Looking for snow? When we are a winter wonderland, Cabin Fever has absolutely the very best snow access on all of Palomar. We front on County plowed, Crestline Road. There is a shovel on the deck if you need to clear the berm.

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!

- "We had everything we needed at the cabin to be comfortable, and the instructions were clear and thorough. It's a really nice cabin! Definitely check out the Observatory while you're up here." - "Very comfortable and peaceful place for time away from work. Well stocked, plenty of nice seating in the living room, and deck view is especially great for those who love the woods and listening to the birds. 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. Such a charming little cottage on a hill overseeing a beautiful landscape. There's saloon right down the road within walking distance that serves great American food like burgers, fries, sandwiches, and more. The host communicated well, and was kind enough to let us have early check in which made our time that much more special. It was cold during our stay, but luckily there are two heaters installed which worked very well. It was very clean and had a warm, comfortable feel.

- "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. It is nestled on a hillside with unobstructed views of Lake Henshaw, the surrounding San Diego Mountain chain and the lush valley below. Its also our largest cabin on the property.

- "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. There is also a park-style charcoal BBQ and a fire pit. There is a 20 ft bar height table to hang out at and take in the spectacular views. Parking for any size vehicle.

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.
Ask about reserving Josie's Hideout Saloon for your next once-a-year(or lifetime?!) event. No gathering too small! Your live music stage awaits! Your live music stage awaits! Imagine delicious catering options, DJs, a fog machine and disco balls! What are you waiting for?! Sound exciting enough? Keep reading for more details!
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."
