This lakefront property is very charming and cozy. Just what you need to get away from the city without having to travel so far. The lake and scenery are beautiful. Our host Hollie was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay at this property again.

This guest and her family were great! They were respectful, communicative, and left our home tidy. I’m glad our place was a good fit for their needs and just short distance away from dropping their son off at Cal State San Marcos. We’d be more than happy to host them again any time. 🥰

I booked this place so that my family could all be under one roof while visiting to maximize our time together. We enjoyed all the amenities the house had to offer and I wish we had more time there. It was so nice having a kitchen that was fully stocked with kitchen items to cook with since we ate in most of the time. The home was so peaceful and the view was amazing. My 100 year old Grandfather had the best time watching the birds and other activities on the lake. The property management was responsive to any issues that did arise. I would defiantly book here again if I have a large amount of family in town.

Impressive property. Everything was clean, the host was promptly replied to questions. The description just needs to be clarified about being able to park in the 2-car garage. We were under the impression that we could park our cars in the garage but it was occupied. My friends and I are already thinking about renting this property again during our next planned weekend get together. We’re hoping that it will be available then. We have already recommended this poperty to other friends.

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful review! I’m glad you enjoyed our home and plan to hopefully come back. Thank you for leaving the house tidy and cared for. I checked our amenities section of our listing under parking, and I don’t see that it says it includes 2 car garage parking. It only says there’s parking onsite which would be the driveway. I’m glad that you were able to move the ping pong table to park at least one of your cars. We look forward to hosting you again. Take care, Hollie
