this is a "back house" that doubles as a wine testing room downstairs. the location is secluded and quiet. it is a big piece of land and we were free to roam around to see the winery, the creek, the veggie garden etc. it is def. a place to unwind and to relax. no TV there, talk to each other. however, there is wifi, since reception is non existent otherwise. very nice host, we felt like we were at grandparents' house for the day. there is bbq grill and table at the porch for you to use. there is a big balcony overlooking the property, it's very relaxing to be outside and sip some tea. the house is very well stocked: toiletries, towels, tissues etc., kitchen has tea kettle diff types of tea & coffee maker, plates and utensils, dish washer, fridge, microwave etc. we felt that the host well thought this through! it also felt very safe, the only issue we had was the bugs. I know we were in nature and we wanted to open the windows/ doors to get the fresh breeze, but the bugs came right in, so we had to shut the doors/ windows. some windows have screens, but not very secure, so bugs easily got in. there is a lot of history to this house, and the host would gladly tell you all about it. there are grapes growing in the back and it's gorgeous to be in the winery during sunset! lastly, the dogs are sweet :) and the host sat at the porch and waved goodbye to us as we were driving away, so sweet, like we were leaving grandpa's place.

We weren't able to get the full experience in exploring your beautiful place and testing out the wine ... since we just got there to sleep ..but i would love to come back ... when we arrived everything was well organized and they even went out of their way to make the sofa bed ... this is such a peaceful place to wake up too .. i truly felt at home.. everything was clean and the scenery was simply beautiful.. if your into nature and the sound of the birds this is a great place to stay, private and extreamly cozy.. Thank you grant and sarah!!

Absolutely a 5 Star for R&R stay.Thank you Grant and Sarah!

Grant & Sarah were great! We showed up a little later than anticipated on night #1 and both Grant & Sarah were very accommodating. They even had us downstairs for a wine tasting after our arrival! We recommend the Vin Gris. The unit was very clean and full of amenities. Great DVD/movie collection...but be sure to bring your computer. The lettuce from their garden was on point. There are even a few neat hikes within a 20 minutes drive. Use (URL HIDDEN) to navigate. The backside of the Cleveland National Forest is definitely worth a visit.

What a great spot to head off from to start the PCT! Grant and Sarah were the perfect hosts, and the guesthouse is even more charming in person Great place, great communication, great people - great stay!

Grant and Sarah have created a beautiful and relaxing place to spend some time. We would have stayed longer if possible. It is a world away and the house itself is very nice as advertised. With a big balcony for relaxing. It is quite spacious with a big living room, dining, kitchen. Nice clean bathroom with hot shower. Complimentary wine tasting after we arrived to sample some of the wines they produce from their vineyard. Big vegetable garden to pick salad greens from which is perfect for vegetarians! Very nice place. Would stay here again when passing through this area for sure.

The walking/hiking in the area is amazing. Start early while it's cool and go as far as you'd like. Definitely check it the mini mart for food and small grocery supplies. As far as the wine, try the Vin Gris

Lovely, quiet and scenic place. Perfect to get away and be with nature. Sarah and Grant have put so much love into their vineyard. We loved exploring and especially picking veggies from their garden. The apartment was stocked with toiletries, plenty of fresh linens and complimentary coffee along with other goodies. Plenty of thoughtful touches left by the hosts. We will visit again!

The property is breathtaking in the morning surrounded by clouds. It was a pleasant and relaxing stay and the pool is beautiful. I'd love to return in the near future.

The weekend I spent at this Airbnb was amazing. The views were all around great and the house + landscaping were a dream. Laura did an amazing job keeping the place cozy yet modern. I wish I could've stayed longer. Definitely would come back and recommend other people to the Airbnb. Thank you Laura for everything!

The property was beautiful and relaxing just as promised. My wife and I stayed 3 nights at the Metaphysical Retreat. If you are looking for a private, quiet, and picturesque location I would suggest staying here. The directions to get there were spot on. The binder with directions on the house included everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. They were prompt in getting back to us on a question that we had. If you enjoy grilling while on vacation, there is not a better view to grill (oysters in our case) and relax. The hot tub is great. The weather was a little cold for going in the pool, but it does look beautiful. The hot tub is the easiest to work you will find at a rental. One button push on and one button push off. We would stay again!!

Thank you so much Laura! We loved our stay at Jamul. Would definitely recommend this sweet abode!! We had a wonderful time with our friends, we enjoyed the unbelievable pool and hot tub. I really recommend to stay at this great place!

The directions provided were very easy to follow. The property was just as amazing as described, and then some! Such a beautiful place to stay made our anniversary so much more magical. I can't imagine a more perfect place to get away from the pressure of everyday life and truly relax and reconnect with yourself. It was amazing and we plan on coming back as soon as possible! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

This place is amazing, you're in your own private lil world. The views are amazing no matter what direction you're looking at. The pool was amazing. Can't wait to come back and have another vacation here.

My wife described this metaphysical retreat like living in a painting. I can't disagree. Nestled at the top of a mountain, the driveway is a bit hairy, but once we arrived, we didn't want to leave. The views are terrific, offering a sweeping panaromic of the nearby mountaintops. After hiking the local trails, we enjoyed a dip in the hot tub and relaxing in the chairs by the poor. Highly recommended!

My birthday was MAGICAL!! The energy on this property is unbelievable. I enjoyed the pool and the spa the most. What a great space to recharge. I hope to return. Thank you Laura & Milt!

The view was very peaceful to wake up to every morning. Emma was very hospitable and polite when she was available.

we loved the fresh eggs from the chickens the kids had a great time staying there!

Emma was very quick at responding to my messages. Upon arrival, she was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Her RV was perfect for our retreat & I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering renting this place!

Great views and friendly chickens.

Emma and her husband (Warren) we so nice to both me and my boyfriend. She had the most adorable chickens and dogs! The Trailer was so close to San Diego, for the price it was wonderful! It was a little dirty, but then again it is a farm situation.

Emma was great and you really can't beat the price. The other reviews are pretty spot on regarding the cleanliness, but overall our stay was very nice.

Great place, Emma was super sweet!

Emma is a very nice and welcoming host. The location of the RV is fantastic. Before you arrive, clarify with the owner exactly what you need and make sure that those amenities are provided.

The house was absolutely perfect! There was plenty of space for all of our guests and the outdoor areas were perfect for entertaining. The views were amazing and it was lovely being in the secluded mountains. Evolve Vacation Rental made us feel very welcome and provided everything we needed and more! We can't wait for our next vacation here :)

The hosts were incredibly kind and extremely helpful. We took a large group of about 14 and the house had everything we needed. Lots of space, great entertainment with the pool, jacuzzi, pool table, tv's. We look forward to renting the house again in the future.

The house was great and was well equipped with all the necessities. The host is very nice, generous, and they try to be available for questions or any other needs. I would recommend this place for a big group of people who want to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Mary's place was outstanding! Beautiful views and beautiful land. The house was very neat and clean. This is one of those places where pictures cannot show how truly amazing this place is. Mary was very friendly and helpful. She was great at communicating and she made sure we had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay.

Mary's Butterfly House is beautiful. Mary is a very gracious host. She was wonderful with my family. The house is spacious and fun. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Felt very welcome by Monique and her dog Chico! The house was very nice with a great view to the park, lake, and mountains. Definitely worth it and will be back soon!

Absolutely the best stay! Excellent location, great neighborhood. Monique is a wonderful, intelligent, very friendly host, and her place is very clean, nice and so comfortable. Beautiful house as it was relaxing and inviting. Our host made us feel so welcome! We had use of the kitchen and refrigerator. It feels like a home away from home. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much Monique! We would definitely love to visit again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

It was great! She gave us a tour, had coffee for us. She was so nice. We didn't see her often but her home was very welcoming

Monique was very nice and very helpful throughout my stay. The location was perfect for my needs and very safe.

Monique met me when I arrived. She is very gracious and kind. She was very good to make sure that I had everything I needed. My room was very comfortable and clean, and the house and grounds are beautiful. I would love to stay again.

Beautiful place -- very nicely decorated, equipped with everything you could need. Neighborhood is Beautiful and safe. The view to the lake is very nice and restaurants very close by. Check-in was smooth, Monique is very nice and very welcoming. I felt at home! Really liked this place!

Monique was a great host:) she made us feel very welcome in her AMAZING home! We had a really good time there arround the pool! She even brought us a fan one night because it was warm in the room ( room wich was very confortable) We strongly recommand her and her place:)

Everything was great living at Monique's place, with a decent and clean house, lively neighborhood. Most importantly, Monique is very kind woman with a great sense of humor. My girl friend and I had a good time during those two days.

Beautiful Neighborhood, convenient access. A lot of privacy and comfy bed

Great first airbnb experience! Lovely home and family

We found Maria very welcoming, and accommodating. Her place is a beautiful, clean peaceful house. Sally and I enjoyed our stay immensely.

Maria and Saul were so sweet. The rooms were clean and you have a whole restroom to yourself. There have a beautiful, white doggy so it feels just like home. Thank you Maria and Saul!

Absolutely fantastic looking house and area, definitely felt like we were staying in the state of California with it! House is shared with the owner's family but they stay out of your way and host is very polite, talkative and helpful. Very lovely lady. (And their dog is just adorable...)

It's was absolutely AMAIZING time to stay in Maria's house! So clean and decorated very very nice! Very beautiful room with everything you need and even some yummy goodies:) We take wonderful morning walk on trail around neighborhood and come back to house smell and served with delicious breakfast! We enjoy talking to Maria. She is great! Love to come back again!

Best Vacation Experience We've Ever Had!

Maria's home is absolutely beautiful. She is a wonderful hostess, extremely accommodating, and made a wonderful breakfast. I really enjoyed talking with her.

Christina (& Gary) are amazing host. With two young boys their experience with several grand kids comes in very handy. They have great levels of patience and understanding. The room was clean, and ready to stay-in. She provided with linens, bottled water, fruits ... Christina even played baseball, cycle with my son and made them burrito & pancakes too. Such hospitality will never be experienced at even a 7-star hotel. In the short 3-days stay, my son already wants to go back!!

Nice House in a Nice Neighborhood. Gary and Cristina were easy to work with, friendly, and accommodating. They are very close to the OTC which was very helpful. Both Community Pools are large and great for swimming laps in, and have Jacuzzi too. They can be popular with the local kids, so if you're looking to swim laps you'll want to time it around that. The room is as pictured. As noted there isn't air conditioning, but that wasn't an issue while I was there. They get an Ocean Breeze in the evenings. The TV in the room has 100s of Cable Channels. I've been busy and haven't watched TV in quite a few years, so that was actually interesting for me one day competition finished early. Thank you!

It was sure nice to come away to a quiet neighborhood after a long day of fun in the city!

Gary and Cristina were very friendly. Such a best hosts. The room was very clean and quiet. Wonderful experience.

Gary and Christina were wonderful hosts! Couldn't have asked for a friendlier, more helpful couple, and their home is beautiful. Close by to lots of amenities, and only 25 mins from downtown San Diego. They were quick to offer assistance and advice on things to do in San Diego (and nearby), and certainly made us feel like we were at home in their place. I highly recommend Gary as an AirBnB host.

My experience with Gary's home was great and beyond my expectations. He made my first AirBNB stay very warm and comfortable. Gary was very prompt with all my inquiry messages and was very accommodating with my check-in time. The pictures on his profile is exactly what is looks like in person, but even bigger! The neighborhood was quite and clean, with plenty of street parking. There is a nice plaza around the corner that has a Walmart, popular fast food restaurants and banks. Gary was very personable in person and made me feel relaxed to stay in his home. The private room is nice and clean. Nice comfortable bed, a nice flat screen HD TV with free cable, good wifi connection, very clean and spacious shower with complementary towels, clean bathroom with fast running hot and cold water, and a nice walk-in closet with complementary hangers for my clothes. They were very respectful to me, as their guest, and respected my independent space. Lastly, I had no issues with noise and felt safe staying in their home. I told Gary, I will no doubt stay in his home for my next San Diego trip. I would give this a 10 star rating if I could!!!

Cristina and Gary made me feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole family circle were so nice to me whilst i was there. The neighbourhood is very safe and picturesque. The accommodation was a great size, and very comfortable, clean and welcoming. I would not hesitate in recommending this place to stay.

My experience here was so great!! Gary and his wife were so welcoming and even made a delicious breakfast in the morning. I felt like I was at home and taken care of. Their neighborhood and lovely abode are beautiful and comfortable. Will definitely stay here when I am in town next!

Such a wonderful casita for my family of 4. The views are incredible and the neighborhood is quiet and great for walking. We will come back!

Great stay! Would highly recommend if you're by the area.

Very clean, upscale and had all the little details taken care of. Very close to Otay lakes and the coast hills. Howard was a great host, and even gave us notice that we could check in early since the place was ready.

What a joy it is to leave this kind of review. This was our first time experiencing Airbnb and I have to tell you that you are missing out if you have not tried this Casita for your stay. The place is a lot “homier” than the pictures show, and the extra amenities are top notch. A few things we didn’t expect were a nice Keurig machine with complimentary coffee pods for your morning coffee, a mini fridge (with a few cold waters already inside) … and best of all a soft and potable water system for the showers (which I might add is a large walk-in shower which could easily fit like five people inside). Additionally, there was a nice memory foam mattress from Jerome’s furniture store and plenty of towels and blankets in a bin underneath the bed. They also have silverware, plates, a wine and can opener for your needs with a nice old school amp system for your devices. Also, included in this “home away from home” is an Apple T.V. with access to Netflix (under Howard’s account) or you can easily plug in your own information. You will also have blazing fast Wi-Fi (didn’t experience any lagging with heavy surfing). I couldn’t believe how cute and cozy this Casita was--and Howard was a true professional--with great communication. We stayed here for eleven days and it truly was a great experience from easy key coded door access check-in to check-out. You also have your own thermostat. In closing, you can trust your stay here will not only be enjoyable, but really reasonably priced. Thank you, Howard and team, for a great first Airbnb experience and stay while we conducted house hunting (Military and just moved to the area). Ken, Rachel and Ariana (2.5 years old so kid friendly too).

Nice place would stay here again for sure. Nice & quiet a little driving distance to everything but it's worth it. Quiet & nice neighborhood great place for family & friends.

Howard's place was excellent! A true sanctuary in the greenery and hills of Chula Vista. Spacious, clean and with attention to detail like filtered, reverse osmosis water from all taps and showers. And Howard was a fantastic host attending to some of our special needs and allowing an early check-in when possible. Howard's communication was prompt and specific. Carol and I have nothing but great things to say and gratitude for letting us share their casita. I highly recommend this home to anyone. Thank You, Carol & Jerome

The property is immaculately clean. Everything one can need for a relaxing few days. Towels and extra pillows and blankets were provided. Although I only used the mini fridge to store some snacks and drinks, the small kitchen has pots and pans and even some cooking oil to use. Howard made it very easy to contact him and he replies very quickly. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends visiting the Chula Vista/Eastlake area.

This place is very very clean well stocked with whatever you forgot very safe and comfortable hosts are awesome!

This was a great place to stay. Very clean, comfortable, and private. It was easy to check in and out. I would quite happily stay again. Many thanks, Dawn and David!

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay was wonderful & communication was excellent!

Lovely room. Comfortable bed with lots of pillows. Clean bathroom and plenty of towels and shampoos. Ample and easy parking with beautiful parks and running paths nearby. Friendly host. Only issue was intermittent cable and internet. Thanks for the hospitality!

The room was well appointed, comfortable, and made our time in San Diego all the more enjoyable. David and Dawn were excellent hosts, I'd recommend this room to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

Damon and Amy are fantastic hosts! From the Airbnb sight, check in was at 3pm, Damon texted me at 1pm saying the room was ready. The room was stocked with items you wouldn't even think of: water, mini fridge, extra towels, hair dryer, iron, ironing board, flip flops. The whole stay, Damon and Amy were very accommodating, texting us each day to see if we needed anything. The room itself was great! Up to date, clean and everything worked perfectly. The bed was super comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. Neighborhood was wonderful, we felt very safe and at east. Would definitely stay with them again.

You will not be disappointed, the rate cannot be beat!

The place is great, convenient, and exactly what we were looking for! We'd definitely stay here again.
