About this property

Corporate Housing or Vacation Retreat! This is a very special place. It is a quiet, private, light and airy country cottage situated on nearly an acre of land near beautiful Lake Hodges. The house is fully renovated with beautiful, high-end materials. Not your average rental. Sit in the spacious screened-in porch and take in the scenery. Sit outside and take in another exquisite view. The house is surrounded by nature. It has 1 bedroom with in-suite bath downstairs and a beautiful master bath with queen size sleeping loft upstairs. It is fully equipped with high speed wifi, printer, office supplies, full subscription cable tv plus most streaming services. You are a 15-20 minute drive to Del Mar beach and racetrack down a gorgeous country road through Rancho Santa Fe. Hop on the 15 freeway and be in Temecula or downtown San Diego in 30 minutes. You are near the Wild Animal Park (15 minutes), loads of shops and restaurants. It is very centrally located. Close to Palomar hospital, shopping etc. A feeling of a retreat, with everything close by.

Beyond Amazing

This property is a true gem! It's beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. This is NOT your average VRBO, its a little slice of heaven with attention to detail that could be featured on HGTV. The view from the screened in porch is awe inspiring. If you are looking for a serene place to enjoy the greater San Diego area, look no further! Shelley went above and beyond as a host, which made my stay even better. She was thoughtful, helpful, and informative. 5 stars all the way around! I would absolutely stay again.

Charming Cottage with Spectacular Views

Loved, loved, loved this charming cottage. The view of the valley and surrounding mountains is spectacular. The beds and furniture is very comfortable. And the host has provided for every need - the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked and there are ample linens, towels, and supplies. We stayed at the cottage for almost 4 weeks and will definitely stay again.

Lake Hodge Villa

We LOVED our stay in this charming & inviting little San Diego dream house — It is literally a little corner of paradise. We wanted a quiet, peaceful, inspiring abode for our vacation and that’s exactly what we got. With nature all around the house, we felt a bit secluded from the rest of the world, slowed down the city’s fast rythm, soaking in the fantastic views it has to offer as well. The thoughtfully curated house made us feel at home right from the start and we could see that the host put a lot of care and intentionality in the way the different rooms are decorated. It made us appreciate the simpler things such as drinking coffee on the patio, or a cocktail in front of the fireplace. We were also impressed by the abundance of amenities - we had everything we needed and even more. Shelly is such a thoughtful host, leaving us a note to greet us and a delicious surprise and always reponding to our questions in a heartbeat. We are hoping this becomes our ”local thing” and to go back again next year to make new unforgettable memories!

Wonderful experience

This is a delightful house with a gorgeous view. We enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and watching the birds soar by at eye level. The flowers on the property and in the surrounding neighborhood were beautiful. Our host was very accommodating and has equipped the house with every amenity.
