Hurry. There's Snow in Big Bear

Posted on 01/28/2017 in Big Bear Vacation Rental.

SnowBoarder We see it just about every year. March rolls around, and we start seeing the snowpack in Big Bear fade away. We also start getting calls from people who delayed their ski trips. Sadly, some delay too long, and another year goes by without some quality time racing down the slopes. You can be sure this doesn’t happen to you if you’ll just take a few minutes now to carve out your slice of winter in Big Bear.

We’re already seeing an increase in our snow bookings. And with the arrival of big new storms during the past weeks, we’re sure to see the trend increase. In case you’ve forgotten all the snow fun that awaits, let’s take a moment to review:

Bear Mountain and Snow Summit are southern California’s premiere downhill ski destinations. The storms this season have contributed to conditions that many only dream about. A huge base helps keep the runs pristine longer. Temps are dropping below freezing most nights, so the massive snow making machines are supplementing the slopes with fresh powder most nights. It’s a great time to visit.

While we’re often inclined to enjoy winter in Big Bear from the comforting warmth of a hot tub or by the crackling fireplace in one of our luxurious vacation rentals, there are some additional fun things to do in Big Bear.

Big Bear Snow Play offers downhill inner tubing with a delightful twist. They have a “magic carpet” that takes you effortlessly from the bottom of the run back to the top. It’s a great feature. It’s pretty much all play and no work. Enjoy a thrilling ride down one of southern California’s longest downhill inner tube runs, and then relax on the magic carpet ride back up the hill to do it again. Sign us up!

Big Bear Alpine Slide is another favorite. Experience the fun of a luge run down the hill. You’ll navigate one of the twisting banked concrete runs in your sled as you race to the finish. This could be how future Olympians are born.

Check out all our Big Bear vacation rentals at this link, and if you’re in the mood for a getaway elsewhere check out our vacation 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 allows you to 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.

Skier That muffled sound of delight you hear is the gleeful anticipation of avid skiers reading the Big Bear snow report. New snow has fallen, and there’s a great layer of fresh powder just waiting for your skis to meet it. The weather is cooperating with us well, and the conditions may be at their peak for the season. This is a great time to plan your Big Bear ski getaway.

If you can get time off work, weekdays are your best option. We usually have more properties available for your Five Star Vacation Rental during the week, and the slopes are a bit less crowded as well. But both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are well prepared for your visit regardless of when you can getaway.

If skiing is your passion, we’re here to help you enjoy it even more. There’s really nothing that tops a great day of skiing like relaxing in the luxury of a Five Star Vacation Rental. Choose one of our properties with a hot tub, and you’ll have the perfect way to relax and work out any soreness from your time on the slopes.

FriendsOnPorch It’s also a great opportunity to put together a quick getaway for your extended family, church group, or a group of coworkers. Many of our properties can accommodate a dozen or more guests, so with almost no advance planning, you can all head up the mountain and enjoy a memorable time on the slopes, and some great time together in front of the fireplace or relaxing in the hot tub.

Be sure to check the road conditions in advance, and make plans if chains are required. There are a few ways to get up the mountain, and you can use this link to check road conditions:

Planning a Great Valentine's Getaway

Posted on 01/13/2017 in Valentine's Day Ideas.

WomanHoldingHeart Most of us have barely finished putting away the Christmas decorations, and we’re already watching the new year unfold before us. Life comes at you fast, and a little bit of advanced planning can make a huge difference. Valentine’s Day is just a month away, and this is the perfect time to start planning for a very special treat for you and your sweetie.

Valentine’s Day in Big Bear is a great experience. The excitement over flowers and candy is multiplied when you give her those shortly after you arrive at your luxury vacation rental. Imagine cooking up her favorite meal in the full kitchen and then relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the fireplace later. It’s a recipe for recharging your relationship. Bundle up and take romantic walk through the forest outside, or just queue up an old romantic movie to watch as you pass the time. The options are nearly endless, and all of them will be more memorable and enjoyable when you experience them while you’re relaxing in the luxury of a Five Star Vacation rental.

Holding Hands

Time in Big Bear can be a very romantic. Big Bear Village has some great restaurants and unique boutique shopping opportunities. Plan a quiet dinner with a slow walk through the Village, and you’ll find yourself relaxing in the cool evening air. And with the cold air, you’ll find romance as well.

New Year's Resolutions

Posted on 01/07/2017 in Big Bear Vacation Rental.

We’re a week into the new year, and we’re already starting to formulate plans to drop, ignore, and deny the more stringent resolutions we made with such earnest devotion this time last week. But we’re not worried about it. There’s always next year.

There are, however, a handful of resolutions that we will continue to hold close, and we’re recommending that you do likewise. Here goes:

Spend more time enjoying your family. This one is the easiest. Work is important; hobbies are important, but nothing is more important than family. With our simple online booking and calendars, you can decide at a moment’s notice to plan a getaway. Browse our properties, see what dates are available, get pricing, and even pay online. You can gather the family around your laptop after dinner and before Wheel of Fortune is over you can plan out your entire getaway.

Celebrate important moments in your life. This is a really fun one and probably too attractive to qualify for an actual resolution. But we’ll include it anyway. In the year ahead your family will see weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, and holidays. We always have some sort of celebration to mark these events, and few things will create a fonder memory than spending your special event in a luxury Five Star Vacation Rental. And with us you can plan big. We have several properties that are adjacent to each other accommodating up to 26 guests.

Just plan some down time. There’s no escaping it. Life can be stressful. There are few things that can ease your stress quicker than soaking in the luxury of a Five Star Vacation rental. Choose one of our properties with a hot tub, and you can literally soak away your stress. Dry off, and get comfy in front of the fireplace for the therapy to continue. Each of our properties has a full kitchen, so you can stock up on all your comfort foods to round out the experience. Get caught up on your sleep, recharge your batteries, shut off your phone, and enjoy some real relaxation.
