About this property

Country Cottage with hilltop views - Families and Pets welcome!

The cottage is located at the top of a hill on a 2 acre property. Enjoy beautiful views, quiet rural location, artful decor and driving distance to hikes, wine-tasting, beaches and casinos.
Pets and children are welcome!

The 2-bedroom cottage is very comfortable with art from all over the world. It has a cozy queen bedroom, a second bedroom/office with a double bed and large desk, comfortable living room, fireplace, kitchen and dining area.
If you need a third bed I can set up a single mattress (with bedding of course) on the floor of the second bedroom. Just let me know!
There is also an outdoor picnic table and various seating areas around the garden. Hibachis are available for BBQ.

The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware, and has a gas stove/oven, microwave, fridge and toaster oven. Coffee, tea, spices, condiments and other cooking basics are available for your use.

Guests are welcome to use the nearby laundry facilities of the main house. The laundry has a washer, dryer, iron & ironing board, outdoor laundry line and laundry baskets for guest use.

The cottage has its own driveway and entrance separate from the main house, and plenty of parking.

I enjoy offering a pet-friendly environment. The yard is fully fenced and am happy for dogs to explore unleashed, and that guests can relax knowing their pets are safe and happy!
Let me know about your extended animal family in your inquiry, and I look forward to meeting them in person when you check in...
I charge a $75 pet fee up to 2 pets, and $25/pet for 3 or more.

If you are spending time at the beach, I can lend you a couple of beach chairs, beach sheets, towels and sand toys.

Check-in and check-out times are flexible depending on other bookings. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll make sure your stay is comfortable.

Great getaway

We loved this place. Very quiet and comfortable. Lucy is a great host, always nearby to help us out, but also gives us our space. My 8 year old loved feeding the chickens every day. It was nice to have home cooked meals and not have to order out all the time. We would definitely go back again.

A Corner of Heaven

The views, the gardens, the peace, the quiet. I could write a book here. It’s a place, even though I’m now living five miles away, that I will visit again when I want to get away. It’s that amazing! Lucy is a warm and welcoming host, and talk about dog friendly…wow! Highly recommend.

Excellent Host at Hilltop Retreat

Lucy is an amazing host, responds almost immediately to all questions. Her garden is lovely and the cottage is charming (pictures don’t do it justice!). Lucy went above and beyond to make the house ready for our pet. Her Chickens were an added treat, our son loved throwing them food scraps, but they were never noisy. Highly recommend, would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The best owner you can get!

A great lil 2 bed cottage on property. Lucy owns the main house and was fantastic. Even checking in when on a european trip to make sure we were all good. Had a caretaker (Dr. Steven) here while she was on vaca so all needs were met. Highly reccomend this secluded, quiet lil place. Decided to buy a home about 5 minutes away while here! Thanks Lucy!

Hilltop Cottage

Great location with 360 degree views, but many barking dogs especially late nights and early mornings, and some roosters in the area. Garden could be great, but is under watered and full of weeds. House was clean, except for the couches were very stained/dirty. We put down towels and sheets so we could sit on them. Nice Owner.

Thank you for your feedback, Gary. The garden is now weeded, and I had the couch cushions cleaned.

A perfect place to feel at home away from home

Lucy, the owner, made our stay very pleasant. She's genuinely interested in assuring that your stay is wonderful. The grounds have beautiful succulents and a chicken coop with chickens to visit and feed if you like. Our grandchildren and dog enjoyed them, too. The cottage is more spacious than we thought, clean, updated, yet has a very warm and cozy feel. Lucy made sure we had everything we needed to feel at home, she even had delicious tangerines from her tree waiting for us when we arrived. We will most definitely book another stay. Thank you for our memorable time in your cottage...so peaceful and quiet, yet near town, parks, stores, etc. A peaceful paradise.

Doggy Disneyland

Where do I start? This is the most wonderful property I have every stayed at. I was looking for a socially distant property to stay at while we were in Southern California that would also be welcoming to our dog. This is the perfect place. Two acres of completely fenced, absolutely beautiful succulent gardens, with everything you could possibly want in a home away from home. Not only was Lucy so very welcoming to my family, but the toys and doggies dishes available for Bro were a nice touch. If you bring your kitty, I saw a litter box in the cabinet for them too. You can't do better. 5 stars!!!

Greta Location - Great Host!

My wife, daughter and I enjoyed our stay in Fallbrook. The cottage is a guest house and the landlord, Lucy, could not have been nicer. The location is off the beaten path but only 15 minutes from Oceanside and 20 minutes from the beach. Two ample sized bedrooms and enough space for both of us to work remotely. I would stay here again.

Peaceful cottage

This place was absolutely wonderful. Very cute, quaint and comfortable. Lucy was very nice in letting us know if we needed anything she would take care of it but also gave us our space and privacy to enjoy the weekend. The only issue that we ran into that wasn’t listed in the posting is that if you have pets and bring your pets they must go with you when you leave the property they are not allowed to stay. We were not prepared for this so it made juggling the events of the weekend a little harder. The property is beautiful with lots of lush green landscape and she has the cutest chickens. We would definitely stay again for a nice quiet weekend away.

Oh Shanna, I am so sorry you thought you could not leave your pets at the cottage when you are away for a little while. I don't mind at all. Guests do that all the time. I even welcome guests having their dogs out in the yard, if they are comfortable with that, and if the dogs and I know each other. But thank you for the nice review. I hope you can stay again!

Delightful Cottage

Lucy is so friendly, the cottage is a nice place to get away from city noise, and their were fresh chicken eggs in the fridge when we arrived. The garden is a wonderful place to start your morning with a coffee cup in hand. The cottage was well-stocled with amenities. Can't wait to visit again!!

Delightful and Private

Just as described. Everything is close by if needed yet you are on top of a high hill with a great view. Lucy is a gracious hostess. We knew that she was there if we needed her for anything but it felt totally like our own place and completely private. It is a cute picturesque cottage with many artistic and aesthetic touches. It somehow felt special... almost magical. A lot of thought care and love has gone into it. A home away from home. Definitely recommend if you want to get away from it all (but not too far! :-)).

Fantastic, big place for a little price!!

We loved this place and will be back. We chose it because we did not want to pay $239 for a night at the Pala Casino. It is a keeper! This is a very large cottage with a living room, office, kitchen and dining area and a comfortable bedroom and bathroom with tub and shower. The place is decorated with many items from around the world and the colors, designs, and combinations are very homey and comfortable. Lucy, the owner, stocks the refrigerator with eggs, bread, butter, honey, jam and has coffee, tea, and fruit waiting for you. A fantastic place with great value. Very private and you park right next to the short walkway to the cottage. THANK YOU!!

I grew up in England and Toronto, and later studied and lived in Montreal for many years. Finally landed in San Diego where I am living "happily ever after" in beautiful rural Fallbrook.

I am an animation software developer and have worked many years developing video-games and animation software. Now I am a virtual reality programmer-artist.
Let me know if you'd like to try out a unique virtual reality experience during your stay! I create gentle experiences that I show at local art shows. I love to share my work :-)

I have traveled far and wide (Europe, Asia, Central and North America...). I love meeting people of all race and language. And I love exploring different kinds of food!

What makes this property unique

I enjoy offering a family and pet-friendly environment.
The yard is fully fenced and I am happy for dogs to explore unleashed, and that owners can relax knowing their pets are safe and happy :-)
