About the host

Hosted by Elle Woodruff

Host profile image
We’re an adventurous couple who traded coastal city life for the quiet & solitude of rural San Diego. We fell in love with the slower pace, sweeping views, and the peace that comes from being surrounded by nature - yet close to it all.

When we’re not working on our land, we love exploring in our camper van with our sweet 10-year-old Australian Shepherd.

We’re grateful for the chance to share a little slice of our mountain paradise with others!

Why they chose this property

Tucked away in the scenic hills of North County San Diego, Hidden Meadows offers a relaxing retreat that feels worlds away—yet it’s just minutes from the I-15 and close to top destinations like Temecula wine country, downtown Escondido, and San Diego’s beaches.

Ideal for a weekend getaway or a quiet work-from-anywhere stay, this charming hillside community is known for its tranquil setting, mountain views, and star-filled skies. You’ll find walking trails, native wildlife, and wide-open spaces perfect for unwinding. Enjoy a round of golf or a casual meal at the local country club, then kick back and watch the sunset over the valley.

Whether you’re here to recharge, explore, or simply breathe in the fresh air, Hidden Meadows makes for the perfect home base—peaceful, beautiful, and just far enough off the beaten path.

What makes this property unique

Tucked away on 4 peaceful acres and bordering a 3,000-acre nature preserve, our property offers front-row views of the mountains, frequent wildlife sightings, and unforgettable sunsets.
