2 nights at Hideout Mountain Lodge
The full amenities, were a plus. The fridge was great, no need for ice refills. Wifi, stove, microwave, and shower/toilet came in handy, as did the heating(40° temps). Dark sky viewing was excellent, and made viewing Jupiter and the total lunar eclipse with my telescope, amazing. Close proximity to Julian is great.

Group trip
We had such a great two-night stay! The space comfortably accommodated four of us and our dog, and we never once felt cramped. Everything was thoughtfully set up and very comfortable.
The kitchen had basically everything we needed to cook meals easily, which made the stay even more relaxing. The bathroom was fantastic, and the beds were super comfortable — we all slept great both nights.
The outdoor space was just as wonderful. There was plenty of room to hang out and unwind, and having firewood provided for the campfire was such a nice bonus. It really made the evenings special.
Highly recommend this spot! Our stay honestly made me want to go out and buy a tiny home of my own. We’d absolutely come back.

Weekend Trip to Stay Tiny Palomar
The tiny home was so cute, comfy, well equipped, clean and well maintained! ♥️ I loved all the indoors modernized decor. Everything in the tiny home has a purpose, I love it! Makes you want to take pictures of everything! Loved the board games! The outside was very nice too… the fireplace in the night time is so relaxing! Only thing I’d say is consider having neighbors next door very close by if you plan to have spend time outside in the night by the fire. Our neighbors were very nice, but above all! I loved my stay at the tiny house!

Weekend Trip to Stargazers Retreat
The Tiny Home is actually very spacious for a couple! Sheena was very communicative and ensured we enjoyed every minute of our getaway. If you are into astronomy and have a telescope, this place provides a great opportunity to enjoy the dark sky right in front of the Tiny Home. No need to drive elsewhere, you can enjoy scoping in the privacy of this beautiful place and go to bed when you need to. Thank you for making this short getaway enjoyable!

I loooove the vibe/decor of The Raven! Besides being adorable, the house was fully stocked, super easy to access (and get help if needed), and on great grounds!

Weekend Trip to Birdsong Backcountry Retreat
I stayed at Bluebird Tiny House during a hot weekend in July. Everything about my experience was enjoyable. I would consider Bluebird Tiny House glamorous glamping. The converted horse trailer had so many well thought out details & touches inside and out. It has a full kitchen, everything needed to cook and grill. It has a working toilet, tub, shower and well water, which was very tasty. It was a hot weekend, but the AC was running when we arrived in mid afternoon. We never needed the heater, and we left the windows open all night. I was amazed at how quiet it was. This location is so quiet and secluded, you’d never know anyone was around. The nearby hikes had amazing views. Bluebird Tiny House has a gas fire pit and an impressive hot tub, perfect for star gazing. The whole experience was so relaxing, and well worth paying a little extra for comfort. We hope to go back in the next year!

1 night at Hideout Mountain Lodge
I loved staying at the Raven. This tiny house was perfect for our stay near Warner springs. The picnic bench and views were an unexpected plus and the tiny house itself has everything we needed for comfort, warmth, cooking and bathing without feeling cramped. Great space!

Comfortable tiny house with all the amenities for a relaxing and fun time away. Sheena was very hospitable and checked in with us before we arrived to make sure we had what we needed and answered questions quickly when needed. Gorgeous views and the starry sky is worth coming out for!

1 night at Stay Tiny Palomar
This place is absolutely adorable – it might just be my favorite tiny house I’ve stayed in! Loved the lofted bed - it truly felt like living out that childhood dream of having your own secret fort, nestled high up in a cozy space.
The tiny house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We had a great time cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen and relaxing in the peaceful vibe of the space. One fun surprise was the remote-controlled color lighting – you can easily set the ambiance with a range of colors, making it feel like a personalized little retreat.
The bathroom was stylish and functional, with all the modern amenities you could ask for. A quick tip – just remember to take out the shower plug where it drains, or it could flood the bathroom.
While the tiny house is right next to the other tiny house site, it’s actually a perfect setup for groups of friends or family looking to go glamping together. You can enjoy the privacy of your own space while still being close enough to share the experience.
I’d definitely return to this little gem. It’s conveniently located near Palomar Mountain, with beautiful hiking trails nearby. This place has everything you need for a cozy, memorable getaway!

2 nights at Birdsong Backcountry Retreat
We had such a nice time at the Bluebird Tiny House at Birdsong Backcountry Retreat. The property was very private and quiet and had lots of space for our dogs to roam the fenced yard. The converted horse trailer was so cute and cozy and had everything we needed to disconnect from our busy lives and just relax. The outdoor space was very peaceful with lots of comfortable areas to sit and read and a hot tub and gas firepit to keep us warm in the evenings. We look forward to visiting again!

We loved camping here. It was quiet, great views and pretty secluded from other campers. A great place to watch the stars at night and wake up with a coffee overlooking a farm and the sky as a backdrop. We loved how you are allowed to bring in firewood yourself, but if you forgot, you can purchase from them. Close to hiking, Julian pie, c couple cages, Julian if you'd like. We had everything we needed for our stay. Great place!
