Welcome to our peaceful 11-acre hilltop retreat tucked into the chaparral-covered hills east of San Diego, with views of Lawson Peak. Enjoy wide-open space, deep quiet, incredible skies, and a private hiking trail leading to a summit with sweeping 360° views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Choose from two thoughtfully spaced private glamping sites or our cozy Mountain View Cabin. The bell-tent sites are ideal for couples, friends, or small families of up to four, with comfortable beds, cooking gear, seating, lighting, and access to shared bath facilities. Tent guests bring their own sheets, blankets/sleeping bags, and towels, or can add them to their booking. For a more private, year-round getaway, the View Cabin features heating and AC, a private hot tub, linens and bedding provided and its own private flushing toilet along with beautiful mountain views. Property amenities include: * Shared enclosed shower with hot water and sink * Clean composting toilet for glamping guests * Private hiking trail to a summit viewpoint * Panoramic mountain and hilltop views * Camp cookware, seating and lighting Fall asleep to coyotes calling in the distance and wake to birdsong and soft morning light across the hills. Hike the property trail, relax at camp, explore nearby adventures, or simply stay put for golden-hour skies, stargazing, and the kind of quiet that’s hard to find this close to San Diego. Nearby: horseback riding at the neighboring ranch, hiking, dirt bike and e-bike trails, wineries and wine tasting, local farm stands, and Jamul Casino. Approximately 30 minutes to downtown San Diego and 45 minutes to San Diego beaches. Perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape, small families wanting an easy nature getaway, hikers and stargazers, or anyone looking for peaceful seclusion without being truly remote.
