The highlight of this stay was definitely the outdoor space. It is absolutely excellent—well-designed, spacious, and the perfect spot to relax and soak up the atmosphere. It is also a great family spot, with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. We spent most of our time out there! Highly recommend if you enjoy being outdoors.

This is a magical place that I booked for Christmas. It is situated next to a small mountain, and has a seasonal stream. I was concerned that there was rain forecast, but Christmas day had blue skies. It rained Christmas Eve and the day after, which was great. The stream was wonderful to hear as there were small waterfalls. It was so peaceful! My family couldn't thank me enough for booking this home. Lots of great family memories made! Thank you Mika!

We used this cabin in San Diego for our family gathering, and it was absolutely perfect! The location was very convenient, with easy access to downtown, the beach, and all the sightseeing spots in San Diego. The house itself was extremely clean and had a stunning view—honestly, I’ve never stayed in such a beautiful place before! Mika, our host, responded to us super quickly, and the kids had a blast playing in the gorgeous yard. I’ve never seen such a lovely yard with that kind of view! It made our family gathering truly special. It was amazing! If you reserve it, you’ll have one of the most enjoyable and unique getaways ever! It was absolutely fantastic, truly one-of-a-kind, with a wooden decor style that was so tasteful and full of detail.Thank you Mika!

Our stay was lovely, and we enjoyed your house very much. It was comfortable, spacious and spotless. I do have a couple of suggestions. 1. the guest toilet runs unless the handle is pulled up manually.- it needs adjusting.2. A shower stool and grab bars in the master bath would be handy in the event of a disabled guest staying in the house.3. When it becomes feasible, a stairway and ramp from the main level deck down to the outside decks would be nice as would a ramp at either the front or kitchen doors. .As you can tell, I am disabled and while I managed, these improvements would have made my stay even nicer.

We enjoyed the home and property. Lots of room to run around and enjoy being outside as well as lots of room inside to gather. The hot tub was a hit with the kids! The decorative lighting outside was fantastic!

Property was impressive the house we felt like we are far from reality. We all had a good time the bonding we had is priceless. We would recommend it to our friends and family. The only minor discrepancy is the drainage of the sinks in all bathrooms and trash we dont have anyplace to put the trash, the trash bins were full. To Ms Mikah and Mr. Ramin thank you.

EL Cajon Cabin

We enjoyed our weekend stay. It was spacious, child friendly, and clean. There were many stairs. The outdoors were beautiful. The owners responded promptly when we asked questions. The check-in instructions were thoroughly and clear. The driveway is a bit narrow and steep when you first turn in, but we had a truck and a car, they both made it with ease. You will not be disappointed with the beauty, tranquility, and comfort of this beautiful place. My pictures won't upload to show the pure tranquility of this place.

So cute and cozy!

This house was the perfect place to stay. San Diego was only a short way away and it was a great place to relax after a day in the busy nearby cities. We got to enjoy the sound of frogs at night qnd even got to see a coyote lounging on the mountain right outside. 10/10 wp I ls reccomend this place!The only thing was, there is no sauna qhich the listing included, bit the hot tub and fire pit qere perfect!

Cabin Stay

The log cabin was beautiful and very cozy. The detail of the craftsmanship was phenomenal. The creek and back yard was really peaceful and gorgeous, especially if you love the outdoors. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of space it made for a wonderful Easter weekend.

Awesome weekend getaway

My friends and I from Arizona wanted to go to San Diego for the weekend and we saw this beautiful place. It was everything it advertised and more. Such an amazing place to stay at and pretty close to the beach. The owner was very responsive and she gave thorough information. I would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Cabin just far enough away from the City.

Booked this cabin for 4 co workers attending a trade show at the Convention Center in downtown San Diego. Morning Traffic made the trip closer to 40 minutes to downtown in the mornings but the drive was scenic and beautiful so no complaints. Cabin was top notch!! The property and the winding drive into the Valley had amazing views. Place was clean, host was very responsive and I would definitely recommend for all families. If I had to recommend any improvements it would only be for TVs to be in all bedrooms but that would not be a reason why I wouldn’t go back. Thanks again for allowing us to stay at your beautiful place!!!

Cutest log cabin

We stayed here for the weekend with a group of nine people to celebrate a 40th birthday and just enjoy great food and scenery. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Easy to get to. Great communication with the house when I had questions. The cabin is very log cabin, mountains and bears, and I loved it.

A slice of log heaven

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our daughters and grandchildren at this fantastic cabin. It is enchanting with very unique log design elements and an expansive outdoor living area. We enjoyed the fireplace, the hot tub, the outdoor play area, the outdoor propane fire pit and the gazebo with TV. Driveway is steep and there are no obvious running paths in the neighborhood, but, those are the only downsides.
