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, or 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, turn on the Sound Soother if you'd like, and settle in 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. There is a Pack N 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. However, one couple planned lots of outings but a couple days later, when they were checking out, totally relaxed, said, 'Next time maybe we will venture out of the cabin. It has such a wonderful ambiance and we loved it so much that we just had to stay in the entire time'. We have lots of options waiting for you at our Fun Things to Do link provided on this page, right above those nice Reviews that have come our way. Keep scrolling...

You're invited to be our guest and come away to Cabin Fever!

Nice Mountain Getaway
We were looking for a getaway to the mountains during our trip to San Diego. The cabin near Palomar Mountain was perfect for our family. It was clean and cozy with all the amenities we would want. There were hiking trails nearby and the observatory as well. Bonnie was very gracious and helpful during our stay. We plan to visit again this coming summer.

Quiet relaxation
We had a great time exploring Palomar mountain and enjoying the quiet surroundings. We learned much about the ecosystem from the great books in the cabin library. We really felt at home, cooked great meal, played soccer in the park and at the Palomar picnic park. The general store folks were accomodating and the cabin well appointed. We would highly recommend to others!

Very Quaint Cabin
Very quaint and unique cabin! Looks right out to the trees and valley. Easy access from main road via a few stairs. Almost at the end of the paved road so fairly quiet and private. Updated with all the normal amenities and warmly comfortable furnishings. Great place for some R&R. Host Bonnie went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time.

stress-free rest
I had a good rest for 3 days and 2 nights at your cabin. Everything, including kitchen items, was well-equipped, and the best part was that the inside of the house was clean. I already miss my time there and want to visit again.

Quaint
Everything was as listed. It was a very small, quaint cabin. The most difficult portion was the parking. It was not clear that the parking was just a pullout along the paved road (no driveway) and that there was a 500-ft walk (with stairs) to the cabin. We are able-bodied with good eye-sight, so when we got there in the dark, it was not a huge issue for us, but felt that portion was misleading in the listing. Otherwise, it is fairly quiet, even if the cabin is next to a paved road.

Beyond welcoming!
Not only was the cabin perfect, with a perfect location (far enough away but also, not completed isolated), Bonnie also offered so many resources for our group to enjoy ourselves, explore the region and (most importantly) relax. We received a beautiful tour around the mountain and given so many options of places and activities to check out. Bonnie and her family were even ready to help us at a late hour (we are even more appreciative for all of you for that). So grateful for the experience and opportunity to meet!

Absolutely Fabulous!
This cabin is quite something. You feel like you're the only person in the world. We honestly could not hear one sound, other than nature while we were there. You are immersed in the woods, the cabin is so cozy, and comfortable, and has anything and everything you could hope for. Bonnie is quite wonderful, communicative, generous, and just an overall delight. We cannot wait to go back!

Cozy Little Cabin
It was a nice relaxing cabin to stay in. Definitely communicate with property manager to find out what pots/pans/dishware they have because the nearest grocery store is an hour away. Best to bring your food ahead of time. It's a drive to go up and down the mountain. But overall it was a great place to chill out and relax
