About this property

Lake House - Novel Attractions Close / Safari Park Zoo/ Legoland / Sea World


Let your next adventure start at our Lake Hodges house.......

San Diego's 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 minute walk). 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.

Imagine wakening to the sun rising between the distant mountains, a calming fog lightly decapitates, the lake appears, glistening and welcoming you to the new day. While on the upper deck you sip a steaming cup of fresh coffee, one deep breath of the fresh, clean air and your awake ready to go. The end of the day is equally as pleasant.... a picturesque full moon slowly heads high in the dark sky, it comforts, calms and ends your day of this great adventure. Quiet blankets the valley and you feel your part of everything around you.....Welcome home!

The lake has it's own glamor, 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.
Best of San Diego " 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"
