About this property

Large Custom Guest House On Hill Top Estate In Bonsall

The guest house is ideal for a relaxed retreat from everyday life. Located only 15 minutes from major cities, this 15 acre estate offers a level of peace and serenity that is hard to find while still being close enough to everything to enjoy live entertainment, exquisite meals, challenging golf course, ocean beaches, world class family resorts, major casinos, and award winning wines.

Situated slightly lower on the property than the main house, it offers a private and undisturbed sanctuary for your time away from home. The large bedroom is located at the edge of the hill and presents views of the valleys heading both north to Temecula and west to the ocean. This room is loaded with windows and receives cool evening breezes with the windows open. A full sized stacked washer and dryer is located in the bedroom for your convenience, and there is plenty of storage in the full size dresser and closet.

The other main room of the house contains both the kitchen and the living room, but this space is so large that you will never feel crowded. The kitchen boasts full size appliances (gas range and oven), large refrigerator with ice maker, and miles of counter space (including a butcher block island). There is a comfortable table suitable for four adults to enjoy home cooked meals in the kitchen space, and another 4 person table outside on the patio to enjoy the evening breeze and sunsets while eating on the private patio.

The living room has a love seat and a sleeper sofa (queen), and the smart TV is wirelessly connected to the internet to stream HD content (Netflix and Vudu), access DirecTV, or use the Blu-ray player for your favorite movies. We have a library of movies that can be loaned on request.

There are views from every window/door that are incredible as the property is located on top of the hill at the end of a private road. The driveway is gated and the property is fenced around the immediate house, but there is an additional 4 acres adjacent to the guest house path that is fenced and occupied by our three goats, Donkey, and Llama. The remaining 10 acres is not fenced, but is available for your exploration, and includes a (neglected) lime grove. Most of the land is rugged and covered with original chaparral growth, boulders, and wildlife, but does offer the most impressive views in all of Bonsall and has a maintained dirt road for ease of access.

This was a very nice stay for a family of 4. The views from the house are incredible and access to various sights and destinations in the Carlsbad-San Diego area is very convenient. The kitchen-living room area was spacious enough that everyone in the family was able to spread out and not feel crammed in. The host was awesome and ensured that we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

I can't say enough good about this absolutely beautiful guest house and it's gracious hosts!I was in California with a friend and her two small dogs for an event and booked this stay months in advance. I am so grateful I did because this beautiful home offered a peaceful and restful haven after some long hot days. Helen and Jay are the kindest people you will ever meet and the guesthouse just has a peaceful and welcoming feel. There are beautiful views over the valley and orchards, stunning landscape and gardens and ocean breeze on the balcony with a private courtyard. The house is next to the owners property but very private offering a balance of privacy and security. The home is well stocked with kitchen cleaning and linens etc. If you like being within reach of shopping and services but out of the rat race you will not find better than this. I would give ten stars if I could it's just an amazing place and wonderful hosts

Christmas Vacation

Place was beautiful and had all the amenities you could possibly need. We loved having coffee on the deck every morning and even brought our dogs as well as they loved the quiet and paths to take walks on. We will be staying here every time we come to visit family! Highly recommend!

Love this Casita

This is the second time we stayed here and will absolutely be back again. The property is beautiful and exactly as pictured- rural but less than 10 minutes to the I-15 freeway, so convenient to everything. The hosts are super nice people and easy to work with.
