Cabin vacation rentals in Dana Point

Beautiful cabin and super friendly and helpful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! We loved making fires inside with the provided wood. The views were beautiful, and lots of great places to hike just a short drive away. Perfect spot for relaxing.

Purchased a 2-night stay for my parents in celebration of Valentine's weekend. The original cabin I selected had a power outage but Eddie (park manager) quickly found a replacement cabin for my parents. He was very responsive and quickly resolved the issue. My parents enjoyed their weekend and couldn't talk enough about how beautiful and peaceful the park was. They really enjoyed the lake views and surrounding areas with lots of restaurants and bars! Thanks again to Eddie for communicating with me and ensuring my gift was a success!

We had the most wonderful stay in this peaceful and cozy home! The amenities are amazing and the wood fired sauna was the cherry on top. The host was very responsive throughout our entire stay and provided us with everything we needed. The location is impeccable, in the middle of the forest and surrounded by beauty and quiet. We really didn’t want to leave this place but will definitely be back again soon! The home is so unique and very well equipped. We can’t wait to repeat our trip back here!

Beautiful spot! Close drive to the wineries and incredible surroundings. Will definitely be back!

Very nice and quiet area, if you wanna stay away from everything then this is the perfect little spot for you. Enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay again when I want to get away.

Beautiful A-frame cabin with great views from the top floor! The common spaces (living room, dining area, and kitchen) are much more spacious than they look in the pictures. Kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils, bedrooms were spotless, and check-in and check-out instructions are clear. The fireplace is tricky to operate (especially if you’ve never built a fire) but the hosts provide a really useful instructional video. In terms of location, it’s an easy drive to the observatory and hiking trails. The one minus is that you can see and hear the neighbors on all sides and, since the property is not fenced, we encountered their off-leash dogs in the front yard a couple of times. The dogs are all friendly but, if you are traveling with your own dogs or children, this is something to keep in mind.

Stayed 5 days here with hubby for our 10 year anniversary. What started off as a jam packed itinerary quickly melted away into just staying in the cabin and relaxing. We were totally okay with it just being just us, in this peaceful space. Being able to bring our furry friends was absolutely amazing and made our vacation even more stress free knowing they are with us. Hosts made this experience incredibly easy. Instructions were incredibly thorough and I'm very glad we payed attention to them because the drive was like no other. 10/10 Would absolutely do again!

My family and I were pleasantly surprised with the location. The location is located on a farm with an orchard, horses, chickens, and sheep. The location is very quiet and peaceful, especially when we took walks in the morning. Our host was responsive, as well as the caretaker who stays on the large property. We would definitely stay here again.

The view was impeccable and the property and house were very spacious. We enjoyed the individuality of the decor. We were lucky enough to have snow for our visit. Our 4x4 made it possible for us to traverse the road safely but it would have been treacherous without 4x4 or chains. We had a bit of trouble at check-in (our fault) and the host was friendly and prompt to assist us. Fantastic property for our large family gathering. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful place and an excellent stay all around

Loved my stay! Very cute and perfect space for a getaway. The location was easy to find. I loved the look of the house. Very peaceful and away from any main roads. The vibe was great. Would definitely stay there again :)

This place is exactly what you see. You have all the privacy you need, but you're not too far away from the market. Finding the place, getting inside and the amount of things that you can do at the home, makes it worth the stay. The house was spotless, and everything in the house works. No surprises.

We loved staying here with my dog - the cabin was a perfect size for the two (three with the dog) of us! The kitchen is well-equipped with appliances and cookware - despite the small size, we were able to cook lovely meals and snacks. The view is amazing and quiet - loved sitting outside to eat. It was nice to walk around and meet the animals on site. Easy drives to lots of beautiful hiking. Dawn was extremely responsive, both quick and helpful with our questions. We definitely plan to return!

Place was adorable!! I will say some of the drive was scary like we were driving through a cloud so just make sure you don’t drive late at night. I’m sure it was just cause the time of year but still! Overall loved the place and are so happy we got to stay here!!

Staying at the Lilac Cabin was like stepping into a warm hug. From the moment we arrived, the charm of the cabin wrapped around us—it’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. The decor struck the perfect balance between rustic and refined, with thoughtful touches everywhere, from soft blankets to warm lighting that made every evening feel magical.

Beautiful peaceful relaxing getaway, we would definitely stay again!!

Victoria's place is a real gem. It feels like a magical enchanted cottage. The location 2/3 of the way up Palomar mountain is majestic, and the views are to die for. One thing to know is that it can get cold up there in the mountain, even in late April, but it feels very cozy in the cottage because of the wood-burning stove, the blankets, and the board games. My friends and I liked it so much we're already planning when to come back.

Emil was absolutely wonderful. Super great communication, with an awesome, clean and beautiful house. Had everything you could want or need while on vacation. Made my stay easy, comfortable and relaxing. I will definitely be staying with Emil again!

Had a great stay at Bonnie’s place. Very warm and cozy. Didn’t expect snow at the end of April but it was a pleasant surprise.

This was our 2nd visit to the cabin. It was cozy, the wall heater in the master was a great addition. Denise's directions are perfect! we loved having the window open during great the day to hear nature go about it's day.
