Three Reasons to Plan a Big Bear Getaway

Big Bear is our most popular destination and there are probably about a hundred good reasons why you should plan your next getaway there. But we’re going to point out just three reasons to plan a Big Bear getaway.

Big Bear Has Great Skiing

Two of southern California’s most popular ski destinations are Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. This season is likely to be a busy one with lots of skiers looking to hit the slopes early and often. Lift tickets will be limited and likely harder to get as the season comes into full swing. Since 1952 families have headed to Big Bear to enjoy the thrill of downhill runs. Lift tickets get you access to both locations, and there are slopes suitable for all skill levels. New skiers can take advantage of the ski lessons offered, and there are ski rentals for newcomers to hit the slopes for the thrill of their first runs.

Big Bear Has Great Scenery

Big Bear has dozens of miles of hiking trails, and Big Bear Lake is a year-round destination. Fishing and boating are a great way to leave behind the daily grind down the mountain and totally immerse yourself in the mountain’s ecosystem. With Five Star Vacation Rentals, you’ll enjoy this pristine surrounding in some of the finest luxury to be found anywhere in Southern California. You’ll delight in leaving behind the city traffic and crowds is enough to jump start your enjoyment. Start your morning with a steaming cup of coffee looking out over treetops, Big Bear Lake, and the mountains beyond to get a real sense for how relaxing this can be.

Five Star Vacation Rentals Offers Luxury Relaxation

Leave behind the usual search for a hotel along with the accompanying shared spaces and loud neighbors. Never again be awakened at 3 AM by a loud conversation in the hallway outside your room. Trade out the early morning hunt as you go searching for a restaurant with a relaxing stroll down your private hallway to your private kitchen to enjoy breakfast surrounded only by the people you choose, not a bunch of strangers. Get a fire going in the fireplace and relax with some warm coffee or cocoa as you discuss the plans for the day or just have relaxing there by the fireplace be your plans for the day.

Making a Better Fall Getaway

We’re willing to bet most of you didn’t have “stay home, avoid friends, limit travel and homeschool” on your bingo cards for this year. But when life throws lemons at you, we say “make a huge tasty lemon meringue pie.” And part of that involves making a better fall getaway with a Five Star Vacation Rental cabin or estate in Big Bear.

Part of the upside of having the kids doing their schoolwork from home is that you’re no longer tethered to having them in school. As part of our “Glass Half Full Initiative,” we’re suggesting you turn this unexpected situation into a plus and have your family dedicate some time to enjoying the beauty found in Big Bear. It’s a truly great solution. Start the day with a family breakfast followed by quiet time for the kids to do their online schooling, and finish up with an afternoon walk in the woods or a family movie night with popcorn and treats. It’s a family vacation without missing school.

Most of Big Bear is back open with observing social distancing and masks. And if you’d prefer, each of our cabins has a full kitchen, so you can cook up your favorites right without even venturing out. Just slide out to the deck and enjoy the cool Big Bear evening air as the family enjoys a great dinner. Grab some desert later and maybe relax in the spa too. Get the picture? This can actually become a time your family remembers fondly.

Bring your bicycles along to expand your exploring. Whether you’re on the streets or bike trails, there’s plenty to explore in Big Bear. The shops and restaurants at The Village are open, and there are many great gifts and treasures to be found. Grab some takeout from any of the wonderful restaurants, and you can enjoy a great meal back at your Five Star Vacation Rental.

Spotlight on Estate by the Lake Big Bear Vacation Rental

We have so many amazing properties, sometimes we get concerned that the beauty and quality of any individual property may be overlooked as guests browse our vacation rentals. It’s a bit like having a tray of precious gems to choose from. All may be amazing but viewed together, its difficult to really grasp the true quality and rarity of any individual one without picking it up and taking a closer look. So with that in mind, we’d like to direct your attention to one of our amazing estates in Big Bear.

We’ve seen quite a few amazing properties, so we’re not as easily impressed as we once were. But we still vividly recall when when we first visited Estate By the Lake, and experienced the amazing luxury and sheer size of the space. As we walked through the estate, our mind raced with the sort of luxury that our guests will experience while staying here. The dining room is surely one of the most spectacular rooms with its soaring ceiling and custom stained glass acorn-themed chandeliers. And the dining table is huge with room to feed your entire group in a single sitting.

With its 6 bedrooms and 5-1/2 baths, it’s ideal for large groups or multiple family getaways. But it has so many desirable amenities, that it will be appealing to any of our guests, regardless of the size of your party. Fishing on the lake is great this time of year, and the lake is right across the street. For more outdoor fun, you’ll want to relax in the sunken spa, or take a swim in the pool. The kitchen is a gourmet’s delight with beautiful natural stone counters, double ovens, and professional-grade gas stove.  It sits on a huge lot, so be sure to set aside some time to enjoy strolling the grounds for a while or sitting out on one of the decks to enjoy the cool summer evening breezes. And you can settle in with some hot chocolate later in front of one of the 4 fireplaces to cap off the day.

Five of the bedrooms are master suites, and two have full Jacuzzi tubs for your relaxation. There’s a steam shower as well for your enjoyment. There’s a level entrance with two downstairs bedrooms making this property fully handicap accessible and perfectly comfortable for including the grandparents in your getaway.

But you really need to take a closer look at the pictures to get a sense of the amazing luxury you’ll experience with this estate. View more details about our Cabin #8 at this link.
