Cabin #2 is one of our largest 1-bedroom units. It has room for 2 people and a third person can sleep on a non fold out couch. It's nestled more in the middle of Hideout Mountain up against the oak and cedar glen with some perfect views of Lake Henshaw and the surrounding valley. This spacious remodeled cabin has a full kitchen, granite countertop, a full bathroom with tub, and A/C and heat to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There's even a large flat-screen TV and a big couch to snuggle up on.
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. Open Friday-Sunday till 5pm, with live music every weekend, weather permitting. Ask us about renting out Josie's Hideout Saloon for your next epic once-a-year (or lifetime?) event! No gathering too small! Your live music stage awaits! Delicious catering options, DJs, fog machine, disco balls, anyone? What are you waiting for! Sound exciting enough? Keep reading to the end for more festive details!
Now our backcountry locals aren't 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 (and ear!) open for rattlesnakes, badgers, and mountain lions, oh my! Make some noise so they know you're coming. 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 is your closest market for anything you might need. If Lake Henshaw is closed, try Santa Ysabel Roadside, down the 79 going back towards the town of Santa Ysabel. They're a well-stocked convenience store that stays open till 9 on the weekdays and 10 on Fri./Sat.
Hideout Mountain really knows how to put the "wild" back into YOUR life and is the go-to for the ultimate get away destination for custom-made festivals, weddings, specialized retreats, corporate meetings, team building, course trainings, family reunions, anniversaries or just a romantic weekend with the one you love! Why not invite your friends though and make it the more the merrier! Get lost together, and more often! And with our 11 cabins, 2 vintage camper trailers and the historic 5-bedroom Adobe Lake View Retreat House, we have over 26 beds that could potentially accommodate over 21 couples and up to 5 singles for a total of nearly 50 people with a few couch crashers! With our expanding campground and RV spaces, even more people could join in on a unique event here just waiting to be organized! Hit us up with any questions. We want to help make your wildest dreams come true! All options are on the table, just say the word!

Beautiful panoramic views and lots of space around to take pup for walk. Cabins have a lot of character and decorated nicely with cool decor. Very clean and loved the fireplace. Thank you!

Hello Jenna! 😊
Thanks so much for choosing us for your stay! We loved having you here and can’t wait to welcome you again. 🙏
Be sure to follow us on IG @hideoutmountainlodge for more updates. If you enjoyed your experience, a Google review would be greatly appreciated!
Stayed here because it was close to the Harrah's, we had a 9PM reservation for Hell's Kitchen and couldn't stay at the resort because of our dog. We brought our dog with us to stay here and it was perfect for what we needed. Plus, the stargazing was incredible!
Thanks for you review Jennie, although we crave for a 5 star review! Hope you give us another chance in the future to come stay, and we would love to know what we can do to improve so next time we can get your 5 stars review.
All the best,
SDML :)
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.
