There are so many reasons to come to Big Bear for your next vacation or even for that overnight get away. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we have the best outdoor activities and plenty of sunshine to do it in!

With over 300 days of sunshine all year, there’s not a season you will be disappointed in coming. With the most scenic views around, just the drive up to Big Bear is exciting! Climbing over 6500 feet above sea level Big Bear sits atop the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains at 6,743 feet in elevation.

Once up here you’ll have to take a short drive around the lake with its 22 miles of shoreline, 7 miles in length and an average ½ mile across. The average depth of the water is about 35 feet in the middle, and the max is 74 feet at the dam. With the heat from the city you might want to come up to cool off, our temperatures averagely fall around 80 degrees during the daytime in summer; cooling off at night with an average of 45.
Here we have an array of outdoor activates for the whole family, no matter the age, there is some fun to be had in the area. We have boat rentals: anything from a speed or pontoon boats all the way down to kayaks and canoes. If you don’t want to drive that boat yourself, you can always hop on one of the many rides or tours we have to offer. What’s that you say, you want to soar above the lake?! You can do that too! Take a parasailing ride and you can fly high above the lake, with the most breathtaking views possible. How about a zip-line tour where you can zipping through the forest towards the lake at an exciting 90 miles an hour!
You may be looking for a more relaxing adventure, if you are there are many other ways to explore our forest! You could start by taking a horseback ride, or forget the horse and just take a peaceful hike. You could take a ride on the scenic Summit Sky Chair to the top of the ski resort where, in the summer, you are able to hike around, down or atop the mountain. Either way you can find a trail that’s right for you.
Maybe you don’t want to hike in the forest, but drive instead. We have Off Road Adventures to take you on a guided tour around to some of the coolest spots. With lots of history, interesting facts and stunning views you’ll be amazed. You don’t have to take the guided tour; you might choose to do the “Self Guided Tour” through the Holcomb Valley. Just stop off at the Discovery Center for a brochure guide. With the locations mapped out for you and the total mileage between each spot there’s no way to get lost and you’re bound to have some sort of fun! While you’re there at the Discovery Center shop around for some kick knacks and mementos, and if you happened to get hungry you could stop by the little café they have inside too! They have a wealth of information about the plant and wildlife found indigenous to this area. You don’t want to forget any parking passes permits or maps while there, they have it all. From the hiking and biking trail maps, to camping information this is the spot to get it.
Now that I told you what there is to do up here the only thing you have to do is call. For the cheapest lodging deals and specials on the mountain you can visit US Gold Rush Resort Rentals. At 40016 Big Bear Blvd. Or check us out online at www.cabin411.com. Enjoy and we hope to see you soon!

We spent our Halloween night in the Village, with most of the valley’s trick or treaters! What a wonderfully spooky time we had!

But, first we stopped by the last and final day of the Oktoberfest for a costume contest! My beautiful daughter Shaeley, dressed up as Princess Cinderella, got 2nd runner up!

My son who was a ninja and my niece who was also a princess, Princess Ariel, had a great time and got a prize for participating! Then off to the village for some treats!

We saw some great costumes, and got even better candy! We even caught an awesome Christian band Witness, who performed at the Skeleton Key!

We met up with lots of friends, and couldn’t seem to even recognize a few! All in all it was a great Halloween night!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

Halloween, also known as “All Hallows Eve“, will occur this year on a Saturday!  You know what that means…there are going to be a TON of children trick or treating in the Village and at our Zoo!

The local merchants get together and give away candy in a central location…it keeps kids off the local streets.  Also, being a tourist community half of the houses are empty, thus not allowing a bag full of treats!  The Zoo hosts BOO! in the Zoo at the Moonridge Animal Park.  Check out their website for more info!

Whatever you choose to do, remember we have a rental just for YOU!  Give us a call at 1 (866)-37- CABIN and we will find a non-haunted house for you!

Just checking the stats today, and isn’t it nice to see BOTH Los Angeles teams in first place in their division?

I had the pleasure of attending the World Series at Angel Stadium a few years back.  There is NOTHING like the World Series if you are a BASEBALL FAN! That I am!

Well, even non baseball fans can appreciate the winding down of the season, the fall crispness blowing in the air, and the crack of the bat!  Cracker Jack’s never tasted so good!

Well put on your ball caps and join us here in Big Bear for some fun and excitement!  We have cabins with Big Screen TVs, you could host your own baseball party right here in Big Bear.

Give us a call at 1 (866) 37-CABIN or check us out at www.bigbearrentals.net .

fyingbear-zipline

So as of a few months ago, we have a new, fun and exciting way to explore the Big Bear Valley.

Currently the one and only operating Zip Line Tour in all of Southern California! You can zoom on 3 different zip lines for about 2 hours or you can get the BIG package and do all 5 zips which take about 3 hours.

You soar 100 feet above the forest floor, with awesome views of the lake and the surrounding area. They have aerial platforms for easy take off and landing and it’s available year round! Located about 5 minutes from the Village just off Mill Creek Rd.

It’s only 2 hours from you guys down there in the LA basin. You must be at least 75 pounds and not exceed 250 pounds. But don’t worry; they do have tandem tours available  so you can take the little one too!

The prices are the best part…well probably until you get up there…with the Black Bear Tour with 3 zips is only $65 and if your down to do the Grizzly Bear Tour that will only cost you $85 for all 5 zips!

I can’t wait to explore this newest way to check out the scenery! Hope you have a high flyin time!

The Annual Troutfest is just around the corner.  There are always lots of prizes to be had and lots of FISHING to be done!

I will fill you in on the details later, BUT I just reserved a cabin for a fellow and he also needed to rent our boat dock!  Now, that is what I call a “reel fisherman”!  We still have cabins and docks available for your fishing pleasure.

Give us a call at Gold Rush Resort Rentals and we will find you the right deal!
