The cabin is in great shape, clean and cozy. We found the beds to be super comfortable. Kitchen is ready to use with all the basics. We will definitely book again.
This is a quiet getaway to enjoy the natural environment surrounding this property. The room was very clean, comfortable, and had a nice Keurig coffeemaker with a variety of choices to taste. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a meal. The beds are very comfortable with soft comforters. A lot of work has gone into making one's stay here enjoyable.

Everything about this gem is wonderful! Perfect location for those of us visiting Josie's. The view from the porch is breathtakingly beautiful. It's quite, completely updated, both beds and shower are amazing. If you're on a bike, FYI the road is gravel but completely manageable. Property Manager was great too. Super flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be back for another getaway ♥️
Absolutely easy check in. Cabin was very clean. Amazing views. Nice and quiet area. Very cozy feeling when you walk in. Only thing I would even have to say was, wish there was a fire pit outside. However, that does not take away from the amazing experience. Thank you so much for being able to enjoy with my family.
Christina, we are so sorry that you had a bad experience with us. It is indeed really painful for us that you gave us a 2 star review. We always try to do our best for our guests and in most of the cases everybody goes home really happy with the time they had at San Diego Mountain Lodge. There are always issues and things that can happen but we know that there's always a way to make it up or fix it. We want you to come back soon with a special discount, and we'll make sure you have a blast, because this place is worth 5* stars or more and we are absolutely sure about that. PLEASE contact us and we'll make it happen so you can really experience the magic of SDML this time. Best,
The team at SDML
My husband and I were looking for a pet friendly place to escape the 4th of July noise. This little cabin was a perfect pick for us. We did not hear one single firework the entire night. The cabin is small but it provides you with all that you will need for a comfortable stay, including: Netflix, wifi, air conditioning/heating, kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave and a Keurig to help you get your coffee fix, a nice bathroom with spa level shampoo, conditioner and body wash and two small bedrooms with double beds. This cabin has a nice view of Lake Henshaw and don’t forget to star gaze at night. We could even see the Milky Way! A huge thank you to Alan, the property manager, for being so accommodating.
Everything was very serene and the views were great. Wish the listing told you to bring firewood for the fireplace though. I believe it only says to bring firewood for the outdoor pit? The property manager was nice enough to give us some pieces of wood. However, The lighter provided inside cabin was out of fluid so we could not properly start the fire. It was too late to go to the store or contact property manager. We still had a good time, just a bummer as the fireplace was the main reason we wanted the cabin. The beds were comfy and the space is nicely laid out. However, the cabin has a bad case of woodpeckers. After a late night, we woke up at 5:30 am to the woodpeckers and they never stopped. There are clear holes all over the window areas on cabin so I assume the property knows. A fake owl or some treatment needs to be done there. Other than the fireplace and not being able to sleep, it was a cute place that we’d enjoy going to again if those problems were to be addressed. Beautiful view of the lake and trails as well!

Katilin, thank you so much for your detailed review. Very useful. We have notified housekeeping that there weren’t matches in your cabin to start the wood burning stove. Matches are preferred over the propane lighter. As you experienced, San Diego Mountain Lodge on Hideout Mountain is a beautiful and tranquil environment. We’re so glad you could appreciate it even with the issues you experienced and we want you to come back so we can earn a 5-star review. 4-stars in our minds is not acceptable.
We want you to know that we fired our welcoming mascot Woody the Woodpecker because he wouldn’t abide by his allotted pecking hours from only 3-4pm. He has been banished to live in a locked room (far away from Hideout Mountain) with a strobe light flashing all day, and with an 11-year old boy playing drums incessantly. In all seriousness, we have been attempting to chase him away and we think Woody has moved on, no longer near our super special cabin #12 (with the best views of the lake). We are now in the process of fixing all those holes he made over the last month. It’s very frustrating, and we understand how much he affected your experience. Since Woody will be gone when you return, please make sure you reach out directly to me (Francisco, your booking manager) prior to booking for a very special discount offer.
