As winter (if you want to call it that this year 😦 ) in Big Bear Lake winds down, I can’t help but look forward to springtime in the mountains. I love the warming days and cool nights, the flowers and trees blooming, the blue skies….truly beautiful.

Big Bear SpringOne of the most surprising things to me is that most people believe that Big Bear is strictly a winter destination – no more than a ski town. I can’t even count how many guests this year asked me what we do up here the rest of the year. Or, when I suggested that they visit us in spring or summer, they asked “but what is there to do?”

I guess I take it all for granted because I’ve lived here since I was 7, but truly, winter is my least favorite season in Big Bear. Don’t get me wrong, the snow is beautiful and I do enjoy skiing, but there is just so much more to do in the other months. Lake activities such as kayaking, fishing, boating and more, golfing, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, the alpine slide and waterslide. The list goes on. Not to mention the art shows, wine walks, car shows, music events, theater offerings and the Independence Day fireworks show.golf in the mountains_0

While ‘June gloom’ gets you down, we are enjoying sparkling blue skies! When you are sweating it out in July, we are putting on a light sweater for our evening walks. Seriously people, it is GORGEOUS up here in the spring, summer and fall!! And guess what? It is less expensive to enjoy Big Bear in the “off” seasons as well. Do yourself a favor and come up to explore Big Bear Lake in the warmer months. You will be amazed at our perfect weather and how much there is to do up here.

RS Vacations offers cabins of every size and location. Whether you are planning a romantic getaway for your sweetheart or want to have a fun weekend with family and friends, we have what you are looking for. Do you want to bring up the boat and need a lakefront with a private dock? We can help you. Looking for something close to the National Forest to do some hiking? You’ve come to the right place! Plan to do some shopping in The Village? We have cabins within walking distance. Golfing or Mountain Biking? A whole bunch of cabins close by. We also offer discount coupon packages on several activities and are adding more all the time. Check out our packages and specials page.

WHAT GUESTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT CLYDE’S CHALET:

*We are visiting from Australia and the cabin and area have been perfect!”
— 12/2013

*Had a fantastic President’s Day weekend here. Just moved to California this past summer from Georgia so it was our first time in Big Bear. Love the area, it’s so beautiful. Had such a good time staying at Clyde’s Chalet. Loved Buck! Hadn’t seen anything like that since the Big Bear Jamboree at Disney World. Lots of great family time together playing billiards. Thanks for opening up your lovely place to us.
–The Cate Family

*Thanks so much for having us. The house was more than we could have asked for. The views are unbelievable and the proximity to the slopes came in handy. Buck was very fun to interact with and your movie selection was great. We hope to be back soon.
–Marlee and family

*Thank you Clyde for offering an amazing, awesome and fantastic cabin. Buck made the trip extra fun. The cabin was very clean which I was most happy about. GREAT LOCATION! We will most definitely be back to hang with Buck. Till next time.
–Jah

*Our group had a wonderful time here. After a long day of skiing the hot tub was a much appreciated asset. It was well worth the chill getting to and from the water. The second day a snow storm came through and we enjoyed a snow ball fight right outside and several board games inside – the pool table was awesome too! Today the skies are clear and we are off to some more snow adventures.Thank you for the wonderful accommodations!
–Phil & the gang
