Big Bear and BIG Snow

If you still haven't made it up to Big Bear yet to play in the snow, don't worry there's plenty! With a recent downpour of well over 3 feet, the powder is fresh and the sun is out! The beautiful weather makes for the perfect time to come up and enjoy some fun in the sun and in the snow, at the same time! The main highway leading up to Big Bear, Hwy 18 has been closed for a couple days due to extreme amounts of snow blocking the road, but not to worry! There are two other ways up to Big Bear, Hwy 38, and the back part of Hwy 18.

Hwy 18 is currently open until Snow Valley Ski Resort, so you can still ski and check out surrounding communities like Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs that also are covered in snow! Hwy 18 is said to be opening on Fri, but check in with us again for the latest on when it is opened.

Don't forget that we have many beautiful vacation homes available all around the mountain communities for some fun in the snow!

Coachella Lives On... Thanks To Layaway

With the economy in a recession, and more and more people losing their jobs, indulgent expenses like concerts, art festivals, and shows are feeling the pinch. Retailers like TJ Maxx, Sears, KMART, Burlington Coat Factory, and Marshalls have reinstated or introduced layaway to their customers, taking the place of high-interest credit cards.

Now, there's another name to add to that list... Coachella Music and Art Festival.

In seeing the need to attract attendees that may not be able to shell out the $99.00 single-day passes, or the $269.00 three-day passes, they have wisely decided to offer layaway. Talk about adjusting to the times! Making a small payment every couple of weeks is much less painful than handing over $99-$269 at once. We have to hand it to the organizers for really appealing to the masses.

Not only does Coachella have a good thing going with the layaway, but check out the lineup...

• Paul McCartney


• The Killers


• The Cure


• Morrissey


• Amy Winehouse


• Lupe Fiasco


• Yeah Yeah Yeahs


• My Bloody Valentine

And Much, Much More...

The hotels in the area are sold out for the entirety of the festival, but we still have many vacation homes available for the event. Give us a call for more info on the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, and lodging for the event!
