Eagle's Nest Lodge is a Ponderosa-style log cabin bed and breakfast on Big Bear Boulevard, featuring five guest rooms each with a private bathroom, TV, and gas or electric fireplace. The lodge has a warm, rustic feel with complimentary snacks, free Wi-Fi, and a movie library for cozy evenings in. A fresh breakfast is served each morning.

The location works well if you’re planning a mountain getaway with your dog. You’re right on the main route through Big Bear Lake, which means easy access to the Village for supplies and dining, proximity to Snow Summit, and quick connections to nearby hiking trails perfect for morning walks. The casual lodge atmosphere feels more relaxed than a typical hotel — it’s the kind of place where you can settle in without worrying too much about pristine furnishings.

Eagle’s Nest does accept pets, though policies vary depending on which room you book. This is important to know upfront because there’s an $80 unauthorized pet fee if you don’t disclose your dog at the time of reservation. The fee exists for a reason, so being straightforward about your travel plans makes sense. Before you book, call ahead to confirm what the current pet policies actually are, what size or breed restrictions might apply, and whether there are any additional fees beyond the standard room rate. Policies can shift with management changes or seasonal adjustments, so a quick conversation will save you headaches later.

The lodge sits at elevation in the mountains, so if your dog isn’t used to higher altitude or cooler temperatures, keep that in mind when planning your stay. The private fireplaces in each room are genuinely useful during Big Bear’s chilly evenings, and having your dog curled up inside while you’re warm and comfortable beats shivering in a standard motel room.
