The master bedroom with an en suite bath is just off the kitchen. The master also has a door to access the large wrap-around deck on the first floor.

The first-floor deck is equipped with a bbq, outdoor dining table, and lounge chairs for enjoying the view, reading, or summertime naps.

Great family gathering spot

The house is spacious and furnished beautifully. Great large deck with beautiful views and sunsets. We had a marriage vows renewal by the pool at sunset, and it was perfect. Comfortable beds. Great vacation.

50th wedding anniversary celebration

Just outstanding! Benjamin could not have been more accommodating…..I asked if there was an Espresso Coffe Pot and he said there wasn’t but he would buy one…and he did. We were 3 families and we all had our separate “quarters” giving us plenty of privacy. And there were games….so many games. I cannot say enough how wonderful the accommodations were and how pleasant our stay was. Thanks Benjamin for sharing your beautiful home wit us.

The perfect getaway house

My friends and I gathered here for my birthday party, and the house was absolutely perfect. The only "less-than-perfect" thing for the weekend was the monsoon-like weather, which kept us from enjoying the outdoor amenities such as the hot tub, steam room, deck lounge area, and spa pool. But if you're going to be cooped up inside all weekend, this is the perfect house for it ... it has both a rustic log cabin-ish and modern feel to it, and was supremely warm, spacious, and comfortable. The whole experience couldn't have been better, and Benjamin is among the best hosts/owners I've ever booked a rental with ... very responsive to all inquiries, he made check in/out a breeze, and set us up for success with the highly informative house manual. We were all raving about the house pretty much all weekend, and we can definitely see ourselves booking this house again in the future.

This is a wonderful place for family and friends reunion

I don't write many reviews in general but I feel obliged to write one for Benjamin and his vacation house near San Diego because I am highly impressed by both Benjamin's hospitality and his property. When we were looking for a vacation house near San Diego for getting together with friends, we booked Benjamin's cabin because my friends liked the fact the cabin was located in a farm and they wanted to try some place more peaceful. Before we arrived, Benjamin was very friendly and responded quickly to our questions with patience via VRBO. The day we arrived, Benjamin gave my friend a thorough tour of the house so we knew where to find things. All facilities listed on the VRBO website is up to or beyond our satisfaction. Since the cabin is located on the top of a hill, the view is fantastic from the deck or the living rooms on both floors. You can see the beautiful hills and the ocean as well. It is quiet and peaceful at night. There is plenty of space for our group of 10 to dine, entertain and sleep comfortably inside the house. We came at the right time when we could also enjoy some delicious tangerines on a tree right next to the drive way. When we had some peculiar requests, Benjamin drove right over from his house to help us. Driving was easy to the tourist places such as La Jolla beach and Sea world. We also did some hiking at Eflin Forest Nature Preserve which is very close to the house. Overall, my friends, including our kids, love pretty much everything about the cabin. The only thing that could be improved is the water pressure of the shower header in the downstairs guest bath is on the lower side. Thank you Benjamin and your family so much for hosting us! We had a great time at your vacation house and wish to come back for another time in the future. Wish you the best, Chen

We absolutely loved our two week stay at Fat Bottom Farm. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodated all of our requests and really made our stay a holiday to remember. The house is gorgeous and is fully equipped with everything you'll need for all the family. A wonderful space with plenty of entertainment for all - pool, hot tub, gym, pool table, table tennis, shuffleboard and darts. There aren't many houses where you can watch the sunrise and sunset from the same wraparound veranda but this is one of the best and they really didn’t disappoint. My early morning coffees watching the sun come up was one of my highlights. The house is perfectly located to Elfin Forest for hiking and just 25 mins from Carlsbad - so easy to reach the coast and all the beaches. We loved the sea lions at La Jolla Cove and coastal hike at Torrey Pines. San Diego Safari Zoo is definitely worth a visit and whale watching in Oceanside was magical. Really well located to San Diego and super easy to get around. We really can't recommend this house highly enough and will definitely return.

This is an incredibly beautiful property, up and down, inside and outside. The nature, the privacy, the comfort of having everything you need… this place has it all. I would say the only downfall at all is that the pool is not a full sized swimming pool (which I could have missed a disclaimer upon booking). It’s the perfect leisure pool and is the perfect depth for kids, but don’t expect to be diving and taking long laps. The area is spacious and views are breathtaking. The owners are very prompt to respond, very kind, and even shipped a few things my kids left behind. They had great recommendations and with a little drive, you have so many options for fun activities! 10/10 would recommend to everyone needing a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

The house was beautiful and spacious with so many amenities we didn't have time to enjoy them all on our short weekend trip. The house was perfect for us; allowing the teenagers to stay upstairs as a "hangout", and the adults to stay downstairs away from the giggling. It was the perfect holiday!

Peaceful Retreat

What an amazing stay! We were in the Delmar area for a National soccer tournament and chose this listing for the proximity to the venue, but also to provide us with a place each day to unwind and recharge. Fat Bottom Farm provided exactly what we wanted plus more! It was peaceful, tranquil, with the most beautiful sunsets. The host Benjamin was attentive and incredibly helpful going above and beyond for us the entire stay. We will be back!

Relaxing

The property offered enough amenities to keep us busy on our stay. The bathrooms were beautiful, kitchen offered all gadgets and dishes, and beds were super comfortable. There were a few TVs, but we only tuned in for an hour or so. Games kept us entertained, along with shuffle board table and pool table.

Plenty of things to do at the property for all ages. Games, pool, shuffleboard, darts, not to mention the pool. Outdoor space is very peaceful. Remote location, but fairly close to town to get supplies, or go to eat. All around a great place to relax, unwind and reconnect with family. We did have one small issue with the water (neighbor below cut the main line), the hosts got on the problem and their handyman had it fixed within a few hours. Not even long enough to be an inconvenience. Hadley came by and made sure we were ok, offered plenty of options in case it was prolonged. Overall great hosts, great property, great time had by all!

Amazing view just outside of town

This place is really cool! Communication from the host was excellent. We loved the view and the fact that this property was just outside of town. Lots of privacy! The house was stocked very well including condiments, extra batteries, coffee, multiple throw blankets on every couch, soap + shampoo in every bathroom and shower. Everything you'd need. Being able to pick fresh fruit in the yard was a great experience. Next time we're in San Diego, we will rent this property again.

First Family Vacation

This place and the host are amazing!! The house and the property is beautiful. The views from anywhere in the house is breathtaking. There was something for everyone to do from kids to adults. They have the big items there for you, but to me it was the little items that set them apart from others. It was nice that the host (Benjamin) was in contact as he said he would and also very on top of things even before we asked. IE: beach equipment, townies directions, and fresh fruits. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you again for an amazing experience and being part of this trip. Aloha!!
