There is quite a range in accomodation sizes here--1,2 and 3 Bdr cabins as well as pretty spacious motel rooms. Motel rooms can be booked for just one night anytime, cabins require 2 night minimum on weekends! All are bare bones, no frills rooms--towels and linens are included. They also come wi small fridge and microwave, cabins come wi stoves... More

There are extraordinary aspects to this inn. You can stay in an individual “cabin.” You can hike directly therefrom or close by on wonderful trails. You are just a one hour drive from downtown San Diego. The price is very reasonable. The location is rustic. Cabins have small propane stoves and small refrigerators, as well as electricity. You need to... More

After reading all the reviews about rude staff, it was with much trepidation that we booked a stay here. However, the owners could not have been more friendly and accommodating with a late cheek-in and help gaining access to WiFi. They are also very knowledgeable about the local area and provided good tips on hikes and the best spots for... More

I have 6 kids, so we are unable... More

We stayed in one of the older cabins and it was GREAT! I can't wait to bring back the whole family...the cabin was nice and clean, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was priceless! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I've stayed here several times both in a cabin and in their motel rooms. I proposed to my wife there and have used it as a mountain biking and cross country skiing weekend base. Nothing fancy but they are comfortable and the motel rooms have wood burning stoves/fireplaces. We would bring some microwavable food with us for dinner or eat... More

One reviewer lamented on how rude the staff were when making reservations...the important thing to know is that this place is nothing but rustic charm. Its wierd, but no, you cannot reserve a cabin with your credit card unless its the same day - simply, they have no need to go high tech when things work just fine the way... More
