There is something special about spending the holidays in the mountains. Crisp mountain air, towering pine trees, cozy evenings indoors, and the possibility of fresh snow make Big Bear one of Southern California’s favorite destinations for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and winter family getaways.
For families and groups looking to spend the holidays together, Edgar’s Hideaway offers a spacious Big Bear mountain retreat designed for gathering, relaxing, and having fun under one roof.
Located in Upper Moonridge near Bear Mountain, Edgar’s Hideaway offers nearly 5,000 square feet of space, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 16 guests.
That makes Edgar’s Hideaway especially well suited for extended families, multiple families traveling together, holiday reunions, ski trips, and groups that want plenty of room to enjoy their time together.
Instead of separating everyone among different hotel rooms or smaller cabins, the entire group can gather under one roof.
The large chef’s kitchen and generous dining and living areas also make holiday meals part of the experience. Whether you are preparing Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas breakfast, or a New Year’s Eve feast, there is room to cook, eat, relax, and celebrate together.
Winter weather is part of the fun in Big Bear, but a great mountain vacation should not depend entirely on what is happening outside.
Edgar’s Hideaway offers an extensive game room and indoor entertainment, giving guests plenty to do after a day on the mountain—or when everyone simply wants to stay in.
Challenge the family to Golden Tee, Skee-Ball, shuffleboard, or darts, or turn up the music and enjoy an evening of karaoke.
After a day exploring Big Bear, guests can also relax and warm up in the sauna.
For families traveling with children and teenagers, having this much entertainment at the cabin can make a significant difference. There is no need to plan an outside activity for every hour of the vacation. Sometimes the best part of a mountain getaway is simply staying in and enjoying the house.
The holidays are about bringing the family together—and for many families, that includes the dogs.
Edgar’s Hideaway is pet friendly, making it easier to bring your four-legged family members along for the Big Bear adventure instead of arranging boarding while everyone else heads to the mountains.
Edgar’s Hideaway is located in Upper Moonridge near Bear Mountain, putting guests close to skiing, snowboarding, hiking, dining, shopping, and the many attractions that make Big Bear a favorite Southern California mountain destination.
During the holiday season, visitors can spend their days enjoying the mountain and exploring Big Bear, then return to a spacious private home where the entire group can spend the evening together.
And not every day needs an itinerary. Cook a big breakfast, play games, watch movies, enjoy the mountain surroundings, or simply spend time together.
That is what a holiday getaway should be about.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for a multi-generational family getaway.
Instead of gathering for only a few hours around the dinner table, turn Thanksgiving into a mountain weekend together.
Prepare Thanksgiving dinner in the chef’s kitchen, spend the afternoon competing in the game room, explore Big Bear during the day, and settle in for a relaxed evening with family and friends.
For families traveling from throughout Southern California, Thanksgiving at Edgar’s Hideaway can turn the traditional holiday gathering into an experience everyone remembers.
Big Bear has a special atmosphere during the Christmas season.
Pine trees, mountain scenery, cold winter evenings, seasonal activities, and the possibility of snow provide the traditional holiday setting that can be difficult to find elsewhere in Southern California.
At Edgar’s Hideaway, Christmas morning, holiday meals, games, and evenings together can all happen in one home.
With accommodations for up to 16 guests, there is room to bring grandparents, children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends together for a true family Christmas in the mountains.
Big Bear is also a great place to welcome the New Year.
Spend the day enjoying everything the mountain has to offer, then return to Edgar’s Hideaway for dinner, games, karaoke, and your own New Year’s celebration.
For several families or a group of friends traveling together, the cabin itself becomes part of the destination.
