Descanso Cabin | The High Country Hobo Preserve: Rustic Cabin

1 Bedroom Cabin in Descanso

Welcome to the High Country Hobo Preserve. Our hidden gem is nestled in the Cleveland National Forrest. Guest cabin has all amenities: wood burning fireplace -wood provided, board games, fishing poles, tent, horse shoes, bbq, and gold pans for when the creek is flowing. An outdoor fire pit is available when winds are calm and you are welcome to put our tent up and sleep under the stars. Our cabin has old character, unique charm, and is 22 miles to the old mining town of Julian. Kitchen has fridge, hot plate, griddle, microwave, coffee maker- coffee tea cocoa are provided. Please note there is no stove or oven. Pets are welcome & encouraged!
The High Country Hobo Preserve is located in the small city of Descanso, meaning Rest From Labor. We are about 45 minutes from Downtown San Diego yet a world away. The guest cabin sits on our 1 acre property which has a main cabin, guest cabin, horse corral, and billiard room (we are in the process of restoring this room however you can still use it to play darts or billiards). The cabin built in 1890 was originally a small one bedroom stone cabin constructed by a woman who bartered with Native American Groups for stones from Mt. Laguna to build her home. Over the years the main cabin, now our bedroom, has been added on to however the structure still maintains its original character. The Guest Cabin stands alone across from our home so you don't need to see us or even interact with us unless you're looking for local tips. The cabin is surrounded by National Forrest to the north and the west to give you privacy. There is plenty of parking on the property. We ask that you limit shower time due to well water restrictions. Our cabin does not have central heat and air as we prefer to keep it outdated for a more authentic feel however during the summer a window A/C can keep you cool and in the winter the wood burning stove heats the whole cabin comfortably. The area has mountain lion, coyote, bobcat, bald eagles, wild turkey, deer, and when warm rattle snakes so please use caution when exploring. You can access trails from our backyard and wonder among the variety of trees, rocks, and it is an excellent location to search for native gems and for star gazing at night. Fishing poles are left for your use, Lake Cuyamaca has great rainbow trout, bass, and catfish and if you get lucky and land that giant trout you are welcome to use our bbq. :)
As our home sits on this property we are not far from you if you need anything however a key will be left for you to gain entrance. You have full use of the land around the cabin. Perkins is a small market about 10 minutes from our home and has supermarket basics in addition there is a fruit stand on the corner of our street offering local organic treats. There is a full fridge to keep items cool. There is a TV with built in DVD player, bring your movies or pick from ours. There iare no active TV stations or cable as we want you to disconnect and enjoy the area, there is wifi.
A bit more about the area:
The Cuyamaca Mountains are a hidden gem in San Diego so I hope you enjoy it here. A few things I tell our visitors that are looking for activities are: Cuyamaca State Park has many activities from hiking, fishing, horse riding. Julian which is an old mining town is about 20 miles away and has shops food gold panning, and Mount Laguna/ Pine Valley are also close with amazing hikes and views down to the Salton Sea. Anzo Borrego Desert is about 35 minutes from the house, hot but stunning views of desert life. There is a bear/lion preserve in the Cuyamacas. About 45 minutes away- beautiful drive through the mountains is a little town called Ramona, there is a camel preserve there- you can ride the camels and its amazing. You can also set out for a hike/picnic from our property and explore on your own. If you want to check in earlier or perhaps stay later on your check out date we are very flexible, it just depends if others have booked. Please let me know should you have any questions. :)

Summary: nice

Michael W. Jan 9, 2024 07:58:27 AM

Summary: We immediately settled right in and relaxed. The dogs loved it too! The wood stove kept things nice and warm inside the cabin despite it being in the 30s outside. Nearby hiking and activities were great. The wolf Conservatory, Lions Tigers and Bears, Lake Cuyamaca, and Julian were all visited and thoroughly enjoyed. Great spot for a weekend getaway!

Dan D. Nov 1, 2023 08:33:07 AM

Summary: If you have dogs and are looking for a place that embraces the oak woodland of San Diego county, you can't do much better than this. "Rustic" really only means indoor/outdoor living. Perfect for us. As someone who is 60+ years old and grew up in southern California, this is what it is all about. Makes me very nostalgic for the "good old days."

Case E. Oct 9, 2023 03:09:24 AM

Summary: Cozy cabin with nice wood burning stove. Great spot between many different towns and things to do. Would stay again

Ruth S. Jul 19, 2023 11:52:11 PM

Summary: We enjoyed everything about our stay. The cabin has everything you need and lots of extra touches. Rebecca the host is amazing. We loved the fenced yard for our dog. Would love to stay again.

Kassandra B. Jul 18, 2023 05:13:01 AM

Summary: Really was a amazing spot for me and my family to make lifetime of memories. Whenever we come back we will be staying here.

Heidi B. May 19, 2023 08:25:08 AM

Summary: The Hobo Preserve is a small, rustic cabin that has all that you need. Best for 1-3 people... king bed, soft couch, blow up mattress. A screened in porch was nice for things that didn't need to be in the cabin. Julian is about 30 minutes away, and there are LOTS of hiking trails in the greater area. My sister and I stayed with a small dog, who enjoyed the fenced in yard, for 4 nights. We were fortunate that the creek was still running as the sound was a very pleasant sound in the background. We had a nice, relaxing vacation, and would definitely come back again.

Summary: We stayed at the hobo preserve for a few days. We used the outdoor and indoor fireplaces. While we were there, it got cold once the fire went out, just be aware of what time of year you’re going and plan accordingly. Rebecca was great, even borrowing us a bottle of vodka for bloody Mary’s so we didn’t have to run to the store. Also, she let us borrow a Dutch oven for cooking pasta, which worked out well. I’d bring some warm clothes and something to keep you dry, this rain season has been crazy with constant storms. I’d like to go back, hopefully there is a flatscreen tv with dvd player next time, the only issue we really had was with that, but didn’t really interfere with us having a good time. There’s a massive jinga set there, which was fun as well. There is plenty to do around the area, I would recommend Julian, good shops and bars. We fished at Cuyamuka lake, came up empty but had a good time doing it. Tons of hiking in the area, there is one hike you can oversee down to Palm Springs, I think it’s about a 5000 ft drop off, about the same as the Grand Canyon just different scenery. We played pool a couple of nights, had to teach the kid the finer points if you know what I mean.

Ed P. Jan 3, 2023 12:16:28 AM

Summary: Girlfriend and I spent three great nights. Ideal "base camp" location for trips into the Cuyamaca's, Anza-Borrego, etc. Woke up daily to woodpeckers, deer and wild turkeys right outside our window, all with a morning fire and warm beverage in hand.

Lynda S. Sep 21, 2022 07:03:26 AM

Summary: Cabin is rustic, but has all you need to relax and enjoy the surrounding areas.
