About The Eyas Chalet Cabin

The Eyas Chalet cabin is set up to be the perfect place for a family retreat! The hosts have gone above and beyond to make every guest feel relaxed and welcome during the stay.

The house has a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, oven, toaster, and microwave. There is also a coffee machine and tea-making supplies for starting the day off right!

The main living room has a lounge and dining area with an open-plan kitchen. Just outside, there are balconies on both levels where you can enjoy partial mountain views.

From the property, you can easily walk to LuluBelle’s Coffee House and Bakery that’s located just around the corner. There’s also El Toto’s Mexican Restaurant, Neo’s Pizza House, and Rocky’s Roadhouse within a short drive of the cabin.

There is enough space to accommodate two parked cars (max). There is no street parking outside so be mindful to only bring two vehicles.

The Rooms

The house has three rooms that can sleep up to 6 people. The rooms are decorated in a chic mountain style with wooden accents and modern touches.

The top floor includes two smaller rooms with full beds and a shared bathroom. The main bedroom is down narrow stairs and has an elevated king-size bed with its own private deck.

The main bedroom has a fireplace with a heater that you can turn on to stay warm overnight. Adjacent to the room, you will find a private bathroom along with a washer and dryer.

This deck has an outdoor seating area and a BBQ grill that’s perfect for making family-style meals. 

On this trip, we brought along our 9-month-old baby. Do note that the cabin does not come with a crib so you’ll need to bring your own travel crib for infants.

Cabin Amenities

This mountain cabin comes with many thoughtful touches for guests including complimentary snacks, drinks, and firewood for enjoying a cozy fire at night.

In the evenings you can gather around the outdoor fire pit and enjoy some quality time with your family. The hosts provide a s’mores kit for those who are craving something a bit sweet!

The main living room has a large flat-screen TV with Netflix access. If you’d rather stay off technology, there is a large bookcase with many different books to check out during your stay.

Pet Policy

The Eyas Chalet cabin is very dog-friendly and welcomes up to two four-legged friends per stay (sorry – no cats allowed).

After checking in, our pup was greeted with his own welcome package in one of the rooms. The hosts provided us with a dog bed, bowls, doggie treats, and a couple of toys for him to play with.

There are extra blankets to cover couches or any other furniture that your furry friend may end up using.

Things To Do In Running Springs

Here are a few of the top things to do during your stay in Running Springs:

Little Green Valley Trail

Little Green Valley Trail is a great hike option for those staying in Running Springs. This trail is located only a 10-minute drive from the property and leads to a beautiful meadow hidden in the mountains.

The trail is only 2.5 miles long but it does have 600 feet of elevation gain. It climbs steadily up switchbacks until it ends at a vibrant meadow full of lush plants, grasses, and wildflowers.

SkyPark At Santa’s Village

If you have little kids with lots of energy, SkyPark at Santa’s Village is a fun theme park where they can run around and enjoy many different activities.

Some of my favorites were climbing, archery, ax throwing, sharp shooting, and zip lining. We came here with an infant and an 8 year old and we all had a blast!

SkyPark is located a 10-minute drive from Running Springs. This park is not only for kids – it also has a wide variety of mountain biking trails making it a great place to adventure for the entire family.

Lake Arrowhead

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the San Bernadino Mountains, a visit to Lake Arrowhead is a must!

For first-time visitors, I recommend stopping by the Lake Arrowhead Village where you can browse through souvenir shops or take a stroll down to the lake. If you’re looking for a place to go for a walk, follow the South Shore Trail that winds around the lakefront.

For food options, Belgian Waffle Works is my personal favorite. The food is quick and delicious plus you can enjoy sitting on the patio overlooking the lake marina.

Snow Valley Mountain Resort

Situated across from Little Green Valley Trail, Snow Valley Mountain Resort is a fun place for those who enjoy more extreme outdoor activities.

In the summer you can come here for downhill mountain biking trails. In the winter those same trails are used for skiing and snowboarding.

Many people prefer Snow Valley Mountain Resort compared to Bear Mountain or Snow Summit. This resort is much cheaper and less crowded than the Big Bear Lake resorts.
