Cabin Fever has been a much-loved vacation rental since May 2013 with hundreds of wonderful reviews. Many guests have now returned multiple times. We have our first guest coming this year for the 15th time and many quite a few times. We are constantly updating and adding to the cabin and you'll find it immaculate.

Like to get away from it all but have the luxuries of home? Come away to this delightful, enchanting, cabin-in-the-woods. Slip back in time with the mountain-milled, cedar log siding and deck. This cabin makes your heart smile!

A stone fireplace is waiting for you with a rustic mantel claimed from the forest floor. Cozy up in front of the fire on comfortable leather furniture with some vintage antiques woven in.

Modern amenities start with the fully stocked, kitchen and bath with granite counters and a washer/dryer. There is a 50 inch 'Smart TV' to turn on for your favorite music , or watch a movie, and enjoy our high speed internet and Apple TV with so many options using your devices. Built in Mini-splits with both AC and heat on each level to click on while you get a warm fire going.

Browse from our library of books that take you back in time to days gone by, or inspire, intrigue or motivate. When was the last time you played Dominos? We have a collection of games to choose from, plus a few books and toys for the children.

Where will you sleep?
Upstairs is the bedroom with a queen bed and reading nook. Close the black-out drapes, turn on the Sound Soother if you'd like, and settle in to sleep in.
Across from the bedroom, above the living area is a ramp to a loft with 2x2s to prevent slipping but not comfortable barefoot. (Wish there was room for stairs!) There are two, twin mattresses suitable for children, since an adult can not stand up because of a low ceiling. The kids we've met at the cabin absolutely love the loft.

Bathroom
The only bathroom is downstairs. Nightlights, light the stairs and the bathroom. There is a Pack N Play for your little ones.

Palomar is a place to 'not do' too. Enjoy our propane barbecue while soaking up the sun on the deck and take in the chorus of birds, get lost in a favorite book or one of ours.
A trip to Palomar is not complete without going to the world famous Observatory (closed during snow). Browse the General Store and visit the Boucher Fire Lookout. (Our only restaurant is closed for repairs). You can take off on a hike on the many miles of trails in the State Park and National Forest or fish in Doane Pond.

There are several 'Field Trips' within walking distance to visit one farm with chickens, turkeys, goats and sheep for fresh goat cheese, milk and eggs. Our Palomar Roaster imports organic coffee and is a short hike up the road.

There are also wonderful day trips from Cabin Fever. However, one couple planned lots of outings but a couple days later, when they were checking out, totally relaxed, said, 'Next time maybe we will venture out of the cabin. It has such a wonderful ambiance and we loved it so much that we just had to stay in the entire time'. We have lots of options waiting for you at our Fun Things to Do link provided on this page, right above those nice Reviews that have come our way. Keep scrolling...

You're invited to be our guest and come away to Cabin Fever!

Definitely check out the Observatory while you're up here." - "Very comfortable and peaceful place for time away from work.

Bonnie was very responsive when we had a small issue. Great hosts! We would absolutely stay here again!"

The house was kept clean and a fire pit set up for a nice camp fire!" - "I decided to take my partner here for a late Valentine's day gift and I wasn't disappointed.

- "I was looking for a quiet space to get away for a while and this was perfect. It's basic but fantastic location with access to lots of hiking trails, outdoor activities, within a short drive. Bring your own hair dryer, but all the other amenities are provided. The location is beautiful." - "Great place for a quiet trip away from it all!" - "This cabin was perfect for the little weekday getaway I was after. It’s a small quaint place perfect for two. It had all the amenities we were looking for; full kitchen, bathroom, shower, patio, and dining space. We spent most of the days up near Julian or hiking the Santa Ysabel Open Space reserve as recommended by the host. Our cabin was the perfect place to come home too after a long hike or stuffing up on pie! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore Julian or Santa Ysabel."

- "We throughly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts explained the check-in process very thoroughly, including how to find the cabin. Can’t wait to return!" - "No complaints really. Everything was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Heaters ran very quietly and reliably. Communication was clear. Netflix was a bit challenging to figure out. But we eventually managed. Bring plenty of bottled water, as there is apparently a lot of iron in the water there. Doesn't taste good. Was helpful to have the full kitchen. And our dogs enjoyed themselves as well! Definitely recommend overall."

Cabin #12 is a spacious & upscale stand-alone, two bedroom cabin which has been completely remodeled and sleeps four adults.

- "Absolutely easy check in. Cabin was very clean. Amazing views. Nice and quiet area. Very cozy feeling when you walk in. Only thing I would even have to say was, wish there was a fire pit outside. However, that does not take away from the amazing experience. Thank you so much for being able to enjoy with my family." - "Everything about this gem is wonderful! Perfect location for those of us visiting Josie's. The view from the porch is breathtakingly beautiful. It's quite, completely updated, both beds and shower are amazing. If you're on a bike, FYI the road is gravel but completely manageable. Property Manager was great too. Super flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be back for another getaway ♥️"

- "There was no liquid fire at all so we couldn’t use the fireplace" - "Nice, peaceful place to stay" - "Perfect for a solo traveler like me. It rained the night I arrived and most of the next day, so I was glad for the wood stove. The site manager allowed me to check in a little early and came quickly with a battery for the smoke alarm when I asked. Clean, great view of the valley. " - "Overall the place is very nice. The views from the cabin were amazing and the cabin is super clean and modern. They definitely put in effort to make the place nice. That being said, there's always some things that I think future travelers should know. The property does have a bar/restaurant at the bottom of the hill that is SUPER busy and loud on Saturdays. It's a biker bar and seems to get pretty crowded. You can't hear the bar from the cabins very much, but you DEFINITELY hear the Harleys etc. If you're goal is solitude and meditation, the sounds can be a bit jarring. That's probably not the case on weekdays, but Saturdays are busy. Finally, in the middle of my stay I heard several minutes of gunshots in the afternoon. I spoke with the property manager who said the neighboring property is owned by a person who "just shoots sometimes". That is not my idea of relaxation but not sure much can be done about that. But I do feel it's important for future travelers to know. I despise guns, so maybe that's just my hang up. Overall a wonderful stay and would recommend to others despite some of the noted anomalies. Cheers."

- "Nice place! Great hosts! " - "Great place to stay - everything you need is there (kitchen utensils, plates, cups even coffee sweetener).

- "Fun little getaway" - "A really nice spot to clear your mind. Room was clean and well organized. Any problems I had were solved immediately. Wood burning stove puts out a lot of heat! But there is an electric heater/ac if needed. There is a restaurant /bar on site that is very good. Only two downside for me was the bed being a bit spongy to sleep on and every once in a while a super loud motercycle drives by, but it's fleeting. Not a huge deal. I would definitely stay again."

Cabin #1 is a stylishly furnished, spacious & modest stand-alone cabin which, like all our cabins, has been completely remodeled. It is nestled on a hillside close to the forest which offers a perfect buffer from the huslte and bustle, but also beautiful partial views of the valley below through the majestic oak trees. There's loads of filtered sunlight to set the right mood and to make your stay even more memorable, we offer a wood-burning fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, large flat screen TV, and a cozy reading nook.

- "It's in the woods, but close to a biker bar. They were amazingly respectful of noise and were gone by 6PM on a Saturday night, so while the live entertainment was nice during the day and into early evening, it was quiet and peaceful at night. The cabin has all the basic needs and is very comfortable." - "Small cozy cabin in a good location in close proximity to Julian, Ramona, and other popular areas. Check-in/out was simple. Recommend for couples looking to take a vacation. We brought our dogs along and it was perfect for us!"

The Real Teal (Vintage Camper Trailer #1) is a vintage retro camper that offers a complete glamping experience! Located closest to the top of Hideout Mountain, the backdrop of breathtaking views of Lake Henshaw and the surrounding SD Mountain Range will leave you awe inspired. Staying in a little camper has never looked this cool or been this easy! Simply drive-up, park your car and immerse yourself in nature at the San Diego Mountain Lodge. With a full kitchen, huge private patio space equipped with a BBQ, picnic table & bar height table. To set the nighttime vibe we have a fire pit and string lights.
The Real Teal is a pet-free stationary camper with a full-size bed. There is a bathroom with a flushing toilet inside the trailer and an outdoor shower with hot water just steps away.

This is retro camper is just one of the many options to stay at Hideout Mountain. We are a boutique retreat destination on 40 acres of unspoiled wilderness with an unbelievably cool, one-of-a-kind historic bar and grill called Josie’s Hideout Saloon. Open Friday-Sunday till 5, with live music every weekend, weather permitting.

Don't think that our backcountry locals are the only wildlife around here! This place is full of wild animals like deer, fox, raccoons, bats, ground squirrels and chipmunks. Keep a steady eye open for rattlesnakes, badgers and mountain lions, oh my! Make some noise so they know you're coming. Be not afraid, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your ear's peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County! We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.

- "My husband, pup, and I live in San Diego, but wanted to get out of town. We found this RV at SD mountain lodge and it was perfect. We drove right up, check in was seamless, we enjoy the RV, patio, and fire pit. It was the perfect location to get to the Eagle Rock hiking trail we wanted to do. The kitchen was fully equipped with a fridge and electric stove. We brought premade food from Trader Joe’s and heated everything up easily." - "Wanted a one night getaway to destress. This place was very quaint and was perfect for the one night. Online manager answered all my questions and was very helpful. Allowed us to check in early (upon paying a fee). Some of the info about Josie's hideaway was not up to date as well as the early check in fee but it did not deter us from staying here. Will be back again."

Cabin #6, like all our cabins, has been completely remodeled. It is nestled on a hill with literally some of the best valley views around! The duplex cabin is spacious, yet stylishly furnished and has a large porch shared with Cabin #5. It also has its own patio furniture, a wood-burning stove, full-size fridge and fully-loaded kitchen complete with granite countertops, a 40" flat screen TV, Wi-Fi, microwave, Keurig coffee machine with pods, creamer, and sugar included, recessed lighting, ceiling fan and an AC/heater to make your stay even more comfortable.
This is the perfect duplex for a larger family of four! The kids can do their thing in Cabin #5, while mom and dad can kick it old school next door in Cabin #6! So close, yet so NOT far enough away? Don't worry, we can get you set up in a much larger, more private cabin elsewhere on the property! Sorry kids, one day you'll understand!
Unlike Duplex Cabins 3 and 4, Cabins 5 and 6 have their own separate bedrooms, plus a full kitchen. Similarly, all four duplex cabins have the TVs mounted in the bedrooms, so no couch action here! We're getting right down to business with a movie in bed!
Speaking of getting down to business...we knew if we built it, they would come! This cabin is one of 11 to choose from at the San Diego Mountain Lodge located at Hideout Mountain- a boutique retreat destination on 40 acres of unspoiled nature with an unbelievably cool, one-of-a-kind historic bar and grill called Josie’s Hideout Saloon.

Be not afraid though, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your other ear peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County! We're also very proud to be a birder's paradise with more woodland birds here than you can shake a stick at! How about a chance to see (and hear!) turkeys, owls, scrub jays, cardinals, woodpeckers, hawks, vultures and even the Western Tanager to name a few! Stroll the grounds and let us know what you discover! We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.
Before you turn in for the night, don't forget there is a community fire pit down by Josie's Backyard to enjoy the incredible night sky, while offering the perfect place to meet other interesting guests and enjoy a nightcap after a fulfilling day of local activities with your friends and loved ones. Firewood may be available for purchase on site, otherwise Lake Henshaw or the the Santa Ysabel Roadside Convenience Store and Gas Station are your closest markets for anything you might need.

- "Super cute place!" - "It was a fun, cozy experience! We loved it! Wished there were more activities to do :)" - "VRBO was clean and updated. Very small - which was expected. However we were unaware that the cabin is attached to another cabin, and the walls were thin. We wanted to get away for the weekend specifically to get away from the noise and crowds, and unfortunately the walls were very thin and we could hear everything in our neighboring cabin (and i'm sure they could hear us as well)... well kept, but not the quiet getaway we were hoping for."

- "My boyfriend and I stayed here for our Anniversary weekend and this little cabin was perfect! Amazing views, picnic tables and hammock chairs out front, wood burning stove, full kitchen. We had to salvage our own kindling wood outside because there were only large logs inside. Would recommend this to my friends and would definitely stay here again!" - "Small but very well appointed. Very clean, great location. Walked down to Josie’s Hideout Sunday afternoon for a burger and music. Cabin is just about half way between Santa Ysabel and Julian and lots of hiking trails nearby."

The Bluebird cabin is the perfect get away for a chance to relax, recharge, connect with nature, or spend some quality family time.

Additional rules
1. No open fires, BBQ must be supervised at all times when in use, no BBQ on the porch/patio

2. Close patio umbrella when not in use, especially on a windy day

- "Our adult sons met us at this cabin for a family Bday gathering. The Bluebird Cabin was extra special! Quiet. Immaculate. Cute welcoming decor. Towels, sheets, bedding like you might enjoy in a Marriott! Extra blankets and pillows. Large TV with Netflix logged in. Kitchen was clean and organized. Everything you might need was provided: appliances, dishes, silverware, dishwasher, hot pads, knives, serving utensils. It felt like home! Loved every minute there."

Unique stays are what San Diego Mountain Lodge is all about, and we proudly present “The Raven”, our first tiny home created and owned by Bucket List Stays LLC.

- "Awesome time , especially during mid week Suggestion, you might inform future guests Especially if older that the loft is a challenge I have bad knees and it was somewhat of a struggle to get back down. That said , the stay, property and staff were top notch! We plan on coming back soon and most likely will move to a cabin only because of the ladder to loft, thanks again Doug J" - "Cozy and clean..beautiful Mountain Views. I just wanted a quiet place to relax and this fit the bill nicely!"

The Partridge nest is under a canopy of cedar, fir, and oak tees with windows all around. The space is light and airy with many nearby hiking trails. This cute cabin has been beautifully restored and includes all the conveniences of home. It has been described as sweet and cozy. This is the perfect romantic getaway, or fun quality time for a small family.

- "Everything was easy and in order. Super cute place just the right size for the two of us and our two pups. Very clean and lots of little amenities. We only stayed overnight and left in the morning darkness to an event but we will likely come back for another stay and do some relaxing! Host was excellent and timely in all communications! 🤗" - "This cabin is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle and unplug. My husband and I along with our two dogs have found our favorite place to escape too. Such a warm cozy cabin with some of the best decor I could have imagined. We found ourselves just looking around finding new details the whole trip. Thank you so much Monica for making this weekend one to remember."

- "Great tiny house on Palomar Mountain. It was clean and as described. It is tiny but a good layout. I went for a romantic get away but the power went out, we couldn’t cook dinner or take a hot shower. It was freezing cold at night without the heater working. The owner did not respond to the electrical issue until the next day when we were checking out. The upstairs loft bed didn’t have a curtain for any privacy. The unit is very close to others on either side. The access codes didn’t work and it took us 30 minutes to get in. They offered a discount for an upcoming stay but should have offered a partial refund. "

Immerse yourself in the wonders of Palomar Mountain with the most incredible views perched 5,000 feet above sea level. Located in San Diego’s breathtaking back country, the home is a modern masterpiece forged of steel and glass spanning 21 acres with floor-to-ceiling windows and a near-zero carbon footprint.

Other things to note
Our Airbnb property is located in a rural area, and as such, there is a possibility of encountering rattlesnakes on the property. While we have taken measures to minimize the presence of snakes, it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of encountering wildlife in a natural setting.

We strongly advise all guests to exercise caution when exploring the property, and to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Please avoid walking through tall grass or brush, as these areas may provide a hiding spot for snakes. Stay on the cleared pathways and use flashlight after dark when stepping outside.

If you do come across a rattlesnake, please keep a safe distance and do not attempt to approach or handle it. Rattlesnakes are venomous and can pose a danger to humans and pets. It is important to remain calm and still to prevent the venom from spreading quickly if bitten.

We want to ensure that your stay is safe and enjoyable, and we appreciate your cooperation and respect for the wildlife on the property. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Please note that there is fire restriction in effect in the area due to the Santa Ana winds. Therefore, wood fire cannot be used at this time.

We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.
The fully stocked kitchen has all the essentials to cook a delicious home-cooked meal (once you go to the market first!) and a Keurig coffee machine for that morning cup o' joe.

Are you looking for a quiet getaway in the trees? Come up to our cabin, with storybook charm. This hideaway on Palomar Mountain is surrounded by large oak cedar and fir trees and it’s a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature

The space
This cabin has a cozy living room with a wood burning stove and a beautiful rock wall and spacious kitchen to cook your meals. Sit and drink your coffee or tea in the sun room, looking out at the mountain side where you will see several different types of birds.
The master bedroom nook with a queen size bed is tucked behind the bathroom. Climb up the attic ladder to two more sleeping spaces, a loft with another queen bed and an attic room with a twin.

The cell coverage up on Palomar Mountain is hit or miss. At this cabin, we have an AT&T booster but most other carriers do not get service. Our family enjoys being disconnected from the rest of the world(as the cabin does not have internet or WiFi); playing games, reading books and taking hikes. We do have a TV and a DVD player with variety movies.

Our cabin located down a dirt road and 4wd is needed to drive and park at the cabin, and for all other vehicles we have parking about 400 feet up the road. When it snows, all vehicles must park up the road at the parking spot.

Scenic views • Essentials • Bathroom • Bedroom and laundry • Family • Mountain view • Hot water • TV • Free washer – In unit • Free dryer – In unit

Cedar Crest is a nicely remodeled cabin while keeping its original charm. It is easy access. A few steps lead you to the deck in the middle of the trees...

This cabin can sleep 2 people in a king bed and if you would like to bring your kids, the master bedroom has a full size futon. (Kids sleep free)

For pet owner, the east side of the cabin has a fenced-in space. We recommend you do not let them be there unsupervised as a motivated mountain lion could jump the fence and arm your pet.

Other things to note
While we are in San Diego County, well known for its very stable climate during the year, we have 4 seasons on the mountain. Be prepared for
- some snow in winter (see access and parking information in the proper section),
- a magnificent Spring, when you can expect to be above the clouds (no May grey and June gloom for us!)
- a hot summer in the 90s with fly season from June to early July (the cabin has AC and we provide natural bug repellents)
- a beautiful Fall, with a mixture of golden foliages with our evergreens...

You should plan on visiting 4 times a year, to experience it all ;)

In winter, when snow is present, remember that chains are required to access Palomar Mountain. They are frequent sheriff/CHP check at the bottom of the mountain to prevent unprepared vehicle access to the mountain.

In case of heavy snow, we will have a spot for you to park at the neighbors place which is on the main road. It will be very close to your own cabin.

Free dryer – In unit • Mountain view • Washer • Cleaning products • Shower gel • Shampoo • Hot water • Hair dryer • Conditioner • Body soap

The space
Cabin #1 is a stylishly furnished, spacious & modest stand-alone cabin which, like all our cabins, has been completely remodeled. It is nestled on a hillside close to the forest which offers a perfect buffer from the huslte and bustle, but also beautiful partial views of the valley below through the majestic oak trees. There's loads of filtered sunlight to set the right mood and to make your stay even more memorable, we offer a wood-burning fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, large flat screen TV, and a cozy reading nook. Along with a huge balcony, we have patio furniture for convenient lounging opportunities to commune with nature!

Don't think that our backcountry locals are the only wildlife around here! This place is full of wild animals like deer, fox, raccoons, bats, ground squirrels and chipmunks. Keep a steady eye open for rattlesnakes, badgers and mountain lions, oh my! Make some noise so they know you're coming. Be not afraid, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your ear's peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County! We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.
The fully stocked kitchen has all the essentials to cook a delicious home-cooked meal (once you go to the market first!) and a Keurig coffee machine for that morning cup o' joe.

Be not afraid though, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your other ear peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County!
We're also very proud to be a birder's paradise with more woodland birds here than you can shake a stick at!
How about a chance to see(and hear!) turkeys, owls, scrub jays, cardinals, wood peckers, hawks, vultures and even the Western Tanager to name a few!

Firewood may be available for purchase on site, otherwise Lake Henshaw is your closest market for anything you might need.

Twin Oaks was built in 1921, it has been nicely remodeled along the way. The original flooring that came from wood milled locally is kept in most of the cabin. You get to be comfortable, and pretend to live like it is the roaring 1920's... in the mountains!

This cabin can sleep 4 people: the master bedroom has a Cal king bed, and the sunroom has 2 twin beds...

You can sleep an additional 2 in the loft queen bed. But this is only accessible for an additional fee ($40/night).

The space
This very private cabin with some of the most amazing views in the mountain could sleep a total of 6 persons:
- 4 people on the main floor: the master bedroom has a Cal king bed, and the sunroom has 2 twin beds...
- an additional 2 in the loft, which has a queen bed is only available for an additional fee ($40/night).

The kitchen is fully equipped, and there are 1.5 bathrooms (incl. combo washer/dryer).

There is an amazing wood stove but if you don't feel like trying it, there is AC and heater at the push of a button...

And there is THE deck with THE views...

Other things to note
While we are in San Diego County, well known for its very stable climate during the year, we have 4 seasons on the mountain. Be prepared for
- some snow in winter (see access and parking information in the proper section),
- a magnificent Spring, when you can expect to be above the clouds (no May grey and June gloom for us!)
- a hot summer in the 90s with fly season from June to early July (the cabin has AC and we provide natural bug repellents)
- a beautiful Fall, with a mixture of golden foliages with our evergreens...

You should plan on visiting 4 times a year, to experience it all ;)

In winter, when snow is present, remember that chains are required to access Palomar Mountain. They are frequent sheriff/CHP check at the bottom of the mountain to prevent unprepared vehicle access to the mountain.

It is important to know that access to the cabin itself is through a dirt road. It is not recommended if you have a low clearance vehicle. Ideally you need an AWD/4WD vehicle. If it is snow season we will have a spot for you on the main road to park and walk to the cabin. It is about 1/8 of a mile so not recommended for everyone.
