Vacation at Military Resorts 

 

When I travel, I take a look to vacation at military resorts in the area I am going to. Having stayed at the Hale Koa military resort in Hawaii, and at the A Frames at Lake Tahoe (Picture on left), I enjoyed them both! Besides saving a ton of travel money, they do an excellent job with the upkeep and you are assured that you will not be disappointed!

 

You need to book early at most military resorts, check the sites to see what the window is for booking a reservation. You cannot book out a year in advance, so this may not be best for your travel needs.

 

Active duty military, Guard and Reserve along with military retired veteran personnel are all welcome here. Just remember that active duty have priority, and sometimes they are even limited access due to TDY and PCS personnel!

 

Lake Tahoe Cabin Rentals: The Coast Guard has a beautiful facility and it is not expensive! Rent an A Frame cabin and enjoy Lake Tahoe and all that it has to offer. This is open to Active Duty, Guard, Reserve and government employees.

 

Big Bear Lake - Provides you military discounts if you are thinking about going to this location in California! You can receive discounts of up to 50% off.
