Pinecrest Retreat is located on 80 acres and is home to 140 trailers, a hiking trail, and a junior Olympic size pool opened seasonally (Memorial Day weekend till the end of September). Owners of these trailers cannot live on site but have access to their trailers as a weekend getaway spot. Pinecrest Retreat is about four miles from town and four miles from Lake Cuyamaca.

The A-Frame features a 360-square foot cathedral ceilinged open space with a sitting and dining area.

What makes this property unique

Pinecrest Retreat is unique place as it was founded in 1961 by General Dynamics Corporation, Convair (an American aircraft manufacturing company) as a place for their employees to recreate. By 1994 General Dynamics sold the Convair Division and Pinecrest was sold into private ownership. Pinecrest Retreat is a vintage trailer park due to the old-time relics left behind from 1961. Our mission today is to connect people with nature, community and the classic American travel-trailers.
