Thank you for the lovely review! It was a pleasure hosting Roberto and his family. I hope you can return soon.
If you are looking for the rustic cabin experience with the convenience of some modern amenities this is the ideal spot. Morning coffee in the pines, quiet strolls through the woods with the pups, and plenty of space to entertain. And the stars!!!

Jennifer I am so happy to host you and your family. The stars are really something!
This place is amazing and the owner was very accommodating! The views were incredible, my only issue is that we didn’t have the opportunity to spend more time on this property! We had a 81 mile foot race and got to experience all of MT Palomar
