    If you want peace and quiet, this is a good spot. Nice views and lake access. Pool is great and the house is welcoming. The hosts were very helpful. Everything we needed was available. A bit of a drive from shops or attractions, not a big deal but something to keep in mind. We would stay again.

    This place is amazing and worked so well for our family. The views are incredible and the house is well laid out and takes advantage of the beautiful surroundings. It is also thoughtfully appointed and we had everything we needed. Angie provided excellent directions to the property, which is secluded, but we were able to get there easily in an large transit van. Several members in our group said it was the best VRBO they've stayed at and the kids didn't want to leave! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    We had everything we needed and a whole lot more. It really felt like home. The host was extremely helpful when needing extra supplies. They were very helpful in getting there in the first place because it was a little bit complicated, but nevertheless, we had the most beautiful time and the most beautiful view.

    Getting to the property was a bit of a challenge, but if you follow the directions and advice of the owner, you will be fine. So totally worth the 15-20 minute drive up the mountain. We were there for a wedding family wedding with 6 people, and there was more than enough room. The property was well stocked and very comfortable. My expectations were exceeded.

    The house and views are amazing but it was not well advertised that the road to the house was 20 minutes of dirt, tight turns, and made everyone in the car sick.

    Property Description secluded, 1,700 feet above sea level, and located on a 4-mile dirt road. If you are scared of heights you may get nervous on the 1/2 mile, 16-foot wide, county and fireman-approved permitted concrete driveway that switches backs up my mountain... It is highly recommended to arrive in the daylight for the first time.” did not mention approx. 4 miles of narrow, bumpy, and dangerous dirt roads that are unnavigable in a sedan/small car OR AT NIGHT. No street lights/reflector strips/guard rails, and had steep drop-offs at the road's edge. Because of these missing details, we were not prepared for the drive up to the house (in daylight) and none of us (all 8 adults who are not afraid of heights or dirt roads) were comfortable driving up/down the mountain at night, nor would any ride-share. Knowing this information ahead of our booking, we would NOT HAVE RENTED THIS HOUSE. The purpose of our visit was to attend nieces’ rehearsal dinner & wedding - two EVENING events (sat. & sun) which would have prohibited us from attending due to dangerous road conditions at night. We contacted prop. mgr immediately upon arrival (Fri) and let them know we could not stay and would be leaving first thing Sat. AM but willing to pay for one night. We left the house Sat. AM and stayed at hotel for the remainder of our stay. PropMgr / home-owner would not refund nights not stayed. BUYER BEWARE!

    The property offers stunning views and a comfortable stay. My family enjoyed the thrilling drive up and down the mountain. The pool was a great amenity. The location is convenient to San Diego. Angie was responsive and provided helpful directions to the house with photos. We had a wonderful time. The peaceful and relaxing vacation was exactly what we needed. We would definitely consider renting again.

    The home is beautiful and pretty well equipped to be able to enjoy a nice family vacation. The kitchen is well stocked and the pool is amazing. Guests need to be aware of the distance to get up there, it’s definitely a mountain top! From the exit of the freeway to the front door is a 12.5 mile curvy stretch. The last 4 miles are up the hill with some paved sections and some non-paved (dirt and gravel). It’s not a pleasant way up especially if you didn’t know before hand what to expect. Knowing this information ahead of time will help make decisions as to whether you actually want to rent this house and be better prepared. If we would have known this prior to the day of the reservation we might not had rented this place or we would at least had stopped at the grocery store prior to making the 12.5 mile trip up to the house. My goal in providing this information is to not discourage anyone from renting this place but to help inform you of the location so that it can be taken into consideration as you make plans. You are also advised to try to get to the house prior to sunset for safety reasons given the conditions of the road and active wildlife.
