All reservations are subject to our stated cancellation policy. Please note that certain fees, including processing, administrative, and service-related charges, are non-refundable for direct bookings as well as channels like Vrbo. We strongly recommend reviewing your travel plans carefully and considering travel insurance for added flexibility.



*Please be aware that we are not liable for any personal items left behind from your stay* If any personal items are left at the property, we will do our best to recover them. There will be a charge of $50 plus the cost of handling, packaging, and/or shipping for any items that need to be shipped back to you from your stay (prices may vary for large items).

* Rental Agreement required for all non-Airbnb guests

*Damage Protection Fee of $65 is required for all stays - Our damage protection fee helps protect both guests and hosts by providing coverage for accidental, unintentional damage that may occur during your stay. It gives everyone added peace of mind and helps resolve minor issues more smoothly, while guests remain responsible for any intentional damage, negligence, or violations of house rules.

*Our location alongside the park and surrounding canyon areas also means we are part of San Diego’s natural environment. Depending on the season and weather, guests may occasionally encounter local wildlife or insects such as ants or flies, particularly when doors or windows are left open. This is a natural part of the Southern California climate and our unique location.
