About this property
Beautiful Lake View Home
San Diegos secret lake house in the "Valley of The Gods", secluded, quiet, great amenities, close to all shopping, attractions and the lake is at the end of our street( two minutes). One of a kind area in San Diego Co. Safari Park 15min, Beach 20min, Mountains 90min, Mexico 45min, Disneyland 60 -75min., Thoroughbreds at Del Mar 15-20min
Most centralized location in San Diego County. Awaken to as the sun rises between the distant mountains and relax to find the moon in the evening, simply amazing especially when the moon is full......feels like you can touch it!
The lake has rentals for boating , fishing, kayaks,. Miles of hiking/biking trails....Coast to Crest trail runs directly through the area. The lake house is a great area to relax and get away from the hustle and chaos. Also see our complimentary "Beautiful Lake View Home" vrbo - listing #357-8810. Check with the dpt of boating and waterways for hours and days of water sports and approved sports as they may vary.
Cool " FREE " Things - During the kids free month of October children 11 or younger receive free admission at Zoo/Safari Park, Birch Aquarium Scripps and many museums (san diego.org/promotions/kids-free)..... during February seniors 65+ get the same Zoo/Safari deal (visit - SDZ/SafariPark.org). Over 20 San Diego museums are free. IPA-Observed on the first Thursday each August, National IPA Day is a hoppy hootenanny and there are many awesome local breweries in our town. SD offers so much.
We apologize for the incorrect google map sponsored location at Elfin Forrest, our house actually sits just 100yd off Lake Hodges water edge.......an awesome area and location , thus........"Awesome Lake House at Lake Hodges in Del Dios"

Why they chose this property
It's a great place venture around, hike, bike and to relax at. There are also a lot of water sports. It’s close to the most popular attractions, beaches, excellent restaurants and breweries. It's simply convenient and away from everything
What makes this property unique
Lake Hodges is where our adventure begun, it's also at the end of our block. Our house has a lot of old growth plants and trees, it's very homey and has all the amenities you expect. The only rental close enough to stroll to the waters edge. The beds are also comfortable and there's lots of space.
