Better than I could imagine!
This place had everything we could need and more. Outside games for the kids. Huge well thought out and maintained yard. Very comfortable beds. We did an egg hunt and the yard is the best for it. Our host got back to us very quickly and just really nice people. It was Easter Sunday and they still came by to help with an issue that was resolved in seconds. One of the best parts was the fully functioning throw back game room. It was nostalgic but still up to date. Not a thing was left out. It allowed my grandkids to experience what games were back when I was a kid. And I got to share that with them. They all want to come back. Truly magical. Thank you for the experience.

This place has it all! Everyone in your party will find something they love. Beautiful hike around the property, fun outdoor games, a ride into town for antique shopping, use the completely decked out game room, relaxing in the hot tub, and I could go on and on! This is a well thought out and stocked home! Enjoy!!

Relaxing family get together.
This property was excellent for meeting together with several family members in a relaxing location and yet close enough to Poway to easily visit a relative in a care facility. The game room and outdoor activities were very good. We all slept well. Dining room and kitchen were the center of our indoor socializing and worked well. Nice private outdoor area. We had a very enjoyable stay. The owners were available if we would have needed any help, which we didn't.

Response:John, thank you for taking excellent care of our home. We are so glad that everyone enjoyed their stay and memories were made while enjoying time as a family. We hope to host you again for your future visits.

Beautiful Secluded Retreat
The property is fantastic. A great place to get away from it all while still being close enough to explore the San Diego area. The home is very nice and the game room makes the place fantastic. The property has room to do lots of exploring while also playing some outdoor family games of disc golf, horseshoes, cornhole, etc. Looking forward to going back with the family soon!

Excellent family home in a natural location
We enjoyed holiday time with our family gathering from Texas, Illinois and California. This lovely home met our needs for both the little ones and adults in our four family units. Even though the weather turned a bit damp, we were still able to enjoy the property, hike to Potato Chip Rock, and drive into San Diego for the Zoo and Coronado Island beach time. Carissa is an excellent host and was very prompt with answering questions and meeting our needs. The whole group especially enjoyed the hot tub in the cold weather. We were glad we chose this home for this trip.

Perfect Family Retreat
The pictures looked good when we made the reservation, but they really don’t do justice to this amazing property. We loved everything about the accommodations, although my 10 and 11 yr old boys are now spoiled for life after 5 days with that incredible game room. The Potato Chip Rock hike is a must do! Carissa was super responsive and easy to work with. I could not recommend this place more.

Great Space
The home and property were amazing -- exceeding our expectations. Though we weren't that far away from San Diego proper -- it felt like we were 100s of miles away. A campground abuts the property -- thus, the strictly enforced quiet hours.

Wonderful retreat
We visited this home to get away from the city with our family for a few days. The property is so serene and relaxing. The backyard is gorgeous and peaceful, and our boys loved exploring the grounds. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Carissa is incredibly responsive and goes out of her way to ensure a wonderful stay. Our boys keep asking when we can go back!
