The little guest house is spacious, with plenty of storage for clothing so you can unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. The kitchen has everything, including a Keurig. The bed and couch are very comfortable, and there is nearly instant hot water! Many windows give a lot of natural light, but foliage around the house provide privacy. There are horses, cats, dogs, a ram - very "country" - but 4 minutes down the road are Starbucks, a grocery store, etc. The hosts are wonderful - right there on site, and only a text away if you have any questions. It's a gem of a place. PS At night, you hear coyotes and owls - so special!

Beautiful Casitas
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the casitas! It was a very comfortable space with fine attention to details. Beautiful woodwork in the kitchen, which was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. For coffee lovers, they had a kurig, coffee pot & French press with an electric kettle. Property grounds were beautiful and the property was very secure. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Awesome casita
Willam and Holly are gracious hosts. Their casita was very comfortable and clean it has everything you could need. Perfect for 2 people. For our visit the location was perfect. Close to major shopping areas and entertainment. Loved their animals especially Snoop Dog❤️if we are ever in that area again we will definitely be staying there again. Nancy and Pete

Very nice
Our stay was great. Our cottage had everything you could possibly want, including one adorable beagle (snoop). It was exactly as pictured The place was very quiet and just across the street was a walking trail that ran for miles into the hills. Bill and Holly were perfect hosts. A pretty little town was just 2 miles away with everything you need. Carlsbad was a 20 min. drive where you can catch the train to San Diego.

Responsive hosts, nice property
We had a lovely stay. It's a but of a haul, but we wanted privacy, so that was expected. Owner's home is right next door, we had hoped there would be more distance as our dogs bark, and we did not want to disturb anyone. Very responsive hosts. Nice property.

Wonderful property in country setting
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Casita. Spent 5 days 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay - Property is on a small ranch that houses a number of rescue animals (Dogs, Horses, Ram, Cats) - highly recommend reaching out the owners for a tour. Well worth the hour we spent - great way to meet the animals and see their dream coming to life. Beautiful unit - well decorated, full kitchen with sufficient supplies to eat in (we cooked most meals), comfy bed (Queen memory foam), great walk-in closet, window AC in living room for the summers (we had cold temps so we used the gas stove which worked very well). It get's very dark and quiet which made for some very comfortable evenings. Owners were there if we needed anything but otherwise left us alone. There may be some activity on the property as they are doing some remodeling but didn't impact us at all. Property is 10 minutes from San Elijo with restaurants and grocery stores. Elfen Park has some great hiking. Highly recommend this property and would definitely return

Perfect Country Cottage
Peaceful and extremely quiet. I could spend months there. My dog had free run of a fully fenced acreage and friendly dogs to run with. The cottage had every high end appliance you might want, including a washer/dryer combo. I would have liked to stay longer, but was needed at home. The hosts are available for any questions.

As advertised and very cozy
Spent 10 days here with my dog and my wife. We had a very pleasant experience with both William and Holly our hosts. Kitchen bath and bedroom all well stocked. If you enjoy dark skies and quiet, this is the place for you. Grocery store and a few restaurants very close by. Plenty of other restaurants nearby deliver via GrubHub. We will be back to enjoy this location again.

Definetely nice to have your own little cottage with cooking and clothes washer. Beautiful remote location close to everything. Cottage is well kept and made well. Owners are friendly, and will engage with you if you have questions, but otherwise leave you alone to enjoy the place.

Quiet Sanctuary
This place is gorgeous! Plenty of light, able to open windows for fresh air. About 15 minutes from Carlsbad and Vista. Elfin Forest has a beautiful community to walk around. Explored the animals on the property. Loved hearing the water fountain and frogs at night. Fast communication. Will definitely come back again when I visit San Diego- about 45 min, so worth it!

Beautiful Retreat in the Elfin Forest
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property. It is a two acre gated estate that we were allowed to explore during our stay. It is very private and quiet. It is beautiful and comfortable. The owners are on site and very welcoming. We could not have asked for more in a short term rental property and will visit there again if we get the chance.

I read this to stay near San Diego for a funeral. this property really fit the bill ass. It allowed me some peace and quiet away from the bustle of the city. The guest house that you rent is very nicely furnished and has plenty of amenities. you can get some local food about 3 miles away. The owners respect my privacy, but were there if I needed them.

Forest Hideaway
We enjoyed our stay with William at their place in Elfin Forest. William was accommodating with our later check in time which was appreciated. The guesthouse was very spacious and well stocked. It was easy to find, though it does takes a few winding roads to get there. Glad we could bring our dogs and had a safe place to park. We did find that the wifi didn’t work the greatest (though no issue getting full cell service) and the tv had recordings scheduled that would interrupt what we had on. The bed creaked a lot, but was very soft. Nice bathroom and again, truly enjoyed all the space inside.

We are locals and found this to be perfect
We are between homes and live in the North County of San Diego. We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I had some doubts when we booked because 1) It seemed like it might be a little out of the way and 2) I am always a little leery when the owner also lives on the property. I was wrong on both accounts. My job takes me to many areas of North County as well as San Diego city itself. Despite being in a rural, ranch-like setting, access to all the major routes is minutes away and easy to get to. While the accommodations were only 15 feet away from the owner's home, we never felt his presence or sensed anything other than feeling like we were in our own private place in the country. As for the accommodations themselves, this was one of the largest, best equipped owner rented spots my wife and I have expediency. You won't be bumping into each other or moving out of the way to let your significant other get to the bathroom, or kitchen, or closet, or whatever. Oh yeah the closet. Did I mention it's a walk in? My wife was in heaven. Huge comfy sofa in the living room, full kitchen well equipped with no less than three types of coffee - makers, pantry, washer-dryer, full bath with jacuzzi tub, large TV in living room and large TV in a large bedroom and the peace and quiet of country living while only a couple miles away from getting to everything else North County offers (Legoland, Carlsbad, beautiful beaches). Definitely two BIG thumbs up for me.
