Unique Threading

Fans of history know that it is somewhat of a rare occurrence to get a glimpse of what life was like centuries ago. Luckily, places like the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens make it possible to revisit history. This amazing structure was built in 1897 and was considered the “castle” because of its distinctive design. It stands as a fine example of lavish Victorian architecture. The home's namesake, Kimberly Crest, donated the property to the city of Redlands and it has been a vital historical link to the area's past ever since. The house is available for tours, but it is suggested that you call ahead to schedule a specific time.

Step “back in the day” to a time when having a cocktail was an experience to be savored. The Marquis Cocktail Lounge still remembers that era, and keeps the tradition of class and distinction very much alive in this charmingly laid-back nightlife venue. There's always relaxing, jazzy music playing and the people here are friendly but smart enough to give you your own space if you would rather just ease back and take it all in. This is a great place for a first date or meeting with a few friends for drinks and conversation.

The two of you can rough it just a little bit while still having some highly comfortable amenities when you plan a romantic getaway to a cabin at Big Bear Lake. These Big Bear destinations will prove to be a uniquely fun and inviting scenario for both of you to get away from it all.
