About Us

Once a respite for film stars of the Golden Age looking for a hideaway from Hollywood, the town of Jacumba has lived many lives throughout its history. Mecca for healing in therapeutic waters. Home to an Impossible Railroad. Secret hideout for underworld rogues of yesteryear. Surrounded by a vast landscape of bouldery mountains scattered with pictographs and matatés of the Kumeyaay people. Many tales lie beneath the soil here.

Hotel

The hotel has 20 artisan rooms and several mineral-rich pools with regenerative benefits, as well as a patio restaurant and grotto bar for guests and passers-through. Beyond the walls of the hotel lies the town of Jacumba, afloat in time and space – a place unto itself that has to be discovered to be believed.

TOWN

Cruise along Old Highway 80 and find yourself in a mystical oasis of the Sonoran Desert. An hour’s drive from downtown San Diego yet worlds away. Once you are here, nothing else matters.

ABOUT US

Owners Jeff, Melissa and Corbin fell in love with the town at first sight for the indescribable and specific magic found in high desert mountains of Jacumba. Its crumbling edifices begged to be renewed. The trio spent several years breathing life back into the property and stewarding the renewal of the town’s spring-fed natural landscape that had gone untended through the years, drawing inspiration from places like Morocco, Mexico and beyond.
