Vintage/Modern Cabin Fever! Fun on the Mountain!

Looking for snow? When we are a winter wonderland, Cabin Fever has absolutely the very best snow access on all of Palomar. We front on County plowed, Crestline Road. There is a shovel on the deck if you need to clear the berm. Cabin Fever has been a much-loved vacation rental since May 2013 with hundreds of wonderful reviews. Many guests have now returned multiple times. We have our first guest coming this year for the 15th time and many quite a few times. We are constantly updating and adding to the cabin and you'll find it immaculate. Like to get away from it all but have the luxuries of home? Come away to this delightful, enchanting, cabin-in-the-woods. Slip back in time with the mountain-milled, cedar log siding and deck. This cabin makes your heart smile! A stone fireplace is waiting for you with a rustic mantel claimed from the forest floor. Cozy up in front of the fire on comfortable leather furniture with some vintage antiques woven in. Modern amenities start with the fully stocked, kitchen and bath with granite counters and a washer/dryer. There is a 50 inch 'Smart TV' to turn on for your favorite music or watch a movie, and enjoy our high speed internet and Apple TV with so many options using your devices. Built- in Mini-splits with both AC and heat on each level to click on while you get a warm fire going. Browse from our library of books that take you back in time to days gone by, inspire, intrigue or motivate. When was the last time you played Dominos? We have a collection of games to choose from, plus a few books and toys for the children. Where will you sleep?
Upstairs is the bedroom with a queen bed and reading nook. Close the black-out drapes to sleep in. Across from the bedroom, above the living area is a ramp to a loft with 2x2s to prevent slipping but not comfortable barefoot. (Wish there was room for stairs!) There are two, twin mattresses suitable for children, since an adult can not stand up because of a low ceiling. The kids we've met at the cabin absolutely love the loft. Bathroom The only bathroom is downstairs. Nightlights, light the stairs and the bathroom. We have a Pack and Play for your little ones.
Palomar is a place to 'not do' too. Enjoy our propane barbecue while soaking up the sun on the deck and take in the chorus of birds, get lost in a favorite book or one of ours. A trip to Palomar is not complete without going to the world famous Observatory (closed during snow). Browse the General Store and visit the Boucher Fire Lookout. (Our only restaurant is closed for repairs). You can take off on a hike on the many miles of trails in the State Park and National Forest or fish in Doane Pond. There are several 'Field Trips' within walking distance to visit one farm with chickens, turkeys, goats and sheep for fresh goat cheese, milk and eggs. Our Palomar Roaster imports organic coffee and is a short hike up the road. There are also wonderful day trips from Cabin Fever. You're invited to be our guest and come away to Cabin Fever!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a fantastic and restful time at this Cabin. Everything was as advertised and the host was friendly and helpful. The only downside for myself was the bed I slept on was too soft as I need a firm mattress. Other than that I would recommend this rental to family and friends and may even return back one day.

We were very excited to come to this cabin , have been looking forward to it for a long time . The cabin was even better than expected and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there . Everything was very clean and comfortable , and we loved having a fire in the fireplace . Loved the deck where we spent many hours with the great view of the trees and many birds flying and floating around . We were able to take many hikes in the state park nearby and spent a day trip to the beaches . One day we went to the cute little town of Julian for shopping and a free concert which we really enjoyed . This is a great base for all there is to do in the area and we will book it next time we come . Bonnie was a great host and communication was always quick .

Everything was perfect! The host gave amazing instructions ahead of time, and left helpful notes all over with instructions on how to use things. We really felt at home for our little Christmas in the woods! It was so relaxing and quiet, and there was no shortage of cozy blankets to cozy up to the fire and read a book or watch a Christmas movie! The kitchen is spectacular! I was able to cook everything we wanted with ease!
