Plan the Perfect Summer Getaway to Big Bear

School is winding down in most areas, and most families are looking forward to the summer. It’s an exciting time, and you have lots of options.  We are pleased to offer some of the best vacation destinations anywhere on the planet, and we’ll be happy to help you put together a vacation that will have something fun to do for everyone in your family.

Big Bear is our most popular destination and offers a wealth of fun and relaxing activities.

The golfers in your family will enjoy the 9-hole mountain-style course at Bear Mountain. With an elevation of 7000 feet, you’ll feel like a pro watching your drives fly farther than you can imagine.  But the beauty of the course is reason enough to play a round or two.

Grab your bikes or rent them when you arrive for some of the best trail riding to be found anywhere.  In addition to all the old favorite Forest Service Fire trails on the back and sides of Snow Summit, there’s a new advanced trail called the Miracle Mile Trail opening soon. It zig zags down the ski run in and out of the trees. This trail is for advanced riders only and will feature 34+ berms, 6 rollers, 10 jumps and 4 wood features including a 30 foot bridge, diving board, and a big 45 degree wooden berm!  For more details, visit their website at http://www.bigbearmountainresorts.com/summer/index.php.

Grab your rods and reels!  It’s fishing season in Big Bear. The lake was stocked with fish twice during May, so your fresh dinner may be waiting for you to come and pick it up.  For all you trout fans out there, recent reports are that many anglers are reaching their limit.  Here’s a full fishing report: http://www.fishhound.com/fishing-reports/big-bear-lake-ca

As always, hikers have nearly limitless opportunities to enjoy the beauty of Big Bear.  Many of our properties are adjacent to scenic hiking trails, and none of them is very far from great hiking.

And these are just a handful of examples. Big Bear Village is full of great shops with quirky gifts and momentos.  And of course there’s the part that excites us most:  our amazing luxury estate rentals.

And if you’re planning a getaway somewhere else, be sure to check out our other properties in  Park City, UtahPalm Springs/La Quinta Southern California Beaches Mammoth Mountain, and Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.  At Five Star Vacation Rentals, we’re dedicated to helping you create a great vacation.  We realize your vacation time is very valuable, and our goal is to make sure you enjoy it to the fullest.
