When Was the Last Time You Took a Walk In the Woods?
Posted on 08/26/2016 in Big Bear Vacation Rental.
The kids have been back in school for several weeks now, and maybe things are settling into the usual routine around your house. It’s an amazing exercise in logistics, but you’ve managed to work out scheduling for soccer, baseball, piano lessons and some family time as well. But if your family is like so many others, the grind of this schedule can wear your edges thin a bit. Even though you have everything handled, there are moments when you begin to feel you’re the one being handled by a demanding schedule with no time to just relax.
We understand, and we’re here to help.
With a schedule that’s constantly tugging at you, sometimes the best way to relax is to push it into the schedule. It seems a bit odd to put a block of time dedicated to relaxation on your schedule, but it’s important that you make time for it. If it helps you prioritize it, think of it as some regularly scheduled maintenance. We recognize our vehicles need down time dedicated to keeping them running at optimum levels, so how much more do you and your family need this?
There are few things you can find that will provide you the level of relaxation you’ll find with a Five Star Vacation Rental. Choose one of our Big Bear cabins, and you’ll be just a few steps away from the tranquil serenity of the forest. You can leave after work on Friday, and within a few hours the family will be soaking in the amazing luxury of one of our Big Bear vacation rentals. Head out before dinner for a short hike, and you’ll soon find yourselves talking in hushed tones as your listen to the different bird songs and watch for little animals scampering along the floor of the forest. Just a few hours ago, the closest thing to a forest you had was that No. 2 pencil on your desk. Now you’re all delighting in the crisp clean smell of the forest as you listen to the gentle breeze rustle through the trees. Take a deep breath and just feel all the stress and anxiety start to melt away.
We also have some other great opportunities for relaxation at our other destinations as well. We also maintain rentals in Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. No matter what city you are visiting, staying in a Five Star Vacation Rental property will ensure that you experience the absolute best in luxury accommodations. We would be glad to help you plan your getaway to Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.
There's Just Too Much September
Posted on 08/19/2016 in Southern California Five Star Vacation Rentals.
Honestly, we’re poring over the upcoming events in Big Bear for September, and we realize we’re going to need to start offering a monthly rate for our vacation rentals here. We certainly encourage you to give it a try, but we’re convinced there’s just too much going on to cram into a quick weekend getaway or even a longer stay during the week. Check out these options.
Oktoberfest makes its annual “why-wait-for-October?” arrival on September 10th this year. Feel free to call it “Septemberfest” if you must. The fun will the same regardless. It runs weekends until the end of October.
If you’ve never been to Oktoberfest, you’ve been missing out. In addition to one of the most amazing collections of international brews found anywhere, the entire family will find lots of fun and activities. Yep, last week you couldn’t even spell “lederhosen,” and now you own a pair. Nice knees. There’s plenty of Bavarian music to get your feet moving, and the kids will love all the activities set up just for them. Sundays are family day. Kids get in free, and the’ll enjoy a bounce house, face painting, balloons, and carnival games.
September 10th will see the arrival of the hugely popular Young Eagles program at the Big Bear airport. This event is intended to acquaint kids with the thrill of civilian aviation. Aimed at kids ages 8-17, it offers many their first free flight in a private airplane. The pilots will spend time with participants explaining the different parts of the aircraft to teach them the basics of flight and how the planes work. The free flight that follows is the essence of excitement. This is something every parent should do for their kids. And it’s free. This takes place on the second Saturday of each month through September. More info on their website: www.youngeagles.org
Weekends at the Big Bear Discovery Center are a big hit with our guests. You can join them for nature walks and learn some of the little-known history of Big Bear and its inhabitants. The trail guides will also provide fascinating information about the plant and animal life that surrounds you. Visit their website for more details.
Of course all of these activities take on a special significance when you have a luxury Five Star Vacation Rental cabin to head back to after you’ve had your fun. Cook up a big family meal in your gourmet kitchen or just assemble the family in the hot tub for a relaxing evening after your full day. A Five Star Vacation Rental will be the difference between, “that was fun” and “we’ve GOT to do that again!”

Why Choose Five Star Vacation Rentals?
Posted on 08/12/2016 in Luxury Big Bear Cabins.
Every week we take an opportunity here to cover some interesting event or activity at one of our destinations. It’s easy to understand why. Our guests are an active bunch, and they tend to hit the ground running when they arrive for their Five Star getaway. And our properties are located in some of the most amazing destinations.
You have a lot of things to consider when you plan your next vacation or weekend getaway, and big part of that decision is the place you’ll stay once you arrive. Though you may sleep less on vacation, you’ll definitely want to make sure you have a comfortable bed waiting for you when you’re ready to catch a few winks. We are unlike virtually every other option out there.
Hotels are a common choice for many travelers, but there are definite drawbacks. Even the best hotel can take on the feeling of a college dorm if you just happen to book your stay at the wrong time. Common hallways are often filled with uncommon noises at all hours. It only takes one rude guest to rouse an entire floor of sleeping vacationers. We all have stories along those lines, don’t we?
In addition to the roulette of noisy neighbors, hotels also require more time and planning to do even the most simple things you do at home. With some rare exceptions, you cannot simply roll out of a hotel bed and make yourself a yummy omelette, some toast, coffee, and orange juice in the morning. Even hotels that offer a breakfast service would prefer that you don’t show up in your pajamas and slippers for the meal. Greeting the morning with the requirement that you get dressed and share the time with complete strangers is a major detraction from the enjoyment.
This is where a vacation rental makes a huge difference. It literally becomes your home away from home. It has all the convenience of home, but you’re magically transported to a destination that offers more fun and relaxation than home.
Five Star Vacation Rentals takes this concept light years beyond and lets you experience your vacation in a manner that is typically reserved only for the extremely wealthy. We have assembled top-notch luxury properties in some of the West’s most desirous locations. These properties offer craftsmanship and luxury furnishings that are intended to amaze our guests. And that’s the typical reaction we get. For the duration of your stay with us, you’ll experience a level of quality surroundings that are difficult to duplicate. Beyond the luxury and fine craftsmanship around you, you’ll get to spend more time with fewer distractions simply enjoying yourself with your loved ones during your time away. And isn’t that what you’ll appreciate most?
Want to experience this amazing quality for yourself? We maintain luxury rentals in Big Bear, Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. No matter what city you are visiting, staying in a Five Star Vacation Rental property will ensure that you experience the absolute best in luxury accommodations. We would be glad to help you plan your vacation to Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.
Labor Day in Big Bear
Posted on 08/05/2016 in Big Bear Vacation Rental.
Summer’s last hurrah is rapidly approaching. Have you taken your family on vacation yet? If not, there’s still time to plan something. Labor day in Big Bear is a great time, and there are plenty of activities to keep the entire family happily occupied during your stay. Labor Day falls on Monday, September 5th this year, and we’ve still got some luxury cabins available.
The anglers in your group can enjoy some of the best fishing in all of Southern California at Big Bear Lake. Trout and bass are plentiful, and will make a perfect meal prepared in the kitchen of your Five Star Vacation Rental cabin. There’s really nothing quite as tasty as a meal prepared with freshly-caught fish from the lake.
Time spent on the lake can be a deeply relaxing time. Take advantage of one of the boat rental facilities on the lake, or bring your own. Some of our properties have docks right on the lake, so you can go right from your vacation rental to the lake without any travel time at all. And whether your time on the lake is spent lazily floating along while you read a good book or enjoying some great fishing, this will be a time for you to relax and recharge your batteries. If this sounds like the vacation you’d like to plan, our staff can help you locate the perfect getaway.
Labor Day weekend marks the Inaugural Big Bear Kids Adventure Games. This is going to be great fun. Two-kid teams will navigate an obstacle course designed to thrill. They’ll face a variety of elements including mountain biking, hiking, zip-lines, a Tarzan rope swing, giant Slip-n-Slide, river tubing, cargo nets, mud pits and more. This is guaranteed to be an event all the participants will long remember. Registration is open to kids aged 6-14, and there are a limited number of spots available. Get more information at their website: http://www.kidsadventuregames.com/ and register online at this link: https://kidsadventuregames.redpodium.com/big-bear-kag-2016
