How to get the best rate on Big Bear Cabins (cont…)

Any vacation spot, even Disneyland, has an obvious swell of traffic on the weekend, sometimes as many as 50% more visitors than it would mid-week, but the location of Big

Bear Lake makes this figure unique… It’s too far from the masses to be a 1-night or just an afternoon trip, whereas Disneyland is not. People who go to Big Bear are without a doubt staying in a room within the big bear valley, and usually for two nights.

What does this mean to you? HUGE Mid-week price reductions!

If you look at it mathematically, there is no value in Southern California like staying in Big Bear during the mid-week. Whereas Anaheim hotels might reduce their weekday rates near Disneyland by 20% for a Monday – Thursday night stay, Big Bear Cabins and Hotels regularly offer mid-week stays in the range of 50% off!

I have personally used this trick in several of the better cabins, hotels, and chalets in Big Bear, and every time I stayed mid-week I found rates at 35% or better. My favorite cabins there, at the Knickerbocker Inn, once gave me a rate well over 50% off in the slow season. I could have stayed at home and spent more that week!

This is an extremely easy way to take a first-class vacation at an affordable price.

If you, like so many Southern Californians have been putting off a Big Bear Cabin ski vacation, or have even been contemplating staying in a hotel there instead of a cabin, do yourself a favor and check out the mid-week rates on some of the nicer cabins and chalets. You’ll be glad you did.
