Short commute

Thank you Phil for opening up your home to use while our house in Murrieta was under repair. What a nice area of Escondido with excellent views of the valley below. Great soaking tub and all the conveniences were appreciated. Such a nice touch to offer fresh eggs, s’mores making supplies and snacks. Great, relaxing stay just moments from my work.

Wonderful stay and a friendly host

The owner was incredibly communicative and accommodating for my fiancé and I plus our dog. The property is beautiful and has a great view of the town. Everything was clean and the amenities were well taken care of. They even offered us fresh eggs from their coop which was a thoughtful touch. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay in Escondido

Charming and Quiet

This was the perfect place for me and my dog to stay while my house was being renovated. The bed is very comfortable, the bathtub is amazing, the kitchen is well-appointed. I heard nothing but the birds and an occasional car passing by as I sat under the massive oak tree and drank my morning coffee and worked. Great communication with the owner.

Management thought of everything. Location was ultra quiet, beautiful rural setting, property extremely well kept. Treats and coffee in the room, and it was actually multiple rooms, with closable door in between for privacy. Updated decor in very good taste. Clean and neat accommodations. Comfy pillows. Great directions, easy check in and check out. Will seek them out first for availability for future trips and have told our family about them already!

We had a wonderful few days here catching up on family news. The only downsize was having the door open directly into the bedroom because of the babies nap times. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a place close to the Safari Park. Loved the fresh eggs!!

Perfect Wedding weekend getaway!

We came to celebrate my Nephew’s wedding in Escondido and found this location near the wedding Venue. The best selling point that it was pet friendly. It was perfect to get to the rehearsal and wedding in minutes and know our fur baby was safe. It was a perfect getaway retreat with no traffic!! Would have loved to have used the fire pit but we were busy with the wedding. Definitely recommend this location for quick get away from the crazy city!!

Original Adobe and Blue Breakfast Egg

So lovely. So homey. Relaxing. Comfortable. We were visiting local family, in a high stress situation, and it was so nice to go “home” at the end of the day and feel settled. My two dogs were welcomed with dog treats. We were welcomed with snacks, s’more’s fixing, and fresh eggs -one blue- from on-site chickens. We’ll be back!

Comfortable, Clean, Quiet

I really enjoyed my time here. The bed was comfortable, the amenities were great, and I was easily able to relax. Great set up with the TV and bar. The electric stove, air fryer, fridge, and microwave have you all the amenities of home. I have stayed in other VRBO's where these aspects are missing. The shower is spacious, deep, and has great water pressure. There is a bidet too which is appreciated. The chickens were awesome, and the complimentary half dozen eggs were a nice treat. Phil was a very courteous host. There if you needed him, and gave you your space if you didn't. I will be coming back next year!
