We had a wonderful time. The views and property are gorgeous. We loved spending time by/in the pool and the house had everything we needed. Most days we traveled into the San Diego area for beach and tourist activities and the 45 min- 1 hour drive worked out just fine for us.
The property was well manicured and the views are breathtaking beautiful sunrise and sunsets from multiple view points. The pool was clean and heated. The home is clean and provided everything we needed even a complimentary bottle of Chardonnay. Thank you Mel & Tina for sharing your home with us.
This rental was everything we needed but one of the best side was the view and the pool. good location to visit the area. the house was well equiped and clean. outside space was incredible and so relaxing. I enjoyed driving the 2 miles mountain road to get up there as the scenery is wonderful.
Clean and cozy guest house with an amazing pool! The setting is beautiful and relaxing. Checking in was easy & hosts were communicative throughout. Having a quiet house in a gorgeous location was a perfect landing spot for exploring the area!
The property is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed coffee on the patio with the beautiful views. The road to the property was a challenging route for our morning walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We absolutely loved this property! We are a family of 7 and we all enjoyed our stay here. It felt like a trip to the cabin with beautiful views. I enjoyed my coffee every morning on the back patio with the views and peace and quiet. Mel was friendly and we felt very welcomed. I loved how the outside of the property was decorated and the inside living room felt like home. We were able to relax, make food and spend time together with no problems. I wish we could have stayed longer.

The website pictures don't do the property justice! It is even better than it appears!
Our grandkids did not want to leave. Thanks to Mel and Tina for sharing their beautiful property.

No bath upstairs bedrooms. Steep stairs caution. Personal opinion are items need replaced, kitchen utensils, dishes, bath towels. Bringing up a few things would make a better experience.
Very quiet and secluded. Great view
From the moment we saw the view we knew we were in paradise. The house was well-maintained and had many sleeping options. My family Grandma, mom, dad, and 2 kids (ages 9 and 12) had a wonderful time. The pool was such a fun way to pass the time. The house had everything we could need and Tina and Mel were the best hosts. We were able to order instacart for our groceries meaning we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. The AC units in the rooms were great and kept us nice and cool when we weren't splashing around. This property is one we would love to visit again. Thank you Mel and Tina for a wonderful peaceful 4th of July. We loved it!
We stayed here for 2 1/2 weeks in July '23 with 2 adults and 5 kids aging 6-14. The house was very clean, we had everything we needed. The pool is rather large, we spend a lot of time there, it's also clean and very well maintained. The view over the canyon is stunning. We are hard working people and really enjoyed how quiet and beautiful it is up there. Having your morning coffee on the patio with still a bit of fog around the hill is something we'll never forget.
A special thanks goes out to the owner Mel, who was extremely friendly and showed us his oldtimers, told their stories and didn't get tired from all the questions the kids were asking.
Concerning those reviews that complain about the road that leads to the house I have to say that everybody with a drivers licencse should easily be able to drive up there. If you want a house on the top of a hill, you need to drive a sometimes narrow road. We had no problems whatsoever in our Suburban.
All in all it was the best place we rented so far in the US. The kids loved it, our absolute recommendation !
Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
Quiet, Comfortable, Nice View, Difficult Access
This house is located in the mountains on a narrow road that snakes its way along the mountainside with some switch backs. It takes about 10 minutes to drive this winding 2 mile road with white knuckles. If a car comes from the other direction, one driver has to pull to the side and hug the road and stop for the other to squeeze by (just to illustrate the road width). Its a little uncomfortable if you're not used to it, especially with one side of the road often on a cliff edge. Once you get to the property, the view is quite beautiful. You won't have that view of the pool. That pic of the pool is taken from the owners home. There is no view of the pool from the actual house you will be staying in. The pool is not far, you just can't see it so that's misleadng. The house itself is good. Spacious enough. Comfortable. Everything worked. It's just that if you are looking for convenient access, this is not the place. We were not expecting the remoteness of the location so it was a little inconvenient for us.
Overall, the house is good. Pretty much everything one NEEDS is there. It is a guest house, so the owners live on site. The owners were super nice and friendly. We only saw them once in the 8 days we were there.
we had an amazing Thanksgiving stay at Mel & Tinaâs place! the house was super clean, and they provided everything we needed. the upstairs light was out when we arrived, and the second I told them about it, it was fixed eight away. I always got responses within 5-10 minutes of messaging, and we felt extremely comfy. my boyfriend and I stayed in the upstairs bedroom and it was sooo comfortable. the views during the day and the stars at night were a nice added bonus also đ. the trek up the hill is worse at night, but wasnât too bad after the first night and we got used to it quickly. would absolutely book this house again! thank you, Mel & Tina for a wonderful stay!
Wonderful rental property up a very scenic mountain drive. Road is paved which is very helpful for wary drivers! Guest house had all the amenities needed for a peaceful vacation.
Couldn't ask for anything more from a perfect host. Every need that I had, was handled within minutes. Would love to come back again. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!
Everything was wonderful! The property is beautiful and the view was breathtaking. We arrived earlier than expected and the host graciously allowed us to check in. The house was clean and well stocked for what we needed. Definitely recommend!
This property was amazing. Beautiful view, a nice backyard eating/sitting area, BBQ grill, and of course the pool.
Mel and Tina were so nice. They checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Mel was even nice enough to show us around some of his car collection.
The house was well kept and well stocked with everything we needed, including pool towels, board games, yard games, a cooler, and even an air bed. The pool was clean and we had a lot of fun playing in the pool every afternoon/evening.
We had such a great time at this amazing house. We hope to be back soon!
It's definitely a interesting drive to get to the guest house. The first trip my wife was a bit scared. But in all honesty I thought it was a great adventure. Then after a few more trips into town she became used to the drive. The pool and endless views far make up for a little drive, in my opinion.The house itself is tidy and clean. But you can tell the place is well used . However fully functional. Our family found it to be an oasis every night and we quite enjoyed our stay. All things considered this house is incredible.
We spent a wonderful time there. Especially the outdoor area is fantastic. You have a breathtaking view into the meadows and hills, the pool is wonderful, the sunsets are incomparable. Close connection to motorway, Saying goodbye was hard for us. Very nice hosts. House offered plenty of space and everything you need to feel good. We would come back anytime.
From the second we pulled in we were blown away by this beautiful property. We felt as if we were at home. Very cozy and private. The views are breathtaking and the pool is a place you never want to leave!
