♢ Howdy and thanks for checking out our page! The wise Einstein said “look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” We agree. Looking deep into nature, we've come to understand and appreciate the feeling and meaning of home.
♢ We both got caught up in life’s inevitable grind and have lived & worked throughout most of San Diego county - the coast, downtown, central hub, urban districts, South Bay - and we've experienced what they've had to offer. We then ventured out to the majestic countryside in Ramona and it's here we found San Diego's hidden gem. We've felt no greater happiness than here, so if home is where the heart is, THIS is home. We've been captivated by the beautiful landscapes and fell in love with the peace & quiet that comes with nature as your neighbor and we're excited to share that with you!
♢ Our corner of the world is where the harmonious blend of modern comforts and convenience, interlaced with old world culture, intersect with the sights & sounds of Mother Nature. We’re close enough to wineries, coffee shops, and grocery stores, yet far enough to see wild turkeys roaming, bunnies scurrying, and hear birds chirping and coyotes howling. This blends the very best of both worlds, where you appreciate the majestic landscape and organic calm the country brings, while still within reach of all that San Diego offers. Don’t be surprised if time spent in the country -- away from the crowds, congestion, noise, stimulation -- is what your body and mind crave -- the much needed time, space, and privacy to decompress, reset, and reconnect.
♢ Exploration awaits nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts! Our backyard faces an amazing natural preserve, where a leisurely walk across our half acre yard will lead you to the 1,574 acre Mt. Gower Preserve; here you can experience San Diego’s backcountry as it was centuries ago. Immerse yourself in the beautiful views at Mt. Gower & in Ramona's numerous trails, including Cedar Creek Falls, 3 Sisters Waterfall, Mt. Woodson/Potato Chip Rock, Iron Mountain & more.
♢ Wine lovers? Us too! :) With over 30 wineries, you'll have plenty of vino to appreciate in our ever-growing wine region. Within a 5 min drive you can sit back and savor delicious local wine in the heart of San Diego County among numerous family-owned wineries & vineyards, with La Finquita, Turtle Rock Ridge, and Vineyard Grant James being the closest, and so many others located within a 5-10 mile radius. Nearby you’ll also find a camel dairy farm, local shops and artisans, craft brewery, restaurants, antique shops, coffee shops, farm stands, and more. After returning from your adventures, head out at night to our backyard for stargazing - on a clear evening, the view of the stars are mesmerizing!
♢ The Starlit Hidden Gem's nearly 2,200 sq ft two-story open floor plan comfortably sleeps up to 8 in 3 bedrooms & 2.5 bathrooms and has plenty of comfortable space indoors & out for lounging & gathering with family & friends for meals, drinks, and games. Enjoy the comforts of home w/ AC & heating, free wifi, stocked kitchen, 3 couches, 3 smart TVs, washer & dryer, private driveway, spacious backyard & more.
♢The entire upper level features an oversized master suite, spacious king bed, queen size convertible sofa bed, dining table for 4, generously sized walk-in closet, own private bathroom w/ bathtub & separate shower, and balcony. Downstairs you'll find another bathroom along with 2 bedrooms, each with its own queen bed, plus an additional 1/2 bathroom in the garage.

♢One of the wonderful benefits of living alongside Mother Nature is getting to see and hear the surrounding birds, coyotes, bobcats, wild turkeys, rabbits, mule deer & more, along with immersing yourself in the beautiful mountain backdrop with its gorgeous sunrises & sunsets. What a treat! Also, when we moved into our home, we added a layer of protection and installed a snake fence around and partially underneath our entire yard; in over 5 wonderful years here, we haven't had any rattlesnakes on our property. Woohoo!

Felt welcome for our short stay
The back yard was better than the listing photos suggest, great views of hills and wonderful sounds of nature. Lots of room for our family visit to Ramona.

Fun Long Weekend
Very spacious and clean. Comfortable for us and our adult children with their significant others. We arrived in a heat wave, but still enjoyed tennis & of course the pool. You have to make reservations for tennis, FYI.

Lovely house
Anya was an extremely thoughtful and responsive host. The house is nice and roomy with a fabulous backyard which was just perfect for our 3 dogs. Not many places will let you bring 3 dogs so this was very appreciated. The kitchen was great so we mostly cooked or grilled, with some takeout thrown in there. We golfed at San Vicente which was also nice. Still pretty warm in August so unfortunately the Mt Gower Preserve was closed but I imagine it’s lovely in other months. A lot of people don’t follow the 25 mph limit so you just need to be aware when walking about solo or with dogs. Wineries are also fun - we liked La Finquita the best. Dogs very welcome.

Best Family Getaway I've Had
The property was absolutely beautiful. It far surpassed my expectations. The house was in a lovely and peaceful neighborhood that was an amazing break from the city. The incredibly large and well-furnished backyard was the perfect place to gaze at the stars you never see in the city. (The backyard was our dogs' favorite part.) And the master bedroom was a masterpiece.
The host is incredibly friendly and generous! She was extremely accommodating and checked-in leading up to, and throughout, the trip! My family and pets were so comfortable we didn't end up going on on planned outings. However, there was no shortage of places to visit in the surrounding area.
The host provided ample supplies, like a kennel, to keep up with the dogs if we left. She also provided us with an abundance of options for entertainment, as well as plenty of pet toys.
In all, it was an amazing experience. I would undoubtedly recommend and rebook this property!

Lovely home with awesome owner
Our group of 6 had a great time spending together in this spacious and very clean home. Anya, one of the owners is very thoughtful in preparing for our stay and during our stay she is even more helpful in making sure that we are comfortable and entertained with the country club close by. We will definitely stay at this lovely home again.

Beautiful home!
Everything and so much more! My six year old did not want to leave 😊. Anya and Andy were amazing, they answered all my questions and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend. We were celebrating my birthday and Anya even left a card with a sweat gift! The small little touches made our weekend. We definitely would love to go back sometime.

Great home, Great Host
We enjoyed our stay in Ramona. This home is spotless and so beautiful. The owners add special touches of TLC. We enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen. The open concept allowed us to visit with family while cooking delicious meals. Each bedroom is equipped with comfy beds and high end lixury linens. We gathered around the firepit each night sharing stories, looking up at the many stars while enjoying the beautiful sounds of nature. Thank you Anya & Andy for your Southern California Hospitality. We had a wonderful time.

Home sweet home
The home was just wonderful. The owners made sure their guests wanted for nothing, it was stocked with everything we needed to cook family meals, in addition to the many quality amenities provided throughout the home. We truly felt right at home. They even provided dog bags for our pups, who loved playing catch in the yard.

Beautiful and cozy getaway!
Our group of 8 (we've been best friends for 20+ years!) really wanted to escape the city life and have a safe, cozy weekend. This home was it. From the second we arrived, the hosts greeted us and showed us around. We felt very welcome to settle in for the weekend and use all the property had to offer. Fireplace, spacious kitchen, comfortable rooms, the patio, outdoor fire pit and more. There was PLENTY of room and space for us all. And even though we didn't bring kids with us, it seemed to be kid friendly with fun rooms, lots of game and lots of outdoor space to run and play in. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Amazing host
My wife, 11 month old son and I spent 3 nights at this well decorated and comfortable house in Ramona. The house is a little bit far from civilization but if you want to be in the mountains, it is perfect. Anya is an incredible host. I had stayed at VRBO and Airbnb houses before an no host had ever met us there to help with check in. Anya did that and so much more!

Fabulous hosts, beautiful home, relaxing weekend
Anya and Andy welcomed us with open arms into their beautiful home. Every detail was attended to. They even ran out and got us Firestarters for the wood burning fireplace when we mentioned we would like to use it and came back with a bottle of wine when they found out it was my boyfriend's birthday. Anya went out of her way to provide local recommendations and even asked whether Christmas decorations would be appreciated or not, which was so thoughtful and sensitive. The back yard is huge and has a beautiful view of the hills, and the stars, of course. The home itself would be perfect for a family with older kids or several couples as there's a king suite upstairs and two queen guest rooms downstairs with a shared bathroom. The kitchen is huge and perfect for cooking with everything you could possibly need. And also beautiful touches like rock salt and a grinder. The fridge was thoughtfully stocked with sparkling water. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for more and had a wonderful time antiquing, bird watching, going for walks, wine tasting, and relaxing by the fire. Thank you Anya and Andy for a wonderful weekend!
