San Diego Country Barndominium, Mountain Views, Spa, Deck, & More.

GET AWAY from the hustle & bustle of everyday life and spend quality time together in our Country Barndominium located in Valley Center, California in San Diego County. We are nestled among the lush citrus. avocado groves, vineyards and horse ranches. You will often hear the sounds of Hawks and Eagles soaring through the blue skies from the PRIVATE DECK of this beautiful & spacious PRIVATE 1 BR - 1BA, full kitchen with a fabulous 180 degree mountain & sunset views. We are out here on almost 3 Acres so our neighbor properties are all spaced well. This Spacious & private Barndominium is .located out in the country down a country road. where there is no light pollution and we look at Mt. Palomar where the world famous Palomar Observatory is located. Downstairs, there is a private patio area with a BBQ, Spa, Seating with a grassy area to play games with a table to enjoy BBQing and eating food outdoors. . We offer a full kitchen with everything you would need including 3 coffee makers. During the spring we offer to fruit lovers, Tangelos, Tangerines right off our trees. We respect guests privacy but we are on the property (NOT in the rental area) if you need us, we are a text away.

ACTIVITIES / ATTRACTIONS / THINGS TO DO - CLOSE TO SOOOO MUCH! yet out and away.!! Only 10 Min. to easy freeway accessibility leading you to San Diego Zoo and Safari, Sea World, Legoland, museums, Down town San Diego Area, The Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, beaches galore, golf courses galore, Palomar Observatory, The Wine Tasting Safari, Wine Country Trails by Horseback - http://www.winecountrytrailsbyhorseback.com/ and balloon rides and more. These destinations range approx. 30 Min. to 1 hr. in trip time. There is so much more to see & do. Please see my REVIEW GUIDE to find more Local Attractions (mostly within the 15 - 30 Min. time frame.) Also see the other attractions that are about 1 hr - 2 hrs. away such as Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm.

WEATHER is fabulous, mostly in the 70's even in the winter. In the summer we have warmer temperatures 80's, 90's sometimes over 95 degrees and because we are 1,300 ft. above sea level we have a cool ocean breeze most of the time. Being less than 35 min. from Southern California beaches gives us the best of both climates because we are far enough from the ocean to escape most of the fog, clouds, and crowds yet close enough to enjoy the cool breezes in the heat of summer. We rarely go over 100 degrees and have air conditioning if we do get in the higher temps.

PRIVATE DECK with a great 180 degree mountain / sunset and grove views. Sit out and relax on cushy deck furniture watch the hawks and take in the peace and tranquility surrounding you.

Great place.
My sisters and I found it to be really nice. It was very clean and everything was great. The couches are very comfortable. It was easy to sign into our own Netflix to watch a movie. The area is beautiful and really quiet. We will definitely come again. Linda is really nice and very helpful. Christie

inward retreat
It was the perfect place to come by myself to escape home and do an online event where I could have quiet and focus and then completely relax in the hot tub afterward. I appreciated all the blooming plants that surrounded the property and taking a walk in the area. Plus the hosts were super gracious and welcoming.

This property was in an absolutely idyllic setting. The air literally smelled like fruit and flowers. I had never been to this area of California and was blown away by its beauty. The place itself was clean and comfortable and perfect for my daughter and I for our weekend trip. The host, Linda, was above-and-beyond in terms of being helpful and warm and kind. I would 110% stay here again.

The property is really beautiful and so is the location, it can just be a little hard to find. Definitely recommend going to check in during the day. Linda and Larry were both great and welcoming. We were in communication from before the trip, to the time we left. It was nice so there was no confusion from either party.

A Little Slice of Heaven!
Surrounded by orange groves and avocado trees this sets the stage for the arrival of this beautiful vacation home. The entrance is absolutely heavenly! Jasmine trees and beautiful flowers line the path making the coming and going extra special. Very comfortable inside and the bed was perfect! A nice breeze coming through the windows made it easy to sleep! We enjoyed coming back to relax after spending time visiting with friends and family. It’s a perfect location if you’re spending time in the Temecula/Riverside area most of the time all the traffic was going there opposite direction. Close to San Diego airport and also a short drive to the beach. Linda and her husband were excellent hosts and provided us with places to go and eat or shop in the local area. We will definitely be back. Thank you

A cozy place with tranquilizing view
We rented the place to attend a wedding in Fallbrook over the weekend. The place is cozy and yet works well for the three of us. Plenty of cooking essentials and more throughout the unit. Bed is comfortable It's clean and airy. The view is unbeatable. However the weather is gloomy and so we didn't explore the land as much as we wished for. The Jacuzzi is icing on the cake. Very relaxing. Linda is a nice and friendly host. She and Larry provide full privacy to us even they are right door. The drive to the place is winding and narrow, no lights at night, but we managed. Overall, a fantastic and enjoyable stay.

Lovely Spot for Exploring SoCal
Linda and Larry are warm and welcoming hosts who responded quickly to any of our questions or needs. They obviously enjoy digging in the dirt, surrounding the home are gorgeous plants, shrubs, pots, and trees. Linda even left us a bag of tangelos picked right off their trees - so good (and BIG)!! The apartment is private, nice & roomy, and well-equipped. In particular the pots, pans, and appliances are all first-rate. The immediate area is quite beautiful, very hilly with some remaining small agricultural plots. It seems the locals are trying hard to fend off new development, and continue to raise several dogs, some chickens, and maybe a goat or two! We hope they are able to retain this more rustic flavor. San Diego county is crowded, but has also protected many diverse natural reserves and state parks. This location in Valley Center allowed us to hike desert (Anza-Borrega SP), wooded mountains (Palomar Mountain SP), seaside cliffs (Torrey Pines NR), beach (Dana Point Headlands), and local hills (Daley Ranch & Elfin Forest reserves) - all within a couple hours drive. After a long (wonderful) day outdoors - it was so nice to come back for a great shower and a glass of wine on the cozy deck for a lovely sunset against the hills! Thank you, Linda & Larry for sharing your property!

The listing was exactly as described/pictured. The location was where we wanted to be in the rural Escondido/Valley Center area. We visited family locally, and enjoyed this refuge after big family functions! We enjoyed the hot tub - a perfect way to relax after other activities. The deck plants were lovely - I wish I had longer to sit and enjoy the space. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Wonderful Host and Gorgeous property
My daughter and I rented this property while we were in town for a women's conference at a local church. Although the drive between the two was on a long and windy road, it was well worth the drive! This property is beautiful, a complete respite away from the busyness of town. The home itself is exactly as described. Clean, well prepped, inviting and we each slept incredibly well. The hot tub was a wonderful feature and allowed for a relaxing evening after a long day. The sweet smell of jasmine permeated the air upon our arrival and welcomed us in right from the start. Linda, our host, was amazing. Wonderful at communicating all we needed to know about our stay and very hospitable. She helped us with directions and making sure we made it safely due to the fact that we were arriving so late in the evening. We definitely plan to stay here again and hope to plan for extra time to enjoy walks in the neighborhood and more time resting and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Thank you, Linda for your warmth and hospitality! We look forward to connecting with you again soon!
