Pinecrest Retreat is located on 80 acres and is home to 140 trailers, a hiking trail, and a junior Olympic size pool opened seasonally (Memorial Day weekend till the end of September). Owners of these trailers cannot live on site but have access to their trailers as a weekend getaway spot. Pinecrest Retreat is about four miles from town and four miles from Lake Cuyamaca.

The A-Frame features a 360-square foot cathedral ceilinged open space with a sitting and dining area. A kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, gas stove & oven, sink, coffee maker, plates & utensils and most of the basics. The A-Frame has a bedroom downstairs with a queen size bed (with twin size trundle in the closet), a full bath, and an open loft upstairs with a king size bed and balcony. We supply fresh linens, blankets, and bath towels. The A-Frame also comes with a stereo and WIFI but no television is provided. There is a large private backyard with a gathering area, a propane grill and Cowboy Calderon fire pit. The listing price also includes access to the pool in the summer months.

This place is incredible! It was exactly the kind of spot I was looking for. They have a beautiful, fenced in backyard that was perfect for the dogs. The house is beautiful, very clean, and centrally located to the town and a number of great hikes. Will definitely be back!

Such a great and welcoming cabin! The retro mid century modern furnishings were on point and it had everything we needed. The loft was so cozy and the bed and bedding luxurious. We slept so good! We would love to come back in the Spring or Summer!

We had a great time here. Close enough to town for the tourist stuff, remote enough for peace and quiet. All the comforts of home. The pool was super clean and well maintained.

Wonderful weekend stay in a winter wonderland

As we pulled into the driveway of the A-Frame and saw the welcoming sign that said "You're Here!", snow began to dust my windshield. This quickly became a hailstorm which gave way to a heavy snowfall. Giant flakes fluttered to the ground as we explored our new digs and my kids and I quickly headed out to build a snowman, The retreat must be packed with renters in the warmer months. During our stay in early March, I think we saw three other people the entire time. That just enhanced the feeling of having our own little secluded spot in the mountains. The place is large and open with stylish mid-century furniture/fixtures. Everything we needed was provided-- though some items (like a microwave) aren't mentioned in the listing and others were a little hard to find-- but everything was there. All of the appliances, plumbing, etc. worked well. No complaints there. The best part was the super comfy king-size bed up in the loft (with the spacious deck outside). Perfect for snuggling with my kids in the morning as we planned our days. Jill was an excellent host, too. Many questions asked and answered promptly. All in all-- just a great place to spend a snowy weekend. We'll be back!

Great Getaway

My girlfriend and I wanted to get out of San Diego for a couple of days and this place worked perfectly. Interesting & inviting space, clean, and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the swinging chair and hammock in the manicured backyard. We would definitely return.

Cozy Cute Stay

We loved this property. There was just 4 of us (and a dog) and it was perfect. The owner was very responsive to all my inquiries so we really appreciated that. My only wish is that there was more than 1 bathroom, but a minimal con for us! Definitely will rent again! Thank you!! <3

Cozy and cute

We came here to have easy access to the desert to see the super bloom. It was nice to experience the transition from mountain to desert. Julian is two miles away and has decent restaurants. Very friendly people. The cabin was well appointed. We didn’t get to experience much of the outdoors as it rained while we were here but the backyard is fenced and convenient for letting the dog out to roam safely. Beds and seating were comfortable. Heat worked very well in the cold weather.
