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!
Big Bear Village: 1.5 miles
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.

The home was great! It was clean and well-stocked (except with coffee). The home's location and views were fantastic and the fenced in yard was perfect for our pups. We loved having so much space and the rec room with the arcade machine and pool table made it fun for the whole family.

Lovely home in peaceful neighborhood

My friends and I really enjoyed ourselves when we stayed at this property. It was spacious enough for our group of 11. The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up meals and we utilized the grill often. The location was great, just minutes away from the town and store to pick up supplies. The host was amazing and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of.

The house was very nice. I took my son and some friends for a few days. House was fully stocked with pots and pans, plenty of bakeware and cups, wine glasses, coffee maker, most everything you need. There is no access to a dock so that was disappointing bc I thought it was lakefront, but the place was clean with plenty of room. The kids had the entire downstairs to themselves and I stayed upstairs in the large master. House got a hot during the day but the fans helped and there are plenty in the house. Nothing much to walk to but there is a nice park a few blocks away with a beach volleyball court.

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!

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.

Absolutely loved this beautiful home! We had a party of 11 (4 of them were teens) and the house was the perfect size. Close to the lake, grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Check-in was easy, house was immaculate and there were plenty of houseware supplies for cooking. The teens (as well as adults) were entertained with the pool table, video games, air hockey and corn hole that were available at the house, not a bored body in sight!!! I was impressed with the "home guide" that provided fishing locations, hiking locations etc! It really helps when you're not a local. I was concerned before arrival when I learned that there was no central A/C, however there is a wall unit in the upstairs family room and multiple fans throughout the house. I admit I am a grouchy person in the heat but it was perfect with the a/c and fans. Downstairs stayed pretty cool all the time. I just advise to keep window shades closed during those peak sun hours to keep it cool. Julie was great with suggestions of activities and dining before we even arrived in Big Bear. It helped us plan activities for the whole family ahead of arrival.

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!
