My husband and I stayed in Betsy’s cottage for 2 nights and couldn’t be happier. The bed was comfortable, the place was immaculate, it’s even nicer than the pictures. It’s in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to restaurants. We especially enjoyed listening to the pond at the front house while relaxing on the patio. If we come to San Diego again we will definitely stay here!

Absolutely beautiful little cottage in the most gorgeous part of San Diego - north park. Such a beautiful area, so lovely and quiet. We absolutely loved our stay- home from home. Betsy and Carly were on hand with anything we needed. Wonderful hosts and a wonderful property - perfect for our family of 3. Loved listening to the koi pool next door. Drifted me off to sleep!! 10/10 book it!!

This super cute place was so charming and conveniently located to all the things we wanted to do while visiting. The house sits on the property behind the owners home, but they do a good job making it feel more secluded. It was just big enough for my family of 3 for our quick stay in town. I would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay in Betsy's beautiful cottage. The size was perfect for my husband, daughter (13 months), and I. Betsy was always quick with communication which helped make our first big trip as a family that much easier. The location of the cottage was perfect and allowed for our family to visit multiple attractions a day in between naps. We hope to stay again in the future! Thank you, Betsy!

We had a lovely stay in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to walk to a few very good restaurants. Public transportation in the area didn't fit our needs, so we used Uber which was convenient.
