Hello there, a little about us

My husband Allen and I will be your hosts while you visit us. We have been married for 40 years. We met in the hospitality industry and worked in that field for many years. Little did we know that would be great training for our new adventure as hosts for the cottages.
Love God, camping, trees, country music, animals, cooking shows, Chip and Joanna Gaines in Texas, vintage anything especially vintage trailers! We have a 1979 Avion (airstreams cousin)
And a cute little 1955 canned ham Roadliner that we take to the beach for camping.

Life motto is " everything will be all right in the end and if its not all right, its not the end"

We bought this Tudor home in Vista 26 years ago and love our little mini farm on four acres.
I have always wanted a bed and breakfast way back when I was a child.
My grandma grew up on a farm in Kansas and she passed on the love of it to me.
We are at the end of a cul de sac, on top of a hill with breath taking views. A country/rural setting but near everything.
I love design and I worked at Michaels as the floral designer for over 11 years. Semi retied now focusing on my rescue Yorkshire Terriers, Chickens, quilt making, sewing and crochet.
Our hearts are for animals, especially dogs and we rescue Yorkshire Terriers because we are crazy about this breed!
Ps we keep the yorkies in a separate yard with the chickens, do not enter their area as one is protective and fearful of strangers.
We have some beautiful show chickens and raise hens for eggs. We call it pets with benefits.

This is a guest house on our property which is a four acre estate. Lovely views, lots of windows ,small kitchen, one bedroom, queen bed, and one bath Cottage. It is small like a tiny home. Please note that new neighbors have a livestock guard dog that barks and you will hear it. We cannot control this unfortunately.
We are in the hills of vista. Still so close to everything like shopping, frwy, theaters, restaurants and all the attractions San Diego has to offer. Bring your hiking boots and or mountain bikes, there are beautiful trails right outside the property gates. Be aware there is plenty of wildlife here. In warmer months we do see rattlesnakes occasionally on the property.

The Cottage was WONDERFUL! Marie and Allen were super and created such a remarkable experience. We were there to visit family but see this Cottage great for a special weekend or as a quiet retreat. Can't wait until we can return!

Most gorgeous, detailed home!!! We loved every minute in this beautiful stay!!! They had everything you need there - such a perfect place to relax. The coffee and oatmeal was great!!! Definitely recommend this place, it’s perfect!!! We would love to stay here again. I loved knowing they lived nearby in case we needed anything. As if the inside wasn’t enough, outside provided the most serene & relaxing best of CA nature environment. her beautiful flowers, succulents, orange tree, & garden decor was such a delight. Hearing all the animals at night (owls, birds, etc) & in the morning was so fun. It felt like glamping if you didn’t close the windows or if you walked outside. I loved sitting on her recliner outside & watching a hummingbird fly over me & land in the most beautiful white barked tree. I didn’t want to leave!!!! Thanks for sharing your soul refueling place with us.

I have been coming to Bluebird Cottage for 5 years. The place is immaculate and decorated so wonderfully. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is super comfortable. The linens are the best! The area is so nice to explore and hiking just out the back door. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Allen and Marie are the best hosts- always there for anything you need.
