About Property

Rediscover the joys of pristine nature and sleep under the stars at Lion's Den, the most popular and secluded glamping retreat by Alter Experiences. Located within the Burnt Rancheria camp of the Cleveland National Forest in Mount Laguna, California, this unique site offers a nature-immersive experience that blends the thrill of the great outdoors with modern comfort.

This expansive site is designed for groups, featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 beds to accommodate up to 8 guests. The sleeping arrangements are a diverse mix of luxury and adventure: a spacious bell tent equipped with a queen mattress and sofa bed, and a dedicated bell tent lounge featuring two additional sofa beds. For a truly unique perspective, the site includes a double tree tent and a two-story triple tree tent, both of which provide an elevated living space suspended between the trees. Two Trillium hammocks are also included for ultimate relaxation.

While there are no general amenities listed in the structured data, the site is fully outfitted for a seamless stay. The bell tents are staged for luxury with rugs, plush floor pillows, solar-powered lights, and propane heaters. The tree tents come complete with sleeping pads, sleeping bags, and pillows. Guests have access to a private lounge area, an outdoor fire-pit, and a camp kitchen featuring a 17' Blackstone Griddle, portable cooker, and essential cookware. Communal hot showers and bathrooms (with flush or composting toilets) are available on-site.

Situated at an elevation of over 6,000 feet, the property is nestled among some of the tallest pine, conifer, and oak trees in Southern California. The remote location offers a tranquil escape with the historic town of Julian just 30 minutes away and Lake Cuyamaca a short 15-minute drive. The journey along Sunrise Highway is an experience in itself, showcasing the dramatic contrast between mountain forests and the Anza-Borrego desert.
