Historic Holiday Redwood Cabin in Palomar Mountain, California

Though staying in the beautiful cabin itself is an experience on its own, glampers will also have access to the majestic landscape of Palomar Mountain State Park 5 miles down the road. Guests can choose from one of the many hiking trails, all equally scenic and varying in degrees of difficulty. The park reaches elevations of 5,500 feet, where hikers will have excellent views of the Pacific Ocean.

Glampers can also fish in the nearby Doane Pond or Lake Henshaw, where guests can rent boats for a fee. The Palomar Observatory is celebrated for its 200-inch Hale Telescope, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology and even opens on weekends. Palomar also has a general store and local restaurant for guests hoping to eat out but we recommend you to bring up your own food since the general store has limited groceries and is expensive.

From the cabin, glampers can also schedule day-trips to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, the historic town of Julian, the Cleveland National Forest, or San Diego. Guests will learn about the diverse California landscape and history of the region by venturing out beyond Palomar.
