Cabin #12 is a spacious & upscale stand-alone, two bedroom cabin which has been completely remodeled and sleeps four adults. It is nestled on a hillside with unobstructed views of Lake Henshaw, the surrounding San Diego Mountain chain and the lush valley below. Its also our largest cabin on the property. There's loads of sunlight to set the mood bright and to make your stay even more memorable, we offer a wood-burning fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, granite counter top, a large flat screen TV, and a cozy couch to snuggle up on.
We always knew if we rebuilt it, they would come! This cabin is one of 11 to choose from at the San Diego Mountain Lodge located at Hideout Mountain- a boutique retreat destination on 40 acres of unspoiled nature with an unbelievably cool, one-of-a-kind historic bar and grill called Josie’s Hideout Saloon. Open Friday-Sunday till 5pm, with live music every weekend, weather permitting. Ask us about renting out Josie's Hideout Saloon for your next epic once-a-year(or lifetime?) event! No gathering too small! Your live music stage awaits! Delicious catering options, DJs, fog machine, disco balls, anyone? What are you waiting for?! Sound exciting enough? Keep reading to the end for more festive details!
Now our backcountry locals aren't the only wildlife around here! This place is full of wild animals like deer, fox, raccoons, bats, ground squirrels and chipmunks. Keep a steady eye(and ear!) open for rattlesnakes, badgers and mountain lions, oh my! Make some noice so they know you're coming. Be not afraid though, they're honestly more scared of us than we are of them! And once night falls, keep your other ear peeled for our local pack of coyotes while you star gaze under some of the darkest skies in San Diego County!
We're also very proud to be a birder's paradise with more woodland birds here than you can shake a stick at!
How about a chance to see(and hear!) turkeys, owls, scrub jays, cardinals, wood peckers, hawks, vultures and even the Western Tanager to name a few! Stroll the grounds and let us know what you discover! We love to encourage our guests to unplug and unwind, but in case you want to Netflix and chill, we have all the modern comforts of home covered here too.
Before you turn in for the night, don't forget there is a community fire pit down by Josie's Backyard to enjoy the incredible night sky, while offering the perfect place to meet other interesting guests and enjoy a nightcap after an a fulfilling day of local activities with your friends and loved ones. Firewood may be available for purchase on site, otherwise Lake Henshaw is your closest market for anything you might need. If Lake Henshaw is closed, try Santa Ysabel Roadside, down the 79 going back towards the town of Santa Ysabel. They're a well-stocked convenient store that stays open till 9 on the weekdays and 10 on Fri./Sat.
Hideout Mountain really knows how to put the "wild" back into YOUR life and is thee go-to for the ultimate get away destination for custom-made festivals, weddings, specialized retreats, corporate meetings, team building, course trainings, family reunions, anniversaries or just a romantic weekend with the one you love! Why not invite your friends though and make it more the merrier! Get lost together, and more often!
And with our 11 cabins, 2 retro campers and the historic 5 bedroom Adobe Lake View Retreat House, we have over 26 beds that could potentially accommodate over 21 couples and up to 5 singles for a total of nearly 50 people with a few couch crashers! With our expanding campground and RV spaces, even more people could join in on a unique event here just waiting to be organized! Hit us up with any questions. We want to help make your wildest dreams come true! All options are on the table, just say the word!
