About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gold Rush - Eagle's Nest Rustic Cabin

This is a studio style rustic cabin located on the main street Big Bear Blvd near popular attractions, such as The Village a mile away, and Snow Summit less than a mile away. This cabin features full wood logs as part of the architecture, cozy private spa and fireplace to complete the Big Bear Lake experience!

From the curb the property may not seem all that appealing, but once you enter the driveway lined by pine trees, you'll find a little gem hidden behind those pine trees. Plenty of room for parking, and much privacy for couples.

The main cabin (originally the bed and breakfast building operated by the original owners) is not accessible to guest occupying this listing unless permission is given. A large selection of boardgames and DVDs are available in there, and you can request specific entertainment options from there to be used and then returned during your stay. You're welcome to use and enjoy any of the benches in and around the gardens on the property, and kindly share the barbecues :)

During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Eagle Point. A spa tub is available. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a fireplace.

Nightmare

Everything was dirty in the Eagle nest room and the bathroom was felty and in top of that the hosstes didn't speak english. To be honest I don't know why they charge a cleaning fee. I make the reservation since July. My husband and I wanted to celebrate our wedding Anniversary we were very disappointed with our staying over there. If anyone goes to rent a cabin make sure that for real is a cabin and take your blankets and towels and shampoos and anything else you made need.( I can believe that they charge $1.00 dls for dirty towels).

Visiting the wolves

I stayed here while visiting the wolf sanctuary in Lucerne Valley, like that it is so much cooler in Big Bear. Cabin was cute and comfortable, wish it had been cooler time a year so I could have used the beautiful fireplace. Will love to stay there again on my next visit.

Great experience - recommended

Our cabin was adorable and very close to the city. We went in Summer, and enjoyed the lake, but winter must be amazing as well. Super clean and the lady who welcomed us was very nice, although she did not speak English, she had a translator and we could communicate.

Run Down

Outside appearance was ok. Windows, gutters and porches needed to be clean. Inside was a total 70 vibe, dark and bathroom needed to be remolded badly!

If you are easy going or have low expectations, this might be the place for you! This is not your average Expedia property- NO, this is a VRBO (owned by Expedia). 8 days before my trip, I tried to reach out to the property owner/host. I needed a rollaway bed or cot for my traveling partner. I tried FOUR different methods- I emailed, called, texted and messaged through the Expedia website. To this day, I still have yet to get a reply. I spoke with VRBO about my issues. They tried to contact the host and they could not either. They would not let me get a refund and I booked MONTHS in advance, so I could not get a solution from my credit card. So I was stuck with the reservation or I would lose my money. Instructions are vague at best. We arrived and found the main house, which no one was working at. I found rooms upstairs, but none were labeled "Gold Rush". So we wandered the property and eventually found some cabins. The Gold Rush was very small with only one queen sized bed. VERY soft and lumpy. We moved a parlor couch out of the way- I brought a blowup mattress and sleeping bag, because we didn't know what to expect. Everything is very old. The bathroom tiles have mold growing in between. I was afraid to use the shower, but had no choice. It felt dirty. I would NEVER in a million years recommend this place to anyone. It's cheap, but that's about it. Stay at one of the competitors- you will feel better about it.

Our hot water wasn’t working so we could not shower/take a bath. We reached out to the host who sent a woman to our room, but unfortunately couldn’t not speak English, which is not a problem, but it was very hard to communicate what we were trying to say. We were then told we can shower in a different room, and when I asked to live to that room they said “it wasn’t available”. I spoke to the host via text about a refund for the night and we would leave the next day and they stated a refund will be provided. Almost a month later I have not heard or seen anything from them. Please do not stay here.

Short Holiday Getaway

We had a lovely time. The cabin is small, but perfect for us. It is clean and the bed was very comfortable. We brought our own extension cord, but would suggest adding one in the room for the coffee pot. Also, the listing says and shows a picture of a jacuzzi / spa outside, there is no jacuzzi. Thank you, we will come back.

Cozy cabin

Perfect location! Very cozy and comfortable for short stays and getaways to nearby attractions!! The fireplace was awesome! My only complaint would be with the bed! In desperate need of a new matress topper. Overall it was a wondeful stay!

Looks quaint but actually really run down

The bed had a big sink hole covered by a memory foam, the fireplace had no wood and none for sale on property as promised, coffee maker cord could not reach outlet… and no cream or sugar, the price was jacked up to cover VrBO fees- much less on other sites I found later, the microwave was dirty and the furnace fan was so noisy - it was impossible to sleep through. I made due by going to local Vons that was not close but felt very disappointed and stuck in a place that seemed to have good reviews. I asked for partial refund but was ignored after 2 days patiently waiting for response.
