Many of us woke up this morning with a few extra relatives in town with some of them under our roofs. We also greeted the day with the faint aroma of yesterday’s turkey feast still lingering around the kitchen. And whether or not you’re one of those who runs out to find the great sales this weekend, one thing is for certain: Thanksgiving is behind us, and we’re on that fast track to Christmas and Hanukkah. It’s a fun time, but it’s also a time when many families feel extra stress over the commitments and expectations that usually come with the season. This year you can leave the stress behind by and plan the perfect Christmas in Big Bear.

Posted on 11/18/2016 in FiveStarVacationRental.com News and Updates.

Big Bear is a year-round destination, but winter is when the fun gets hip deep. Literally. And we’re just one short week away from the start of ski season. There’s no better way to work off your Thanksgiving dinner than spending Friday on the slopes. You’ll have to hurry, though.

If you’re not able to join us over the holiday weekend, this is a great time to nail down your plans and book your ski getaway in Big Bear for another time.

Top that off with some relaxation in front of the fireplace with our friends and family, and you’ll soon see why the toughest part of any Five Star Vacation Rental getaway is that morning you need to pack up and return home.

You have a few great options for enjoying your family meal on Thanksgiving. Several local markets offer a full turkey or ham dinner with all the fixins if you just want to relax and enjoy your time away. If you’re bringing the family gourmet along for your stay, all of our cabins have full kitchens, so you can cook right at your vacation home to combine those yummy aromas with your family and friends.

Whichever one you choose, you’ll have the backdrop of your Five Star Vacation Rental to enjoy the meal with your loved ones as you relax and watch some parades and football.
If you want to work off some of those calories in advance, the 4th annual Big Bear Turkey Trot takes off at 9AM Thanksgiving morning. It’s a crazy event where you can run from 3-9 miles, dress like a turkey, and work up a real appetite for your feast a bit later on.
