This property is stunning! From the lovely views to the beautiful spacious home to the inviting pool and spa to the fruit trees- oh where to begin? First of all the owners are welcoming and gracious. They made us feel right at home.
The house itself is amazing. We had our entire family of 12 with us. We gathered for Thanksgiving, coming from Texas to Alaska. Our ages ranged from 9 months to 79 years. It is a little out of town but the sights of San Diego are easily accessible. And being out of town made this such a quiet relaxing place to spend the week. We couldn’t recommend this wonderful spot more!

Beautiful house and Property
Perfect! Mary is a great host and was very attentive to our requests. We had 4 Generations staying and we had plenty of room. The house is 20-30 minutes away from most San Diego attractions without the feel of being in the hustle and bustle with great views.

Jamul paradise
We had an extended stay at Mary's BEAUTIFUL home and loved every single minute! From the tortoises, chickens and butterflies to the wonderful pool, we couldn't get enough!! Miss Mary and Dana were fantastic hosts and became fast new friends. My three girls absolutely loved Miss Mary and tending to all of the animals with her. We have stayed at many VRBO's and this is, by far, the best yet!! Thank you Mary for everything!!!

Unique Property
This was a multigenerational stay. One person in a wheelchair. Accessibility is good for manual wheelchair. 30 inch door leading to bedroom with a tight turn if Murphy bed is down. En-suite bathroom totally accessible.
Everyone visited the butterfly sanctuary many times. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the property. Relaxing gardens, lots of games, toys, the tortoises loved the attention. The pool area is a great gathering place. Unusual to find such a unique property. Really suited us well.

Perfect family property
We are a family of 6 (kids 13, 11, 11 and 10) plus grandparents. This was our second visit to Mary’s property and we had another fabulous time. The kids made orange juice from oranges picked on the property, fed the tortoises, made omelettes from the chicken eggs and played in the pool from dawn till dusk. The home and property are perfectly organized to accommodate large families: from the poolside table for 8 to the many bedrooms, bathrooms and quiet spaces. And Mary is the ideal host - she has thought of absolutely everything to make your stay perfection and when we had a question, she answered immediately. We will be back again soon!

Memorable Vacation
Coming home and visiting family, enjoying what San Diego had to offer such as dining, activities, the beaches and beautiful sunny weather was something my family had been looking forward to for the past year and a half. We did all that but what surprised us the most in such as wonderful way was staying at "Mary's Retreat". My son aptly put it by saying, "There is no need to go anywhere. Staying at "Mary's Retreat" is like staying at a resort." Large beautiful 5 bedroom house, 31/2 bathrooms was plenty of space for our group of 8 and also able to accommodate our large San Diego family who came to visit. Gorgeous pool and abundant fruit trees. We picked oranges each morning and had fresh squeezed orange juice. We also picked and enjoyed mangoes, avocados and limes. From the chicken coop, we had fresh eggs each morning. Our host Mary, her husband Dana and her son Matt were absolutely wonderful. Already making plans for next year at Mary's Retreat.

This is the San Diego Getaway You've Been Looking For
This house has it all - gorgeous pool, sunset views, ample comfortable outdoor seating, beautifully decorated and spacious interior (the pictures don't do it justice), fruit trees, butterfly garden, farm fresh eggs, and tortoises. It is charming, comfortable, huge, and super convenient to San Diego (literally every place you'll want to go is ~30 minutes drive).
We were 2 families (8 people) and from adults to the teens everybody adored Mary's house. It has everything you need - just bring clothes and enjoy your wonderful vacation.
Without a doubt if we ever head back this way again we would absolutely stay here. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Look No Further, This Is The Place!
From start to finish our experience was unquestionably positive. Mary takes extra care with each of her guests and goes out of her way to make sure needs are taken care of. The house is amazing just by itself. But, the turtles, butterflies and chickens add to the experience. The bedrooms are comfortable and the pantry already had items in it that were open for us to use. Other guests had left condiments, beverages and pancake mixes so we didn’t have to buy as much on our own. The house had scooters and toys for the little ones and a very nice pool and spa to use. We used the gas grill quite a bit. Overall, it’s the perfect place for a large group or multi-family vacation.

Great Family Vacation Spo
This house was a great place for my family vacation with the grandkids. They enjoyed visiting the turtles, butterflies and chickens. Feeding the turtles and gathering chicken eggs everyday was their favorite activity. The pool was also very nice with plenty of seating. Mary was a very responsive hostess and the house has everything a family will need. Thanks Mary, Glen

The ideal location!
This property is spacious and well maintained. The location is ideal for sightseeing and visiting attractions in San Diego; no more than a 30 - 35 minute drive to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, the ocean beaches, and anyplace else in the San Diego area. Far enough away in Jamul to enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural community. All the amenities of home were on-site. We were only a text message away from a response by the owners and they always responded within five minutes of our initial text. The pool was immaculate and well furnished with pool toys, lounging furniture and tables to enjoy lunch or dinner. The chickens provided fresh eggs every day! The gazebo at the top of the hill provided for viewing beautiful sunsets every evening! Trails for hiking were literally out the back door and numerous lakes and recreation areas were close by. We stayed for eight wonderful relaxing days and plan to return again! You just need to bring your clothes and food - everything else is on site!

Jamul is a great area, country quite yet city close. Jamul is San Diego county's closest rural commute. Most folks don't know about Jamul and don't realize it's only 20 minutes from downtown San Diego.
See a complete aerial video of the property right here on our site.The video button is located next to the main house photograph on our VRBO website >
この宿泊施設の特徴
Folks will enjoy the many unique aspects of this family retreat, whether it's all the green trees, nearby wildlife, distant views of San Diego or the one of a kind butterfly enclosure. Convenience ,comfort and value we have it all.
Watch the video here and on our VRBO web site see the complete 11 acre country estate just 20 minutes from down town San Diego.
We are 1 mile from the new Jamul Casino
We're sorry, but due to parking constraints we can not accommodate weddings, receptions or events resulting in excess of 20 people. The pool IS NOT heated but the spa is .
