About this property

The Ranch House at Rockin’ View Ranch-Luxury Hideaway with Pool, Spa & Animals!

**As featured on the CBS travel show, Staycation! ** Please note that the Farmhouse/Bunkhouse featured at the 2:50 mark in the video is a separate listing (VRBO Property ID #3476826), or can be rented with the Ranch House at this VRBO listing Property ID #3547140.

This peaceful escape is a place to bring families together and make memories! Located in Eastern San Diego County, enjoy the space and privacy that comes with country living, while being less than 25 miles from San Diego's famous beaches. The Rockin' View Ranch features a serene mountain view while enjoying the beautiful pool, always-hot jacuzzi, and animal encounters with our resident alpaca, mini donkey, and lop bunnies. This spacious 4200 sq ft house has room for everyone with lots to do!!! Our peaceful retreat features a mini ranch with a mini barn, complete with a miniature donkey, miniature alpaca, dwarf goats, and lop bunnies. Enjoy simple ranch pleasures like collecting fresh eggs from our chickens for breakfast. The themed bedrooms feature different farm animals and are all beautifully decorated. The Game Room is fully stocked and we also have outdoor yard games such as a ladder toss and a corn hole game available as well. We just added a brand new pickleball court complete with a comfortable area with chairs and benches for spectators to watch the game! Our large, saltwater pool is solar heated year round, but can also be heated with propane to a toasty 85 degrees upon request for an additional fee. (Fee changes monthly based on base temperature and propane rates, please message for details.) There is SO MUCH to do, you may not want to leave. But if you do decide to venture out, we have many nearby attractions, and are not too far from some landmarks as well:
San Diego Beaches: 25 miles
San Diego Zoo: 25 miles
Sea World: 27 miles
Legoland: 33 miles
Mexico Border: 26 miles
Rosarito, Mexico: 38 miles
Disneyland: 90 miles
We are a 10 minute drive from the Viejas Outlet Shopping Center, and 10-15 minutes from several local casinos. Our base rate includes up to 8 guests. Additional guests (up to 16 total) are welcome for an extra guest fee of $25/guest per night. This allows our property to be more affordable to smaller groups and covers the extra utilities and cleaning that come with hosting more people.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Dilling

Host profile image
Hello fellow adventurers! My name is Kim. My husband, Chris, and I have raised our three kids in this amazing house for the past ten years. We love to travel, and have "taken notes" from the many places we have been and are adding our favorite special touches to hosting our own property. We hope you'll be blown away by our hospitality and all of the special things we do to make your stay memorable.

Why they chose this property

Ours is a unique property situated on 2.5 acres with lots of space where you can enjoy the serene views, the privacy and quiet of the neighborhood, and enjoy the beauty of the animals (both wild and domestic) that inhabit the property. We've had countless tent campouts in the backyard, late night swim sessions, hikes near our property, and nearby adventures...there are SO many we can recommend! We've gone from snow in the mountains 15 minutes from our house (rare, but it happens!) to the famous San Diego beaches which are 25 minutes in the opposite direction. We are excited to share our home with your family so you can create happy memories, just as we have!

What makes this property unique

Our home is still close enough (about 25-30 minutes) to the airport and many San Diego landmarks to enjoy them easily, but far enough away to offer a lot of space and a "farm experience" to our guests that you wouldn't be able to find in the city.
