Bailey’s on Palomar is an authentically rustic property with a long history of hospitality stretching back to 1888. Our Historic Dancehall, the venue of choice for many of our bridal couples, was built nearly 100 years ago and once hosted the small mountaintop neighborhood of Palomar Mountain. Lively get-togethers with music, dancing, food, and drinks were common. The old soda fountain is still here! The first Palomar Mountain U.S. Post Office and General Store, originally run by the Bailey Family, are completely intact and filled with antiques and mountain artifacts. The last Baileys to work the property retired in 2018 and passed the torch to a new family. Our family.
Appreciating the legacy and sense of history, we are working hard to restore the old and bring in the new. Our dearest wish is to create a special mountain experience for all who wish to share in the magic of Palomar. Share the next exciting chapter of this fascinating historic property with us.
Come on up – we’d love to host you!

I love that this place is just over an hour from home. This was our second time staying here. Both times we stayed in a Yurt. The yurts are really nice. The kitchen and bathroom in the Yurt is so convenient. We were missing a lighter and cutting board and they brought them to us right away.
They are growing. I hope they continue to keep the logging's far enough away from each other that you can be in your own world.
The yurts exceeded our expectations! The heater works amazing and it's like a perfect hotel room suite in nature. Good sized fridge and stove made it easy to cook meals. Having a private deck and fire pit was so nice. The playground with zip line and petting zoo were favorites of the kids.
Property was a beautiful and well taken care of getaway. The Cedar Cabin was very well appointed, comfortably sized for a family, had gorgeous views, and felt secluded even though it was only a short walk away from the center of the property. It looked even better/bigger in person than in the photos on the website, with new living room furniture and new queen sleeper sofa too. Our kids loved the extensive playground, fishing in the pond, and visiting the petting farm, all within 10 minutes walk. We stayed 3 nights and didn't leave the property even though we'd been expecting to need to. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and kind, and any questions we had during our stay could be conveniently asked/answered via text message. Highly recommend for a relaxing family vacation and experiencing the outdoors without giving up convenience or comfort!
We’ve been here several times. The first night the heater wasn’t working well. But in the morning the staff brought us another space heater. It’s a great place for a 2-5 night vacation. They did a lot of work on the grounds since the new owners took over. And the new huts are set way back in the Woods. You need to be a little patient w the older cabins but over all we had a great time.
This is a luxury cabin getaway. Just bring what you need and enjoy being truly away from it all.
This is the 3rd year in a row my daughter and I chose Bailey's on Palomar to host our annual girl's relaxation getaway!
We always have a great time! The rooms are clean and so unique. The staff have always been super friendly and very accommodating. This year was extra special because it was the first time we brought the dog and the first time my daughter saw it snow!
Can't wait to go back next year!
