About this property

Private Luxury Estate Multi Family Retreat with 10 Bedrooms & Animal Encounters!

Rockin' View Ranch is an enchanting place to bring families h and make memories! This peaceful escape is 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. Come enjoy the serene mountain view while enjoying the beautiful pool, always-hot jacuzzis, game room & animal encounters with our resident mini alpaca, mini donkey, dwarf goats, chickens, and bunnies. Rockin' View Ranch features three areas for your group to spread out, while still being all together! “The Ranch House” at Rockin’ View Ranch is a large 4200 sq ft 6 bedroom, 3 bath one-story ranch style house. 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

"The Bunk House" in located just steps from the Farm House and features a king bed with a loft that houses another kind bed, it's own full bathroom and LOTS of farm charm! Between all three of these accommodations, we can comfortable host up to 28 people, possibly more if there's small children.

The Ranch House (Vrbo# 3080888) and the Farm House/Bunk House (Vrbo #3476826) are each listed separately, however, we are making them available to rent together to accommodate your large group!

We have hosted corporate retreats, church groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays and anniversary parties, as well as small weddings and receptions. We can suggest personal chefs and event rental companies for your celebrations. You will need to inquire with us prior to booking if you are hoping to host an event. Events will be considered on a case by case basis and may require an additional event fee.

Please note that this is a smoke free, pet free property for the safety of our full time resident animals and to maintain an allergen free home. Our home is also in an area prone to wildfires, so we have a zero tolerance no smoking policy. Rest assured that we will turn over a sparkly clean, well maintained home for you to enjoy!

One of the things people love most about our property is the privacy it provides and the amount of space there is for everyone to be together, while not being on top of each other! Guests also mention all the thoughtful touches we've added to the house that make their stay more comfortable. Please check out our reviews, they speak for themselves and will make your decision to book much easier!

Best Family Reunion Location
We stay at a lot of short term rentals and this property was by far the best yet! The three different houses and large property made it perfect for our extended family. They anticipated our every need with homemade banana bread, snacks, hair ties and games. The kids loved feeding and petting all the animals. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they have added a pickleball court and skee ball since the pictures were submitted online. It was very easy traffic wise to get to Sea World, the beach and Balboa Park, it only took 30 minutes and was well worth the drive to be at such a resort location. The hosts gave us a personal tour upon arrival and responded promptly to any questions. They are friendly and generous and you can tell they have made it their mission to provide an incomparable vacation experience. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Best VRBO/House Share I've stayed in Ever! (and I've been to ALOT)
I have traveled to relatively high amount of places, and have stayed in several different house sharing locations across multiple platforms, in multiple countries for several years now. (upwards of 200+ in last 8-10 years) I have NEVER been to a place that has exceeded my expectations at this level. I was there for a bachelor party/work trip/birthday party/other with a large group of friends and could NOT have asked for a better place to stay. There are animals onsite that are super friendly (not to mention cute! -- we miss Tito and Lily) that you can actually interact with and feed! The pool is incredible and the pictures don't do it justice! Not only were the amenities themselves were beyond what I expected but the real treat was the level of thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and hospitality that Kim and Chris (hosts) gave to the stay. She baked us fresh baked goods as well as had a Happy Birthday sign up! Not only that, but the logical layout of the things that are needed when you're staying in a homeshare were literally perfect. Such as trash locations, with signs, dried goods in the pantry, plenty of cookware, etc! They thought of literally everything. I probably sound like I'm related to them or this is a fake review -- THIS IS NOT! I've already started plotting my return to this place as it was truly a stay of a lifetime! If you're considering a larger homeshare for a getaway -- don't hesitate, this is the one! Thanks again Kim and Chris!

Awesome Property for a Large Group
Our team of 13 stayed at the Rockin' Ranch and had a great time - we ventured into San Diego a few times, but you could be easily entertained on the property as is! Kim & Chris were friendly, responsive and super helpful, and maintain a beautiful property with comfortable beds, fast wifi, and a well stocked kitchen. And there was even delicious fresh banana bread in both houses when we arrived!!

FABULOUS
This was by far my favorite VRBO home rental experience. The owner met us at the house, and when she opened the door all you could smell was homemade banana bread. Yes, she had just pulled some banana bread out of the oven for us to snack on. The first thing I saw upon entering this gorgeous home is a stunning, huge, beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Wooohooo! This home has so much to offer for everybody in the family, from the animals, to the game room, to the massive seating area in the family room for all to gather. The owner was very attentive, anytime we reached out she responded right away. She told us about some yummy restaurant options, as well as some great activities in San Diego. All in all a fabulous experience. oh, and one more thing, getting to have fresh eggs from the chicken coop every morning was a bonus! Thank you Kim!
