This 2 bedroom apartment has two queen beds, a full kitchen and laundry. With mbeautiful views all around, it is very close to the San Diego Safari Park, wine tasting (walking distance to 4 wineries) and several wedding venues. You’ll love the privacy and spaciousness, the fresh fruit and farm animals, and the tranquility of the place, while being only 4.5 miles off the freeway. This space is excellent for couples, business travelers, small groups, solo adventurers, and families.
The space: The apartment is on the other side of the garages as the main house so you have plenty of privacy. There are two separate bedrooms, each with a very comfortable queen bed. A full-size bathroom is not attached to either bedroom so is easily accessed by both bedrooms without inconveniencing anyone. You have a full kitchen with a sit up bar as well as a separate dining area. The living area has two sofas, one of which pulls out into a double bed. The washer/dryer allow longer-term guests to do their laundry. Also, there is a very spacious outdoor patio for relaxing in the sunshine or star-gazing and enjoying the serenity at night. The high-end craftsmanship is noticeable and the house is newly built.
Guest access: You have the entire apartment to yourself. We live in the main house full-time so we are on hand for anything you might need during your stay but stay out of your way if that is your preference.
Other things to note: There is also a new and adorable tiny house on the property listed separately on VRBO. If you have a larger group, or family/friends who would like to stay nearby (about 100 steps away), this is a great option to expand your group size but still have your privacy and separate space!

We really enjoyed our stay! The amenities were great, the view and scenery were beautiful, and the property was very family-friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
this was a great place to stay at! Got to say hi to animals in the AM with a cup of coffee! Plan to be back here in a few months! Super close to some wineries!
Beautiful, peaceful, quiet and lovely place. We enjoyed our and able to get good sleep on their comfortable beds. It was so close to Rancho Guejito Vineyard/Wedding Venue, which was so convenient for us to close to my daughter’s wedding. Highly recommend this place.
We had a wonderful stay. It was a last minute reservation and it worked out perfectly. We attended a wedding at Rancho Guejito and it was only a 10 minute drive from the venue. Would love to come back again with my grandkids and visit the Wild Safari animal park.

Best place I have ever stayed. Quiet. A friendly dog came to visit. Goats to feed carrots to. Will come back soon.
I only texted the host one time, during my stay. I can tell by the text that they are very caring and friendly. They responded quickly. I really wasn’t there long enough to meet the host. I left in the morning and returned that night. The inside was very clean. Great place to stay. I recommend this place to stay. The view is awesome!!!
All amenities listed except the hottub. Comfortabe couch and full kitchen. Enjoyed feeding the goats and picking fresh citrus right off the trees.

Thanks Lesibet, so glad you enjoyed your stay. I just check and realized that the spa option was accidentally checked so I apologize for my oversight there. It is now unchecked so that won't happen again.
My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! This place was absolutely perfect! It was a beautiful little place. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were so kind and friendly. We got to enjoy the fresh fruit and vegtables from their trees and garden and even explore the animals. Our family had a blast! There was a lot more privacy then we expected and was only 10 minutes from the safari park, which was perfect for us. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you to your family for your amazing hospitality!
We were in town for a wedding. Following the instructions, we had no issues finding the rental. It was quiet and comfortable. We had a small issue with the WiFi but after checking the in-house manual the correct password was inside. Two small things that would have made it better. 1. Powdered coffee creamer. Sugar and sugar alternatives were provided but no creamer. 2. There were no hooks on the back of any of the doors or on the walls in the bathroom to hang towels to dry. Both items were minor and did not impact our stay dramatically. We would book again if we needed to be in the area for anything. Take note that there is nothing really located in close proximity to the rental. Make sure you hit up a grocery store or anything else before you get there. If you don't you will have about a 15-minute drive to get to a grocery store

Thanks Michael for the helpful feedback. Extra towel hooks have been ordered!!
This is a beautiful casita attached to the owners home with garages to separate the two homes. The place was impeccably clean and had plenty of items to make the stay easy and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you can think of and more. There was even seasonings in the cupboard to use if desired. If you have kids, there were toys available, kid safe dishes/utensils, and a pack-n-play. They thought of everything. We enjoyed our stay very much and wished we could’ve stayed longer. We were in town for my daughter’s tournament, so we were busy with that, but we drove past multiple vineyards that had wine tasting. We took time to go see the sunset. It was an easy 30 minute drive to a state park. Overall, it is a great place, highly recommend.
