Charming log cabin surrounded by the hills of the Cleveland National Forest Come enjoy the serenity of the country at "The Cabin". This charming log cabin is nestled among native Pine and Oak trees and is located at the foot of the Laguna Mountains, surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest and United States Forest Service (USFS) land. The location of this home provides the solitude you'd hope for in a forest cabin with good proximity to the little country town of Pine Valley which has a beautiful county park with 2 newly refurbished playgrounds, a baseball field, basketball court and tennis court. The town also offers a library, market, antique store and a few restaurants. If you would like to see more antiques all you need to do is travel over to the nearby town of Descanso to the popular Descanso Mercantile and Ivy Gate Cottage. There is plenty of unspoiled wilderness in nearby Noble Canyon with access to an abundance of trails which are popular for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking, varying from an easy stroll to day long adventures for even the most avid thrill seeker. There is something close by for everyone in Pine Valley. If you like to fish, then bring your fishing pole as Lake Morena and Lake Cuyamaca are just a short drive away. Or take an even shorter drive up to the Laguna Mountains which will put you at an elevation of 6,000 feet. In the winter this is a great place for sledding. Should you desire to venture a little further, you may like to explore the quaint old gold mining town of Julian with its many shops, restaurants and famous apple pie! The nice thing about San Diego County is one day you can have an excursion in the mountains and the next day you can be at the beach. The very beautiful La Jolla Shores and the world famous Sea World are less than an hour away. Oh and don't forget the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park, which are all adventures close enough to do in a day's time.Should you prefer to just relax at home you can do so under an umbrella of oak trees with only the sound of native birds and the breeze rustling through the trees on the large deck with outdoor firepit. This cozy rustic cabin sits on a 1/2 acre with a beautifully landscaped setting surrounded by 3 undeveloped properties and is one of the more private locations in Pine Valley. Spring and Summer offer sunny days with cool nights. In the winter months, there is always the chance of snow and the enjoyment of hot chocolate by the fireplace.
