WOW! Cool house, property and location. Very private and warm.

We were in the area for a wedding and this property was close by. It was super clean and all the beds felt like we were at a high end hotel. The property is in the heart of Ramona's wine country in a secluded area right next to a county park. There's a lake within walking distance, trails, playgrounds and just a great atmosphere. It felt like a colorado mountain getaway, we wish we could have stayed longer!

after the entire family quarantined before coming together in this homey mountain retreat we were all so very pleased with the property. The owner went up and beyond putting just enough christmas decorations to make it have that special feel. It was very clean and felt safe and we all had a very memorable time.

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.

Nice place few issues

The property was nice, but there were a couple of issues. The game room was so hot, we couldn't spend much time in it. The dishes in the kitchen cabinet we dirty, we had to wash the dishes before using them. There was a open half gallon of ice cream in the game room freezer that still had a spoon in it. toilet paper hardware fell of the wall in one of the bathrooms. Most of the outside lights did not work, had to use the hot tub in the dark.

Quiet Retreat

I took my 3 boys on an annual golf trip and this place was perfect. Quiet , clean and very relaxing. Golfed in San Bernardo ( 25 min ) and Carlsbad ( 50 min ) . What looked like a lil grocery store just as you turn left onto the 67 also has great pizza. (The Works is awesome ) ! Back to the house. We enjoyed sitting out on the back deck listening to the frogs serenading us. At dusk the mosquitoes come out but not really an issue if you have some wipes or spray. At dark they are a non-issue. Carissa very nice and easy to deal with. I highly recommend this retreat.

One of the best vacation rentals I’ve stayed at

Where to begin... Our group of 12 stayed at the mountain retreat for a weekend getaway in the wine country of Ramona and Carissa & Cory were amazing hosts! They had all the details covered. The home was beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. The kids enjoyed playing outside and hiking around during the day and loved “the adventure room” for their own night retreat of movies and video games. The house is very spacious and the location of the home was ideal because although you feel like you are miles away everything you need in town is just minutes down the road. There’s even a local deli that delivers which was a life saver after a day at the wineries. The beds and linens were comfortable and cozy. The mornings were peaceful to sit on the patio, gaze at the gorgeous mountain side, listen to sounds of nature, sip on coffee and relax with friends and family. None of us wanted our stay to end and we all look forward to returning again. We highly recommend this retreat.

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.

Fantastic Location and lots of fun

We stumbled upon this house and Ramona,CA while looking at locations to book for New Years. We still can’t seem to figure out how we found this house but we are all very glad we did. The house is cozy and fit our 2 families very comfortably. With 4 boys there was plenty of outdoor activities for them and we brought bicycles so they would ride over to the park next door and hang out or go exploring. The area was very secluded and safe and Carissa was very communicative and friendly with requests and questions. We are looking forward to coming back in the Spring or Summer!
