Doing Nothing in Big Bear

Many people avoid taking vacations because they dread the planning, coordination and hassle the entire thing entails. Maybe you’re one of these people, and who can blame you? Vacations can end up being more of an obligation than an enjoyable getaway, but Five Star Vacation Rentals has set out to change that. A trip can be the stress-free respite it was intended to be. Perhaps the key to a true vacation is eliminating the pressure. Imagine if somebody gave you permission to escape, spend some time in a luxurious home-away-from-home, do whatever relaxes you, and remove all other obligations…

You can give yourself that permission. Instead of planning a vacation centered on an itinerary of activities and events, consider booking a do-nothing-vacation. Booking a luxury vacation home offers a vacation in and of itself. With amenities such as a spa, gourmet kitchen, and fireplace, there’s no reason to leave your rental at all! Staying in and spending time simply relaxing might just be the best vacation you’ve ever had. Vacation, after all, is about escaping stress and obligations. If you don’t believe us, consider the following ideas for your stay-in-getaway.

When’s the last time you settled in to a good book? Reading is a pastime many people enjoy, but most don’t get the opportunity to do it often. With all of life’s time-consuming activities, simply relaxing with a book in hand is something you may not have done in quite a while. Booking a do-nothing vacation is the chance to catch up on reading. Maybe you love cooking, too, but don’t get the chance to make gourmet meals as often as you’d like. Arrive at your rental with ingredients in tow, and you can spend a weekend creating ambrosia.

A Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear is the best destination for luxury vacation rentals. You may be perplexed at the idea of spending an entire vacation inside, but you won’t be when you see our rentals. All of our properties offer the most exquisite luxury, including features such as gourmet kitchens and spas. You will have no problem at all relaxing in one of our beautiful vacation homes, and spending your entire vacation there might be the stress relief you’ve been looking for.

Big Bear is one of the best places to relax and take it easy. Five Star Vacation Rental also offers luxury accommodations 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 vacation to Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.

Building the Best Summer Vacation

We all know how quickly time flies when you’re having fun. If you have kids, you know that it doesn’t fly when you’re waiting to have fun. Summer vacation might be the single most important part of a kid’s life, and that puts a lot of pressure on a parent to deliver, lest it turn into a bummer of a summer. Maybe this year you should accept the challenge and endeavor to make it the best summer ever. You have the power to do it, and if you play your cards right, you can make memories that last a lifetime.

Once you’ve decided to accept the mission, where do you start? Planning a vacation isn’t easy, especially when you’re under pressure to make it the best summer vacation of all time. As with most things, however, you can lessen the burden if you start planning in advance. Creating an agenda and working on it gradually will help you reduce stress, save money, and, ultimately, pull off your plan. You might want to start planning a few months before summer break, so that you can have arrangements in place before you break the news to the kiddos.

The first item on your agenda will likely be deciding where you’d like to go. This might seem like an easy one, but hey, there are a lot of enticing places and choosing can be difficult! If you’re planning a fun time for the whole family, finding a place where everybody can enjoy themselves is key. Five Star Vacation Rentals offers a group of luxury rentals throughout Southern California and Mexico, so any place you can book a Five Star accommodation is a great place to go.

It can be tough to choose. Big Bear and Nuevo Vallarta are two of our top destinations. Big Bear offers outdoor activities and natural beauty that parents and kids will both appreciate. Snow covers the area throughout the colder seasons, but in summer the weather is warmer. Puerto Vallarta, on the other hand, is an exotic destination that features beautiful beaches and fantastic entertainment. In the summer, the warm white sand and cool ocean invite visitors to flock and enjoy the scenery.

Choosing where to vacation isn’t easy, but choosing Five Star Vacation Rental is. Big Bear is our most popular destination, but you can also enjoy some quality time in our other great luxury vacation rentals: Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. With Five Star Vacation Rentals, you can be assured that your vacation time will be a time of true relaxation and enjoyment for your family. We recognize that most families today get precious little vacation time, and we work hard to help make sure your time away will be memorable and meaningful. Our staff is ready to answer your questions and help you put together a great vacation. Give us a call 310-780-3411.

Invest Your Tax Return in a Big Bear Getaway

Are you, like countless other people, counting on getting a tax return this season? If so, it’s proof that you’ve worked hard and long the past year. A famous philosopher once said that all work and no play is a really bad idea, so why don’t you take the extra funds from your tax return and book a weekend getaway in Big Bear? Whether you envision a family trip or some time for the grown-ups, Big Bear has all the activities you can imagine, and Five Star Vacation Rental can supply the luxurious cabin to make your getaway complete.

Taking a vacation can alleviate all of the stress you didn’t even know you had. A 9 to 5 job or even a less traditional schedule can place a burden on you that will eventually begin to wear you down. People who truly love their jobs still need to take time off, and you’re no different. Putting your tax return towards a vacation rental in Big Bear may be one of the best investments you make. So if your trip is for relaxation, what exactly does the town have to offer?

That depends on your definition of relaxing. If you’re a naturophile, Big Bear’s lush forests, hiking trails, and scenic lake will be enough to draw you in and clear your mind. You can walk out the front door of your vacation rental and take in the beauty that surrounds you. If you’re more relaxed by the idea of pampering, though, Big Bear offers a number of luxury spas where you can unwind, get a massage, and indulge in other treatments that will melt your stress away. Perhaps the most effective luxury to invest in, however, is a premium vacation rental. No matter what you do during your trip, retiring to a cabin with all of the amenities and luxuries you need will truly make your trip unforgettable.

Big Bear is ta fantastic destination if you’re seeking relaxation and a quick getaway, but Five Star Vacation Rental also serves locales such as Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. We provide the same level of luxury in all of our accommodations, and we aim to make clients feel relaxed when they rent one of our properties. If you are ready to plan a getaway to Big Bear, or any of the other areas we serve, you can call 310-780-3411 to speak with our staff.

Don’t Rent a Hotel When You Can Stay in Style

Different people have different standards when traveling. Some people will prioritize finding the most affordable accommodations, while others will demand the most exquisite luxury. What if the most luxurious accommodations were also the best value? Well, folks, it isn’t too good to be true. Allow us to present the following reasons why choosing a vacation rental might, in fact, be a better bang for your buck. Not to mention, a better experience and a better place to make memories.

The differences between a hotel room and a vacation rental are plentiful. While a hotel may place you in a cramped room within close proximity to loud neighbors, a vacation rental gives you all of the space and privacy you could ever crave. You need not worry about crying babies or any other late-night sounds drifting over from adjacent rooms. Instead, you can relax and rest freely in a space that’s entirely yours.

Unless, of course, you decide to share it! A vacation rental is the ideal way to share a vacation with your family or with other travelers. Unlike other accommodations, a rental gives you the ability to welcome guests as you please. Parking is also no longer an issue. While a hotel might charge you to park, the area surrounding your rental is also free game for your use, so you and any guests joining you can park without worry. Eliminating the potential charge of parking can result in substantial savings.

You can also save by utilizing the gourmet kitchen in your vacation rental and cooking meals instead of eating out. While sampling local food is, of course, part of your trip, you can make memories cooking with professional-grade amenities. This can save you the cost of several meals and make your vacation even more special. If the goal of your trip is to relax and escape, you deserve a space in which you can do so. A vacation rental from Five Star Vacation Rental offers features and luxury that beat what any hotel might offer as well as an experience that is truly invaluable.

While Big Bear is our most popular destination, you can also enjoy some quality time in our other great luxury vacation rentals: Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. With Five Star Vacation Rentals, you can be assured that your vacation time will be a time of true relaxation and enjoyment for your family. We recognize that most families today get precious little vacation time, and we work hard to help make sure your time away will be memorable and meaningful. Our staff is ready to answer your questions and help you put together a great vacation. Give us a call 310-780-3411.

The Joys of Spring Break in Big Bear

Nothing inspires enthusiasm in a kid’s heart quite like the promise of a break from school. Spring break is second only to summer in its ability to give a student the courage and perseverance needed to carry through weeks and weeks of school work. Spring break is coming up, in fact, and you’ve likely been fielding questions from kids about what activities are planned. Your kids don’t have to be the only ones getting a break, though. You can plan a getaway for the entire family that will refresh, rejuvenate, and reunite you all. A luxury cabin in Big Bear is the destination for all the Spring Break fun a family can handle.

As we’ve mentioned, March is a perfect time of year to visit Big Bear for many reasons. Though the landscapes in the town are always beautiful, there’s an ethereal charm that comes as seasons transition, and it’s an optimal time to embark on activities like a nature walk. You can wander through the mountainous forests to watch birds and squirrels. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of some larger wildlife, or spy on the deer that often frolic among the trees. Sights like this are a welcome break from the monotony of school, but they can still provide valuable learning opportunities.

If kids want to get even more up-close-and-personal with animals, horseback riding in Big Bear is the perfect chance to do so. Baldwin Lake Stables is just one provider that offers pony rides, horseback riding in nature, and a small petting zoo. Nothing beats spending Spring Break riding horses and relaxing in the comfort of a luxurious cabin in Big Bear.

Five Star Vacation Rental offers cabins with stunning views, gourmet kitchens, and unparalleled luxury. Spring Break only comes once a year, and when it does, you should make the most of the chance to plan a getaway. Our rentals truly make the difference between a good vacation and a great one. If you’re ready to have the Big Bear adventure of a lifetime, spend it in the comfort of a premium vacation rental.

Big Bear is our top Spring Break destination, but if you’re looking for a more exotic vacation, 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 vacation to Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.

Spending St. Patty’s in Big Bear

St. Patrick’s Day means something a little bit different to everybody. For kids, it’s a warning to wear green or be pinched, and for adults, it might be the rare opportunity to drink green beer. Its origins have seemingly gotten lost in translation, but you’re bound to have fun on a holiday devoted to lucky clovers, pots of gold, and leprechauns. A day this silly deserves to be celebrated unabashedly, and there’s no better place to do that than in Big Bear while luxuriating in one of the finest vacation rentals available. Renting a cabin in Big Bear might mean it’s your friends who spend St. Patrick’s Day green with envy!

If you’re planning to chase rainbows on a hunt for pots of gold, the weekend of March 17th might be the time to do it. If you had other activities in mind, though, Big Bear has lots to offer. March is a particularly beautiful time to visit. Snow starts to melt off, amusement abounds, and outdoor activities, as always, provide more than enough entertainment. You can spend the day exploring one of Big Bear’s many lush forest areas, and though you likely won’t find gold, you may find some four-leafed clovers. Nothing is quite as lucky as getting to relax in a premium Big Bear cabin, though.

If you’d rather spend the day celebrating in a more traditional manner, adults can enjoy the festivities that will be hosted at many local bars and taverns. Nottinghams Tavern is just one destination you can stop by for food, drinks and a great social scene. St. Patrick’s Day is sure to provide a lively party scene, but whether or not green beer will on the menu, we’re not sure.

Big Bear is known for its beautifully green landscapes, so what better place could there be to spend St. Patrick’s Day? And your trip won’t be complete without booking a luxury vacation rental from Five Star Vacation Rentals. Other rentals don’t compare to the designer features, stunning layouts, and immaculate beauty of our cabins. Don’t be surprised if you visit Big Bear and find that you’d prefer to stay inside all day!

Big Bear is our most popular locale, but we offer incredible rentals for a variety of other destinations, too. So if St. Patty’s in Big Bear is not your cup of tea, you can book Five Star Vacation rentals in Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. Most people don’t get to vacation often, so we go above and beyond to ensure that when you’re staying in one of our rentals, you are enjoying the finest luxury and relaxation. If you’d like more information, you can reach out to our friendly staff by calling 310-780-3411.

Why Not ‘Spring Forward’ Into a Big Bear Vacation Rental?

There’s nothing quite like being robbed of an hour of sleep. Alas, Father Time isn’t always on our side, and so we begin the springtime season with Daylight Savings. If you’re like most people, the adjustment will be a little difficult, but waking up in a luxury cabin can help soften the blow. Losing an hour of sleep isn’t so bad, after all, if the rest of the night is spent in the comfort of a vacation rental’s warm, cozy bed. Daylight Savings isn’t just a great excuse to rent a cabin, though, it’s also one of the most beautiful times of year that you can plan a visit to Big Bear.

As the clocks spring forward, winter gives way to the welcoming brightness of spring. This is a fantastic time to come visit, since most of the snow has started to melt off, and activities during this season often take place around the lake. Fish species such trout and bass populate the water and make for ideal fishing conditions. Amateur fishers and seasoned pros alike are welcome to bring their bait and catch some of the lake’s plentiful fish population.

Childhood Other activities include biking along one of many mountain trails nestled in nature as spring blooms. The snow that covers many of the paths in winter will melt off and open up opportunities for anybody who’d prefer a bike experience with a little more traction than snow provides. There are vendors nearby who supply bike rentals, and you can also book a spot on a guided tour if you’d like to bike along in a group. Biking in the beautiful landscape that spring reveals is a wonderful adventure.

The only thing that might rival the fun and activities of Big Bear itself is the luxury and relaxation you’ll find in a Five Star Vacation Rental. Our properties combine the absolute best of comfort and high-end accommodations, with gourmet kitchens, designer features, and gorgeous fireplaces throughout many of our rentals. You’ll find that the excitement of a day in the town may be matched by the excitement of settling in and relaxing in the comfort of your vacation rental.
