Nice Jome Vacation
There is a lot of dust under the beds. They should sweep or use a robot vacuum cleaner. The room inside needs to be renovated.
They should have free breakfast because it's outside the city.

The cabins were nice, but the grounds had not been maintained, the creek that was once beautiful and lively with ducks and fish,was dried up with moss and mold. The hot tub was drained. The check in person at the front desk, however, was super nice and apologetic. We left the property as we did not want to stay.

Perfect place for us to stay. The breakfast basket was awesome and the cottage was quiet which is what I was looking for and perfect for my dog to explore on our walks. Will definitely come again when I'm in Escondido again

So good, I don’t want to share!
Our cottage (Kestrel) was a compact, but efficient space. Incredibly clean and serene. The grounds are gorgeous. Highly recommend the sanctuary tour, the pig walk, and bringing your bathing suit, closed toed shoes, and some marshmallows and sticks to enjoy everything!
