Living in San Diego means some of California’s best short breaks are just a drive up the road: a lake cabin in the mountains at Big Bear, the sand at Laguna Beach, wine tasting in Temecula, a colourful resort in Palm Springs or a night out in downtown Los Angeles.
TravelDeals24 currently lists nine Southern California offers that work as a weekend or a few days away, from $45 per person per night for a Big Bear Lake cabin with a hot tub to 4-star resort stays in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. All prices are per person based on two travelling together; here is the full list.
The Robinhood Resort sits in Big Bear Lake Village, across the street from the lake shore and close to Snow Summit, the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain and the marina. Rooms come with cozy fireplaces and private in-room spa tubs.
