Valentine's Day Getaway Archives - Five Star Vacation Rental

Spend Valentine’s Day in Big Bear

Valentine's Day Romance We have long advocated for taking your romantic life to a new level. And with Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, this is a perfect time to make this year’s celebration a great one. Sure, grab some chocolates and flowers, but also tell your love to pack a bag. February 14th falls on a Friday this year, so this is a great opportunity to plan a long weekend and spend Valentine’s Day in Big Bear.

Ski season is in full swing, so you can plan the long weekend with time on the slopes while relaxing in the comfort of your luxury Five Star Vacation Rental when you’re not on the slopes. Choose one of our properties with a spa, and the scene is set. Relax in front of the fireplace after dinner and enjoy the contrast of the chilly evening air while you bask in the warmth of your hot tub.

Romantic Valentine's Day in Front of Fire And this is not a typical hotel getaway. Instead of having a room in a hallway full of doors to other rooms, you’ll have the entire place to yourselves. If there’s a conversation taking place in the hallway, it’s one you’re involved in, not some stranger wandering the hallway looking for their room. And it’s a perfect setup to have a quiet dinner or breakfast in front of the fireplace followed by a relaxing dip in the spa later. Take a walk in the brisk wintery Big Bear night to refresh yourselves.

There are lots of things that make for a memorable, romantic time together, but the most important one is the actual time together. And with your Five Star Vacation Rentals Big Bear getaway, you can relax and create new memories that you’ll carry with you in the years ahead.

Valentine’s Day in Big Bear

We know we’re a bit biased about this, but we’ve been pretty consistent about encouraging our friends and family the Valentine’s Day can be much better than a simple bouquet of flowers and box of candy.

Beautiful Soft Pink Roses with a Heart Shape Box of Chocolate Candy There’s certainly nothing wrong with candy and flowers, but they can be a bit lacking in a full expression of exactly how much that special someone actually means to you. And while these may be an important part of your loving celebration, there’s so much more you can do to make sure Valentine’s Day is a memorable event that more fully expresses your feelings. This is where we come in, and how we can revolutionize your celebration.

Big Bear is For Lovers

Feet warming at fireplace with hands holding wine Imagine a great day alone with your sweetheart. You started the day with a gourmet breakfast in one of the little cafes in Big Bear Village. You strolled among the great little shops afterward picking up a few little souvenirs to remember the day. You found a great bottle of wine in one of the shops, and you bought it to enjoy later while you relax in the hot tub at your Five Star Vacation Rental. It was a bit cold outside, so you returned to the cabin and started a nice fire going in the fireplace. Later, you cooked her favorite dish in the gourmet kitchen of your Five Star Vacation Rental. You smile that the flowers and candy you bought are sitting on the table nearby, and are glad you choose to much more this year.

Sound like a good plan? We certainly agree. Make this Valentine’s Day one you’ll both recall and want to repeat again next year.

Plan the Perfect Valentine’s Day Getaway With Five Star Vacation Rentals

We’re less than a month out from Valentine’s day, and this is a great time to make your plans. Why not make this year special by planning a getaway to a Five Star Vacation Rental cabin or estate? It can make a huge difference, and will likely be a getaway you’ll long remember.

There’s nothing wrong with tradition, and most of us are reliable when it comes to making sure our loved ones get a nice card, a romantic dinner and maybe some candy and flowers. But you can make it so much more. How about planning a getaway that includes waking up to a panoramic forest view with Big Bear Lake in the background? With our Big Bear cabins you can start the day with a fresh breakfast prepared in your cabin’s gourmet kitchen. Relax a while, and then take a stroll on one of Big Bear’s scenic hiking trails. Later you can visit The Village and enjoy browsing the dozens of unique shops with memorable items and gifts crated by local artists. Spend romantic evenings relaxing in front of the fireplace. Choose one of our cabins with a hot tub, and you can enjoy the brisk evening nights while relaxing alone together.

Or choose one of our beachside Nuevo Vallarta condos in Mexico for a truly exotic getaway. Take a quick cab ride into Puerto Vallarta and you’ll soon be shopping for great local souvenirs or enjoying some great seafood at a little cafe. As the sun gets lower in the sky, you can enjoy watching the sunset over the ocean from the balcony of your suite. Plan a fun evening out and head to one of the local destinations for some live music and dancing. Cap the evening off with a brief stroll down the beach as you listen to the waves crashing nearby. This is romance taken to a new level.

We still have plenty of openings for Valentine’s week, and we’ll be happy to help you book your stay. Just give us a call at 310-780-3411.

Was One of Your New Year’s Resolutions To Stop Procrastinating?

Some of us are worse than others, but we all are prone to procrastination. It seems it’s just part of the human condition. Sometimes there’s really no good reason for it. Other times we have very important reasons like looking up the meaning of the word, “apanthropinization.” And still other times it’s just Saturday and we’re entitled to disengage from any meaningful interaction with the reality of our lives. Well, we’re here just like your old Aunt Valentina to encourage you to stop putting off your plans for some very important dates ahead. But unlike her, we’re willing to step up with some solutions beyond simply wagging our finger in your face.

To make things simpler for you, we’re giving you a heads up today about some important dates that offer great opportunities to end your procrastinating and plan a great getaway to Big Bear.

Have you checked the calendar? Valentine’s day is less than a month away. Please tell us that you’re not seriously still thinking that after years of the same old CCFDO (Candy, Card, Flowers, Dinner Out), she’s not entitled to something a bit better this year. And have either of you considered the possibility that a grander expression of your love and appreciation may well result in a grander expression of love and appreciation back your way? We can’t imagine any possible down side to that.

Another good reason to hop on this one is that we may well be sold out for Valentine’s Day. The date falls on a Saturday this year, so a weekend getaway will be even more popular than in previous years. Prove to your spouse that you can conquer procrastination and book your Valentine’s Day romantic getaway today! Once you’ve secured one of our luxury vacation rental cabins in Big Bear, you can begin to plan for that moment as you’re being smothered with grateful kisses. You can briefly break away from that affectionate embrace and with all modesty state, “You know, I’ve been planning this for weeks.” Mission accomplished.

Next on the agenda is Spring Break. We’ll have more on that in a later blog post, but it’s another busy time for us. You’re wise to plan ahead. Most schools will observe Spring Break starting the last week of March, so — don’t make us say it — don’t procrastinate! Call us today at 310-800-5454, and we’ll help you find the ideal vacation rental for your getaway. Did you know that we have strategically acquired several luxury properties that sit side-by-side? This is perfect if you want to plan a big outing for multiple families or large groups. Call us and we’ll check to see what’s available for the dates you have in mind.

Call us at 310-800-5454 and we’ll be glad to help you with your Valentine’s Day or Spring Break plans.

Top 100 Reasons to Book Your Big Bear Getaway Today

Well, forgive us our short attention span, but we’re going to skip immediately to reason number 98. The previous 97 were all perfectly sound reasons as well, but . . . do you really need 100 reasons? And let’s be honest, how many of you would keep reading much beyond the first five or six?

Reason 98: Valentine’s Day + Skiing

Valentine’s Day is a very popular holiday with our guests. It’s easy to understand. If you book the right cabin, you’ll end up with a romantic fireplace, a great forest view, perhaps even a hot tub. Give your mind a few moments to ponder the possibilities of these ingredients . . . It’s going to be a weekend you’ll both remember with a sigh and a smile. Bear Mountain and Snow Summit are both open with great skiing, so you can add this to your great romantic getaway. It will be one you’re going to want to repeat again next year. If you book far enough in advance, you can even get the same cabin and start an annual tradition. A very warm and wonderful tradition. When you add a few chocolates, some candles, and a nice meal to the equation, we’re pretty sure you’re going to have the romantic time of your life. And this may be a great opportunity to stretch out your getaway. Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year, and the following Monday is the President’s Day holiday. But that pushes us into the next reason.

Reason 99: President’s Day + Skiing

This year President’s Day falls on Monday, February 17th. School will be out, and it’s a great chance to get away for some last-minute skiing and downtime with the family. As we noted in our previous reason, Friday the 14th should be reserved as a romantic evening for you and your sweetheart. But many of us enjoy our family time, and don’t want to miss an opportunity to get some quality time together. President’s day weekend is a great opportunity to have some quality family time combined with some great skiing. Be advised that most of our cabins are already booked for that weekend. But as we write this, we still have about a dozen cabins available for a Friday night (February 14th) arrival with a Monday morning departure. It’s a perfect long weekend you can devote to a romantic evening on Friday, followed by family fun for the rest.

Reason 100: You Need to Give Your Productivity a Boost

It seems counterintuitive, but studies have shown that people who work constantly with very little time devoted to rest actually end up being less productive than their counterparts who take days off and schedule downtime. But when you think about a bit, it really makes sense. Even our cars come with a maintenance schedule designed to pull them off the road for brief periods of time to get refreshed and lubricated. Don’t you really need to be refreshed and lubricated too? There’s really no better place to get your human oil changed than in a Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear. We’ve been hearing that groan you let out each morning as you pry yourself out of bed, and it’s time you get that noise looked at. A good weekend away in one of our luxurious cabins is sure to cure you, and put a new spring in your step. You’ll be good for another 20,000 miles or so.

Feel free to invent your own reasons. Virtually any good or bad reason will do. And whatever reason you choose, you can be assured that we’ll be here ready to welcome you into one of our cozy and luxurious Big Bear Vacation Rentals.

What Do You Have Planned For Valentine’s Day?

We’re still about a month out from Valentine’s Day, so there’s a little bit of time left for you to plan an amazing event for your loved one.

It’s time to go beyond the usual expectations and plan a Valentine’s Day that will be something you both smile about with fond memories for many years to come.

Big Bear is a perfect place to rekindle the romance in your relationship.

Choose one of our cabins with a hot tub or Jacuzzi, and you’ll have another wonderful place to relax and enjoy each other’s company as you revel in the romance of the moment.

We recommend you start the evening either at one of Big Bear’s fine restaurants or with a cozy dinner you prepare in the kitchen of your cabin. Be sure to linger a while over a glass of wine and a great little dessert before you head over to the fireplace or hot tub. Once there, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the quiet stillness of a Big Bear evening. You may want to take a stroll through the Village before you head back to the cabin. Breathe the crisp evening air, and you’ll both delight in the relaxing atmosphere.

Plan Your Perfect Valentine’s Day Getaway

Valentine’s Day is just a couple weeks away, and you’re in danger of missing a huge opportunity. Sure, candy and flowers are nice, but isn’t it time to really show him or her a better demonstration of your affection? Flowers quickly wilt, and candy will disappear, but a romantic getaway will be something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. And we’ve got some of the most romantic getaways imaginable. Here are a couple ideas:

We’ve got great winter conditions in Big Bear right now, and whether you’re a skier or not, it’s a perfect time to get away. Imagine cooking a romantic dinner for your honey and settling down in front of a crackling fire with a nice glass of wine as you enjoy a romantic evening in one of our luxury Big Bear cabins. Many of our cabins also have toasty warm hot tubs that will be the perfect place to enjoy the crisp night air and watch as the stars put on their nightly show in the wide open skies above the treetops. It’s a perfect recipe for romance, and we’re sure it’s one that both of you will remember with a knowing smile for many years to come. Recharge your batteries, and rekindle the romance in your marriage with a weekend escape to Big Bear.

If you’ve got something more exotic in mind, we’ve got a perfect opportunity for that as well. Our beach side resort units in Puerto Nuevo Mexico are just amazing. There are daily flights from all southern California airports, and it’s a short cab ride from the airport to Villa la Estancia.

This world-class resort offers a level of luxury found in very few international destinations. Enjoy a fine gourmet meal at the on site restaurant, La Casona. This restaurant boasts some of the best reviews of the entire region, and you’ll enjoy an amazing fare of Kobe beef, or fresh local seafood. February weather in Puerto Nuevo sees daily highs usually in the 80’s, so later you can take a slow walk on the beach. You’ll delight in the sound of the surf as the pressures from back home seem a million miles away. Take your relaxation to an even deeper level with the resort’s spa, and you’ll see why Villa la Estancia is a prime destination for people from all over the world. Can you imagine anything more romantic?

We’ve helped hundreds of our guest put together the perfect romantic getaway, so be sure to call us to plan yours. But don’t delay, as Valentine’s Day is one of our busiest times, and we’ve got only a limited number of luxury units available. You can make this Valentine’s day one that will create sighs and smiles for many years to come, and we’ll be glad to help. Just give us a call at 310-780-3411, and we’ll get to work!

And remember we’ve also got luxury vacation rentals available in Park City,Palm Springs/La Quinta, Southern California Beaches, and Mammoth Mountain. Your vacation time and romantic plans are just too important to leave to chance.
