We are sure you will find your stay delightful. Be sure to follow us and find out more about us on Facebook @thebluebirdretreat "Lara's home was perfect! The views were amazing! We even saw deer, 5 of them in the front yard. The home seems brand new with all the modern updates. Felt like we were staying at a 5 star hotel. Our only complaint is we wish we had more time to relax at her home & enjoy the calmness of it. Truly a home to recharge in." "This place is so extraordinary. The location is amazing, the home is cozy and well decorated. You can tell the moment you arrive that this is a special place. The birds in the yard, the scenery, the absolute quiet and the stars at night! It is well equipped for cooking meals and really, everything you need is there except your own things! So much attention to detail and making sure you will feel comfortable. I stayed so I could explore the area and visit Julian. A good spot to do that from." "We had the most amazing time at this beautiful home! I knew from the photos that this place would be nice but it was even better in person which is hard to believe! The hosts have gone above and beyond to make you feel at home, to have all those extra nice touches. We love sitting by the fire pit in the backyard and waking up and eating breakfast on the back patio. The views are spectacular. One of my favorite homes we’ve stayed at to date! If you stay here you won’t want to leave!" "Only praise for this amazing property! The pictures don't do the views justice - and I thought the pictures were amazing. The whole house is very stylish and the views from every room can't be beat! Between watching the birds and wildlife and sitting in the hot tub at night, we wouldn't have even needed to go anywhere else. With the close proximity to San Diego as well as the reasonable road trip distance to Joshua Tree, this is the perfect location. I would recommend this property to anyone. AMAZING!" "My wife and I could not stop talking about how perfect this house is. It feels like we jumped into a pinterest ad for beautifully done and decorated kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces. It smells clean and fresh and a little like crate & barrel. We can't get over the gorgeous views and landscaping. This was a quick weekend trip and we SO wish we had a least a few more days." "Exceptional & Outstanding!!! Our 14th stay at a vacation rental and this was the BEST! The indoor and outdoor space exceeded our expectations. It was the best, well equipped kitchen we’ve experienced. The proximity to incredible wineries is unmatched. This property is the definition of peace and relaxation...from the mattress to the hot tub and nature and the quiet! Clean and immaculate!

We had the most relaxing time with a beautiful view. Lara’s attention to detail in the house made us feel like we were at home…without the stress! She even checked in by text to make sure we got in and everything was ok.Hot tub with an incredible view of the valley and sunset. Clean, updated, with all the amenities. Multiple feeders and native brush attracted all kinds of birds. We definitely hope to go back and stay longer! ##### Mike H.

Lara’s home is clean, new, quiet and comfortable. The views are beautiful, and so are all the birds and other visitors. Enjoy nature while spoiling yourself with modern amenities (3 TVs!), strong AC and a fantastic, stocked kitchen. Lara is a great communicator and very responsive. You won’t regret booking this lovely, relaxing get-away. ##### Amy G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ---
