House Rules
(These rules are based on past experiences and ensure an enjoyable stay for all—current guests, future guests, and your hosts)

Pets Not Permitted — No Exceptions
Pets are not allowed for safety and property reasons:
*Coyotes are active in the area, posing a significant danger to pets. They’ve been known to take animals—even when owners are nearby. Your unit is unfenced, and coyote sightings are common on the property
*We also maintain a small hobby farm, and care deeply for our animals. Unfamiliar animals can cause serious stress to our livestock, as they instinctively perceive them as predators. They deserve a calm, safe environment free from that fear

Two Adult Guests Max -No Visitors, No Children
This listing accommodates two adult guests, arriving in a single vehicle. Additional guests or visitors are not permitted and will be considered trespassing. Arriving with, accommodating or allowing more than the original two guests who checked-in will result in a cancelled reservation without a refund. Due to natural hazards on the property, this space is not appropriate for children

One Vehicle Per Stay
The property accommodates only one vehicle. Additional vehicles are not permitted

Candle, Glitter & Confetti-Free Property
For your safety and ours, candles are not permitted indoors or outdoors. Glitter, confetti, or similar decorations are not permitted inside or outside the rental. These materials are harmful to wildlife, create pollution, and are very difficult to clean

Smoke-Free Indoors
Smoking or vaping is not allowed inside the cottage. Absolutely no drugs or substances prohibited by law are allowed

Quiet Hours are from 10PM – 8AM

Cleanliness & Respect for the Space
Wash any used dishes and place them in the dish drainer, and ensure no trash is left outside or on the patio

Fireworks are prohibited
This includes sparklers and poppers. Fireworks on residential properties are illegal in San Diego County and pose a serious wildfire risk

Neighborhood highlights

Peaceful surroundings, beautiful sunsets, wildlife such as neighborhood peacocks, hawks, owls, roadrunners, coyotes, rabbits, and quail can be seen on the property. Acres of open canyon tranquility with an amazing city lights view.

While it is acres of open canyon, we do still have neighbors and we also live in the main house and ask that you respect everyone's rights to a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

If you like to hike, we have a hiking trail close to our property. It is called the Dictionary HIll Hiking Trail and takes you to an amazing 360 degree overlook of San Diego, the San Miguel Mountains, Sweetwater Lake and East County San Diego. Really an incredible spot to see fireworks too, if here on a holiday weekend. From our driveway, the hike is 20 min up the mountain & back down, so 40 min roundtrip, it can be rocky, so bring good hiking shoes - totally worth it to see the views!
