Beautiful Views and Comfy Cabin
Everything about this property was as advertised and the views were spectacular. The cabin was comfortable and the bed was cozy. You should know that staying at this property is more like glamping than staying the house next door or the mansion down the street. You have a somewhat narrow path to navigate to get there and, of course, there's the outhouse and composting toilet. The outhouse is close and cute, also with views. We kind of underestimated the pleasures of modern plumbing but, in reality, the composting toilet worked well and was easy to operate. The hills surrounding the property look to be full of great hiking trails. In short, as long as you're okay with the whole outhouse/composting toilet, the property is great! I highly recommend.

The outdoor space and the view are incredible
Amazing views of Lake Hodges. The deck patio first step is broken and my wife rolled her ankle on it right before we left. Other than that and inconsistency in the hot water for the shower, it was an awesome space with two sweet goats and chickens!

Views to die for!
A cute cabin up on the hill. A trail up to the garden , through a jungle, duck under beautiful huge cactus, Not your ordinary Vrbo; the outdoor shower was exilerating, composting toilet was a new experience. The mist on the lake in the morning was spectacular. The pool would be great on a hot summer day. I might build a couple cabins at my ranch in the mountains.

Perfect for two
This was the perfect spot for a one night getaway for two! Would recommend bringing slip on shoes for going to and from bathroom in the middle of the night- a little further than I had imagined but really not far at all. Goats were very cute and communication w/host was easy. There is a second Airbnb property that people were staying at so it felt a tad less private than I had hoped but still very secluded overall. Great if you’re on your way down the coast and want to stop somewhere quiet and beautiful for the night.
