Daily Deal: Big Bear Lake flash sale for Memorial Day weekend

If the pine trees, hiking trails and clear blue skies of the San Bernardino Mountains are calling to you, hop online fast or grab a phone. Big Bear Lake is kicking off the vacation season with a flash sale for Memorial Day weekend.

But you need to act fast: The sale lasts just 72 hours, from 9 a.m. Monday (today) through 9 a.m, Thursday.

The deal: Big Bear Lake Resort Assn. is offering 50% off lodging accommodations for a three-night holiday weekend stay.

When: Friday-May 27.

Details: The Memorial Day weekend special offer is a one-time 72-hour sale that is available online or by phone from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday of this week. A three-night stay is required for the special, which is valid for new reservations only. The special must be mentioned at the time of booking; there is limited availability, participating lodges only, blackout dates and other restrictions may apply, and it cannot be used with any other specials or promotions. I was able to take a sneak peek at the website and found many reduced prices at lodges, including the Grey Squirrel Resort, where the cabin I looked at was reduced from $414 for the three-night holiday to $207.

Info: (800) 424-4232.
