★Outdoor Soaking Tub★
Cleaner than a hot tub—every soak starts with a fresh, clean fill. You set the temp with hot & cold taps. Set perfectly for the views, enjoy a steamy, hot soak under the stars—or cool it down for a refreshing cold plunge (see our Cold Plunge pkg)
★Redwood Sauna★
Wood-fired, with a glass door framing the city lights view
★Outdoor Rain Shower★
Tucked beneath a beautiful California pepper tree, this private/fenced shower offers a refreshing open-air experience — with a peek at the city view for taller guests! (An indoor shower is also available inside the Airstream)
Upgrade your stay:
Zoo package + other extras—see “Packages We Offer"
All spaces are completely private and not shared with hosts or other guests. The Airstream sits about 100 feet off a golf cart road, and while you may occasionally see a guest pass by en route to a distant cabin, your privacy is a top priority. The outdoor shower, soaking tub, and sauna are tucked into the hillside for a peaceful, secluded experience
While the Airstream shares the same property as our home - it’s set down the hill from us, and our home is not viewable from the Airstream - offering a peaceful and private setting. Many guests have loved the expansive, 30-acre canyon views that surround it
Parking + Getting to the Airstream:
Only one parking space is available within the gated property (Parking instructions will be sent with check-in instructions)
The Airstream's amazing view is due to it being nestled into a canyon hillside, so the drive down to it does have a noticeable decline. This requires specific parking instructions based on what type of vehicle you have:
Standard 2WD vehicle: (without 4-wheel drive)
Please park in your assigned space at the top of the canyon and use our provided golf cart to reach the Airstream. Do not attempt to drive a 2WD down; if a vehicle gets stuck, towing/recovery is at the guest’s expense and not a great start to your vacation
About the golf cart:
Easy to operate (instructions provided), great for luggage, and handles the gravel road safely
4WD: (4 Wheel Drive)
You may drive down the gravel road and park beside the tiny home. You may also choose to park at the top and use the golf cart if you wish
Prefer to walk? That’s totally fine too—it’s just about a 1-minute walk down to the Airstream from the parking area
Privacy Assurance:
All areas described here are exclusively for your use, ensuring a private, unshared experience without other guests or hosts
Security cameras:
For check-in purposes only, security cameras are located at the driveway gate entrance to help ensure compliance with our house rules: a maximum of 2 adult guests, no visitors, and no animals. Please note that violations will result in a canceled reservation without a refund. There are absolutely no cameras inside the Airstream or in it's private outdoor areas

House Rules
(These rules are based on past experiences and ensure an enjoyable stay for all—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 Airstream. 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 put them away, and be sure 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
By booking this Airbnb, you are agreeing to the house rules. Violation of house rules will result in immediate cancellation of your reservation without a refund. We want to avoid this situation, and we’re sure you do as well. If you are unable to follow these rules, you should not book this Airbnb.
