Surrounded by oak trees, sweeping valley views, and the quiet beauty of the Cleveland National Forest, this rustic yet comfortable space is ideal for families, retreats, and groups of friends. The Bunkhouse features six sturdy bunk bed sets ,comfortably sleeping up to twelve guests. With two full bathrooms, everyone has room to refresh after a day of hiking, stargazing, or exploring the mountain. The open, practical layout makes it easy for groups to gather, share meals, and enjoy time together, whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer retreat. Please note; fitted sheets are provided on the beds, although you will need to bring all other linen, including bedding, pillows and towels Step outside and you’ll discover the magic of Harrison Serenity Ranch. Guests have access to most of the property, including scenic hiking trails and a dedicated yoga deck that overlooks the valley — a perfect spot for meditation, morning stretches, or simply soaking in the view. Outdoor showers are available and BBQ areas may be arranged upon request. The ranch is also home to abundant wildlife, from deer and red-tailed hawks to owls and woodpeckers, adding to the immersive mountain experience. For those who enjoy history, the remains of Nate Harrison’s stone house can be found on the property, offering a glimpse into the life of one of San Diego’s legendary pioneers. Nearby, the world-famous Palomar Observatory provides a fascinating excursion and an even deeper appreciation for the night skies you’ll enjoy right from the ranch. Harrison Serenity Ranch is fully off-grid, powered by solar energy and sustained by artesian well water first claimed in 1892. A Camp Host is available 24 hours a day to assist with your group’s needs, and propane heaters can be rented for cool evenings. While the property feels remote and secluded, it’s only about 45 minutes to the nearest store, so we recommend arriving prepared. Getting here is part of the adventure: the ranch is accessed by Nate Harrison Grade Road, a 5.8-mile dirt road climbing from Highway 76. Though narrow in places, it is safe for most passenger cars with good brakes and plenty of fuel. Alternate access via S6 near Lake Henshaw includes a steeper downhill section. Either route rewards you with panoramic mountain views and a true sense of escape. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a group retreat, or simply a mountain getaway with friends, the Bunkhouse at Harrison Serenity Ranch offers space, comfort, and a setting unlike anywhere else. Here, you’ll unplug, reconnect, and create lasting memories in one of Southern California’s most beautiful landscapes. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator - Spices ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83720000/83712000/83711978/82c5d9e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Star Gazing Dream A Frame, Nature + Family Time Palomar Mountain - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $240 CA $505 total includes taxes & fees Oct 14 - Oct 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=83711978&PinnedHotelID=83711978&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74270000/74267800/74267710/403689a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 16+ , A Spa and Second unit for more Additional Accommodation Valley Center - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=74267710&PinnedHotelID=74267710&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120060000/120057600/120057567/f7902532.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Retreat with Pool & Stunning Mountain Views Valley Center - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=120057567&PinnedHotelID=120057567&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115070000/115066100/115066095/f4803a7c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dream House Hideaway and Hot Tub Palomar Mountain - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $696 CA $1,484 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=115066095&PinnedHotelID=115066095&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33490000/33484100/33484045/9d0a8746.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Home on Organic Farm Near Wine Country and Casinos Escondido - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=33484045&PinnedHotelID=33484045&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104530000/104529500/104529405/c73c1912.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny House - Amazing Sunsets!
