Market Overview
Angelus Oaks is a tiny unincorporated mountain community of about 535 people at roughly 5,800 feet elevation in the San Bernardino National Forest, on State Route 38 between Redlands and Big Bear Lake. It functions mainly as a gateway and trailhead hub, drawing regional day-trippers and weekenders from the Los Angeles/Inland Empire area for hiking, mountain biking, and forest recreation, plus travelers passing through toward Big Bear. StaySTRA tracks Angelus Oaks’ short-term rental data at the San Bernardino Mountains regional level, shared with Forest Falls, Green Valley Lake, and Skyforest, so the figures below describe that regional mountain market rather than Angelus Oaks alone. The San Bernardino Mountains area averaged a $288.26 ADR and 39.5% occupancy in June 2026, the most recent month tracked, producing $113.93 RevPAR and $2,980 in average monthly revenue. Year over year, occupancy is up 4.2% and revenue is up 3.6%, even as ADR fell 7.1%, a pattern of more bookings at a lower average rate. The market has been volatile since 2017: it averaged 31.9% occupancy and a $306 ADR that year, spiked to 54.9% occupancy during the 2020 mountain-getaway boom, and has since settled back to a 34% to 36% occupancy range with ADR in the $310 to $346 band from 2022 through 2025. Listing-type and bedroom-count data are tracked at that same shared regional level, so this profile omits a breakdown by unit type or bedroom count.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Angelus Oaks is unincorporated San Bernardino County, so short-term rentals are governed by the county’s STR ordinance rather than a city code. STRs, stays of 30 days or less, are permitted and actively licensed here because the community sits in the county’s Mountain region, one of only two regions, Mountain and Desert, where the county accepts STR applications; the Valley region is excluded entirely. Every unit needs a Short-Term Residential Rental Unit Permit from County Code Enforcement. Under the fee schedule effective July 1, 2025, a new application costs about $1,144, and permits are renewed annually, $550 if nothing changes, up to $1,144 with occupancy or physical changes. Operators must also register for and collect a 7% Transient Occupancy Tax on stays under 30 days. Owner-occupancy and primary-residence status are not required, so investor-owned STRs are allowed, but ownership is capped at 2 permits per person, and parcels under 2 acres are limited to 1 permit (2 permits on parcels of 2 or more acres). Occupancy is capped at 12 overnight guests per unit, and a 24-hour local contact must respond to complaints, typically within one hour. There is no stated annual cap on rental nights. Enforcement is classified as moderate but backed by real penalties: unpermitted operation or ordinance violations draw roughly $1,000 per violation per day, escalating to $2,000 and $5,000 for repeat offenses.
Market Comparison
Nationally, short-term rentals typically run around 55% occupancy and a $220 ADR. The San Bernardino Mountains area’s June 2026 figures, 39.5% occupancy and a $288.26 ADR, run well below the national occupancy benchmark while running above the national ADR benchmark, consistent with a small-inventory mountain market that commands premium rates but fills less consistently outside its two peak windows. Property manager market share and per-listing-type performance data are not yet published for this area, so a direct comparison to competing operators or unit types is not possible here. San Bernardino County’s permit structure, capped at 2 permits per person and limited by parcel size, also constrains how much any single operator or property manager can scale in this market, which likely contributes to the fragmented, small-operator character typical of these mountain communities.
