This was a wonderful place to stay—just the right size for what we needed. The location is peaceful and quiet, and the home had everything we could ask for while being out of town. The host was very responsive and communicative, always quick to answer any questions. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and will definitely make this our first choice if we’re in the area again.

Our stay at this charming Escondido cottage was absolutely wonderful! I visited with my daughter and two young granddaughters (ages 2 and 3) for a weekend wedding in San Marcos, and the location could not have been more convenient. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and beautifully maintained—complete with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The property has such a peaceful atmosphere, with gorgeous views and thoughtful touches throughout. My granddaughters especially loved the swings, the friendly chickens, and saying “hello” to Mr. Phil, our gracious host. The fresh eggs were such a bonus!We truly enjoyed our time here and would love to return for another visit. Highly recommend this lovely retreat for anyone visiting the area!
Enchanting little cottage!
