About this property
San Diego Country Barndominium, Mountain Views, Spa, Deck, & More.
GET AWAY from the hustle & bustle of everyday life and spend quality time together in our Country Barndominium located in Valley Center, California in San Diego County. We are nestled among the lush citrus. avocado groves, vineyards and horse ranches. You will often hear the sounds of Red-Tail Hawks soaring through the blue skies from the upstairs PRIVATE DECK of this beautiful & spacious PRIVATE 1 BR - 1BA, full kitchen with a fabulous 180 degree mountain & sunset views. We are out here on almost 3 Acres so our neighbor properties are all spaced well. This Spacious & private Barndominium is .located out in the country down a country road. where there is no light pollution and we look at Mt. Palomar where the world famous Palomar Observatory is located. Downstairs, there is a private patio area with a BBQ and Spa, Seating with a grassy area to play games with a table to enjoy BBQing and eating food outdoors. . We offer a full kitchen with everything you would need including 3 coffee makers. During the spring we offer to fruit lovers, Tangelos, Tangerines right off our trees.

PRIVATE DECK with a great 180 degree mountain / sunset and grove views. Sit out and relax on cushy deck furniture watch the hawks and take in the peace and tranquility surrounding you.
NO PETS - PLEASE SEE PET POLICY BELOW.
ACTIVITIES / ATTRACTIONS / THINGS TO DO - CLOSE TO SOOOO MUCH! yet out and away.!! Only 15 Min. to easy freeway accessibility leading you to San Diego Zoo and Safari, Sea World, Lego-land, Museums, Down town San Diego Area, The Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, beaches galore, golf courses galore, Palomar Observatory, The Wine Tasting Safari, Wine Country Trails by Horseback - http://www.winecountrytrailsbyhorseback.com/ and balloon rides and more. These destinations range approx. 30 Min. to 1 hr. in trip time. There is so much more to see & do. Please see my REVIEW GUIDE to find more Local Attractions (mostly within the 15 - 30 Min. time frame.) Also see the other attractions that are about 1 hr - 2 hrs. away such as Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm.
WEATHER is fabulous, mostly in the 60-70's even in the winter. In the summer we have warmer temperatures 80's, 90's sometimes over 95 degrees and because we are 1,300 ft. above sea level we have a cool ocean breeze most of the time. Being less than 35 min. from Southern California beaches gives us the best of both climates because we are far enough from the ocean to escape most of the fog, clouds, and crowds yet close enough to enjoy the cool breezes in the heat of summer. We rarely go over 100 degrees and have air conditioning if we do get in the higher temps.
KITCHEN comes fully equipped with all stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops in addition to the smaller appliances ie: blender, 3 different coffee machines: a Cuisinart full pot coffee maker and bean grinder, a Keuirig 1 -cup coffee maker including K-cups, a Nespresso machine so bring your own favorite pods, hand mixer, etc. There is a LG oven/Cooktop and microwave, and a GE dishwasher together with a purified R.O. water system. The kitchen is stocked with some spices and basic condiments.

Linda was very welcoming and provided lots of great suggestions. The accommodations worked perfectly for our stay. What a wonderful area to stay for a nice getaway.
Linda was a phenomenal hostess with an amazing place to stay. The views are spectacular, there's plenty of space and the house is stocked with everything you'd need. The kitchen has plenty of cookware, there are lots of extra blankets and towels and the hot tub is amazing. There is so much to do in the area and Linda is so helpful with recommendations and ideas. Would certainly stay here again, it is a home away from home with a lovely host who has great communication and is extremely accommodating!

The place was nice, clean, and had everything we needed. The surrounding area is beautiful with a great view from the porch. Linda is an amazing and friendly host who took care of every detail, making sure everything was just right. An added bonus - tangelos from her trees! This place is an hour away from the San Diego airport and attractions, or there are closer, more local places to visit, as well. I highly recommend Linda's place for those who want a beautiful getaway.
Lovely space, plenty of room
For my daughters and I. Very quiet and private.
Linda was a great host, respectful, had great suggestions for us. Wonderful getaway!
My husband and I stayed here for our one year anniversary. The views were beautiful and the hot tub was a nice bonus. The bed was so comfortable and we slept good. Linda was a great host, kind, and very communicative. We plan to stay here again in the future.
It was the perfect place to come by myself to escape home and do an online event where I could have quiet and focus and then completely relax in the hot tub afterward. I appreciated all the blooming plants that surrounded the property and taking a walk in the area. Plus the hosts were super gracious and welcoming.
Our stay at the Barndominium was perfect. The listing is just as described - clean, quiet, well stocked, and private. Linda was very easy to work with - great communication and very accommodating. A minor issue was resolved quickly. Highly recommend and will stay again.
This was a perfect place to stay after my half Ironman in Indian Wells. Close to everything: San Diego, Escondido for shopping, restaurants and hiking trails (Loved the Hodges Lake Crest to Coast trail) and close to the Anza Borrego Desert state park.
Bed was super comfy, loved streaming Netflix with surround sound speakers and relaxing in the hot tub at night.
The hosts were responsive to my few questions upon initial arrival, very friendly, but otherwise I had lots of privacy too.
You won’t be disappointed with your stay here!
My sisters and I found it to be really nice. It was very clean and everything was great. The couches are very comfortable. It was easy to sign into our own Netflix to watch a movie. The area is beautiful and really quiet. We will definitely come again. Linda is really nice and very helpful. Christie
This property was in an absolutely idyllic setting. The air literally smelled like fruit and flowers. I had never been to this area of California and was blown away by its beauty. The place itself was clean and comfortable and perfect for my daughter and I for our weekend trip. The host, Linda, was above-and-beyond in terms of being helpful and warm and kind. I would 110% stay here again.
The property is really beautiful and so is the location, it can just be a little hard to find. Definitely recommend going to check in during the day. Linda and Larry were both great and welcoming. We were in communication from before the trip, to the time we left. It was nice so there was no confusion from either party.
We stayed for a week. I wanted to be somewhere serene, yet near everything we were hoping to do while down in the area. This definitely ticked all of the boxes and I'm so happy we chose to stay here. The property is absolutely gorgeous, the parking was easy, the drive was twisty and turny, but totally expected. We'll definitely stay here again if we head down south for another vacation. :)Bedroom was clean and spacious, the open windows provided a breeze that kept everything cool all day long. The couch pulled out into a full bed. They had all kinds of extras, just in case you forgot anything, including condiments, salt, pepper, spices.. all kinds of pots and pans, dishes, cups, etc. Three different types of coffee makers (keurig, nespresso and regular drip) plenty of towels, BBQ, desk area to setup computers.. it was beyond perfect for our needs. My only "complaint" would have been the dishwasher didn't work so well, but I have OCD, so I don't think that counts!! LOL!
Very happy with the accommodation. Linda was really helpful and keen to make sure everything was ok
The accommodation was a good fit for our family of 4. We had plenty of room for the kids to run around and could get all out laundry done
Loved the stay and the accomodation
My wife and I have stayed at VRBO's in Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, the New England States, Missouri and Arkansas this year before coming to the Barndominium in Valley Center California. I rated some of those stays a "5" and now I regret it because the Barndominium surpasses even the best of them by a wide margin. Our hosts were professional but they went way beyond to kindness, generosity and friendship. The views were spectacular right to a view of Mount Palomar and the observatory. The bed was awesome and our space was decorated with a gentle homey touch. From the first night we felt right at home and enjoyed every minute of our 11 days.
Hosts very welcoming and helpful. unit very clean. Surrounding countryside beautiful.One appliance repair handled quickly.first time visitors if travelling in the dark might have trouble with the hairpin turn roads. Best to travel during daylight.GORGEOUS scenery. Peaceful and quiet. Great deck.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful apartment with great outdoor space. Very peaceful and relaxing, but close to many wineries, restaurants and casinos. We were there for dinner and a show at Harrahs. Really enjoyed the hot tub! Thanks for a great staycation!
