Quaint perfect little house on the hillside

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was already there, we were so excited to have fresh chicken eggs as a gift from the host and the beautiful happy chickens that we got to meet. I loved the garden and the swings were a hit for my grandchildren. They didn’t want to leave. We all really enjoyed our stay and the bed was so compfy, we were so grateful we didn’t have to run the ac because the windows when left open gave a fantastic cross breeze through the house. All in all we loved our stay. We would choose this home again.

Therese was a delightful hostess. While you share the home with her, she stays out of the home or in her bedroom when guests are present. Easy access to CWU, especially at graduation/move out or move in times. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable bed. Lovely to have coffee and breakfast bread waiting in the morning.

Short commute

Thank you Phil for opening up your home to use while our house in Murrieta was under repair. What a nice area of Escondido with excellent views of the valley below. Great soaking tub and all the conveniences were appreciated. Such a nice touch to offer fresh eggs, s’mores making supplies and snacks. Great, relaxing stay just moments from my work.

Beautiful rental for our family of 4. Short drive to San Diego Safari Park. The view from the patio and the fig tree with swings was so relaxing! Easy check in and out process, reserved parking spot. In very quiet residential area. Thanks again for the Easter goodies!

Charming and Quiet

This was the perfect place for me and my dog to stay while my house was being renovated. The bed is very comfortable, the bathtub is amazing, the kitchen is well-appointed. I heard nothing but the birds and an occasional car passing by as I sat under the massive oak tree and drank my morning coffee and worked. Great communication with the owner.
