Big Bear Lake is the mountain escape for Southern Californians, sitting at 6,700 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains just two hours from LA. Skiing and snowboarding in winter, lake life and hiking in summer, and cosy cabin stays year-round. It's one of the most popular weekend getaway markets in the country. Gap nights here mean lakefront cabins, ski-adjacent chalets, and mountain homes at last-minute prices.
