What Makes a Great Big Bear Vacation Home Rental

Having Destination Big Bear involved in the buying and furnishing process will help guide you in determining maximum return on your investment.

Location, Amenities, Stylish Décor and Outdoor Living Spaces Are Key Factors

  • Location is an important consideration: neighborhood, proximity to neighbors, view, privacy.
  • Desirable amenities that guests are looking for will help increase your booking numbers, encourage guests to return and stimulate guest referrals. Hot tubs are the #1 requested amenity.
  • Stylish, cabin themed décor, comfortable mattresses and game tables will make your home memorable. Pool tables are the #1 requested game table. Foosball and shuffleboard are great space saving options.
  • Outdoor living spaces, barbecue areas, decks, patios and ample outdoor seating lend to the vacation experience guests are looking for.
