You can choose spas like Altitudes Massage & Spa, Elevations Day Spa, Hideaway Salon & Spa, or Canna Massage and Wellness.

Outside
Just stepping out of your rental is relaxing. Enjoy time on spacious patios, decks, or balconies. Many rentals have views of the water, mountains, or are tucked away in secluded spots just for you. When you stay at a lake though, some of the area’s relaxing activities take place on the water or the waterfront. Get some sun, sit and read a book, or let the water lap on your bare feet during a walk near the waves.
If the most relaxing outdoor place for you includes a rod and reel, there are a variety of places around the lake where you can drop a line, sit back, and relax until you hook your next great fish story!
If your idea of relaxing in Big Bear is a good hike with a breathtaking view at the end, Big Bear has a number of trails from beginner to expert that result in breathtaking views and quiet places to enjoy some rest and relaxation after the hike.
Wineries
Another great way to relax and unwind is with a good glass of wine. Adults of the group can relax with an experience just for them. There are dozens of wineries and vineyards throughout California, including some right in Big Bear. Barrel 33 and Wolf Creek Resort are located right in Big Bear. Sycamore Ranch Vineyard & Winery in Lake Arrowhead, North Cork Vineyard & Winery in Yucaipa, and Snow-Line Orchard in Oak Glen are all further afield, but worth the drive. Select locales offer tastings, tours, and other private events where just you and your group can relax and unwind.
Restaurants
Your vacation rental provided by Big Bear Vacations has a fully equipped kitchen. You can make your favorite home-cooked meals right at your rental when you want to relax and not go out.

Relax knowing everything about the meal, from prep and cooking to setting the table and serving is all taken care of by someone else. You don’t have to lift a finger other than to enjoy your meal.

Some peoples’ idea of relaxing is anywhere they can have a good drink in their hand.
