Its position, only a seven-minute walk from the lake, gives way to panoramic views of the mountains and Boulder Bay. Appreciate it from the hot tub or around the fire pit on the elevated terrace. Kayak rental is an option – you'll find the hire store side by side with shops and restaurants a short stroll away. As for the home, it's homely and spacious, and the private bar and small cinema room with a projector are a nice bonus.

Welcoming ten guests, with the option of sleeping four more on sofa beds, this is a great choice for a large family gathering or a group of friends with children in need of some relaxation. The chalet-inspired cabin has everything you need for a few days in Big Bear, from the fully equipped kitchen to a fantastic games room. To top it all off, Oberhof boasts sweeping views over the valley towards the lake for wonderful vistas from the dining room, master bath, and outdoor deck. It’s also brilliantly positioned to get the most out of the town of Big Bear and the lake, both are less than a ten-minute drive away.

Retreat to this snug and stylish cabin after a day on the slopes at Bear Mountain. Sequestered in the forest and close to Big Bear Lake, this two-bedroom home is perfect for those families looking to get outside in both snow and shine. It’s not just the gambrel-style architecture that gives this 1970s home its charm, but the rustic and industrial interior. Pull back the bench at the dinner table and warm your snow-covered toes in front of a roaring red brick fireplace. We especially love the farmhouse-style combination of wood and white-panelled walls. Entertaining the children is easy in this home, with board games, foosball, a BBQ and hot tub. Though, we think adults may prefer to make a beeline for the tub first and steal a moment of peace. Don’t forget to bring along your pampered-pooch, this home is dog friendly.

For a truly relaxing vacation, take a step back in history and enjoy the simpler things in life with a stay in this cosy cabin. It welcomes four guests looking to spend a few days appreciating crackling fires, home-cooked meals and all that nature has to offer in this breathtaking part of California. Neatly tucked into the edge of Sugarloaf, you'll find yourself amongst the stunning scenery of the San Bernadino Mountains, its magnificent hiking trails, abundance of wildlife, and just a short way from the beautiful, fish-filled Big Bear Lake. Still, you'll also be close to the shops, restaurants and bars in the town of Sugarloaf. So, if you're after an escape to nature without having to give up on great local amenities, then The Log Cab-Inn is an excellent choice.

If, like us, you often dream of slowing down and getting away to a log cabin, Ad Astra is somewhere that you’ll want to bookmark. Doritina’s done the place up with a lot of soul, and her hosting really shines through in both the design and the service. She’s very friendly, and always happy to give some tips and recommendations for the local area. Of course, the big attraction is the lake, and all the outdoor activities that come with it. Whether you’re tempted by kayaking, fishing or hiking, there’s something for you. And if you’ve tired yourself out, the home itself is a wonderful place to while away the evenings, with a stone fireplace, Netflix, and plenty of blankets and pillows to curl up in.

Spread across three floors, the five-bedroom home can accommodate up to ten guests, with the option of sleeping two further guests on a sofa bed in the living room. Featuring an open-plan living area, there’s an open and social feel to the space that makes it perfect for a group of friends or a family to spend quality time together, whether that’s getting cosy in front the fire, preparing delicious meals or enjoying the brand new games room featuring skeeball, arcade games, table tennis and a shuffleboard. Out on your private deck, you’ll be blown away by uninterrupted views of the landscape, the outdoor fire pit and an alfresco dining setup. When you’re ready to venture out, you’re just a ten-minute drive from Lake Arrowhead Village and all it has to offer.

Surrounded by ten acres of stunning desert landscape in the Yucca Valley, this remarkable net-zero energy home really is the epitome of a secluded getaway.

With glass sliding doors in each room inviting you to step out into the wild beauty outside, there’s a seamless flow between indoors and outdoors making this home feel completely at one with the Mojave Desert. We love the balcony equipped with a sun chair – accessed via the master bedroom and living room – and the outdoor shower that will get any morning off to a refreshing start. Spend the day hiking around your sun-drenched house, taking in the majesty of the ancient junipers, weathered boulders, desert oaks and piñon pines, or hop in your car to visit Joshua Tree National Park, just a twenty-minute drive away. After a day of adventuring, come back home for drinks around the fire pit before firing up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. Then end the night with a soak in the hot tub while you watch the night sky turn into a blanket of shimmering stars.

With two fully equipped kitchens, several lounges (inside and outside), and three en-suite bedrooms, this stunning home caters to those looking for a combination of privacy and social spaces. 

The Spanish hacienda-style home dates back to the 1950s, but it’s received a modern update with a healthy dose of mid-century modern furniture (you are after all in Palm Springs). The backyard is, without a doubt, the heart of the home. We loved the pool with jaw-dropping mountain views, and the fire pit that sets the scene for many nights spent stargazing in great company.

Wake up feeling energised and embark on challenging early morning hikes within a mile of your home, returning in time for brunch in one of the innovative farm-to-fork restaurants that you'll find tucked away in Downtown, a five-minute drive north. Afterwards, while away your days soaking up the sun by the saltwater pool, setting up a table football tournament in the games room and tucking into tantalising home-cooked meals beneath the pergola.

This showstopper is here to attract the architectural fans — so don't tell us you haven't noticed the deconstructed minimalism and the statement furniture to go with it. Smoking Pixels is a treat for the eyes, filling every corner of the home, as well as its considerable exterior with something beautiful. If you choose this home, you'll be greeted by the sun as soon as you wake up. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit in the perfectly manicured garden, then go for a swim in the saltwater pool and admire the symmetry of your holiday home. Keep relaxing or try out take the car out to Palm Springs or Indio. When you're back, get the fire pit going and wait for the stars to show, then retreat to the majestic lounge and watch a movie together with your loved ones.

Dew Drop combines relaxed West Coast living with the best of Cape Cod's design, for a beach-front home that is sure to put its guests at ease. Its position between Santa Barbara and Malibu means that it’s a little bit quieter than your standard California beach retreat, but the centre of Oxnard is still easy to reach. The gentle, nautical colour scheme perfectly matches the home's impressive views and provides a comfortable and homely space in a serene setting. Whether you want to make yourself at home in the living room and snuggle up with a great book or spend your time exploring the beach and its surroundings (Alfred provides beach chairs and body boards), Dew Drop has something for everyone.

With a Cali-cool aesthetic and a backyard that transforms into the perfect playground, your home is a welcoming and inviting place to stay for the whole family. Fire up the grill and enjoy alfresco dining on the patio or relax by the sparkling pool — the interior of the home offers a neutral palette and top-of-the-range cabinetry. After a full day of sightseeing, soak in the bath while the kids retire to their bedrooms.

Outdoor enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with the stunning Sequoia National Park a two-hour drive away. Or travel up to the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range for jaw-dropping views of the Californian landscape. 
Go fishing in Kern River Canyon connecting to the Southern San Joaquin Valley. 

Closer to home in downtown Bakersfield — a sixteen-minute drive away, reserve a table at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace - a restaurant and music venue. Sports enthusiasts will want to take in a game at Sam Lynn Ballpark while art lovers are invited to marvel at the selection of sculptures and paintings on display at Bakersfield Museum of Art.

Forest cabins generally have an old-world feel to them but not this modern beauty. Built out on stilts at the top of a hill and set over three floors – each with a deck to make the most of the views – this home looks out across the woods to the mountains. Set on the edge of the Pine Mountain Club community, shared local facilities include an outdoor pool, golf course and tennis courts. Inside the cabin, there's a distinct Skandi look, with white walls, plenty of natural wood and occasional bright pops of colour. A log burner up on a brick-built hearth is the centrepiece of the double-height living space, while large picture windows and sliding doors make sure you see your surroundings from every seat in the house. There's a modern kitchen and an office area if you have to get some work done while you're away, and a children's playroom – making it perfect for families. Choose a spot to sit outside with a cool beer, or head up to the barbecue deck to use the grill. And after a long hike on the trails, steam away your aches and pains in the home's sauna.

Live the jet-set lifestyle at this Palm Springs villa of grand entrances and epic proportions. On arrival you’ll discover an elegant Spanish colonial-style home, sprawling out luxuriously across one level. Slide open its French doors to reveal interiors worthy of a design magazine cover – vaulted ceilings, lofty bedrooms (each with their own bathroom and patio), and an achingly-cool living space that begs to be lounged around in. 

Carrying on outside, through magnificent gardens, you’ll discover a contemporary two-storey pool house that brings this place right into the 21st century, with one of the most well-equipped gyms we ever did see. But the star of the show has to be the pool and gardens. With 360-degree mountain vistas, soaring palm trees, lush lawns, and hummingbirds busy going about their day, there is no better place to be. Start the day with a few lengths in the pool and soak in the spa, before settling down on one of the many sun decks to catch some rays. 

When it’s time to rustle up a meal, fire up the barbecue in the impressive outdoor dining area, while friends gather around the fire pit. Or let a private chef take over in the gourmet kitchen, complete with a wine fridge and built-in coffee maker to cover off all the essentials. And should you be tempted to stray from this desert retreat, you’ll find downtown Palm Springs a mere fifteen minutes drive away. Though why you’d ever want to leave is anyone’s guess.

Set in over an acre of private desert, The Sundial is as characteristic a piece of modern desert architecture as you’ll see. The home is enveloped by the stillness and tranquility that comes with such isolation – evenings spent on the terrace beneath the stars offer a different speed of life to the city. The views of the national park at sunset are breathtaking, and the way that the interiors open up to nature, framing the vistas, is unique. It’s also worth mentioning that the location is pretty convenient. Despite the feeling of complete seclusion, downtown Joshua Tree is about five minutes away, with Palm Springs less than hour. And Michael and his team go the extra mile in their levels of service, providing a dedicated hospitality concierge in order to help you arrange anything you want or need.

Go to bed after watching the spectacular sunset over the Pacific and wake up to the sound of the crashing waves at this jaw-dropping beachfront home in the surfside city of San Clemente. 

Contemporary coastal cool is the order of the day, with plenty of light wood, fresh blue furnishings and pristine white walls, all accentuated by the sunlight that pours in 342 days a year through large windows and retractable glass doors that look out over the ocean.

There's plenty of space for all the family, with large open living spaces, a stunning modern kitchen with eye-catching quartz worktops, a dedicated games room with a billiards table, plus a lovely office to make the idea of working while on holiday a little more palatable. 

Sleeping arrangements are taken care of across five spacious bedrooms. A large loft room packed with games and a console allows you to leave the kids to it as you enjoy a glass of something cold out on the covered terrace, or lay out on a lounger on the promontory pointing out to sea.

If the call of the ocean proves too much, you won't have to walk far to access Lost Winds beach below. With consistent surf, volleyball courts, and the opportunity to jog or cycle along the 2.6-mile beach trail, there's plenty on offer here. However, seasoned surfers might want to check out nearby breaks including Trestles, T Street and San Onofre. Lowers (at Trestles beach) is the best of the bunch and the home of high performance surfing. Sometimes it's best just to sit back and marvel at the pros.

After a day of adrenaline-pumping activity, cooking may well be the last thing on your mind. Handily, San Clemente is home to a wide array of restaurants serving everything from American comfort food, farm-to-table fare and creative Mexican classics washed down with a mescal.


The Dawn Wall

This chic home is an excellent example of mid-century modern architecture, set just two blocks away from iconic Palm Canyon Drive. The effortlessly cool interiors give a nod to the past, with antique style patterned rugs, statement lighting and unique artworks on the walls. Outside, there's a glittering swimming pool, lined with bright white sun loungers and tangerine parasols, where you can take a dip with the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. If you fancy getting active, take a hike up to the peaks, or hop on the aerial tramway to avoid breaking a sweat – either way, you'll be treated to jaw-dropping views over Coachella Valley. Come home for a sundowner on the terrace, before stretching out on the curved green sofas with a classic Hollywood movie.

Craving California

Private Pool

Surrounded by the majestic Santa Rosa mountains and lush, award-winning golf courses, this desert home is a great base for nearby adventures and trips to local restaurants. If golf isn't your thing – it's just a fifteen-minute walk to the beautiful Fred Wolff Nature Preserve, where you'll find hiking and cycle trails aplenty. You may not want to leave your villa, though, with its pool which provides hours of entertainment and a welcome break from the summer heat. Admire the breathtaking mountain views while you dine on the terrace or as the light fades, watch the desert night sky sparkle. This home's interior has a fun splash of colour and ample space for hanging out with family or with friends – we love it.

When architect, Malek Alqadi combined astute environmentalism with his exquisite taste, he didn't just create this home, he sparked a revolution in sustainable tourism. Set on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park, guests take the lead in operating this clean yet luxurious off-grid space. Think serious stargazing sessions through a telescope, showering by a boulder, and falling asleep under the desert sky with a crackling fireplace at your feet—the second bedroom is open to the elements, with no walls or ceiling. And it's packed with technology too. You can measure your energy consumption, change your light settings and set cooling and heating temperatures of the space. Wrapped in salvaged weathering steel and up-cycled details, it raises the bar on stylish, conscious travel.

Located in buzzing Orange, this stylish apartment has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay right at your fingertips. Not only are you surrounded by shopping centres and restaurants, but the building has tons of swoon-worthy amenities, too. Break a sweat in the 24-hour fitness centre, spend lazy afternoons lounging in the cabanas by the resort-style pool, enjoy an evening soak in the hot tub before warming up by the outdoor firepit or challenge someone to a game of billiards in the communal lounge. 

Barbecues, ping-pong tables, business centres, even a 24/7 coffee bar – this place has it all, and the apartment itself isn't too shabby, either. There's a relaxed vibe inside with shades of bright whites and cool blues, making it the perfect respite from a day in the California sunshine. When you're in the mood to cook, the kitchen is stocked with cutlery and cookware to make self-catering easy – just pull up a stool and enjoy a meal around the breakfast bar. We also love the private balcony, which is a sweet spot to nurse your morning coffee before heading out for the day. Speaking of exploring, this is a great locale for day trips – Disneyland is a ten-minute drive, Newport Beach is reachable in twenty minutes and downtown LA is only a half-hour by car.
