Amid the peaks of the San Bernardino Mountains on Big Bear Lake rests the Club at Big Bear Lake, the perfect respite for the outdoors explorer. The Club at Big Bear Village is a destination all in its own with an array of great amenities. A seasonal outdoor heated pool helps families and friends cool off after afternoons of hiking the San Bernardino Mountains or after a long workout in the private fitness center. A billiards room offers a place for adults to play, while dedicated kids' and teens' rooms feature activities geared to their respective audiences.

Club at Big Bear Lake offers three and four-bedroom villas outfitted with cozy furniture, plush bedding and fully equipped kitchens - complete with state-of-the- art appliances - as well as full balconies and even grills. Whirlpool baths help you relax while living room fireplaces give reason for family to gather. Each vacation villa includes a washer and dryer, as well, making tackling laundry a cinch.

Big Bear Lake's idyllic outdoor scenery, diverse landscapes and incredible weather define much of its allure. From water skiing and wakeboarding on Big Bear Lake to ziplining and snow skiing, horseback riding, kayaking and guided helicopter tours, you’ll never be at a loss for things to do in the great outdoors of California. And if you’re in the mood to head west, Hollywood and California's countless beaches make for fantastic day trips.
