No neighbors, just peace and quiet. Roast marshmallows around the fire pit, enjoy your meals outside at the large iron table and comfy chairs. Depending on the time of year you might wake up to deer staring in the window. We are sure you will find your stay delightful.
Hi, I am Lara and have lived and worked in Ramona for nearly thirty years. We turned our little dream home into a vacation retreat in June of 2019.
What we love most about our place is the abundant wildlife that resides on the property. That, along with the breathtaking views, its almost too good to be true. It gives us great joy to share this experience with others.

Idillic Mountain Retreat
A true escape from the city, this lake house is the best VRBO we have rented. This beautiful property, very clean and well equipped, exceeded our expectations. From the hot tub sunsets to the zipline and the endlessly entertaining birds and other wildlife, this property made for a wonderful unplugged weekend.
Simply AMAZING!!
The home and property are simply spectacular! The pictures really don’t do it justice as there is so much beauty to behold! A true feast for your senses if you love and adore nature as we do. The property was teaming with wildlife. Butterflies birds and we even saw deer this morning.! Would highly recommend… it to anyone looking for peace and serenity. The home was Also immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Two thumbs way up!! Read more “Simply AMAZING!!”
Nothng short of amazing!!!
Lara’s beautiful small ranch home is absolutely gorgeous! We’ve stayed in a number of rentals, but few compare to the attention to detail and overall greatness of this retreat. It sits high up on a hill and has been constructed so that you are surrounded by gorgeous views on three sides as far as the… eye can see. One can sit in the sparking clean hot tub and enjoy the views of the hills and lake after rinsing off in the glorious outdoor shower. The interior of the home is very well appointed- the beds were very comfortable with high quality linens, the towels soft, everyhting was clean and ready for use. The gourmet kitchen has everything needed to make amazing meals- which we took full advantage of as we were “self quarantining” there during the CVOID-19 outbreak. It’s a fantastic place to spend a few nights. We can’t recommend it enough!! Lara’s place will remain on the top of our “go to” list. Thanks Lara!! Read more “Nothng short of amazing!!!”
Wish we had longer
My wife and I could not stop talking about how perfect this house is. It feels like we jumped into a pinterest ad for beautifully done and decorated kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces. It smells clean and fresh and a little like crate & barrel. We can’t get over the gorgeous views and landscaping.… This was a quick weekend trip and we SO wish we had a least a few more days.

5 stars are not enough
This property and its owners are amazing in every way. I will be gushing about this property for a long time…and I will be returning. Lara and this amazing property have set new standards for me!
We didn’t want to leave!
What a magical place! Pictures just cannot do it justice due to the panoramic views that are hard to capture. I always lower my expectations before arriving somewhere so I’m not disappointed, but there was no need here! Absolutely above and beyond what I wanted! The views are breathtaking! The variety and number of birds,… including Orioles and hummingbirds is so entertaining. We also spotted lots of bunnies and one deer! The fire pit made the nighttime feel special and so did the hot tub. The house itself was perfect too! So clean!! The kitchen was so much fun for us LA apartment dwellers to be able to cook in! We also utilized the grill…yum!!! The double shower heads in the bathroom! Where have you been all my life? The shower outside…also awesome!! At night, once our necks were sore from staring up at the Milky Way and trying to remember the constellations, we would retire to the “movie” room and enjoy the reclining couch and huge screen with surround sound! If this ever goes on the market, I want it!!!! Thank you sooooooo much for providing exactly what our souls needed. I will definitely return!!! Read more “We didn’t want to leave!”
