The Lodge is located in the peaceful, unique mountain community of Palomar Mountain CA, and is a proud part of rural San Diego's heritage.
The original log structure, known as The Palomar Mountain Clubhouse, was constructed in the early 1900's by local craftsmen utilizing native timber and resources from Palomar Mountain. The Palomar Mountain Clubhouse hosted community gatherings and events which included dances, parties, weddings, and "inspirational talks''.
In later years rooms were added which provided lodging for out of town visitors. The Lodge was also known as Edgewood Tavern and hosted prominent world famous astronomers who traveled on the 'Highway to the Stars' to Palomar Mountain for the 1935 dedication of the Hale Telescope. For many years the lodge was named 'The Skyline Lodge'. A very appropriate name...as you can see the skyline of San Diego and Point Loma on a clear day!
Make The Lodge on Palomar Mountain the destination for your next retreat or special gathering!

Everyone had a great time.
We had 17 family members at the Lodge to celebrate my husband's 90th. birthday. Everyone was comfortable with their bedrooms and baths. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together or to do their own thing. Alan and Diane were great and very helpful. We had beautiful weather and would certainly recommend this facility for a reunion. I did all the cooking, but it was easy with such a well-equipped kitchen. Thank you to Alan and Diane.
Sheridan and Malcolm,
It was such a pleasure to have you and your family as guests at The Lodge for Malcolms 90th birthday celebration.
Diana and Alan
Perfect place for a 40th birthday party with a big group of friends
We celebrated a birthday with seven couples and a few small kids and could not have had a better time. The hosts were wonderful and responsive and the house was exactly what we hoped for. It made for an incredibly special birthday celebration, with big home-cooked meals, fires blazing all night, and lots of time to relax. We will be back here for the next one! Thanks Alan and Diane!
Emily,
Thank you for your review of The Lodge!
Happy that we could share this wonderful place with you and your friends for the 40th birthday celebration.
We look forward to seeing you again in the future....
All the best,
Alan and Diana
Loved it
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to do it again.
PERFECT FAMILY HOUSE
Our Entire Immediate Family went to Palomar Mountain to Celebrate the 1 Year anniversary of our dads passing, My Sisters 50th Birthday, and New Years Eve all in the same day. There were Twenty of us, and enough room for everyone to have a good time and not get on each others nerves. The kitchen was big enough for all us ladies to cook, listen to good music and dance in the kitchen at the same time while making dinner. Its exactly what we all needed, good family bonding. Some of us went fishing, some went to the casino and some just hung out at house playing board games. Sitting on the porch at night with the fire place lit is just magical. We would definitely go back to this house in Palmar Mountain again.
Thank You - The Mojarro Family
Wonderful Lodge type atmosphere, rustic which we love!
Our lodge was historic, warm and accommodating. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for the multiple families we had in town for our Son's wedding. Large kitchen with "2" of everything! 2 stoves... 2 Refrigerators, two washers and dryers. Perfect for a Family or group that loves to cook and spread out! Alan, our host checked us in and shared some history and background on the property as well and encouraged us to use the ancient fireplaces with the well seasoned wood they provided. Couldn't have been better experience!
We certainly DO LOVE to share The Lodge and Palomar Mountain with visitors. The Lodge does have so much rustic charm and atmosphere.
It was a pleasure to meet you and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Warmly,
Alan and Diana

Not to mention the beauty and feel the lodge itself contributed to the wedding!! We will definitely be back!! Diana and Alan were so nice and accommodating! Truly blessed that we found this!
So glad that we could share The Lodge. It truly is a very special place.
Wishing you, Curtis and your family all the best.
