Escape to a modern-rustic sanctuary perched 3,600 feet above the world. Harrison Serenity Ranch offers a refined glamping experience that bridges California history with mindful, off-grid living.

Located on a private ridge surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest, our tiny home is an invitation to slow down. Whether you are watching the sunset hit the Pacific Ocean from your private deck or exploring ancient trails, you’ll find a level of peace here that only Palomar Mountain can provide.

The Tiny Home
Designed with intentional minimalism and warmth, the space features:
- The Sleeping Quarters: Plush queen bed, outfitted with fresh linens and positioned to offer forest views the moment you wake up.
- Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Large glass-panelled double doors open wide to a private redwood deck, inviting the mountain breeze inside and offering front-row seats to the valley below.
- Off-Grid Power: Your unit is equipped with a dedicated solar-powered battery system. This provides reliable interior lighting and allows you to charge small electronics like phones and tablets.
- Artesian Water: Experience the purity of mountain life with water drawn from our own artesian well, a source first claimed on this land in 1892.

The Ranch Experience
As a guest, you have general access to our historic 67-acre sanctuary:
- The Yoga Deck: A short, scenic walk leads you to our valley-view deck—the ultimate spot for sunrise meditation or stargazing under Palomar’s famously clear skies.
- History at Your Doorstep: Discover the property’s deep roots, from the nearby historic mortar stones (Native American grinding rocks) to the remains of Nate Harrison’s original stone house.
- Nature Trails: Wander through oak groves and pine forests on our private trail system. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including deer and red-tailed hawks.

Cancellation Policy: One hundred percent (100.00%) of the total booking charges (less $20.00 cancellation fee) will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 5 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 5 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

We are proud stewards of Harrison Serenity Ranch, a 67-acre off-grid retreat high on Palomar Mountain. Our vision is to share this unique place — where history, nature, and serenity meet — with guests who are looking for more than just a getaway. Powered by solar and fed by our artesian well, the ranch is designed to be self-sustaining while offering modern comforts in a natural setting. Our team lives and works on the property, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and peaceful environment for all who visit. A Camp Host is available 24 hours a day to assist with anything you might need. Whether you’re here for a weekend of hiking, stargazing, or simply slowing down, we look forward to making your stay relaxing and memorable.
