Summer Events and Great Family Getaways
Posted on 05/30/2014 in Southern California Five Star Vacation Rentals.
The official opening of summer is just days away, and we’re devoting this week’s blog to giving you more reasons to book your family reunion or getaway with us. Summer is the traditional time for families to gather, and there really isn’t a better way to enjoy the family than in one of our great Five Star Vacation Rentals. Let’s plant a few seeds here and why don’t you see how you can make these grow?
If you’ll recall the last family reunion, Uncle Jerome was assigned to sleep on the couch. This would be fine with most other relatives, but we must remember that Uncle Jerome is really not like your other relatives. His bedtime is 8PM sharp, so he chases everyone out of the living room. He takes command of the sofa and falls asleep quickly. His snoring commences within minutes. And that’s when everyone remembers that Uncle Jerome’s snoring is simply epic. Those trying to sleep in adjacent rooms endure a sleepless night. Thankfully, you’ve prepared your home for earthquakes, so there’s a relatively small amount of property damage. But what if you could make this year’s reunion entirely different?
Well, we have just the solution. Rub the sleep out of your eyes, and imagine this year’s reunion entirely differently. This year, you’ll be renting one of our luxurious Five Star Vacation Rentals. One of our larger estate properties will have enough bedrooms and beds for each and every family member. Uncle Jerome’s snoring remains epic, but it is muted behind the door of his oversize room. When you get up for your midnight snack, it’ll sound like a muted, distant roar as you tiptoe past his room. Nobody will lose any sleep, and our vacation rentals can withstand the shaking.
Another wonderful part of renting from us is the great choices you have for your destination. Big Bear is our most popular getaway. The weather can be sweltering in Los Angeles or Orange County, but most of the summer in Big Bear is cool with crisp mountain breezes. Everyone in the family will have something fun to do. You can go boating on the lake, cycling through town, or hiking in the hills. But your favorite activity may be just hanging out at your amazing Five Star Vacation rental estate. You’ll drink in the luxury of your surroundings both inside and outside during your stay. Check out all our Big Bear properties at this link.

Planning the Perfect 4th of July In Big Bear
Posted on 05/23/2014 in Park City Five Star Vacation Rentals.
School is almost out, and if your household is like ours there’s already been lots of talk about what to do this summer. And at our house, there’s always a tug to go in different directions. Some want theme parks; some want the beach. We’ve also got our “Road Trip Faction” that argues every year for driving as far as we can for half the summer and then turning around and driving back. Like that’s going to happen. But every year, we can all agree on one thing: Let’s plan to see the best fireworks on 4th of July! Now this is something that our Five Star Vacation Rental family is expert at.
July 4th at Big Bear Lake is the sort of thing that many families do over and over again every year and with good reason. The Big Bear Rotary Club makes sure they keep the display as one of the best you can see anywhere in the western United States. The show lasts about 30 full minutes and the explosions take place about a mile above the glimmering surface of the lake. It’s an event to remember as the dazzling lights in the sky are reflected in the waters of the lake. If you’d like to enjoy some great food and the best seats for watching the fireworks, the Kiwanis also have an annual barbecue with great hot dogs, burgers and steaks to enjoy. They’re also offering packages that include VIP seating that will have you squealing with delight as you watch the colorful explosions in the cool night air. For more info on the Kiwani’s Barbecue and seating, visit their site at this link.
If you needed any further reason to get away this weekend, there’s also the great Big Bear climate to enjoy. July in Southern California can be, well, stifling at times. But that’s never a problem in Big Bear. July is the warmest month of the year here, but the average July temperature is just shy of 65°. As temperatures go, this is one we can all live with. And you will really be living when you spend the holiday in your Five Star Vacation Rental cabin or estate. Imagine the great fun your family will have as you spend the long holiday weekend tucked away in your luxury vacation rental. Many of our cabins have hot tubs, so you can spend the evening relaxing with a cool drink.
We usually sell out in advance, so be sure to book your cabin early. View all of our Big Bear vacation rentals at this link. Please also check out our luxury vacation rentals in Park City, Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, Mammoth Mountain, and Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

For avid fishermen, there’s nothing quite like the thrill you feel with you get those first few tenuous taps on the end of your line. The adrenaline starts pumping, and you wait anxiously for the follow up pull indicating you’ve got one on the line.

And that’s exactly the thrill that awaits you in Big Bear at the 50K Trout Derby the weekend of June 7th and 8th. In addition to the grand prize there are other cash and merchandise prizes being handed out as well. It’s going to be great fun, and you should plan to be here.
