A short 150km jaunt from Los Angeles, Big Bear has become one of Southern California’s premier escape* destinations.

* Urban escape, not maximum security prison. Useful distinction.

This mountainous town is a haven for city dwellers who are tired of the hustle and bustle. They come to enjoy the summer hiking trails, mountain biking or winter skiing slopes. The picturesque lake that surrounds it is a hub of recreational activities. Big Bear is one of a few alpine communities in the Sunshine State that can accommodate all types of altitude addicts.

In recent years, the vacation rental market has grown in a big way, despite the fact that it is a relatively smaller settlement. This has led to a wide variety of different accommodation options.

Are you looking for a vacation house that is Instagram-worthy? You may want to find a place that won’t drain your savings.

You may be ambitious and want everything.

If you’re looking for a place to rent that has everything, then consider one of the many cabins available in Big Bear.

Consider these 5 Big Bear cabins for your next mountain getaway.
