About Us

Welcome to SoCal Vacations

We created SoCal Vacations in hopes of connecting families and couples with their dream vacation rental here in Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Fawnskin, Sugarloaf and all of the surrounding areas of our little mountain valley.

You’ll love SoCal Vacations if any of this resonates with you:

  • You love the mountains and fresh air
  • You enjoy being on and around our beautiful lake
  • You are excited to go skiing and snowboarding
  • You can’t get enough of the outdoors
  • You love to hike and explore the forest
  • You relish peace and quiet
  • You just want to relax and get away from it all

Our goal at SoCal Vacations is to help you find the perfect cabin rental for your stay.
