About

White Oak Wild Nights in Alpine is San Diego County's only overnight safari stay, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom luxury retreat on 93 acres at the edge of the Cleveland National Forest along Martin Way. The property occupies the grounds of the accredited Lions Tigers & Bears exotic-animal sanctuary, where guided visits introduce guests to rescued lions, tigers, and bears between check-in and the evening firepit session. The retreat sleeps up to four adults aged 21 and over in a king and queen bedroom configuration appointed with stone fireplace, central HVAC, three flat-screen satellite TVs, surround-sound stereo, a full kitchenette, and an outdoor kitchen with a grill. Proceeds from each booking fund lifelong care for the sanctuary's rescued animals, pairing the conservation mission with the craft-beer culture that McIlhenney Brewing Co. anchors on Alpine Blvd for post-safari dining. Private chef services and curated wine pairings represent the highest-tier booking additions, converting the two-night package into a full-concierge retreat with custom menus designed around seasonal Alpine-sourced ingredients.
