Elfin Forest Delight

It was such a comfortable cabin and the owners are really nice accommodating people. Close enough to town but fun to hang out at property. The grounds were fun to walk around on and perfect for our dog. The animals are adorable and friendly. We will be going back. It was right up our alley!

Truly wonderful

I was absolutely satisfied with the excellent environment and the property owner. I wished I could have stayed longer, but unfortunately, the place was already booked. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Elfin Forest

What a gorgeous property. My two dogs and I were so comfortable in the cottage. And just outside the gate were wonderful horse trails and reserves and town center to explore.

Awesome casita

Willam and Holly are gracious hosts. Their casita was very comfortable and clean it has everything you could need. Perfect for 2 people. For our visit the location was perfect. Close to major shopping areas and entertainment. Loved their animals especially Snoop Dog❤️if we are ever in that area again we will definitely be staying there again. Nancy and Pete

Beautiful Casitas

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the casitas! It was a very comfortable space with fine attention to details. Beautiful woodwork in the kitchen, which was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. For coffee lovers, they had a kurig, coffee pot & French press with an electric kettle. Property grounds were beautiful and the property was very secure. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Responsive hosts, nice property

We had a lovely stay. It's a but of a haul, but we wanted privacy, so that was expected. Owner's home is right next door, we had hoped there would be more distance as our dogs bark, and we did not want to disturb anyone. Very responsive hosts. Nice property.

Elfin Casita Comfort

This property is ideally located if your goal is to enjoy SoCal while enjoying a truly quiet, comfortable, relaxing place to rest away from the hustle of city “busy”. March is a lovely month to visit - cool temps, spring blooms, and green beauty! Thanks to the homeowners for a great place to rest & recharge !

Beautiful Retreat in the Elfin Forest

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property. It is a two acre gated estate that we were allowed to explore during our stay. It is very private and quiet. It is beautiful and comfortable. The owners are on site and very welcoming. We could not have asked for more in a short term rental property and will visit there again if we get the chance.

Definetely nice to have your own little cottage with cooking and clothes washer. Beautiful remote location close to everything. Cottage is well kept and made well. Owners are friendly, and will engage with you if you have questions, but otherwise leave you alone to enjoy the place.

Very nice

Our stay was great. Our cottage had everything you could possibly want, including one adorable beagle (snoop). It was exactly as pictured The place was very quiet and just across the street was a walking trail that ran for miles into the hills. Bill and Holly were perfect hosts. A pretty little town was just 2 miles away with everything you need. Carlsbad was a 20 min. drive where you can catch the train to San Diego.

As advertised and very cozy

Spent 10 days here with my dog and my wife. We had a very pleasant experience with both William and Holly our hosts. Kitchen bath and bedroom all well stocked. If you enjoy dark skies and quiet, this is the place for you. Grocery store and a few restaurants very close by. Plenty of other restaurants nearby deliver via GrubHub. We will be back to enjoy this location again.

Very peaceful and great property!

I read this to stay near San Diego for a funeral. this property really fit the bill ass. It allowed me some peace and quiet away from the bustle of the city. The guest house that you rent is very nicely furnished and has plenty of amenities. you can get some local food about 3 miles away. The owners respect my privacy, but were there if I needed them.

Perfect Country Cottage

Peaceful and extremely quiet. I could spend months there. My dog had free run of a fully fenced acreage and friendly dogs to run with. The cottage had every high end appliance you might want, including a washer/dryer combo. I would have liked to stay longer, but was needed at home. The hosts are available for any questions.

The little guest house is spacious, with plenty of storage for clothing so you can unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. The kitchen has everything, including a Keurig. The bed and couch are very comfortable, and there is nearly instant hot water! Many windows give a lot of natural light, but foliage around the house provide privacy. There are horses, cats, dogs, a ram - very "country" - but 4 minutes down the road are Starbucks, a grocery store, etc. The hosts are wonderful - right there on site, and only a text away if you have any questions. It's a gem of a place. PS At night, you hear coyotes and owls - so special!

Rural Peacefulness

Property is located on a small ranch just outside more populated areas. Very quiet, owners live next door but rarely seen. Slight problem with the dishwasher was fixed immediately.

Quiet Sanctuary

This place is gorgeous! Plenty of light, able to open windows for fresh air. About 15 minutes from Carlsbad and Vista. Elfin Forest has a beautiful community to walk around. Explored the animals on the property. Loved hearing the water fountain and frogs at night. Fast communication. Will definitely come back again when I visit San Diego- about 45 min, so worth it!

Forest Hideaway

We enjoyed our stay with William at their place in Elfin Forest. William was accommodating with our later check in time which was appreciated. The guesthouse was very spacious and well stocked. It was easy to find, though it does takes a few winding roads to get there. Glad we could bring our dogs and had a safe place to park. We did find that the wifi didn’t work the greatest (though no issue getting full cell service) and the tv had recordings scheduled that would interrupt what we had on. The bed creaked a lot, but was very soft. Nice bathroom and again, truly enjoyed all the space inside.

Wonderful property in country setting

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Casita. Spent 5 days 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay - Property is on a small ranch that houses a number of rescue animals (Dogs, Horses, Ram, Cats) - highly recommend reaching out the owners for a tour. Well worth the hour we spent - great way to meet the animals and see their dream coming to life. Beautiful unit - well decorated, full kitchen with sufficient supplies to eat in (we cooked most meals), comfy bed (Queen memory foam), great walk-in closet, window AC in living room for the summers (we had cold temps so we used the gas stove which worked very well). It get's very dark and quiet which made for some very comfortable evenings. Owners were there if we needed anything but otherwise left us alone. There may be some activity on the property as they are doing some remodeling but didn't impact us at all. Property is 10 minutes from San Elijo with restaurants and grocery stores. Elfen Park has some great hiking. Highly recommend this property and would definitely return
