We loved our stay! We brought our dog and she had a great time playing with their dogs and pigs. We loved the beautiful, quiet, rural, ranch setting. The cabin/casita was clean and very comfortable, and the owners were easy to reach when we had any questions. We definitely would recommend this property and intend to book again!

Awesome casita

Willam and Holly are gracious hosts. Their casita was very comfortable and clean it has everything you could need. Perfect for 2 people. For our visit the location was perfect. Close to major shopping areas and entertainment. Loved their animals especially Snoop Dog❤️if we are ever in that area again we will definitely be staying there again. Nancy and Pete

Beautiful Casitas

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the casitas! It was a very comfortable space with fine attention to details. Beautiful woodwork in the kitchen, which was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. For coffee lovers, they had a kurig, coffee pot & French press with an electric kettle. Property grounds were beautiful and the property was very secure. Can’t wait to go back!!!

As advertised and very cozy

Spent 10 days here with my dog and my wife. We had a very pleasant experience with both William and Holly our hosts. Kitchen bath and bedroom all well stocked. If you enjoy dark skies and quiet, this is the place for you. Grocery store and a few restaurants very close by. Plenty of other restaurants nearby deliver via GrubHub. We will be back to enjoy this location again.

Rural Peacefulness

Property is located on a small ranch just outside more populated areas. Very quiet, owners live next door but rarely seen. Slight problem with the dishwasher was fixed immediately.

Perfect Country Cottage

Peaceful and extremely quiet. I could spend months there. My dog had free run of a fully fenced acreage and friendly dogs to run with. The cottage had every high end appliance you might want, including a washer/dryer combo. I would have liked to stay longer, but was needed at home. The hosts are available for any questions.

The little guest house is spacious, with plenty of storage for clothing so you can unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. The kitchen has everything, including a Keurig. The bed and couch are very comfortable, and there is nearly instant hot water! Many windows give a lot of natural light, but foliage around the house provide privacy. There are horses, cats, dogs, a ram - very "country" - but 4 minutes down the road are Starbucks, a grocery store, etc. The hosts are wonderful - right there on site, and only a text away if you have any questions. It's a gem of a place. PS At night, you hear coyotes and owls - so special!

Wonderful property in country setting

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Casita. Spent 5 days 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay - Property is on a small ranch that houses a number of rescue animals (Dogs, Horses, Ram, Cats) - highly recommend reaching out the owners for a tour. Well worth the hour we spent - great way to meet the animals and see their dream coming to life. Beautiful unit - well decorated, full kitchen with sufficient supplies to eat in (we cooked most meals), comfy bed (Queen memory foam), great walk-in closet, window AC in living room for the summers (we had cold temps so we used the gas stove which worked very well). It get's very dark and quiet which made for some very comfortable evenings. Owners were there if we needed anything but otherwise left us alone. There may be some activity on the property as they are doing some remodeling but didn't impact us at all. Property is 10 minutes from San Elijo with restaurants and grocery stores. Elfen Park has some great hiking. Highly recommend this property and would definitely return

We needed a safe quiet place to stay with our two cats while our house was getting tented, and this spot was perfect! Clean and cozy, plenty of amenities, and we got to meet some of the resident animals (pigs and pugs and ponies, oh my!). Thank you, William and Holly!

Beautiful property. Our living space was clean and nicely upgraded. The property is a mini-ranch that we were free to roam. The hosts were friendly and informative. Legoland and other places are not far. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. We will likely stay again.

Elfin Forest Delight

It was such a comfortable cabin and the owners are really nice accommodating people. Close enough to town but fun to hang out at property. The grounds were fun to walk around on and perfect for our dog. The animals are adorable and friendly. We will be going back. It was right up our alley!

Beautiful Retreat in the Elfin Forest

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property. It is a two acre gated estate that we were allowed to explore during our stay. It is very private and quiet. It is beautiful and comfortable. The owners are on site and very welcoming. We could not have asked for more in a short term rental property and will visit there again if we get the chance.

Definetely nice to have your own little cottage with cooking and clothes washer. Beautiful remote location close to everything. Cottage is well kept and made well. Owners are friendly, and will engage with you if you have questions, but otherwise leave you alone to enjoy the place.

This property is ideally located if your goal is to enjoy SoCal while enjoying a truly quiet, comfortable, relaxing place to rest away from the hustle of city “busy”.

Responsive hosts, nice property

We had a lovely stay. It's a but of a haul, but we wanted privacy, so that was expected. Owner's home is right next door, we had hoped there would be more distance as our dogs bark, and we did not want to disturb anyone. Very responsive hosts. Nice property.
