Place was exactly what we were looking for. It’s quite a ways out in the hills but if that’s what you are looking for then this is the place.

Beautiful location

The location is stunning! The home is well kept and beautiful. The beds are so comfortable! It was unfortunate that we happend to be there during a heatwave (daily highs of 105°!) Coming from the desert of Arizona, we are used to having air conditioning but they had plenty of floor and table fans to help move the air around. T

Quiet House, Great View, Relaxing

Our family stayed over Labor Day weekend. The house was perfect for the 4 of us. Karen was very fast on responding to my questions. Very quiet location. Clean home. Nice afternoon/evening breeze. Close by to Escondido/San Marcos. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Excellent hosts

The property is nice - no frills but comfortable beds. A good place to sleep and perhaps cook a meal or two. The hosts went the extra mile for us when there was a bit of a glitch re my VRBO account. Really appreciated that!!

Charming & comfortable 1960's-'70s era ranch

Very comfortable for two couples and a single. Adventure to get to, great winding country roads and once you arrive there is a wonderful view from the deck. After a couple of trips we drove like the locals! Had a wonderful time, this was a return visit to this property. Wonderful owners are on site and very responsive and helpful. This time we were not in charge of the dates since we were attending a wedding. We did hit very warm weather and wished for some AC! We would definitely return on our own schedule, when the temperatures are forecast to be a bit cooler!

Sweet and comfortable home conveniently located on the same street as the wedding venue!

The hosts were easy to work with and they even provided a wonderful pantry, fresh fruit, and delicious organic basil to enjoy! Comfortably fit 8, and the view and breeze from the deck was so relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful VRBO experience.

Wonderful and relaxing!

Karen was a great host. We arrived late at night in the darkness and were disoriented. She answered her phone and helped us get into the house while mentioning which were the best wineries to go to. The next day she made us banana bread and dropped it off on the front porch to give us privacy. We checked out their organic basil farm and got a delightful tour from Chris, the super friendly and knowledgeable manager. We had a blast and will definitely be back. Thank you Karen and Chris !

Charming & Quiet

Our entire stay was lovely throughout. We were looking for a quiet place to spend New Year's eve, away from all the hustle and bustle of the big city, and this place was just that and more. The home is charming and extremely comfortable for 8 adults and two dogs as we never felt crowded in any single room. We had some trouble with the wifi connection but it was quickly resolved with a single phone call to the home owner. This is an ideal place for nature lovers, bicyclist and hikers. A big thank you to the owners for opening their home to us. We look forward to another visit sometime in the near the future.

A cycling week at Valley Center VRBO 509798

Booked on short (8 hour) notice, owner very accommodating and responsive. Property is a bungalow type residence in rural area 15 miles NE of Escondido. Paved road access to high country location, agricultural area with fruit trees and greenhouse operations. Quiet, but close enough to I-15 for easy access to services etc. We spent most days road biking on various nearby mountain and coast roads. Excellent paved roads, bike lanes on many roads, excellent place to bike. Particularly spectacular sunsets from west deck and of course, the San Diego area has the best weather in North America, a welcome respite from Alberta winter. Highly recommended.

Not recommendable

The air conditioner didn't work and there was only a fan to help the hot air circulate. I don't find it worth the price. The house was stuffy and not so clean. There were spider webs everywhere. There are people that live in the bottom area; no privacy.
