The historic cabin used to belong to the Bailey's Palomar Resort, which is still standing and close to the cabin's now-private property. The Palomar Mountain State Park expands over 1,600 acres of land, approximately an hour and a half inland from San Diego and two and a half hours from Los Angeles.

The park is stunning and quiet, with forests of cedar, pine, and oak spread across its interior. Creeks meander throughout the park, running with cool mountain water, catfish, and bluegill. The area was also home to the Liseños Native American tribe, part of the greater Kumeyaay Peoples. Guests of the cabin can visit the Native American Oak grove just five minutes from the premises, which sits on an overlook that offers views the mountains beyond.

Though staying in this historic cabin itself is an experiencetraveling back in time, Glampers will also have access to the majestic landscape of Palomar Mountain State Park, just 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 (in Palomar Mt. state Park); or take the scenic drive to 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 often opens on weekends. Palomar also has a general store and local restaurant OOPS< it is closed for repairs) 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 gold-mining town of Julian, the Cleveland National Forest, or reach San Diego in as little as 1.5 hrs. Guests will learn about the diverse California landscape and history of the region by venturing out beyond Palomar.
