This treasured property was the retreat of Bob Litchfield, author of the historical volumes Palomar Views I and II. It is now ready to welcome a new family to begin their own chapters of adventure on beautiful Palomar Mountain. Eighty years ago, one of Palomar Mountain’s pioneers recognized the value of building to capture its peaceful, expansive views.

It is now ready to welcome a new family to begin their own chapters of adventure on beautiful Palomar Mountain. Eighty years ago, one of Palomar Mountain’s pioneers recognized the value of building to capture its peaceful, expansive views. Tucked among magnificent boulders, they created a much-loved and utterly charming knotty pine cabin where countless memories have been made around the stone fireplace. You'll enjoy the easy-care quartzite counters and the original vintage Western Holly gas stove, where many memorable meals have been prepared. Take the stairs up to a loft with twin beds. Downstairs you'll find a 'Library' with built-in bookcases, a king sized bed and closet that also walks into a storage area the owners have named 'The cave'. The Den with an attached half bath, now has a queen bed and closet. And a third room, called the Family Room presently has a trundle, a double bed, closet and attached Jack-and-Jill half bath. Both levels total 1244 square feet plus the loft that is 8 by 10. The lower level is all carpeted with two doors that take you out to a very inviting stone patio. All furnishings are included and this happy cabin has had many fun sleep-over nights for 10 of their favorite family and friends. You can too! Step outside to an exceptional and rare backyard bordering National Forest, with sweeping vistas of Warner Springs, Lake Henshaw, and Cuyamaca Peak. A 500-square-foot deck and two stone patios were later added to enhance outdoor living and take full advantage of the setting. Power first arrived on Palomar in the early 1950s and has since been upgraded to 200-amp service, supporting two mini-split heating and cooling units, one on each level. An insulated metal roof and new septic system have been installed. The property is also equipped for Starlink. It is all set for full time living, weekend getaways and would make a fabulous vacation rental.
