Family Vacay
Thank you so much. We had a blessed time. Stars were beautiful at night. Also visited observatory, La Jolla Indian campground, lookout point in Palomar state park. Be sure to bring food. Not many places to get food. Jilbertos Taco Shop was good but you have to come down the mtn.

Fantastic Place to Enjoy Palomar Mountain
We came here to stay since it was close to the La Jolla Mountain Bike Park. As A frame cabins go this one is clean and cozy. My wife and I enjoyed our stay and waking up to the birds and the view of the trees. Definitely would recommend this one, also plenty of room for other guests. Thanks Ephraim and Aimee!!

This was a great stay, we always wish we had more time on the Mountain. The cool nights made having a fire in the wood stove so wonderful. My son and I enjoyed splitting wood, my wife and daughters enjoyed all of the wild flowers on the mountain and the AFrame with luxurious bathrooms!

Magical Memorial Day weekend
Thoughtfully designed property from top to bottom -- clean minimalist style but accomplished with cozy surfaces. Spacious throughout with excellent light and views of cedar and oak trees from every window. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, with birds winging by (including an impressive turkey vulture), a charming rope swing in the oak by the driveway, a fire pit, and a secret treehouse (for very little ones). All four of us loved it.
