Great little cabin for family trip

We loved staying in Little Red for our family trip to Palomar Mountain! The kitchen was well-equipped and the rooms were great for our 3yo, 8yo, and 10yo. Our family really enjoyed the firepit on the patio and we loved being close to the state park. We would stay here again!

Perfect cabin for our family of four. Denise gave us a quick update on the snow conditions prior to arrival. We especially loved the screened in patio with fire pit for roasting s’mores. We definitely keep this property in mind for future visits.

The cabin was nice but next time we would visit at a cooler time as the bugs were annoying. But bugs will be bugs… Cabin was all it was described to be.

Perfect

We greatly enjoyed the little house, it was exactly what we were looking for! Everything we could need! Be sure to follow the owners directions to the house, not gps, they are different so trust hers. I was nervous arriving after dark, and if the roads were wet or icy it may have been difficult. But it was a dry lovely weekend. Stay here!

Woodsy Retreat

My partner and I LOVED this little red cabin tucked away in the woods! The property owner was so helpful and provided excellent communication. The house was clean and incredibly charming—an excellent value. Loved early evening walks down the road with our dogs, sipping coffee while enjoying views of the surrounding forest, and snuggling up with books in front of the wood-burning fireplace/stove. A short drive to the state park, as well. The perfect fall retreat. Can't wait to return to this little gem for our next Mt. Palomar adventure!

Great getaway

Great cabin in the woods. The road that the cabin is located is however not great for front wheel drive cars. If it was raining our crv would have gotten stuck. And it was a little hard to find once I got to the road. A very nice neighbor that lived close helped us and reassured us that front wheel drive car could get to this cabin. We thank him dearly bc we would have not been able to get there and been really upset. Overall the cabin was cute and had everything you needed. Heater fire pit nature. I truly enjoyed it.

A breath of fresh air. The house was clean and very welcoming. My family and I enjoyed our cabin retreat. Beware of mosquitoes! Spray and light the candles for mosquitoes not to go near. We didn’t think of that first evening but for the rest of the time there we definitely sprayed our arms and lit the outdoor candles which helped tremendously. Everything we needed was available even mosquito itch cream which we forgot. The outdoor patio was so peaceful. Our kids had fun exploring the yard and walking along the outdoor big logs. Thank you 💗

Perfect!

Couldn't have had a more perfect stay at the little red cabin. Communication with Denise was fantastic. She was just a quick message away if we needed anything. The cabin was fully stocked, cozy and well decorated. The first evening, we were serenaded by the organ player next door as we sat by the fire. The music was emphatic and a bit haunting, but in a good, sitting by a campfire in the woods at night kind of way. They didn't play too late into the night and we all enjoyed the eerie experience :) It was nice to escape the cities and coasts for something new. We enjoyed chopping wood and building fire, hiking the small trails around the cabin, relaxing with good friends and spotting wildlife (we saw a bobcat!). Everyone loved their stay. Coming back to the little red cabin next year in definitely in the cards. Thanks Denise for the wonderful memories!

Clean cabin and quiet neighborhood

We enjoyed our peaceful stay at the little red cabin. It was our 1 year wedding anniversary and time away was just what we needed. The cozy fireplace warmed the entire cabin. So comfy. An Added charm was the oak tree above the house dropping large acorns frequently with a loud thud Somehow we got used to it. The towels were so soft, but the Cal King bed needed an upgrade. There were two other bedrooms to choose from. Overall we had a romantic stay. We’ll be back.
