Location: Descanso, San Diego County, California, USA (In the mountains 45 minutes east of downtown San Diego.)
Accommodations: cabin, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
The "Haylapa House" is an incredible little gem of rustic architecture and is so-called because it's walls are made out of hay bales. It 20" thick walls envelope you in calm and coziness and you will never want to leave. It was built by artist couple, Laurie Roberts and Lane McClelland who created most of it's furnishings and artwork as well. It is one large room, and is incredibly romantic with both indoor and outdoor fireplaces.
The property is located near the state park where hiking and riding trails are in abundance. In addition, we are midway between the beautiful Anza Borrego Desert and the wonderful San Diego beaches so we truly offer something for everyone who loves nature and does not want to stay in the city. There are two animal sanctuaries nearby that rescue wolves, lions and tigers, as well as stables that rent horses.
A privately fenced patio with pizza oven is the "front yard" and an additional fenced two and a half acre compound of 100 year old oaks, trails and boulders are the "back yard". All very secure for you and your pet.
