This was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time. The hosts were great!!! The weather was excellent!! The views of the valley and mountains added a Serene and quiet atmosphere. Also the fact that it is a gated community added peace of mind. I will be returning.

Lovely Retreat with Beautiful Views

The perfect place if you are looking for a getaway that provides beautiful mountain and valley views, a wide patio to enjoy those views, and friendly, responsive hosts.The private entrance suite was comfortable and well appointed with a bright and airy bathroom and shower. I didn’t take advantage of the pool table or outdoor kitchen, but I enjoyed stargazing from the patio.There are great suggestions for dining and activities a short drive away. And, I enjoyed hiking at Daley Ranch also a short (15 minute) drive. Thanks to my hosts for the wonderful, restorative stay. The on-site hosts were charming and

short weekend away

We were looking for a short trip away from home to unwind and this definitely fit the bill. We loved watching the hummingbirds on the feeder with the mountains in the background ! The room was clean ,and the bed was comfy. We enjoyed several restaurants including a "Pop up" only open on Sunday morning where we had incredible Mexican food. Valley View casino was a convenient short drive away as was Bates nut farm. The host was very responsive and available.

Lovely property and hosts

We arrived on a rainy and cold Friday, probably the areas only rainy day in a long time. Communications ahead of time from the host was fantastic. Debra met us when we arrived and welcomed us. Our suite was cozy and roomy and comfortable. The hosts have an informative binder listing everything we needed to know, and recommendations for places to go nearby. We really enjoyed our conversations with them too! The neighborhood/area is scenic, quiet and peaceful and lovely to walk from the house. Debra asked each day if we needed anything and they were very accommodating. We hope to come back another time. Thank you!

Peace and comfort in Valley Center

We had a delightful stay at this VRBO location in Valley Center. Our hosts, Debra and Mike, thought of everything. And if there happened to be anything else one might need, they were most willing to help. Communication with them was quick and easy. The directions they gave to find the place were perfect. The bed was very comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets if needed. The outdoor patio was enormous with a stunning view. Probably one of my favorite things about the room was the fact that the bathroom had two separate vanities with a huge amount of storage (adequate storage is something sadly missing in most hotel rooms these days). Debra clearly and patiently explained and demonstrated all of the features in the room and on the patio. There was a helpful guide for local restaurants and wineries. Our stay was very short so we undoubtedly missed many features of this property that would have been worth investigating. This was altogether a beautiful and peaceful place to get away for a while. Our hosts put the icing on the cake for our weekend by letting us share some time with their newly acquired cat family (pure heaven for me, a crazy cat lady). Thank you Debra and Mike.

Home away from home with amazing views - even better hosts!

We booked this Vrbo at the last minute. I had a previous accommodation lined out, but that fell through. Luck was on our side when we found this gem. Debra & Mike are amazing hosts. The space is impeccably clean and every detail is well thought out. Debra stayed in constant communication with us both before we arrived and throughout our stay. The views are gorgeous. Our stay was very comfortable and we even had private area to relax and enjoy the amazing terrace. 11/10 recommend visiting their home. We will absolutely be back!
