The recent storms blanketing Southern California have inflicted pain on our driving, but bring paradise to the ski slopes. The weather reports say the drought is not over, but there’s plenty of great base now. And fresh powder is falling regularly. You need to stop procrastinating, grab your skis and call us.
Our most popular ski destination is Big Bear, and it’s easy to see why. Big Bear has two of Southern California’s most popular ski resorts. Bear Mountain and Snow Summit both offer great slopes and cater to skiers of all ages and skill levels. Lift tickets give you access to both slopes, and they offer a free shuttle between them. On some days, you can ski virtually all day along on two different mountains without repeating the same run. Save some time by purchasing your tickets in advance online. Here’s the link: http://www.bearmountain.com/snowboard/rates/season-passes/ Reserve your luxury Five Star Vacation Rental at this link: http://fivestarvacationrental.com/area_BigBear.php . There’s nothing like spending a day on the slopes and then returning to the amazing luxury of your Five Star Vacation Rental cabin.
In the mood for a run down the slopes at Mammoth? We can help you there too. We have two great condos in the Juniper Springs Lodge. We love this destination because it’s a true ski in-ski out location. For the serious skier, you have no travel time at all. You’re right on the slopes, and can just about roll out of bed directly onto the first ski run of the day within minutes. Take a look at our Mammoth units at this link: http://fivestarvacationrental.com/area_MammothMountain.php .
We’re also pleased to offer a beautiful condo at the base of Park City Mountain in Park City. Located just moments from to the Three Kings, First Time, and Eagle chairlifts, this is a great destination for up to 4 guests. It’s also centrally located for the great nightlife offered in Park City, so you can ski all day and enjoy the nightlife until exhaustion brings you back to your luxury Five Star Vacation Rental. It will be a great feeling, though. Take a closer look at this property at this link: http://fivestarvacationrental.com/propertyPage.php?prop=snowFlower

The long summer and fall have come to an end, and it’s time to start preparing for your annual pilgrimage to the snow in Big Bear. For some of us it’s far more frequent than just annually, but whatever may be your schedule, now is the time to book your getaway.
Book a Five Star Vacation Rental luxury vacation rental cabin. Those first few days back on the slopes may well result in a few sore muscles. But we’ve got the perfect solution for that. Most of our Big Bear luxury rentals have hot tubs. We’ll be happy to help you find the best vacation rental for your getaway.
We all complain about it. Life just seems busier than ever before, and in a few weeks it’ll seem even worse. It’s frustrating at times that the time of the year when we devote more of our thoughts to our family and friends, we often struggle to find the time to spend with them. What are we to do?
Getting Friday off means that Thursday can become the start of the fun. Plan your first night stay in Big Bear for Thursday. Spend a little time each evening packing and preparing, so that everyone can be ready to go Thursday. This is a wonderful way to time things, and all week long you’ll be sharing excited ideas of the things you’ll be doing in your Big Bear getaway. Each of you can wake up on Friday morning with a smile on your face. Mom and dad will be greeted to the relaxing sights, sounds, and smells of your luxury Big Bear mountain vacation rental cabin instead of the shrill sound of the alarm. The kids will open their eyes to the same reality, but smile knowing all their friends are dragging themselves off to school while they will be playing in the hills of Big Bear. It will be an amazing time for all of you. Depending upon the time of your arrival, you’ll have plenty of fun things to do ranging from skiing to hiking and shopping in the Village. Regardless of what you may do, it will be a weekend to remember, and you’ll all be glad for the time away.
The holiday season is upon us. We always love this time of year. We get busier with shopping and making plans, but it has an entirely different flavor from those same pursuits the rest of the year. During the holidays we’re shopping for special gifts for people we love, and we’re making plans to enjoy time with family and friends. The rest of the year shopping and making plans can be mostly mundane, but during the holidays we enjoy these things much more.
Your time spent with family in your Big Bear Five Star Vacation rental cabin will be a delight for everyone in your group. Our cabins are specifically chosen for their attention to comfort and luxury. The kitchens each have the cooking tools needed so the chefs in your family can have some real fun preparing gourmet meals for your group. You can plan day trips to the Village for some great shopping and fine outside dining as well. We’ll soon have snow on the ground, so you can add skiing, sledding and snow play to your activities as well. The hardest part of your time with us will be when you have to eventually leave to return home. But don’t despair. You can book your next getaway with us as soon as you get back home.
We can’t believe it’s almost time for snow in Big Bear again. The weatherman is saying we may get our first snowfall on Halloween, and we’re getting excited.
First, you must be sure you have the best accommodations possible for your ski getaway. This is crucial. Those first few days back on the slopes usually result in some sore muscles later that day. With your Five Star Vacation Rental unit you can be assured that regardless of how the slopes may knock you around, you’ll end the day immersed in the absolute luxury of one of our cabins or estates. Plan your stay for later in the season if you want a better likelihood of snow.
We all love Aunt Clarissa. And we’re pretty sure every family has their own Aunt Clarissa. We really do love her. She has an opinion about everything, and advice for almost anything. She makes it a point to spend every holiday at our house, and we’re pleased to have her. But she has a bad back, so she can’t be expected to sleep on the sofa. Or the hideaway bed. Or in a nearby hotel. For the last couple of years we’ve abandoned our bedroom, so she can get the best bed in the house. Somehow each year, it seems we end up sleeping on the sofa in our own home. But we really love Aunt Clarissa.
Call Five Star Vacation Rentals and let our specialists help you locate a luxury vacation rental cabin or estate in Big Bear. We have a collection of the finest quality Big Bear cabins you can possibly find. Our cabins range in size perfect for groups from a small family to a big multi-family reunion. Aunt Clarissa can have her very own room without relegating you to the sofa. We’ll help you choose the one that’s just right for your plans. But don’t delay. We usually get completely booked for the holidays.
Halloween falls on a Friday this year, and we’ve got some positively spooky ideas for great fun in Big Bear.
Our favorite story was from our old Uncle Murray. He said Halloween was started centuries ago by a guy named Hal who was constantly begging for free food from his neighbors One year in late October the neighbors rebelled at his freeloading and plotted a way to make it stop. They all dressed in scary outfits and decided to scare Hal away. They hid in the bushes one night as Hal made his usual rounds and jumped out while screaming loudly. The plot seemed to work. Hal ran away and did not return. His neighbors celebrated the fact that they had weaned Hal from his continually mooching. Things became unusually quiet around the neighborhood. It was too quiet.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve just added another new luxury vacation rental in Big Bear. This one brings a wealth of luxury features, and we’re confident it will inspire many guests to start planning return visits even before their first one is finished.
The cabin is dominated by its towering central fireplace. It defines the great room area by ascending up through the loft floor and continues to the ceiling above. The open loft area adds to the spacious feel you’ll experience. The cabin also boasts one of the largest outdoor living areas we’ve seen. The massive main deck measures 1600 square feet, and places you amid the treetops. With 3 master suites, this luxury vacation rental is perfect for large groups or multiple families. The large backyard has plenty of room for winter play with sleds and saucers. There’s even a treehouse that will be a hit with the kids.
The other luxury amenities you’ll notice are the rustic-style decorating including antlers and oversize sofas and chairs. The radiant floor heating will be a big hit as the weather turns colder. Enjoy simple bare feet or stockings without any discomfort even as the snow flies out the window. And the elevation here at High Timber Ranch typically gets more snow than the lake or village areas. Skiers in your party will enjoy its close proximity to Bear Mountain. Your entire party will enjoy the amazing relaxation and luxury they’ll experience at 
October is here. Yes, wipe the sleep out of your eyes and check the calendar. Summer is officially over, and fall is here.

We still have some cabins available for your family to enjoy the festivities, so call us to book yours right away.
Once you and your family have been fully immersed in the transformative powers of polka, you may wish to experience some of the other delights offered in Big Bear while under its spell. Oktoberfest brings with it a plethora of family activities. There’s the avenue of booths offering fun chachkies and beer steins bigger than your head. There’s bratwurst, sauerkraut, and a bunch of other wonderful foods. The kids can enjoy face painting and lots of fun games. And they’ll love to polka even more than you will.
