You are close enough to enjoy all the activities that San Diego has to offer but also able to enjoy a relaxing and quiet experience down on the farm. Stunning panoramic views of beautiful foothills and tranquil country life await you.

Quiet and accommodating
Quiet area with beautiful views. We enjoyed relaxing each evening on the front porch area and having a cookout. The accommodations were great, enjoyed the comfy bed and walk in shower. Had everything we needed for our short visit. Andy addressed any needs or concerns quickly and efficiently.

Unique
This was a great property. Sad our flight got in later than expected and we didn't arrive until after dark and we were only staying one night. It's off the beaten path but not too difficult to find in the dark. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. Excellent host.

Beautiful and clean
The property was absolutely gorgeous, everything clean and looked new. Waking up to seeing the animals was so lovely, I wish we had more time on our trip to enjoy all the scenery but we only had one night. The host was very communicative and very helpful throughout the stay. Absolutely recommend this for a weekend getaway !
