The Engels Nest- Trails all around!

The Engels Nest provided indeed what the title promised and more. The trails are all around and within a 10 min walk, and climbing some rocks, you will have and spectacular view. The house is very cosy and provides all needed. The kids toys and board games were a welcoming surprise for our two sons.
Green Valley Lake is a beautiful, quiet but welcoming small mountain town. The surrounding towns like Arrow Head are definitely worth a visit.
We spent four nights at The Engels Nest and enjoyed the simpleness and southing energy of the cabin very much.

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend with our 9 month old baby. The cabin is just perfect, and the town (GVL and Running Springs) so cute, with lots to do. We would absolutely stay here again. GVL is the perfect escape from LA and Jodi’s cabin felt like staying at a family friend’s place, not an airbnb - which we loved. There are other houses close-by, as another reviewer said, but it still felt very private to us.

The host was great even when i called late at night. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We had a great stay. We will be back again.

Cute spot. Rustic but good vibes and location near the lake. Very kid friendly!

Fridge out of service
No trash can in the bathroom

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Jodi's cabin for my 30th birthday weekend. The cabin itself is well designed, has great "cabin vibes" without being too rustic, and had everything we wanted/needed (lots of kitchen supplies, fireplace, comfortable bed, TV/DVDs, and games). It's probably the best cabin we've stayed at in the area, likely because it's a family cabin and not just a vacation rental. Green Valley Lake is also a fantastic alternative to the bigger, more touristy Big Bear. We enjoyed hiking, walking around the lake, viewing the sunset at inspiration point, and visiting a couple great country-style restaurants (about 15 min from GVL). We highly recommend driving down to Old Country Coffee Shop for breakfast/pie!

This cozy little spot was the perfect getaway for some peace and quiet. It had everything we needed! All the kitchen amenities, movies, board games, blankets and electric heaters were wonderful to have. Shower was hot and had good water pressure. We loved having those hiking trails walking distance from the cabin. Would love to come back here.

Great spot for a weekend getaway. Cozy cabin. Scenic hikes just a short walk away from the cabin. There were 6 of us and a dog, we all fit comfortably inside. Nice areas to hangout in the back of the cabin as well. Green Valley Lake is a nice little town, beautiful lake right in the center of town.
Bring your own firewood for the fire place as that is not provided. One downside is the propane tank for the bbq was empty so we had to drive to the next town to get the last one the gas station had. Besides that everything else is provided inside and everyone had a great time.

This was a great cozy cabin perfect for small groups or a couple! I didn’t feel like anything was super dated and felt all the furnishings were great. I loved how quiet the neighborhood is if you are looking for some R&R. I also loved the forest so close and was a nice simple hike.
