March Things To Do In Big Bear

Skiing is is great right now in Big Bear, and that’s reason enough for most our guests to plan a Big Bear getaway. There’s a huge pack and we’ve been getting lots of groomed and actual snow. We have lots of great cabins near the slopes, and you can see our our Big Bear cabins and book online at this link.

But off the slopes, Big Bear is reopening and there are lots of great activities to keep you and family enjoying your time on the mountain. One of our favorites is the Big Bear Zoo. Many of our return guests make the trek to the zoo several times a year. The zoo recently reopened with some Covid restrictions, but families are welcome, and the animals never disappoint. The collection of animals is always fun with brown bears, foxes, owls, badgers, wolves, and many more. Check out their website and plan your visit at this link: https://www.bigbearzoo.org/

Big Bear Snow Play continues to expand their fun offering. In addition to downhill inner tube slide, they’ve got their Magic Carpet to whisk you back up to the top of the slope for another run. And the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain has some great attractions as well. Enjoy the Mineshaft Coaster, Southern California’s only downhill mountain coaster. The Soaring Eagle is their great new attraction that will literally have you hanging on as you’re catapulted through the air. You can also enjoy go carts and a fun game of mini golf.

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.

A Big Bear Vacation For Adrenaline Junkies

Summer is in full swing, and many folks are in the final planning stages for their vacation time. Summer is one of our favorite times of year for this reason. We love helping folks put together getaways perfectly suited for their specific desires. Some people look forward to their vacation time looking for quiet and solitude. Many of our guests enjoy traveling at speeds no faster than a golf cart. And we’ve featured some of our golf vacations in a an earlier blog. But his week we want to go in an entirely different direction and highlight some of the outrageous and somewhat terrifyingly fun things you can do in Big Bear.

Fun In the Air

Screams and squeals of delight can be heard emanating from the skies above Big Bear on most summer afternoons. And with good reason. The airspace immediately above Big Bear is host to some of the most outrageous bucket-list adventures available anywhere. Here’s just a sample:

Big Bear Parasailing will have you soaring 300 feet above pristine Big Bear Lake. This adventure involves a high power boat, 600 feet of towline, and a parachute. Adventurers aged 12 or over can fly solo and kids over 7 can fly in tandem with an adult. The tamer members of your party can come along for a ride in the tow boat for a small extra fee. We understand the view from up there is simply amazing, and the folks riding in the boats below can barely hear you scream. But keep trying. Visit their website at http://www.bigbearparasail.net . They also have some amazing jet boat rides we mention below.

Strap on your water-powered jet pack and fly board with Action Aqua Flight, and you’ll soon be harnessing the power of a jet stream of water to levitate above the lake. We have it on good authority that this is where Iron Man first learned to fly with his jet pack. You’ll quickly learn to manipulate the powerful streams of water to reach heights up to 15 feet above the water. Make sure you have someone along to take pictures. You can tell your friends about how you once dreamed you could fly, and then the folks at Action Aqua Flight made it happen. Be sure to ask us about this activity when you book your luxury cabin rental, and we’ll be able to get you a discount. For more details, visit their website at http://actionaquaflight.com

Fun On the Water

There are only a handful of jet boats operating in the United States, and Big Bear is home to one of the most popular. They’re a big trend in New Zealand, and it’s easy to see why. Combine a roller coaster with a Disney thrill ride; then take away the rails and run it over the water. This is just a glimpse of what’s in store for you when you board one of these roaring speedsters. Your captain will help you enjoy your ride by adding in some local color and history. But that’s just filler. It’s the power and banked turns you’ll be remembering long after the ride is over. Their website is located at http://bigbearparasail.net/rides.html.

Wake boarding and water skiing continue to be some of the most popular extreme sports in Big Bear. The folks at Holloway’s Marina and North Shore Landing have a fleet of powerful Ski Sanger boats that are perfect for towing both skiers and wakeboards. Their expert pilots will maneuver the boats to maximize the wake and give you some amazing air time. They cater to experts and beginners alike with free lessons to get you going quickly.
