY HIGH CLEANING STANDARDS, as reflected in our very strong 4.9 review average. As a convenience to our guests, our property manager is on call daily to answer any questions that you may have during your stay.

Eagle Cove is a two story luxury home boasting an open concept, spacious floor plan. The expansive interior allows plenty of room to accommodate large rental parties and multiple families traveling together. The upstairs great room and downstairs game room offer two large, separate living areas for guests to spread out. The kids can challenge each other to a game of pool or Pac-Man in the game room, while the adults enjoy a quiet dinner in the great room aside the sweeping lake views. Both rooms feature comfortable couches, smart tvs, floor to ceiling wood burning fireplaces to complete the modern, high-end, yet cozy atmosphere.

The Pac-Man machine features 60 old school games, super fun for kids and adults alike!

The home’s kitchen is conveniently located just off of the great room. It is clean, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and very well stocked with all of the comforts of home.

Eagle Cove Retreat is also a rare find for pet owners that are looking for a luxury home that allows their furry family members! The yard is fully gated and pet safe. We welcome up to three pre-approved dogs with a pet fee - $100 for one or two dogs, $125 for our max of three dogs.

Centrally located, Eagle Cove Retreat is in the heart of Big Bear Lake and close to all of the best activities that Big Bear Lake has to offer!

Meadow Park: 0.5 miles

**Because of the very high cost of utilities on the mountain, groups of 10 to 12 guests are subject to $75 large party fee. For a party of 12, that is only $6.25 flat additional per person, but it allows us to accommodate very large groups while keeping our nightly rates low. The upstairs/downstairs spacious/open floorplan works perfect for large groups and three showers makes getting ready in a large group more realistic. Fee charged after booking.

Peaceful Home
I just returned from a rejuvenating weekend in Big Bear, and it was truly the most peaceful vacation I've had in a long time. The house is amazing , The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning views that enhanced the tranquil atmosphere. The neighborhood was quiet, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Both the kids and adults were thoroughly happy, enjoying everything the cabin and surrounding area had to offer. I wholeheartedly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. I can't wait to go back!

Spring Break by Big Bear Lake
Julie was very humble from the very beginning. She communicated fast, she opened her beautiful home to my family and I, she was very helpful with supplies, she just was an amazing host! We had never seen it actually snow and it was amazing! Her home was comfortable, warm, and cozy. I loved the upstairs view. We were able to see the stars with my moms telescope. It was so cold outside, but her home had everything. Movies, games, even a pool table. I definetly recommed staying in her home. I would most likely come back again next time when i save money. Thank you Julie for sharing your home and being the best host ever on Vrbo! You deserve an extra star!

Wonderful cabin
This little gem was far enough away to have privacy and the quiet atmosphere that a cabin should have yet close bough to the village to enjoy its amenities. I would stay again. A little dated on the inside but cozy and comfortable for an entire family.

Great location
The home is across the street from the lake, so the view from the balcony is beautiful. As with all homes with a great sunset view, the house gets warm in the afternoon, but it wasn’t overwhelming. The kitchen was very well stocked. The driveway is long, so parking was easy. The bedding was comfortable. Julie was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We loved our stay.

Don’t rent this place during the hot Summer
We rented the cabin on a Friday, Saturday, with checkout on Sunday on July 19,20,21. The high temperature was about 85 degrees during our stay. Since the cabin DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING, you have to open the windows in the morning, then close them and draw all of the shades from mid morning to the late afternoon, then open the shades and windows once the sun has almost set. The signature view in all of the photos in this listing go unappreciated for most of the day as you have to keep the shades drawn. Why pay for a million dollar view that you cannot enjoy. The cabin provides many portable fans to combat the heat as well as some ceiling fans, but, we still suffered through the middle of the day in a hot stuffy house. I would consider renting this place in the early Spring or late Fall when the sun would be welcomed to warm up the cabin, but, I would NEVER RENT THIS HOUSE AGAIN DURING THE SUMMER! The host was fantastic, the kids loved the game room with the pool table and the multiple different electronic game table. A few glitches - one of the bunk beds did not have sheets but the host told us where she had extras, one of the windows did not have a screen, so, we could not open that window for fresh air. One of the inside shades had a broken chain to raise and lower that blind. Positives - there was plenty of room to park all 4 cars that we had, the code to get into the cabin made it easy to give everyone access with no multiple keys involved,

Loved the house.
House and location were amazing. Family played lots of pool and enjoyed the view. Fishing was a short walk down the street. We went during a heat wave unfortunately for us and the house is not equipped with air conditioning, not many are in the area. This made the second floor pretty uncomfortable. Our whole family slept downstairs, luckily there was plenty of room for 2 adults and two children. The property manager Julie was great and kept in close contact. She made sure to set us up with plenty of fans throughout the house prior to our arrival. Also provided extremely helpful information on things to do and places to eat. Overall, I would definitely recommend a stay at this home and would love to return while keeping an eye on the weather forecast!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Christensen

Host profile image
Eagle Cove Retreat was purchased by the Hardy family in 2018 as a peaceful place to unplug and escape LA with their young children. VRBO users themselves, the Hardys are excited to share their dream home with other families through the VRBO website. Upon purchasing the home, the family did an extensive update to the furnishing and decor. Everything is clean, new and ready for guests.

Julie Christensen, a long time VRBO host herself, took over management of Eagle Cove Retreat in March of 2019. A seasoned host, Julie knows exactly what visiting guests expect and is ready to give five star service from the start of the booking process to check-out. She will be on call throughout your entire stay to assist you.

Why they chose this property

Eagle Point was the clear choice when we began looking for a home in Big Bear Lake because of its central location being close in proximity to both the lake and slopes. The lake views from the home sealed the deal and made choosing Eagle Cove a clear choice!

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to the lake.

Freshly painted, new flooring throughout and professionally decorated in April of 2021. Everything is clean and new!
