Our stay was perfect. Teresa and john our hosts were just spectacular. When we arrived, there were fresh flowers everywhere plus freshly baked cookies and biscuits. We had all the privacy we desired, and the property is beautiful. A wonderful place to rest and unwind.

Wow - where do I start? First, Teresa is an absolutely amazing host. Her communication right from the start was amazing. The directions to the home were very easy to understand and accurate. She met us for a brief introduction and showed us the gorgeous home! This home could be in a magazine. The gardens are out of this world! The home is very clean, comfortable and quiet! We wanted to stay out of the busy city and this was a perfect spot - just a short drive - but so worth it for the surroundings of the home and the serene beauty and peaceful location! The kitchen is huge - absolutely great if you want to cook. The living area is so comfy with a spacious couch overlooking the beautiful yard. The patio is set up for outdoor dining - Teresa left us yummy cookies and even stocked a few small items in the fridge for us. She is so accommodating and such a pleasant host! If you are wanting to stay near San Diego - but out of the hustle and bustle - this is your place! Simply magical and everything was perfect! We will love to stay here again one day in the future!

I had the best time at the cottage. It was relaxing and just what I needed. The cottage with all the gorgeous details is so welcoming and serene. Teresa baked delicious cookies and left fresh flowers in all rooms. The place was immaculate and the property is expansive, gorgeous, and private. I will definitely be back!Thank you for everything Teresa!
