    We loved our stay! We brought our dog and she had a great time playing with their dogs and pigs. We loved the beautiful, quiet, rural, ranch setting. The cabin/casita was clean and very comfortable, and the owners were easy to reach when we had any questions. We definitely would recommend this property and intend to book again!

    The little guest house is spacious, with plenty of storage for clothing so you can unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. The kitchen has everything, including a Keurig. The bed and couch are very comfortable, and there is nearly instant hot water! Many windows give a lot of natural light, but foliage around the house provide privacy. There are horses, cats, dogs, a ram - very country - but 4 minutes down the road are Starbucks, a grocery store, etc. The hosts are wonderful - right there on site, and only a text away if you have any questions. It's a gem of a place. PS At night, you hear coyotes and owls - so special!

    Definetely nice to have your own little cottage with cooking and clothes washer. Beautiful remote location close to everything. Cottage is well kept and made well. Owners are friendly, and will engage with you if you have questions, but otherwise leave you alone to enjoy the place.

    What a wonderful place to stay. Absolutely everything we needed was there on the property. The location was absolutely perfect, easy trip to cities, shopping and the coast. What interaction we had with the hosts was Pleasant and efficient. Would hope to stay here with them again.

    We needed a safe quiet place to stay with our two cats while our house was getting tented, and this spot was perfect! Clean and cozy, plenty of amenities, and we got to meet some of the resident animals (pigs and pugs and ponies, oh my!). Thank you, William and Holly!

    The guest house is comfortable and nicely updated. It is a great location, about 20 minutes to Carlsbad beach and relatively close to all San Diego sights. We enjoyed lots of adventures, hiking, exploring, and beach days.Tip: this is a working ranch and very dog friendly. Please note that there are several dogs, and a cute little pig, that roam freely about the property. They are friendly, but be aware that your dog needs to be ok with that. It is a secluded location and when the dogs hear something, they may bark at night.

    Beautiful property. Our living space was clean and nicely upgraded. The property is a mini-ranch that we were free to roam. The hosts were friendly and informative. Legoland and other places are not far. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. We will likely stay again.

    It was such a comfortable cabin and the owners are really nice accommodating people. Close enough to town but fun to hang out at property. The grounds were fun to walk around on and perfect for our dog. The animals are adorable and friendly. We will be going back. It was right up our alley!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the casitas! It was a very comfortable space with fine attention to details. Beautiful woodwork in the kitchen, which was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. For coffee lovers, they had a kurig, coffee pot & French press with an electric kettle. Property grounds were beautiful and the property was very secure. Can’t wait to go back!!!

    I was absolutely satisfied with the excellent environment and the property owner. I wished I could have stayed longer, but unfortunately, the place was already booked. I would definitely love to stay here again.
