We rented this property in 2019 and the return trip in June of 2023 for a 5 night stay was again wonderful. The property's location provides beautiful, wide-sweeping views of Lake Hodges and the valley from above. We hiked the trails around Lake Hodges one afternoon. We love the home's amenities, including the pool, hot tub, ping pong table, fantastic kitchen, and the numerous areas where you can dine, inside or out, with great views. The home was very clean and there were plenty of bedrooms with sitting areas to spread out our group of 3 couples. Each couple took turns preparing dinner, and the kitchen, along with the catering area behind the kitchen, are well stocked with everything you will need. The property's host, Evan, checked on us via e-mail, after our 1st night's stay, to be sure all was in order. Communication with him was a pleasure and he was very responsive when we alerted him to an issue with the gas stove not fully working. He had a serviceman out the same day to work on it while we were at the zoo. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay, once again, at this property. It is the perfect location to give you a feeling of being in the countryside, yet close enough to visit all San Diego has to offer in the city and along the beaches. My wife loves the little, well-stocked, library in the home, and found numerous places to curl up and read throughout the house. We hope to make a return stay the next time our travels bring us to the San Diego area.
