Coziest Cottage Imaginable
My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay here. The cottage was so cozy, clean, private, and well-kept, and the surrounding area was gorgeous! We loved waking up, making breakfast in the kitchen, and having coffee on the porch while we watched the birds. We want to come back as much as we can!!!

Light and airy, great stay.
Mike was super welcoming, offering a quick tutorial on the house (too big to be called a 'tiny' house; more like a 'mother in law suite'). Very comfortable for two. We used it as our launching point exploring Ramona's wine country 🍷 Fabulous stay!

A Quaint Little Cabin!
My husband and I stayed here for a brief 2-night trip, as we planned on visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We had never stayed in a cabin/rental home before, so we didn’t know what to expect. Our hosts provided a wonderful, clean, and adorably decorated space for us with TONS of vintage charm (especially the kitchen). The hosts were very generous, keeping the space stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, and even an assortment of snacks and drinks. There was plenty of space for my husband, myself, and our luggage in both the main living area and bathroom/vanity area. The mattress was a bit firm for our liking, but we still slept just fine. All in all, we had a fantastic experience, and we’d happily stay here again next time we’re in the area!

Thank you Mike and Shirley for a wonderful stay. Your cottage is comfortable and perfect. The blackberries were delicious as well as the snacks left for us. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again when we're in Ramona. Thank you again!!

Fantastic Mountain Cabin
The hosts Mike and Shirley are very thoughtful and I absolutely loved it. So did my wife. Everything was beautiful and amazing. Very comfortable bed and again they have thought of almost everything! We loved the place didn't even want to leave but life calls and we has to go home.
From before we arrived Mike and Shirley were very communicative and welcoming. To our surprise the house was fully stocked with groceries and supplies. Everything was exceptionally clean organized and beautiful. We decided to wake up early to go for a walk and found a nearby hiking trail that we were unaware of was uphill and two miles long! But I loved it. I hope I get another chance to stay at this place. It is very relaxing and welcoming and comfortable. Anybody who stays here will not regret it!
