May Events in Big Bear
Posted on 03/29/2013 in Luxury Big Bear Cabins.
May in Big Bear is packed full of great excuses to sneak away for a relaxing time in one of our luxury vacation rental estates. Of course, we’re convinced our wonderful cabins are excuse enough to beat feet to the mountain. But in case you needed a bit more of a nudge, here are just a handful of great events coming up in May.
Number one is Mother’s Day on May 12th. Okay, dad, we know she’s always pleased to get a nice dinner, flowers, and some candy. She’ll never complain about that. But isn’t it time to set the mark a bit higher? Make this year the one that she’ll always remember and tell all of her friends about. We’ll be glad to work with you to create a romantic getaway in one of our amazing cabins. Which do you think she’d prefer: Going out for a nice dinner and then going back home to watch TV, or going out for a nice dinner, and then returning to your luxurious estate cabin for a relaxing night in front of the fireplace and in the spa? Call us at 310-780-3411, and we’ll help you get this romantic getaway started.
On May 4th, you’ll have a chance to combine a fun getaway with a worthy cause. The annual Big Bear MS Walk takes place on Saturday May 4th on the North Shore’s Alpine Pedal Path. It’s a great opportunity to have the entire family help out a great charity while enjoying the beauty of Big Bear. For more details, click this link to visit the Walk MS website.
Weekends throughout May, enjoy the free nature walks offered by the Big Bear Discovery Center. These 30-minute Nature Walks are offered on Saturdays at 1pm and 2 pm and Sundays at 11 am and 12 noon. You’ll learn about the local plant life, wildlife and interesting historical facts. This is a great time for the entire family. The nature walks are not strenuous and designed for all levels of physical conditioning. More details at www.bigbeardiscoverycenter.com.
The Big Bear Alpine Zoo offers animal feeding tours on weekends. This has quickly become one of Big Bear’s most popular events, and the kids really love it. You’ll get to walk along with one of the zookeepers as they make their rounds feeding the various animals. It’s a great learning experience, and a rare close-up encounter with these animals. The tours start at 3:00 pm each Saturday and Sunday. Visit www.bigbearzoo.org for more info.
On May 18th, you can break out your fishing gear and head over to Big Bear Lake for a chance at some of the $10,000 purse in this year’s Jim Hall Memorial May Trout Classic. Last year’s winner landed an 11 pound trout and went home with a $2500 cash prize. That sounds like fun to us. Get more information on their website at www.maytroutclassic.com.
This is just a sampling of the great fun coming up in Big Bear during May. Call us at 310-780-3411 to book your getaway. You can view all of our Big Bear vacation rental cabins on this link.

Meet Five Star Vacation Rentals' Newest Luxury Big Bear Cabin
Posted on 03/22/2013 in Luxury Big Bear Cabins.
We’re very pleased to announce the newest addition to our Five Star Vacation Rental lineup of luxury estates. No. 44 Dreamscape Villa is nestled in the forest in the Moonridge area of Big Bear. It offers tree-top views and is very close to many of our favorite Big Bear attractions like Ski Slopes, Big Bear Snow Play, and the lake.
This cabin is pure delight and luxury crafted at the hands of Bob Dixon. Bob has been building distinctive properties for nearly 40 years and some of Big Bear’s most desirable cabins started on the drafting tables at Dixon Construction. You’ll be delighted with the attention to detail as you relax in the log-themed decor and marvel at the majestic views from the deck.
We’ve filled the house with great diversions including a Foosball table, and a new Sony LED TV. As the evening gets late, you will likely find yourself in front of the custom fireplace while you fix some steamy hot chocolate in the modern gourmet kitchen. Be sure to spend a little while in the warm relaxation of the spa before you head off to bed.
Come morning, you’ll be back in the kitchen to cook up a perfect breakfast for the entire family. One of you should sneak out early so the rest of the family can wake up to the wonderful smell of fresh coffee brewing. We keep the kitchen stocked with all the cookware and utensils you’ll need to make anything from a simple omelet to a gourmet quiche.
After your first night, you’ll be faced with the dilemma that confronts most of our guests. The cabin is so cozy and luxurious, you’ll consider just staying in for the entire day to drink in the wonderful architecture and amenities. But Big Bear is full of fun things to do outside, and that’s likely why you choose to come in the first place. We’ll leave it to you to resolve this dilemma as you wish. But inside the cabin, or outside in wonderful Big Bear, you and your family will surely have a vacation to remember.
You can view more details about our new Dreamscape Villa at this link. If you’re planning your winter getaway somewhere other than one of our luxury Big Bear cabins, we can help as well in the following areas: Park City, Utah, Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, Mammoth Mountain, and Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. At Five Star Vacation Rentals we realize that your time away on vacation is important, and we treat it that way. We are constantly working to ensure that your stay in one of our luxury rentals is an experience you’ll always remember fondly and want to repeat often.

A Few Reasons to Choose a Five Star Vacation Rental
Posted on 03/15/2013 in FiveStarVacationRental.com News and Updates.
If you’re reading our blog, chances are you’re considering an upcoming vacation or getaway. Planning for your getaway is one of the most exciting parts of the process. You’re likely shopping destinations and looking up different attractions in various locations. It’s really quite a bit of fun. We understand you have a lot of choices in this process, and we’re glad you’re taking time to look at our properties. We’d like to offer a few good reasons why you should consider renting one of our luxury homes instead of any other options.
Plan Your Amazing Wedding
Summer is coming up, and it’s the traditional time for many weddings. There are so many things to plan, and we’ll be glad to help. Choosing a vacation rental home can make a special day spectacular. Weddings are a time for families to join together, and choosing one of our large luxury rentals can make for a relaxing time with extended family. You’ll have family coming in from out of town, and choosing one of our vacation rentals is a far better option than sleeping bags and rollaway beds. Our Southern California Beach homes are popular destinations for wedding parties, but we also host many in our Big Bear luxury estate cabins as well. Here’s a link to one of our earlier blogs based upon a letter we received from a bride who hosted her entire wedding party at our luxurious Laguna Beach home.
A Much Better Family Getaway
Staying in one of our luxurious vacation rentals can dramatically improve the quality of your next vacation. Most of us can remember at least one family vacation where we all suffered through with dad’s snoring or Johnny’s talking in his sleep. We’d roll out of bed excited about the vacation, but too often fatigued from lack of sleep. Can you imagine replaying any of those vacations with each of you in your own room, and waking up in the amazing luxury of one of our vacation rentals? It’s an entirely different picture, and one that will be much more fun for the entire family.
A Perfect Getaway For Your Group
It’s always seemed kind of strange to us that many people plan a getaway with friends, and one of the first things they do is check into separate rooms at their destination. Is this really the best way to spend time with friends? But consider renting one of our luxury estate rentals, and you’ll have an entirely different picture. You can sit up til late at night talking around a crackling fireplace, and have no worries about driving anywhere when you finally head to bed. And the morning will repeat the same closeness. Instead of rallying the troops and piling into the cars to find food, you can all just make your way to the kitchen and continue last night’s conversations. If you’re planning a getaway to spend more time with your friends, be sure to choose the option that will actually provide it for you.
Romantic Destination
Planning a stay in one of our amazing luxury homes can be a time for renewing your relationship. Away from the daily grind, you’ll find yourselves much more relaxed. And our homes only serve to increase your relaxation. Choose one of our homes with a spa, and you’ll soon find yourselves immersed in feelings of well being. Plan your stay around the anniversary of your first date, engagement, wedding, or the day you met. Whatever you choose, it will be a time to refresh your intimacy and grow even closer together.
Whatever may be the reason for your next getaway, you’ll have the confidence of knowing that we’re working hard to maintain the highest quality vacation destinations you can find anywhere. We realize that you put a lot of time and effort into planning your getaway, and we’re confident that your stay with us will be a great memory for everyone in your party. Call us at 310-800-5454 and we’ll be glad to help you with your plans. You can also browse our properties in Big Bear, Mammoth, Park City , Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, or Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.
What Are You Planning For Your Summer Vacation?
Posted on 03/08/2013 in Luxury Big Bear Cabins.
We know there’s still snow on the ground at our ski destinations (Like Big Bear, Mammoth, and Park City), but summer has been spotted on the horizon slowly making its way toward us. And we are firm believers in planning ahead to make sure you can squeeze every last drop of enjoyment out of your vacation time.
Summer is one of our favorite times of the year around here. We get calls from all over with people excited over their summer plans. For many families, they’ve been planning for months to make sure they get everything as close to perfect as possible. We love being a part of this planning process, and gladly work to find the best fit for your vacation wishes.
We’ve found over the years that many families who have suffered through bad vacations in the past are prone to making much more detailed plans for future getaways. This only make sense. The fewer elements you leave to chance, the more likely you are to get the outcome you hope for. This is where we excel. We’ve suffered through some bad stops along the way ourselves. Don’t get us started about that little motel in Barstow we landed at late one night! And we’ve had some fun in past blogs looking at the pitfalls you may encounter by planning a vacation anywhere but with us. You can read those blogs here and here.
You can include us in your vacation planning with confidence knowing that we’re dedicated to helping you build a vacation that will be as hassel-free and fun as possible. Browse our site, and you’ll see the many testimonials from our guests. We’ve collected a handful of them in one of our past blogs here.
Call us at 310-780-3411 to book your vacation getaway now. Browse all of our Big Bear vacation rental cabins on this page. If you’re planning a vacation somewhere other than one of our luxury Big Bear Cabins, please be sure to look at our vacation rentals in Park City,Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, Mammoth Mountain, and Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. Regardless of where you may go, you’ll have the confidence of knowing that Five Star Vacation Rentals is working to make your vacation relaxing and memorable.
Ski Conditions Are Excellent. Book Your Getaway.
Posted on 03/01/2013 in FiveStarVacationRental.com News and Updates.
We’re at the height of the ski season and it’s a great time to book your getaway. We’ve got luxury rentals available in Big Bear, Mammoth Mountain, and Park City. Here are the local reports:
Big Bear is our most popular winter getaway spot. We’ve got more than 40 luxury vacation rental cabins available, and two of the best snow resorts that can be found anywhere. And our cabins range from cozy romantic getaways, to rambling log estates suitable for large groups and family get togethers. Both Bear Mountain and Snow Summit offer great skiing for all skill levels. This is a great time to introduce your kids to the thrill of skiing. Teach them yourselves, or take advantage of lessons offered to all age groups in both individual and group classes. Click here for more information.
Mammoth Mountain is one of California’s most popular ski resorts. One of the great features of Mammoth is the host of other fun things to do while there. You can indulge in some of the most amazing fine dining to be found anywhere in California. But this time of year, it’s likely the skiing that’ll pull you in. Mammoth has runs that are suitable for all skill levels, so it’s perfect for the entire family. View our Mammoth Mountain vacation rentals at this link, or call us at 310-780-3411. We’ll help you put together an amazing getaway.
Park City is known to many people as the annual host city for the glamorous Sundance Film Festival, but the nearby skiing is legendary this time of year. Downtown Park City offers amazing shops and restaurants when you’re not on the slopes. We personally feel the Winter Comet Bobsled ride down the Olympic track should be on everybody’s bucket list. Go over 80 miles and hour and pull 4 G’s with this ride. Not for the feint of heart! Call us at 310-780-3411, and we’ll book your getaway.
Planning a trip to one of our warmer destinations? Try one of our luxury vacation rentals in Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, or Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. Regardless of where you may go, you’ll have the confidence of knowing that Five Star Vacation Rentals is working to make your vacation relaxing and memorable. We know that your vacation time is very special.
