DESTINATION BIG BEAR

What better way than to kick off the Summer season than a Big Bear stay! Last weekend we celebrated Summer Solstice at the Sundance Lodge, a spacious luxury home nestled in the forest through Destination Big Bear.  

This luxury lodge was the perfect home to host our yoga/hiking retreat, enjoy a girls weekend away and soak up some fun in the sun.  We enjoyed yoga on the deck twice a day, marveled at forest views from the jacuzzi, and hiked a few of my favorite nearby trails, ending with some refreshments on the sand  

Whether it’s your first time visiting or you are planning a return with family and friends,  Destination Big Bear helps create the ideal mountain experience, offering a wide range of accommodations from friends getaway stays to a wide array of large cabins for groups, family vacations, or business retreats. 

Big Bear mountain offers a variety of recreation, spectacular scenery, and is a great spot to visit year round. A huge thank you to Destination Big Bear for hosting us at the perfect home in the Moonridge community.
