Welcome to Upper Meadow Lodge! This is the mountain getaway you`ve been dreaming about. Cozy up by the fireplace and enjoy the quiet of this 17 acre mountaintop retreat. Let your mind and body escape underneath the starry night sky while soaking in the outdoor hot tub. Relax and enjoy the panoramic mountaintop views. Get away from it all and immerse yourself in the beauty of the mountains with your family and friends at this peaceful getaway. You’ll love it here! Perfect for groups! Dog friendly!
This spacious, 5-bedroom lodge is the perfect place for you to unwind as you breathe fresh mountain air and reconnect with nature. Get away from the hustle and bustle of your daily routine on beautiful Palomar Mountain, while still enjoying all the modern amenities and comforts of home. Sip your morning coffee or tea from the comfy patio furniture on our expansive deck while you enjoy the expansive views all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Our Lodge is kid friendly, so it is perfect for families to come and spend quality time together. Our guests enjoy playing games, reading books, bird-watching, stargazing, cycling, family dinners, and taking hikes. Kids will enjoy the swing set, snow play, sledding, books and games just for them, and wildlife sightings while getting to explore and play on the 17+ private acres. You can even see deer outside of your bedroom window! Enjoy nature and your loved ones without the stresses of modern life.

The lodge is all yours, so enjoy a relaxing stroll as you explore the 17+ private acres of tranquil meadows and woodlands surrounding Upper Meadow Lodge.
We will approve requests for small private events on a case by case basis. Please contact us directly to inquire.
We (the hosts) may occasionally be in a different cabin at the back of the property on some weekends, but guests of the lodge will not see us unless they want to.
Beautiful, quiet area at the top of Palomar Mountain. The property boasts 17.7 private acres of fern meadow and forest, including a cedar grove with trees over 350 years old. Palomar Mountain State park is only two and a half miles down the road, and the general store is a great stop for some snacks or forgotten items.
Plenty of parking on the property, but you`ll need your own vehicle to get around on Palomar.
You can find miles of inspiring hiking trails within driving distance at breathtaking Palomar State Park. Water activities such as fishing or boating are also available at nearby Lake Henshaw and Doane Pond. Stargazers love to come to Palomar Mountain as it is known for being one of the most phenomenal places to see stars…There is even a famous Observatory within driving distance!
***If you are looking to book a venue for a party with loud music, alcohol, and extra guests, please do not book this rental. Palomar Mountain is a quiet community. Thank you for your understanding.***
