Welcome to Castle Glen Estates, made up of Eagle Ridge Retreat & Linaker Lodge! These two homes are right around the corner from each other, with a combined total of 9 bedrooms, sleeping 27 guests—an ideal option for family trips or groups looking to spread out.

Linaker Lodge is a luxurious mountain retreat nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive Castle Glen Estate region of Big Bear. With an impressive open-style lodge encompassing over 3500 feet of living space, the retreat emphasizes mountain living at its finest and is the perfect family and friends getaway throughout the year. The lodge boasts a very large central family great room complete with vaulted ceilings, relaxing sofas, a 60” smart TV, and an oversized dining table easily accommodating 8 guests. There is a newly renovated oversized gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and modern stainless steel appliances catering to any kitchen enthusiast. An additional entertainment room with a log cabin-style bar, regulation-sized pool table, and another 60” smart TV only adds to the functionality. There are four bedrooms, including a wonderful primary suite with a fireplace, soaking tub, and large screen plasma TV. Two additional bedrooms with queen beds as well as a fourth bedroom complete with two twin-over-full bunk beds make this home the ultimate escape for multiple families and friends to share.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this Big Bear VRBO! The customer service was friendly and responsive, the property was clean, spacious, and as described, with an excellent location and great amenities. The only downside (otherwise it would be 5 stars) was the non-functional outdoor lights for the hot tub area, which maintenance couldn’t fix despite their prompt response. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d recommend this rental to others.
