This place literally felt like paradise. If you didn’t know you were in San Diego, you would feel like you’re in Hawaii! The backyard was so beautiful that we spent the majority of our time out there in the pool, hot tub, and tiki bar! The upstairs patio was fantastic for outdoor eating. The hosts were super communicative with any questions we had prior to and during our visit! We definitely can’t wait to stay again in the future!

Majestic Private Mountain Glamping Oasis

SteveRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Angelica's place is very beautiful nestled in between the mountains, peaceful and quiet. She is very responsive to any questions or needs. The donkey's and goats were very friendly. My kid had a wonderful time petting and feeding the animals. I think it was the highlight. There were citrus trees there that she let us pick from. The fruits were delicious. If you want a place to get away from and be isolated and absolute quiet, then this is the place. Glad we got the chance to enjoy the getaway.

Reese thank you so much for providing a wonderful home. I'll be back!
