About the host
Hosted by Doris or Odd Busk
Both are adoring grandparents and their sizable families live within a few hours drive all around San Diego County. Doris is a California girl and a Five Star Chef and her husband, Odd is a native-born Norwegian, a retired oil platform engineer. They purchased this house in 1995 and have recreated a path together with Norwegian Woods, your home away from home.
With over ten years as the Chef at an upscale B&B, and my Norwegian-born husband, a retired oil platform engineer, we made the decision to recreate our paths.

Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of its peaceful energy and unique Native American history, and old growth forest setting.
What makes this property unique
The tranquil setting among the trees enhances the privacy unlike any other.
Inside, the circular fireplace beckons you to gather round and enjoy a cocktail or toddy, tea or coffee and each other.
The property sits on a designated 'Kumuyaay Native American Heritage' site with one of the largest known collections of rock morteros in this area, along with many pottery shards
The property was a part a summer/fall encampment for desert and coastal Indian bands for hundreds and possibly thousands of years. According to many local tribal members familiar with the property, this is a very special place and blessed. We believe them.
