If you are looking for the rustic cabin experience with the convenience of some modern amenities this is the ideal spot. Morning coffee in the pines, quiet strolls through the woods with the pups, and plenty of space to entertain. And the stars!!!

Beautiful views and very relaxing

This place is amazing and the owner was very accommodating! The views were incredible, my only issue is that we didn’t have the opportunity to spend more time on this property! We had a 81 mile foot race and got to experience all of MT Palomar
