Each year Bear Mountain and Snow Summit invite Law Enforcement, EMS, Firefighters & Active Military to take advantage of Honor Our Heros/Uniform Days. The last opportunity this season will be on April 3 & 4. It’s the resort’s way of showing appreciation for the hard work and sacrifice of these folks. Just take your valid work identification to any Bear Mountain or Snow Summit ticket window and you will receive a $38.00 lift ticket. Up to a $21 savings!

Every Saturday in April the Big Bear Alpine Zoo offers animal feeding tours that allow you to go along with the zookeepers as they visit each of the animals with their meals. It’s a great experience for the kids, and a rare behind-the-scenes tour that you just can’t find at most zoos. The keeper takes time to explain interesting facts about the animals as they are fed — a great opportunity to learn about our wildlife! There’s no additional cost for the tour, but regular admission rates apply for entry into the zoo. Regular Zoo Hours are 10-5 on Saturdays/Sundays and 10-4 on weekdays. The feeding tours usually last about an hour starting at 3pm.

Plan Your Perfect Spring Vacation
Posted on 02/15/2013 in FiveStarVacationRental.com News and Updates.
We’re still hip-deep in snow at many of our resorts, but we always like looking ahead to plan for a special family getaway. The kids will be out of school for spring vacation in the next couple of months, so it’s wise to get your reservation in early. Spring vacation is always very busy, and our best units are already getting booked, so don’t delay. Here are a few ideas:
We may still have late season skiing available in Big Bear, Park City, and Mammoth Mountain. Be sure to call us for the latest snow conditions. But Big Bear is always our most popular destination whether there’s snow or not. The pristine beauty of the mountain is something that your family will enjoy in any weather.
We’re continuing to see the popularity of “staycations” with many of our guests choosing to rent much closer to home so they can finally get a tourist’s-eye view of their local attractions. How many of us live within a couple hour’s drive of Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, or Universal Studios, but haven’t been to any of them for years? And when you add the amazing luxury of one of our Southern California Beach homes into the equation, it becomes a truly memorable family vacation rather than just a day-trip. And think of the great fun your kids will have by inviting all of their friends to join them for a week on the beach in one of our luxury beach-side rentals. You’ll have the comfort of being right there with them, and they can still have a Spring Break with great stories to bring back. Call us at 310-780-3411 and we’ll help you choose the perfect Southern California luxury home for your getaway.
You may want this year’s vacation to be more exotic by planning a getaway to one of our luxury suites at Villa la Estancia in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico. We’ve got over a dozen units available in this resort, so this is another great option for a large group. Imagine the fun you’ll have looking out from the balcony of your amazing suite watching your kids and their friends frolic in the surf below. It’s a Spring Break that any parent could love, and won’t deny your kids any of the fun they’ll be craving either.
Be sure to look at our luxury rentals in Big Bear, Park City , Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, Mammoth Mountain, and Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. We’re committed to making sure your vacation will be a great memory for your entire family. Call us at 310-780-3411.
March Events in Big Bear
Posted on 02/08/2013 in Luxury Big Bear Cabins.
There’s snow on the ground now in Big Bear, but as Spring approaches, temperatures begin rising and the cold of winter is replaced with warmer, sunnier days. The comfortable weather of Spring is alluring, but it can mean limited accessibility to some of Big Bear’s snowier attractions. March is the perfect time to take advantage of Big Bear’s snowy landscape before it melts away. There are a multitude of activities in the area for everybody to explore this time of year.
One such activity is Guided Snowshoe Tours offered by the Southern California Mountains Foundation. On this tour, you can traverse through the San Bernardino National Forest with a tour guide and become acquainted with the natural features of Big Bear through snowshoeing. This is a great opportunity for individuals visiting the area who are interested in exploring Big Bear’s natural beauty, as well as for families looking for engaging and educational activities for kids. Discovering the beauty of Big Bear in wintertime is a treat for adults and kids both. For more information, call (909) 382-2790.
Several snowboarding and skiing events and competitions come to Big Bear in March, too. Whether you are interested in participating in or simply watching these events, there are certainly opportunities for interested visitors. The War of Rails is a skiing competition that takes place on March 2nd and is free to attend. For more information, call (909) 866-5766. Visitors can become involved in a good cause when The United States Adaptive Recreation Center (USARC) also hosts their annual Ski-A-Thon on the same day. Participants enroll to snowboard or ski to raise money for USARC. Additional information is available by calling (909) 584-0269.
These and other snowy events make March the ideal time to plan a Big Bear vacation. After a day of fun activities like these, you will love the comfort and luxury of one of our Big Bear Cabins. Call us at (310) 780-3411 to begin planning your trip!

Plan Your Perfect Valentine's Day Getaway
Posted on 02/01/2013 in Luxury Big Bear Cabins.
Valentine’s Day is just a couple weeks away, and you’re in danger of missing a huge opportunity. Sure, candy and flowers are nice, but isn’t it time to really show him or her a better demonstration of your affection? Flowers quickly wilt, and candy will disappear, but a romantic getaway will be something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. And we’ve got some of the most romantic getaways imaginable. Here are a couple ideas:
We’ve got great winter conditions in Big Bear right now, and whether you’re a skier or not, it’s a perfect time to get away. Imagine cooking a romantic dinner for your honey and settling down in front of a crackling fire with a nice glass of wine as you enjoy a romantic evening in one of our luxury Big Bear cabins. Many of our cabins also have toasty warm hot tubs that will be the perfect place to enjoy the crisp night air and watch as the stars put on their nightly show in the wide open skies above the treetops. It’s a perfect recipe for romance, and we’re sure it’s one that both of you will remember with a knowing smile for many years to come. Recharge your batteries, and rekindle the romance in your marriage with a weekend escape to Big Bear.
If you’ve got something more exotic in mind, we’ve got a perfect opportunity for that as well. Our beach side resort units in Puerto Nuevo Mexico are just amazing. There are daily flights from all southern California airports, and it’s a short cab ride from the airport to Villa la Estancia.
This world-class resort offers a level of luxury found in very few international destinations. Enjoy a fine gourmet meal at the on site restaurant, La Casona. This restaurant boasts some of the best reviews of the entire region, and you’ll enjoy an amazing fare of Kobe beef, or fresh local seafood. February weather in Puerto Nuevo sees daily highs usually in the 80’s, so later you can take a slow walk on the beach. You’ll delight in the sound of the surf as the pressures from back home seem a million miles away. Take your relaxation to an even deeper level with the resort’s spa, and you’ll see why Villa la Estancia is a prime destination for people from all over the world. Can you imagine anything more romantic?
We’ve helped hundreds of our guest put together the perfect romantic getaway, so be sure to call us to plan yours. But don’t delay, as Valentine’s Day is one of our busiest times, and we’ve got only a limited number of luxury units available. You can make this Valentine’s day one that will create sighs and smiles for many years to come, and we’ll be glad to help. Just give us a call at 310-780-3411, and we’ll get to work!
And remember we’ve also got luxury vacation rentals available in Park City,Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, and Mammoth Mountain. Your vacation time and romantic plans are just too important to leave to chance.
