NEW Steps to Sand Cozy 2 Bdrm for 6 w/office area

NicholasRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very nice place. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and relaxing to be in. Tastefully decorated and really allowed one to settle right in to the beach vibe. Conveniently located steps away from the beach itself, or a 2 min walk to the bay, and near many great places to grab coffee, lunch, and cocktails, and of course all the fun and exciting things to do outdoors. Definitely recommend Cheyann's place when visiting San Diego!

San Diego Escape: Sleeps 10 Guests!

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family came into San Diego for our new Marine’s graduation from MCRD. The place was perfect for the 10 of us. Felt right at home and didn’t feel cramped. I love that they labeled cabinets to help find what we needed. Having access to a washer and dryer was also a plus! Hands down would use them again.

Legacy Community Classic 1 bedroom condo

GregRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Instructions for the entry lock should specify the 4 digits followed by the lower left button to activate the lock. I didn't immediately realize that final button push was needed. Supplies like body wash and shampoo was rather limited. Otherwise, we were very pleased with the condo.

Your guide to Palomar Mountain

All About Palomar Mountain

Nestled amongst a densely wooded timberline that includes Douglas fir and cedar varieties of pine, the town of Palomar Mountain is the highest point in greater San Diego. Grasslands and chaparral groves brand the low-lying coastal slopes of the Palomar Mountain ridge before giving way to the higher altitude forests that characterize much of the area. The 6,000-foot summit offers stunning views that extend from the Pacific Ocean to the towering Mount San Jacinto nearly 40 miles away.

Originally inhabited by many local Indigenous groups, most notably the Luiseño peoples, Palomar Mountain is now an unincorporated community renowned for its abundant opportunities for outdoor adventure. The Palomar Mountain State Park hosts various recreational activities, including hiking and fishing. For wildlife viewing, Palomar Mountain is second to none. Bobcats, coyotes, hawks, mule deer, and woodpeckers all have stable populations and live amongst the trails and woodland meadows. One of the more unique draws to the area is the Palomar Observatory, an astronomical research center run by the California Institute of Technology that is open to the public, with tours and lectures from prominent scientists available year-round, weather permitting.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Palomar Mountain

The southern Californian coastal climate in which Palomar Mountain is found remains relatively stable throughout the year, with only mild seasonal variations. April through September are characterized by warm temperatures, sunny days, clear skies, and dry conditions that are fantastic for taking advantage of the outdoor opportunities available in the region. Booking a cabin near Palomar Mountain during the summer months is also a great way to make the most of the neighboring city of San Diego with its sprawling beaches and summer events. The parts of Palomar Mountain State Park that lie in the lowlands tend to retain mild conditions through the winter with only small upticks in precipitation. As the elevation increases, however, it is not uncommon to find snow and freezing temperatures during colder months.


Top things to do in Palomar Mountain

The Weir Trail

This three-mile out and back trail that begins at the Doane Pond parking lot is an easy hike with only 100 overall feet of elevation change from start to finish. Meandering through dense coniferous forests and along babbling creeks, this leisurely stroll culminates in a historical stone weir that was once part of a failed hydroelectric project in the area.

Boucher Hill Fire Lookout

Located over a mile above sea level, the Boucher Hill Fire Lookout and summit — pronounced boo-ker — provides some of the more stunning vistas in the park. To get to the lookout, you can either walk the gently ascending path or drive along the Boucher Hill Scenic Drive, which leaves from the same trailhead. Once atop the summit, you can explore the lookout and study its history through onsite information centers.

Palomar Observatory

This mountain top observatory was constructed in the 1940s, where, at the time, it sat at the forefront of astronomical research. Today, the medley of onsite telescopes continues to provide groundbreaking data and observations for the Caltech researchers who operate it. The Palomar Observatory was built in an Art Deco architectural style, giving it a unique look. Guided tours and public lectures are available here from scientists who are on the cutting edge of discovery.
