Perfect Wedding weekend getaway!
We came to celebrate my Nephew’s wedding in Escondido and found this location near the wedding Venue. The best selling point that it was pet friendly. It was perfect to get to the rehearsal and wedding in minutes and know our fur baby was safe. It was a perfect getaway retreat with no traffic!! Would have loved to have used the fire pit but we were busy with the wedding. Definitely recommend this location for quick get away from the crazy city!!

We had a wonderful few days here catching up on family news. The only downsize was having the door open directly into the bedroom because of the babies nap times. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a place close to the Safari Park. Loved the fresh eggs!!

Perfect little escape
As soon as my husband and I arrived here I was transported to memories of vacations in Europe. This is the perfect little apartment to get away from it all, with beautiful views and surroundings - you really could be anywhere. Phil was very communicative and even made sure we could check in early which was very appreciated. Our request for fresh towels was met with total understanding and swift action. The entire stay was comfortable, relaxing and honestly one of our best rental choices. We were made to feel very welcome for the get go with a lovely personalized message and a variety of snacks and hot drinks laid out, on arrival. Seeing the chickens every morning was a personal highlight - they are very chatty. We didn’t get to make the most of the amenities like the patio and bbq etc but we will be back for sure! Thank you!

Little Slice of Heaven
Very welcoming feeling from the host before walking into a room with a view. The feeling of stepping back in time was refreshing and renewing. Falling into that bed every night, was 30 days of much needed rest. I slept so good, it must’ve been the peace and quiet. I can’t say enough about that bed and I’m already looking forward to it the next time I come. The house is a perfect set up, it’s away from the maddening crowd, beautiful and safe. I tried more new restaurants in the area and it’s close to freeway’s. A quiet peaceful leisurely walk awaits you and it’s around this precious neighborhood where I shed Five lbs. over my visit. Thank you once again to this sweet family that host a magical experience in Escondido California. I miss the chickens. See you soon.

Quiet and Privacy in a Rustic Setting
Communication with the owner, Phil, was very clear, concise and professional. The check in was automatic and easy. The place was charming, well appointed and comfortable. I found nothing was left wanting. Every need was filled. The area was amenable to long relaxing walks with the dogs or curling up with a good book. You cant beat the location… easy on and off Fwy access. Just perfect for my needs and I highly recommend booking a stay for anyone looking for warmth, comfort, quiet and to be surrounded by nature while close to city attractions.

Home away from home
This rental was outstanding! My wife and I brought our son who is in the Airforce in Oklahoma to spend a week with his brother who is serving in the Marines and preparing for deployment. We wanted to have a relaxing week together as a family prior to his ship date. This property was above and beyond what we expected. The bedroom has a huge and very comfortable bed, along with a very comfy trundle bed with two mattresses. Plenty of room for alk to sleep comfortably. There were board games, cards, reading books etc. There was also a closet with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The free wifi was great and a nice suze tv in tge luving area fully loaded with all apps typically used. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything you could possibly need. Fresh snacks and coffee as well. There were two very nice reclining leather sofas, a full bar type counter with chairs, a futon a dining tabke for four. The bathroom was fully stocjed with everything you need and a large tub and rainfall shower head. The towels and wash clothes were plush and plentiful. The property views were outstanding and the fire pit area complete with plenty of firewood was so relaxing. There was also a large are with comfortable patio space and furniture with a large gas grill we enjoyed cooking out on. This place was so peaceful and definitely pet friendly and clean. The hosts were very friendly and there to please. This place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!!

1000% Reccomended
My wife and I accompanying our son to Escondido for his college orientation at John Paul Catholic University in Escondido. We're were just 9 mins from the main campus! The accommodations for the three of us were perfect. Everything was thought of that we could ever need down to fresh eggs from the owners organically fed chickens! It really is a cute place with the space utilized so efficiently. My wife and I stayed in the main bedroom just after you enter the unit. Our son slept on the futon in the main living area. He could have also slept on the leather couches that recline! The views from the tree swing area and the fire pit on the property were pretty spectacular. Loved the bar and all the kitchen accoutrements behind it. We met Phil and he was such a gracious guy. Made sure we had everything and even pointed out the chopped wood for the smokeless fire pit. We thoroughly enjoy an evening with our son around the firepit the night before he began college and we took some pretty memorable pictures by firelight too! If you're thinking about this property... think no more and book it! You won't be disappointed.

A Hidden Gem!
Philip's property is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with gorgeous views. Everything was as advertised and there was even a little more space than it appeared on the listing. Checking-in and communicating with Philip was very easy, every detail you could think has been considered at this property, from extra bedding to farm fresh eggs in the fridge! Thanks again for a wonderful stay, Philip!

5 Star Stay
Our family loved this bungalo style housing. The place was spotless and comfortable with warm decorations and plenty of accommodations. We could barely get our daughters out of the tree swings. The bar style kitchen had everything we needed to gather for drinks or have a family dinner (fresh eggs are an added bonus). On cooler nights it was easy to get the rooms to a comfortable temperature. Everything was so well communicated and organized. We can't say enough about how much we loved staying here and will be coming back when in Southern California.

Amazing stay in comfy cottage
We had an absolute fabulous stay at this place. We had a pre check in - which was no issue since it’s entrance has a door code. The Phil was nice to leave the lights on and the house was nice and warm when we got there. It’s very clean and has nice touches. The kitchen is stocked - but wouldn’t cook big family meals as it’s quite small. But it was perfect for our 2 night stay. We also loved the outside. The children got to see the chickens and we were sooo lucky to score some chicken eggs (of course at discretion from Phil). Overall we were very happy and will definitely stay here again if where in the area. Thank you Phil

The pictures don’t do this place justice! The space is super cozy, spacious, and close to so many amenities. The owners greeted us upon arrival, kindly arranged treats and goodies for our dogs, and were even kind enough to bring us fresh baked dinner rolls on our last night.
