We could not have imagined or hoped for a more perfect setting for the gathering of our family. It is a stunning property. We spent most of our time on the huge deck surrounding the fire pit and surrounded by the peace and beauty of the Palomar forest. But most special of all is the view. It filled and soothed the soul. Everything about the property was as advertised. It had a very homey feel and it was very well stocked. The master en suite was gorgeous. We did not use the hot tub (we'll be back to try it!)Property manager/owner, Michael, was so very kind and easy to communicate with - best owner experience I have had on any STR site, ever.

Incredible Property

This place was perfect for our group. We enjoy spending time outside in nature and there were so many spots to enjoy the scenery, views, trees, pond and stream here. The views and the deck were breathtaking and so were the stars. Communication was great, we were provided with everything we needed and appreciated greatly the generous check in and checkout times. We hope we get the chance to return here! Truly a gem!

The property was amazing. The grounds were beautiful with a stunning view. There was everything you could ask for in a kitchen for cooking, baking and plenty of spices to choose from. They had an extensive collection of games. There was no reason to leave the property. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend stay. Michael was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. The property was only a 16 minute walk to one of the lookouts and it was a very pleasant walk. I would most definitely recommend.

Beautiful property, enjoyable stay.

What a lovely house and property. My group enjoyed walking the grounds, using the jacuzzi, and relaxing with our coffee on the deck early in the mornings of our two night stay. Apart from a couple of minor inconveniences, we highly recommend this property and many of the group expresses a desire to rent this property again in the future.

Beautiful, peaceful location

We enjoyed our stay very much. The grounds are beautiful, with amazing views. The location is very private. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything that we needed. Teens enjoyed the spa, the ping pong table, and frisbee golf. The toaster oven should be replaced as you can’t read the controls because it is so old. We would love to come back.

Favorite House

We have been doing an annual NYE trip for 11 years and this is our 3rd time here! It’s a beautiful property and the house has everything we need. In the past there has been snow so we took advantage of some of the hills. This year there wasn’t snow but that meant we could enjoy outside more and play yard games. We plan to stay here again!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway!

We had an amazing time! The home was beautiful and accommodated our large party very well. You can't beat the view! Sitting around the fire pit on the deck with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and taking in the scenery and the peace and quiet was such a treat. We enjoyed exploring around the property and even got to play in the snow. The home was so well stocked. Everything was set up so nice and welcoming. Would definitely go back!! Only drawback was that the wifi wasn't great.

Great place for a family gathering

We got our family together for our annual stay. This is, by far, the best place we found to stay in several years. There’s lots of room, very clean, very well equipped. And we had quite a bit of snow left over from the week before so the kids had a lot of fun sledding. We never left the property during the four days we were there.
