The views were mesmerizing!Much more beautiful than pictures can show. Mike and Debra are veterans at making the stay tranquil and relaxing. A memory and friends were made! Thank you both!
It was a beautiful sight and pleasant experience overall. There was great communication and a very memorable experience. Felt at home and can’t wait to plan another stay there. Worth the time and effort to stay in such a great luxurious/welcoming place.
Checking is with Debra in person was such a special treat. First, her directions to the home were spot on, (and I arrived after dark which might have been a challenge!), and she was available to meet with me and give me a tour which made me feel right at home as soon as I arrived.The home was exactly as described and although I wasn't able to utilize the outdoor kitchen due to my schedule, it was wonderful and I'm sorry I missed out on that experience as well.The weather was perfect for leaving the windows open and between the fan overhead and the very comfortable bed, I had such a restful time while I was there.I was solo on this trip but the outdoor area is very large and would be wonderful for a group gathering. The view is amazing and if you are a plant person, the array of plant material on the patio is stunning!
Mike and Debra are amazing hosts. The property is clean and separate with a beautiful outside patio with full outdoor kitchen and pool table. Would definitely stay here again.
This was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time. The hosts were great!!! The weather was excellent!! The views of the valley and mountains added a Serene and quiet atmosphere. Also the fact that it is a gated community added peace of mind. I will be returning.
I stayed with Mike and Debra long term while a travel nurse. The place is so nice. It is so comfortable and has stunning views. They are a wonderful couple who make you feel comfortable. I Will definitely stay again if I do another travel assignment in the area.
This property exceeded any exceptions i had. The host Dedra and her husband are amazing host. They have thought of everything you could need for a quiet amazing stay. And if you want to set and chat they are wonderful company. We will be back to not just stay at there house but to visit our new friends. Thank you Debrav and Mike for a amazing stay! See you again!!
We were looking for a short trip away from home to unwind and this definitely fit the bill. We loved watching the hummingbirds on the feeder with the mountains in the background ! The room was clean ,and the bed was comfy. We enjoyed several restaurants including a "Pop up" only open on Sunday morning where we had incredible Mexican food. Valley View casino was a convenient short drive away as was Bates nut farm. The host was very responsive and available.
The perfect place if you are looking for a getaway that provides beautiful mountain and valley views, a wide patio to enjoy those views, and friendly, responsive hosts.The private entrance suite was comfortable and well appointed with a bright and airy bathroom and shower. I didn’t take advantage of the pool table or outdoor kitchen, but I enjoyed stargazing from the patio.There are great suggestions for dining and activities a short drive away. And, I enjoyed hiking at Daley Ranch also a short (15 minute) drive. Thanks to my hosts for the wonderful, restorative stay. The on-site hosts were charming and
Home away from home with amazing views - even better hosts!
We booked this Vrbo at the last minute. I had a previous accommodation lined out, but that fell through. Luck was on our side when we found this gem. Debra & Mike are amazing hosts. The space is impeccably clean and every detail is well thought out. Debra stayed in constant communication with us both before we arrived and throughout our stay. The views are gorgeous. Our stay was very comfortable and we even had private area to relax and enjoy the amazing terrace. 11/10 recommend visiting their home. We will absolutely be back!
We arrived on a rainy and cold Friday, probably the areas only rainy day in a long time. Communications ahead of time from the host was fantastic. Debra met us when we arrived and welcomed us. Our suite was cozy and roomy and comfortable. The hosts have an informative binder listing everything we needed to know, and recommendations for places to go nearby. We really enjoyed our conversations with them too! The neighborhood/area is scenic, quiet and peaceful and lovely to walk from the house. Debra asked each day if we needed anything and they were very accommodating. We hope to come back another time. Thank you!
Our first impression was awful having to deal with Debra the host. She's overbearing and controlling and has a lot of rules. I felt like I was a child staying with my parents. It was awful. For my husband to be uncomfortable it has to be really bad because he's very easygoing. There were ants inside all over in the bathroom and at the table inside and all over the walls. She comes inside our space when we're not there. My things were moved. The second night we were there our whole space smelt like weed. My husband has asthma and I have breathing issues which severely affected me and ruined my next day for my daughter's wedding. They also have a cat that I wasn't aware of and my husband is deathly allergic to cats. The room you stay in is connected to their house so you can hear them talking and coughing all hours of the day. She also has rules with the wifi and only has it on certain hours of the day. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It was a joke.
Debra and Mike.. What can I say... I don't really like to bother the host... I come and I leave the same.. As a camper I live by the motto take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footsteps... First time having a host living on the same property as I'm staying. Great experience...These two fine specimen of human are freaken awesome! so nice and accommodating, so cool to talk to. I will be back, k if you have any doubts... Leave it behind the place is clean everything you'll need is provided. Minus food and drink ofc. Thank you Debra and Mike for the positive vibes and great weekend! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
We had a delightful stay at this VRBO location in Valley Center. Our hosts, Debra and Mike, thought of everything. And if there happened to be anything else one might need, they were most willing to help. Communication with them was quick and easy. The directions they gave to find the place were perfect. The bed was very comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets if needed. The outdoor patio was enormous with a stunning view. Probably one of my favorite things about the room was the fact that the bathroom had two separate vanities with a huge amount of storage (adequate storage is something sadly missing in most hotel rooms these days). Debra clearly and patiently explained and demonstrated all of the features in the room and on the patio. There was a helpful guide for local restaurants and wineries. Our stay was very short so we undoubtedly missed many features of this property that would have been worth investigating. This was altogether a beautiful and peaceful place to get away for a while. Our hosts put the icing on the cake for our weekend by letting us share some time with their newly acquired cat family (pure heaven for me, a crazy cat lady). Thank you Debra and Mike.
Debra and Mike are lovely people. They greeted us and showed us around the property, and provided helpful information about the area.The bed was very uncomfortable and the suite was spacious.
