The property is totally unique for the area...like a scene from Jurassic Park or the Jungle Cruise at Disney. Nothing like it in the low mountains."

"Other than the floor being quite dirty upon arrival (feet turned black from walking around barefoot) the stay was excellent. Loved the roll-up garage door front, watched the sunset against the new condos across the street. The church across the street was nice to look out at too. Some road construction nearby caused some congestion but never had a problem finding street parking right out in front. 10/10 would stay here again and looking forward to the next time I head to SD and it’s available."
