A perfect choice!

Marie and Allen were wonderful, accommodating, kind hearted hosts, with an attentiveness to detail in providing a clean, calm, respite, that was a pleasure to awaken in and to return to each evening. The space is lovely, welcoming, warm and comfortable. It has been beautifully created/decorated with care and concern for guests enjoyment and comfort. I found everything that I needed for my stay. Thank you for providing such a lovely environment, it was much appreciated. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of nature in the evenings as I fell asleep and when I awoke. I hope to stay again for my next visit to the area. Thank you!

Hummingbird Cottage

I loved this cottage! Very cute and very clean. Gorgeous view. I can tell the hosts put alot of thought and care in decorating and setting up the cottage. The hosts were wonderful and I thank them very much for an awesome stay. I was in San Diego for a memorial which was a little emotional. But it was so great to come back to the cottage and sit on the deck, relax and take in the wonderful view. Thank you so much! I would definitely stay there again!

Just What I Wanted

It has everything you need for quick weekend getaway. We actually extended our stay because we were enjoying ourselves so much. It’s private, cozy, intimate, easy access hiking, with all the modern amenities, and minutes from town. This is so well thought out. It really was everything we wanted/ needed, and better than what we anticipated.

About the host

Hosted by marie villescas

Hello travelers!
My husband Allen and I will be hosting you at a very special place called Hummingbird Cottage. We just remodeled this little guest house and decided to offer it to vacationers around the world. We would love to meet you and offer you a chance to relax and truly get away from it all.
Please read all the house rules before you book.
No visitors and only 2 registered guests. One car.
This little farmhouse is nestled in the woods on the far side of our 4 acre property in the lovely hills of Vista. Once you arrive on the top of the hill you will be in awe of the panoramic views of the country and city.
We are in a rural setting but only 5 minutes from the freeway and all shopping.
Vista is known for all of its great craft beer breweries and the second best climate in the nation!
We are in between Sea World and Disneyland in north San Diego Co and if you have never been here you are in for a treat!
There is so much to do in San Diego it is really something you have to check out for yourself.
Our property is one of a kind with no neighbors within sight of the Cottage. You really cant get that here in Calli anymore.
Allen and I rescue Yorkshire Terriers and are animal lovers. We have 5 rescues now and all of them have forever homes here with us.
We also raise chickens for eggs and love to spoil our hens. The eggs they give us are incredible and we offer them for sale if we have extras. They are amazing!
You will find me at home in the main house quilting, cooking, sewing, crocheting, knitting, decorating or something creative.
Allen works a couple of jobs so is very busy but loves to be here to meet our guests. We have been married 30 years now and both of us were in the hospitality business when we met at a restaurant in Irvine.

Why they chose this property

Once you arrive you will be able to leave your cares behind and really appreciate the farmhouse charm we love here.
Farm style is a reflection of simpler times and we really wanted to put that character into this place. As the world gets more hectic sometimes we just really need to step back and do simple again.
fresh air
more nature
bird watching
hanging out under the stars
quiet time
reflection

What makes this property unique

You really wont find a place like this so close to everything but so far away once you are back in the woods.
A little bit of heaven...
We invite you to come and stay at the farmhouse, we will be looking forward to meeting you!
Allen and Marie
