Twinkling stars are so close you can almost touch them here…

Sprawling Mediterranean compound retreat, nestled on 2.5 majestic acres surrounded by hundreds of lush California Palms, Eucalyptus, cacti and Pepper trees, under the stars, promises to deliver a rejuvenating stay unlike any other. Over 5,200 sq ft estate comes complete with hardwood floors , 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, gourmet cook’s kitchen, flat screen tvs. Floor to ceiling windows allow you to take in the 180 degree breathtaking views of the green San Diego Countys mountains and citys skyline.

Enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the patio overlooking the vistas after a hike on one of the many wonderful trails on the grounds, get a horseback riding lesson on one of the beautiful horses that live on The Ranch, followed by a tennis match and or a relaxing swim in our private pool or just soak up the sun and watch your kids or Grandkids in the playground. An extraordinary week awaits you here.

Wonderful extended family home.

Our group of 11 ranged in age from 2 to 74. We had plenty of room for various families. My only caution is that there are quite a few steps down to the pool, tennis court and play area, so do consid… More

Response from the owner
Normally, I do Not respond to guest reviews but let them speak for themselves. i felt that I must as this guest is NOT Accurate and just trying to ruin our business. When the guests checked in i walked them through the entire house and showed them every room. The guests didn't call or text me to mention they had an issue even though i gave them my cell # and told them i respond Very Quickly. We have a professional cleaning staff that cleans the entire house before new guests checkin. Also a quality control person that Rechecks to make sure Everything is looking GREAT! The gate no working complaint, you punch in the Correct Code and the gate opens Period. The complaint about the stained sheet is Inaccurate. I personally checked All sheets after guests left and there was NOT a single stained sheet in the entire house. The complaint regarding the horse manure and fly issue is also Inaccurate and totally Unreasonable. We Do have 2 small ponies Lucky & Toy (as you can see in the video) that do live at the top of the property. There was a small pile of manure that is mixed with hay & dirt at the base of a Newly planted fruit tree and landscaped bank where we had just planted some new fruit trees and was in the process of being spread. No Swarming Flies there i checked.The guests also stated that there were flies all over the house and they killed Alot of them. I went through the whole house and didn't see one fly Live or Dead. do we have a few flies on the property or in the house sometimes? Sure we do its a large property and Occasionally we see a few flies. As far as the comment nowhere near the sea. We ARE located 9 miles by road to the Pacific Ocean. We have a GREAT view of San Diego County as we are at roughly 1000 ft elevation so the fog that hangs down by the ocean is mostly below the estate. The guests did call me after being at the estate for 2 days and told me they had left and Threatened to post bad reviews all over the internet unless i give them a full refund. The gentleman also told me that his wife was an attorney and they were going to sue me. I did ask them to put this in writing and they refused. Bottom Line, We have owned the estate for about 20 years and take GREAT Pride in maintaing the estate to a VERY HIGH Standard. We also want ALL of our guest families to have the Best possible vacation experience. We Do go out of our way to Under Promise and Over Deliver to Make Sure All guests leave Happy & wanting to return. I Feel that this guest was thinking that they could get a Full Refund by Threatening and Intimidating Me even though they stayed for 2 days. BTW I Contacted the guests that stayed Before and After this guest and discussed their experience and told them about this guests review. Both Guest Families that stayed Before and After this guest said they Were Shocked and also said that They WIIL BE Posting Accurate Reviews in the next few days.
