Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

There are many things to love. The view on the Perch is spectacular, wide open yet secret and intimate. The restaurant/bar down the hill has some fun music and is a good place to hang out. The location is just minutes away from Julian so we can hop into town when we want. We love it, our dogs love it. We will come back when we need to escape just for a couple of nights.

Excellent dog-friendly getaway with great views. Cabin was fully equipped. Would love to return. Thank you, Bobby

Private, quiet, stunning view. WiFi is spotty, but that shouldn’t matter if you come to experience peace and natural beauty.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

The place is very well kept and we enjoyed being away the peace of being away from the city for a bit. We loved the view at the top of the short hike and how clean everything was. This was a first time camping at the Hideout but definitely won’t be the last.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

Great location with great views. The staff are direct but helpful. We were comfortable and I’ll probably try a larger cabin next time for my son and I.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

This was our 3rd time here! First was in a cabin, second in a travel trailer, and third in a roof top tent with 2 kids under 4! Each time was a great experience. So many upgrades as well.

1 night at Stay Tiny Palomar

This place is absolutely adorable – it might just be my favorite tiny house I’ve stayed in! Loved the lofted bed - it truly felt like living out that childhood dream of having your own secret fort, nestled high up in a cozy space. The tiny house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We had a great time cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen and relaxing in the peaceful vibe of the space. One fun surprise was the remote-controlled color lighting – you can easily set the ambiance with a range of colors, making it feel like a personalized little retreat. The bathroom was stylish and functional, with all the modern amenities you could ask for. A quick tip – just remember to take out the shower plug where it drains, or it could flood the bathroom. While the tiny house is right next to the other tiny house site, it’s actually a perfect setup for groups of friends or family looking to go glamping together. You can enjoy the privacy of your own space while still being close enough to share the experience. I’d definitely return to this little gem. It’s conveniently located near Palomar Mountain, with beautiful hiking trails nearby. This place has everything you need for a cozy, memorable getaway!

2 nights at Birdsong Backcountry Retreat

We had such a nice time at the Bluebird Tiny House at Birdsong Backcountry Retreat. The property was very private and quiet and had lots of space for our dogs to roam the fenced yard. The converted horse trailer was so cute and cozy and had everything we needed to disconnect from our busy lives and just relax. The outdoor space was very peaceful with lots of comfortable areas to sit and read and a hot tub and gas firepit to keep us warm in the evenings. We look forward to visiting again!

Weekend Trip to Unique City Escapes

This was an amazing experience. The tent was decorated beautifully. The tent and bathroom was really clean. The tent was roomy and had exactly what you need including a tv, minifridge and heater. The outdoor communal area was great. You can tell the host cares deeply about offering a great space. She even had games and books in the tent to keep entertained. It was a great experience waking up to birds chirping. I would 100% rebook this.

Fantastic theme great work great people thank you our Valentine’s Day 2025! We won’t forget The Raven! Recommend!

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

We loved camping here. It was quiet, great views and pretty secluded from other campers. A great place to watch the stars at night and wake up with a coffee overlooking a farm and the sky as a backdrop. We loved how you are allowed to bring in firewood yourself, but if you forgot, you can purchase from them. Close to hiking, Julian pie, c couple cages, Julian if you'd like. We had everything we needed for our stay. Great place!

Weekend Trip to Hideout Mountain Lodge

This site was really nice for an overnight stay! We really enjoyed the view and amenities available in the camper (bathroom, kitchen, dining area). There’s also a lookout point which has a beautiful view of the area. The site has a shower but the water was just barely above cold temperature. However it was tolerable & nice to have the option to shower after a day of hiking.

3 nights at Unique City Escapes

Wow, this was an amazing getaway. Tons of outdoor space with a great view and ambience, close to restaurants and Main Street but still an escape from the city, extremely clean and well stocked, but best of all was the hospitality! The hosts were extremely helpful, available for any questions, and all around great.
