Greatest little getaway!

We loved staying here. The bed was comfy, everything was very clean, the fridge had nice cold waters for us, the property is gorgeous, and we cherished our time getting to know the owners over a lovely home cooked breakfast on the weekend!

Amazing Getaway

Our stay couldn’t have been better and exceeded our expectations! The detailed communications from Bruce and Gail, which included arrival directions, amenities, and last day information, made our stay at the cabin stress free. The cabin was clean and stocked with everything we needed. We were even welcomed with fresh baked bread! We were treated like family, rather than guests. Thank you so much, Gail and Bruce.

A little piece of heaven

Our stay at the ranch was wonderful. The cabin was just as described with little touches that were much appreciated. We enjoyed the quiet mornings on the porch and the refreshing swims in the pool. Was the perfect place for my husband and I to unwind and relax. If you are looking for a peaceful place to land this is it.

Peaceful cozy cottage, pretty setting and great hosts!

Had a wonderful stay at Surfing Cowboy. Hosts Gail and Bruce were very welcoming and friendly. Friendly dogs too! The cozy cottage on their ranch was really nice, comfortable, clean, with plenty of amenities. Was very quiet and peaceful. Made a great base for exploring the Ramona area, and close enough to San Diego if you wanted (or needed) to get into the city.

Mother/Daughter Weekend Getaway

My daughter and I spent a couple nights in this adorable cabin celebrating her earning her Masters Degree. Gail was so thoughtful to have graduation decorations out when we arrived along with a delicious carrot zucchini bread. We enjoyed horseback riding nearby, spending a day in Julian visiting tea and pie shops, exploring LaJolla, and surfing Tourmaline in San Diego. The location was fantastic, the cabin was immaculate, and the hosts were so wonderfully thoughtful. Our stay could not have been better.

Quick, quiet getaway

This cozy little cabin was just the right fit. We arrived to a nice warm cabin on a cool evening. Our hosts left a delicious sweet potato- pumpkin bread for us. There was a nice selection of coffee and tea for the Keurig. We slept wonderfully, due to the comfy pillows and quiet country location. We will definitely book again.

Bruce and Gail were incredibly hospitable, the cabin was super cozy and the theme of the cabin was to die for! They were both very sweet and more than happy to attend to any questions or concerns we had. The area of the location was beautiful, and it was a great getaway trip for the weekend.

Great little getaway !

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We were in Ramona for a friends child's wedding. This was a perfect temporary home base for us and is a fantastic little place. It was quiet and only 5 minutes or so away from the main Ramona strip. I can't say enough about how welcoming and helpful the hosts were. Even after checkout the hosts were gracious. I highly recommend !!

I had such a positive, peaceful experience doing an online silent retreat while staying at this property. The decor was beautiful and attention to detail was apparent. The hosts were extremely kind and supportive. Everything I needed was in the home. The surrounding area and property provided such calm, peace and beauty. I highly recommend this place for others!

About the host

Hosted by Bruce and Gail Denham

The Owners, Bruce & Gail, have 32 years together building many homes, a 2 year sailing adventure with their family, started a Jet Ski rental Adventure company in San Diego and now their Amazing Surfing Cowboy Ranch with a Micro-greens Farm, fruit orchard, garden and a variety of animals. We'd love you to be a part of the Ranch Family.

Why they chose this property

This is the place if you are desiring a quiet peaceful piece of nature while still being able to enjoy some city life. Ramona is a cute town with a nice bit of nightlife. "The Barn", a restaurant in town, has dancing and live music on weekends or wander off to a large variety of wineries. Feeling energetic there is a waterfall near the area (20 min away),Cedar Creek Falls, rock climbing areas, and in August an Awesome Rodeo in town!!!. We have Rascal our cool cat, our mascots, Admiral & Joy & 6 chickens. Also if your looking for some great healthy nutrition we have a Microgreens farm you can stop by to see and taste.

What makes this property unique

You will be in the quiet of the country but not too far from the city so you get the best of both worlds. Enjoy!
