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.

Perfect Getaway
This was the absolute best vacation home in which I have stayed, ever! It was immaculate, well stocked with anything you might need, beautifully decorated, and had an amazing view at all times of the day. Watching the wildlife outside that came and went was an experience in and of itself. We saw squirrels, rabbits,… lizards, tiny frogs, and so many different kinds of birds, including wild turkeys that visited us one evening while we were in the hot tub. The hot tub itself was fully functional and also immaculately clean and clear. This home is better than what it looks like in the photos. I HIGHLY recommend it if you are looking for a place to get away and relax. We have already booked another stay a few months from now. Read more “Perfect Getaway”
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!!!”
Peaceful trip under the stars
Our new favorite place to stay—exactly as described but BETTER. The house was very nicely appointed and completely stocked with just about everything you could want. We so enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area, it was just beautiful. Soaking in the hot tub under the stars will not be forgotten — in fact,… we already want to return after 1 day away. Go and enjoy, you will not be disappointed. Say hi to ‘Thumbs’ the cat for us! Read more “Peaceful trip under the stars”
Five Stars!
Exceptional & Outstanding!!! Our 14th stay at an AirBnB and this was the BEST! The indoor and outdoor space exceeded our expectations. It was the best, well equipped kitchen we’ve experienced. The proximity to incredible wineries is unmatched. This property is the definition of peace and relaxation…from the mattress to the hot tub and nature… and the quiet! Clean and immaculate! FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE!!! Read more “Five Stars!”
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!”
