Charming log cabin surrounded by the hills of the Cleveland National Forest

Come enjoy the serenity of the country at "The Cabin". This charming log cabin is nestled among native Pine and Oak trees and is located at the foot of the Laguna Mountains, surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest and United States Forest Service (USFS) land. The location of this home provides the solitude you'd hope for in a forest cabin with good proximity to the little country town of Pine Valley which has a beautiful county park with 2 newly refurbished playgrounds, a baseball field, basketball court and tennis court. The town also offers a library, market, antique store and a few restaurants. If you would like to see more antiques all you need to do is travel over to the nearby town of Descanso to the popular Descanso Mercantile and Ivy Gate Cottage. There is plenty of unspoiled wilderness in nearby Noble Canyon with access to an abundance of trails which are popular for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking, varying from an easy stroll to day long adventures for even the most avid thrill seeker.

There is something close by for everyone in Pine Valley. If you like to fish, then bring your fishing pole as Lake Morena and Lake Cuyamaca are just a short drive away. Or take an even shorter drive up to the Laguna Mountains which will put you at an elevation of 6,000 feet. In the winter this is a great place for sledding. Should you desire to venture a little further, you may like to explore the quaint old gold mining town of Julian with its many shops, restaurants and famous apple pie! The nice thing about San Diego County is one day you can have an excursion in the mountains and the next day you can be at the beach. The very beautiful La Jolla Shores and the world famous Sea World are less than an hour away. Oh and don't forget the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park, which are all adventures close enough to do in a day's time.

Should you prefer to just relax at home you can do so under an umbrella of oak trees with only the sound of native birds and the breeze rustling through the trees on the large deck with outdoor firepit. This cozy rustic cabin sits on a 1/2 acre with a beautifully landscaped setting surrounded by 3 undeveloped properties and is one of the more private locations in Pine Valley. Spring and Summer offer sunny days with cool nights. In the winter months, there is always the chance of snow and the enjoyment of hot chocolate by the fireplace. This cabin is located on a quiet, dirt road with very limited traffic and interruptions - a true escape from the daily grind! Wildlife such as raccoons, deer and turkeys call this beautiful valley home, a birdwatchers dream for sure.

This multi-level cabin rental can accomodate up to six guests and has 3 bedrooms. Downstairs is one bedroom with a queen bed and flat screen TV. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, one has a double bed while the other has a futon with a memory foam mattress topper for extra comfort. There is one full bathroom downstairs and a half bath upstairs. Linens, towels and extra blankets are all provided. Each room is also provided with its own electric heater. The fully equipped kitchen has a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster and all necessary tableware and cookware. If you choose to barbecue, you can step onto the large back deck and use the charcoal and grill that are provided. There is a beautiful sunroom located off the back of the house with large windows looking out into the lush backyard. Other amenities include a washer and dryer, 2 flatscreen TV's with cable TV, wifi internet service as well as clear cell phone reception. Step back in time with the 2 heat sources of this home, a fireplace and wood stove (all wood provided). On extra cold nights the wood stove will warm the entire house.

A book will be provided at the house showing the many things to do in the area as well as instructions and tips for easily starting your own fire in case you are not one that has not had much experience in doing this before.

Escape to "The Cabin" and enjoy time with your family or friends and be as active or relaxed as you please. Play catch with the kids on the lawn or sip a cold drink on the deck, all surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside. Board games, outdoor games, and boogie boards are some of the extra things provided for your enjoyment.

Perfect Family Cabin
Great cabin in a woodsy, central part of Pine Valley. Feels like you’re in a private, remote area but everything you need is nearby. We went fishing to Lake Cuyamaca and to Julian the next day. Both an easy drive from the cabin. We will definitely stay here again.

This log cabin was beautiful and I’d stay here again. It was so peaceful. I walked down the road and went for a short hike into the mountains and saw a lot of wild flowers. The upstairs bedroom on the right and the ground level bedroom need the ceiling fans repaired. There are no separate chains for the fans and it gets warm in there during the day. Either the door locks or the keys should be replaced, they’re a little difficult. Other than those two things, everything was perfect. Much thanks to Michele and Flip for sharing your cabin.

Rustic Peace
I was anticipating this out-of-town trip for some time. It had been over 3 years (pre-COVID) since I was able to take a break from normal family life and enjoy nature without kids in tow 😊. I was not disappointed in the least with my stay in The Cabin. It’s in a rustic setting which is what I was needing. The setting is very private. The wood burning stove is nostalgic and wonderful. The downstairs bed was very comfortable. The deck area was perfect for hanging out and listening to the bountiful sounds of nature. And there were many hiking trails close-by. I’d recommend the Kitchen Table trail (easy 4 mile out and back with a small waterfall at the turning point). I anticipate requesting to stay again in the future—a great experience!

We had such a great time here! The house was immaculate and the owners had thoughtfully provided oodles of conveniences… from toiletries to paper towels, firewood and starter! The backyard is stunning - we felt as though we had the entire oak forest to ourselves! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Easy, relaxing getaway from the city
Loved staying at this remote little piece of Heaven. Back porch is an amazingly easy way to take in all of God’s flying creatures, within the comfort and warmth of the cabin. Property management, was on call for any of my needs. Cabin was really cozy and rustic, but with so many cute and personal touches to it, I almost had myself convinced it was “ours” and we were out there for a long weekend, just as we would every week. Such a nice respite from the craziness of city life. Thank you for sharing it!

The Pine Valley Cabin
A beautifully-renovated cozy cabin! Lovely inside, lovely surroundings outside. Wildlife was present. The setting was serene and quiet. Marvelous hiking trails nearby, and the dark sky. Temperatures were chilly, which gave us a great excuse to use the large fireplace (they provided the wood and kindling!) We'll be there again for sure.

Stay for USMC graduation
From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience. We had no issues with anything. Myself, my husband and our daughter stayed here to attend our sons USMC graduation in San Diego. We do not enjoy cities or crowds so this was close enough to attend celebrations and still be in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The house is extremely charming,, quiet, clean and easy to commute to SamDiego. We would stay again if we ever return to CA. Thank you! Becky and Jason

I was absolutely shocked and amazed by how beautiful the property was. The amount of love and care that the owner put into their home was evident in every inch. They thought ahead of everything you could possibly need or want and had it covered. It was immaculately clean and welcoming and inviting. We will definitely be booking another stay in the future.
