Want to enjoy one last fling before the hazy, lazy days of summer slip away? Beat the heat and head southwest on I-15 to Big Bear Lake in Southern California.
Drive through tree-laden mountains that touch the sky. Become intoxicated by their fragrances. Feel your pulse race from their splendor.
Big Bear is a small city, but it’s chock full of rustic hotels, motels, inns, and B&Bs. Despite the many restaurants and stores, there is a quiet ease and beauty about the area.
At Hotel Marina Riviera, book a Lakeside King room with an inviting view of the lake. Sit on the secluded balcony and kiss in rhythm with the waves gliding in and out of shore.
Arouse your senses with a luscious cheesecake at Santana & Mavericks. Do not hesitate to share the tasty treat. Let the cake glide off your fork to their lips.
Watch how your partner savors the creamy texture. They will thank you for the sumptuous delight later.
Big Bear Tiki Tours provides a 90-minute tour of the lake from a one-of-a-kind Tiki boat. Sip cocktails, meet other couples, and enjoy the magnificent view of the mountains and lake.
Feed ducks that swim along the boat. Hold one another in the tropical evergreen atmosphere, look between the mountains, and watch the sun set in the pink sky.
Take a trip on the Scenic Sky Chair to enjoy the breathtaking, panoramic views of the San Bernardino National Forest during a mile-long ascent. Hold on tight to one another while the two-seater sky chair climbs for fifteen minutes until reaching the Snow Valley summit.
Hop off and look at the view at a height of 8,200 feet. Cuddle, but don’t get frisky. Any funny business at that height will make you gasp, not only from your antics but from the thin air.
Back at the hotel, under the star-filled sky, snuggle with your honey near the large fire pit in the garden below. Sip sparkling wine while you press into one another against the cool evening breezes. Listen to the crackling fire and let your own fires blaze.
