Romantic & cozy cottage w/fireplace; close to hiking trails & 30min to San Diego

Come and enjoy a romantic & tranquil getaway at this 1930's mountain cottage at the base of Mt. Woodson. Located on a working Camellia nursery just yards away from Potato Chip Rock hiking destination trailhead. Other than hiking; your days can be filled with golfing, wine tasting or fishing at the local mountain lakes. Other popular destinations which are 30 to 45 minutes away including magnificent beaches, beautiful downtown San Diego, the Zoo, Safari Park, Sea World and famous Julian. The cottage can only accommodate two people: a king size bed in one bedroom with fireplace, a bathroom with powder room, a small dining area, a kitchenette and a patio overlooking Mt. Woodson. The property is supplied by well water and solar energy; has Wi-Fi, Smart Lock & Blink Security system camera/ doorbell. Street parking is available a few feet from the driveway entrance. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and safe. You will hear birds chirping in the morning & crickets chirping at night. This rural hillside neighborhood is just within easy driving to get to town: 5 to 10 minutes to restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, antique stores & small shopping centers. This is not a child & pet friendly property. Lots of rocky pathways with stairs and wildlife. So sorry…. No kids or pets allowed.

Coziest Cottage Imaginable

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay here. The cottage was so cozy, clean, private, and well-kept, and the surrounding area was gorgeous! We loved waking up, making breakfast in the kitchen, and having coffee on the porch while we watched the birds. We want to come back as much as we can!!!

Light and airy, great stay.

Mike was super welcoming, offering a quick tutorial on the house (too big to be called a 'tiny' house; more like a 'mother in law suite'). Very comfortable for two. We used it as our launching point exploring Ramona's wine country 🍷 Fabulous stay!

Quaintly Perfect

Mike and his wife have created the perfect space to unplug from the busyness of life to connect back to yourself. The location nestled within the mountain, the peace, the cabins feel…everything was exactly what we were looking for for our weekend getaway. We will definitely be back. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space of home for those who find it!

Perfect cottage

Thank you Mike and Shirley for a wonderful stay. Your cottage is comfortable and perfect. The blackberries were delicious as well as the snacks left for us. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again when we're in Ramona. Thank you again!!

A Quaint Little Cabin!

My husband and I stayed here for a brief 2-night trip, as we planned on visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We had never stayed in a cabin/rental home before, so we didn’t know what to expect. Our hosts provided a wonderful, clean, and adorably decorated space for us with TONS of vintage charm (especially the kitchen). The hosts were very generous, keeping the space stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, and even an assortment of snacks and drinks. There was plenty of space for my husband, myself, and our luggage in both the main living area and bathroom/vanity area. The mattress was a bit firm for our liking, but we still slept just fine. All in all, we had a fantastic experience, and we’d happily stay here again next time we’re in the area!

Fantastic Mountain Cabin

The hosts Mike and Shirley are very thoughtful and I absolutely loved it. So did my wife. Everything was beautiful and amazing. Very comfortable bed and again they have thought of almost everything! We loved the place didn't even want to leave but life calls and we has to go home. From before we arrived Mike and Shirley were very communicative and welcoming. To our surprise the house was fully stocked with groceries and supplies. Everything was exceptionally clean organized and beautiful. We decided to wake up early to go for a walk and found a nearby hiking trail that we were unaware of was uphill and two miles long! But I loved it. I hope I get another chance to stay at this place. It is very relaxing and welcoming and comfortable. Anybody who stays here will not regret it!
