Pauma Valley House | Spectacular view over San Diego County to Mt. Laguna, downtown, Catalina Island.

3 Bedroom House in Pauma Valley, Palomar Mountain

Please note, 3 night minimums for Tgiving, Xmas, New Year's.
Private cabin in the trees built in the early 1900s has been upgraded but retains all its rustic original charm. Watch eagles fly at eye level, clouds roll in, sunsets and moonsets in the ocean. Bobcats, wild turkeys, and deer regularly walk through the property. Decorated by owner with antiques and comfortable furniture (not all in pristine, new condition!) , large view deck for grilling and sitting in the sun, sauna. Dramatic infinity deck on mountain edge for sunset cocktails, morning yoga. Fully equipped kitchen, propane grill, tv, dvd player. Three bedrooms each with a queen or full bed, two couches could accommodate kids. Short drive from hiking, the Palomar Observatory, fishing at Lake Henshaw, entertainment at Harrah's Rincon Casino. Wonderful place to spend a snowy weekend, but 4 wheel drive and chains are needed on the few occasions when snow is deep. Some guest complaints: cluttered [cluttered with board games, coloring materials, telescopes, astronomy, bird, Palomar history books, maybe cluttered just a little]; cobwebs [if you search, you can probably find one or two, cleaned thoroughly after every guest]; feels like we're housesitting [hmmmm- this is a complaint?]. Best guest comment ever: 'It's clearly a well-loved and special place.' BINGO. Thanks, Emily. No dishwasher, I'm afraid.
Note: 3 night minimum for Xmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day weekends.

WINTER BOOKING ADVISORY!!!
Winter is snow time, which is good and bad. Caltrans has a station up on the mountain and they start plowing the paved roads very quickly when snow starts. Unfortunately, there is nobody up on the mountain who plows private drives, and my cabin is about 500 feet up a dirt branch road that is not plowed. If you plan to be there at a time when snow is predicted, your options are to park near the paved road (but be sure not to park right on side of the road where your car will interfere with plowing or be covered by snow pushed aside by the plow), or plan a long day of shoveling yourself out by hand. I’ve done this shoveling myself before, and it takes a good while. One guest last winter took 8 hours to do this, and they were not happy campers by the end of the day. If you have long time existing reservations and there is a massive storm predicted to hit just before or during your stay, I will of course promise a no penalty cancellation if you chose not to go. Being up there with snow is a wonderful experience, as long as you have supplies and can relax and enjoy.
House rules: treat this old place with courtesy and common sense: recycle, clean up reasonably after yourself, turn off lights and cooling/heating when not needed and on departure, close and lock doors and windows when leaving- sometimes I don't get up to clean for several days.

Summary: Always enjoy staying at this spot. The views are incredible and it is so peaceful. Definitely look forward to our next trip up here.
Julia T. Feb 18, 2025 02:00:42 AM
Summary: We had a great time staying in this little cabinet at the top of the hill. We had two adults and two kids and the kids had lots of time to play in the dirt and we and joyed the peace and quiet immensely.
Andrew M. Jan 2, 2025 03:00:29 AM
Summary: The place was rustic. It had some nice features though. Fireplace was nice with plenty of wood. Birds came to deck and eat bird food from the feeder and the views were stunning.

Summary: This place is special and feels like a little bit of magic. It's rustic feel, careful touches, and incredible location means I have found it tough to be beat. The road to palomar itself is even transportive - the desert dust gives way to switchback roads, the smell of pine - crisp, mountain air. We love it, and this property makes use of the space and view amazingly. Once you've enjoyed the view, the main event starts - the night sky. Palomar has some of the clearest skies in America and the wraparound deck really makes stargazing easy. The kitchen is well stocked, beds are very comfortable and Wifi is great (if you even need it). I have no doubt we'll be back soon - we come back multiple times a year from New York, and we love it.

Summary: The views were spectacular from this home in the mountains . Wish we could have stayed longer; due to a safety concern we cut the trip short, and Vrbo/Chuck Black graciously refunded our payment!
Jason S. Jul 7, 2024 12:06:30 AM
Summary: Absolutely charming cabin - we chose this property for a firework free stay for our doggo and ourselves. so relaxing, amazing views for a wonderful quite couple of days. The property was as described and exactly what we expected. Host Chuck was great and made sure to tell us what to expect for the time of year we were there, also a pleasure to speak with - we called to check in with him on our last morning there. Thank you Chuck!! 10 out of 10!!
Erica R. May 29, 2024 09:26:04 AM
Summary: To start, Chuck has the quickest, clearest communication I have ever experienced as a guest. This cabin is definitely a rustic cabin that feels like grandmas house and is very welcoming. I say that as someone who spent summers at her grandmas cabin in Julian and has the best memories of those times. Not only was the cabin easy to use, we spoke with the neighbors who were all friendly and well humored. It was a wonderful trip.
Irma H. Apr 3, 2024 11:57:44 AM
Summary: While our daily stay was shortened due to weather, I cannot be more a fan of this home and its wonderful views. Thank you, Chuck, for sharing this little slice of heaven.
