You need a rest. See you soon
Since 2022, Quixote Farm has become a beloved getaway for countless guests who have returned time and again to enjoy the farms uniquely restorative effects. Modeled after a European farmstay, guests love walking in the orange groves, visiting with the rescue animals, shopping in the farmshop, enjoying a beautiful breakfast, or taking in our very popular sunset and charcuterie experience. Note:European Farmstays are exactly that:
A family farm. Not a 5-star resort.
The space
The cottage has an expansive wrap around deck with outdoor seating, fire table, barbecue and dining for six under a stunning China Berry tree.
Our ranch is in a very remote agricultural community in the foothills of Palomar Mountain overlooking Pauma Valley’s sacred land. The cottage is located at the end of a short dirt road in a peaceful and private spot within our orchard. It is a detached 900 sq foot, 2 bedroom guest house created for short term stays, there are no closets or dressers however, there is under bed storage and behind the door pegs for a few hanging things in both rooms.
The Cottage rests in the middle of our property-between two of our family homes-with quite a lot of space between-you will have plenty of privacy. However, no parties are permitted at any time, and our family does walk around the orchard regularly with our friendly dogs. Since this is a working farm, you may see our workers out and about caring for the orchard, and you may occasionally hear farm, equipment, tractors, etc. We also have a converted barn here on the property, available to rent, just a short walk ftom the cottage

Agritourism was created as a means for the farming industry to offset high costs of running a farm, and to showcase a different way of life. This ranch is our livelihood and we are trying to care for our parents and our family here.
The ranch is remote . There is nothing to do here, and that’s the point. The cottage is ideal for people that want to get away from it all and relax. Some people have booked the cottage as a base for sightseeing in San Diego-we don’t recommend this. Two-lane Highways can mean traffic slow down no matter what time of day-creating a frustrating long commute.
Since this is an organic farm in the country, you may see the occasional ant or bug, or fly.
We are a welcoming ranch.
