wish I could have stayed longer

This listing was awesome and the host was so accommodating with arrival and later getting the firepit going for us! The views of the lake were even more breath taking in person and the pool is gorgeous, the cabin was adorable and truly loved everything about this property!

The outdoor space and the view are incredible

Amazing views of Lake Hodges. The deck patio first step is broken and my wife rolled her ankle on it right before we left. Other than that and inconsistency in the hot water for the shower, it was an awesome space with two sweet goats and chickens!

Such a cute, tiny little place!

We loved our one night stay at this tiny house! It was exactly what we needed for two of us. The property is gorgeous and the sunrise view took our breath away!! The bathroom is in a separate building behind the house. We still can't get over that view. One thing that was a bummer is the hot tub and pool heater were out so we didn't get to use them but everything else was amazing. We would love to go back. :)

Quiet location and beautiful property. The owner was kind and met us as we arrived. The quaint, hilltop cabin had a breathtaking view of Lake Hodges and the surrounding Mountains. However the futon mattress was too hard and lumpy for both our backs. My husband and I couldn’t sleep well all night. Other than that, everything was fine.

A little cabin in the Garden of Eden.

Such a lovely little spot. My wife and I chose to stay at the Hilltop Cabin after a few nights in Escondido. We wanted to get out of the city and closer to nature. The cabin and the area around it did not disappoint. The cabin was very comfortable and the host's garden was spectacular. We love birding and there were so many birds to watch from the balcony of the cabin! It was the perfect place sit and watch the evening take over the valley. Frog calls and two separate packs of coyotes howling. The bed was very comfortable and the morning balcony show was as engaging as the previous evenings'. It really was the perfect little spot to get away from the more urban parts of Southern California. The goats were super cute.

Beautiful Views and Comfy Cabin

Everything about this property was as advertised and the views were spectacular. The cabin was comfortable and the bed was cozy. You should know that staying at this property is more like glamping than staying the house next door or the mansion down the street. You have a somewhat narrow path to navigate to get there and, of course, there's the outhouse and composting toilet. The outhouse is close and cute, also with views. We kind of underestimated the pleasures of modern plumbing but, in reality, the composting toilet worked well and was easy to operate. The hills surrounding the property look to be full of great hiking trails. In short, as long as you're okay with the whole outhouse/composting toilet, the property is great! I highly recommend.

This was a great way to start our trip to CA! The hillside garden was wonderful, and a highlight of our stay was sitting out on the deck birdwatching in the morning. Nick was great, and very welcoming.

Views to die for!

A cute cabin up on the hill. A trail up to the garden , through a jungle, duck under beautiful huge cactus, Not your ordinary Vrbo; the outdoor shower was exilerating, composting toilet was a new experience. The mist on the lake in the morning was spectacular. The pool would be great on a hot summer day. I might build a couple cabins at my ranch in the mountains.

The ultimate glamping experience

Hesitant to leave this review because this place is such a hidden gem and I don't want it to become too popular and booked out so that I may come back. The view is as beautiful in person as it looks in the photos and Nico's garden was stunning. Although, the path leading up to the cabin, and the path leading from the cabin to the bathroom and shower, were a little narrow and overgrown and could maybe stand to be hedged back a little bit. The comforter and bed were one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. All of the windows in the cabin allow for spectacular views even when you're not out on the deck. It's a short walk from Lake Hodges and other trails. We also had some fun feeding the goats and chickens on the property ice plant. Hoping to come back again someday!

Perfect for two

This was the perfect spot for a one night getaway for two! Would recommend bringing slip on shoes for going to and from bathroom in the middle of the night- a little further than I had imagined but really not far at all. Goats were very cute and communication w/host was easy. There is a second Airbnb property that people were staying at so it felt a tad less private than I had hoped but still very secluded overall. Great if you’re on your way down the coast and want to stop somewhere quiet and beautiful for the night.

Wonderful getaway!

Loved our trip here! We had a great mini-pandemic-honeymoon and highly recommend this cabin to anyone. It was very private and the views are incredible. The pool and outdoor shower were beautiful and the cabin was homey and comfortable! Don't be fooled by the lack of reviews on this site, they rent on AirBnB as well so there are more reviews there. We really hope to be back!
