About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet mountain getaway that is centerally located from coast to desert.

1100 sq ft, one bedroom guest house with an open floor plan that includes a large indoor, circular sunken fireplace and lots of privacy on three acres is located on a designated 'Native America Heritage Site'. This property has one of the largest Mortero collections in the county (where early Native Americans used the local rocks to grind their grains and medicines). Set among mature Live Oaks, Manzanita and various pine trees, this spacious and serene getaway will take your breath away! We are close enough to enjoy everything that San Diego has to offer but a world away from the traffic and congestion of the city.

There is just so much you can do year round - Mountain biking, hiking, fishing. Besides the beach and all the water activities, you can also venture into the desert on ATVs or Dune Buggies.

Live music at all levels from concerts to cafes, Balboa Park, fine arts,
fine dining and, of course, the San Diego Zoo, Safari Park and SeaWorld.

Norwegian Woods is also a prime location for artists to spend time writing and painting as the grounds are an inspiration for quiet creativity.

For the romantic, it's an opportunity to come together in a natural, peaceful setting. Isn’t it good…Norwegian Wood.

Suitability:
 Perfect location for small gatherings up to 50 persons
 Long-term Renters Welcome
 children welcome
 smoking allowed outside

This was a perfect weekend getaway in the woods surrounded by nature. It felt like a little "Norwegian" mountain paradise. The conversation pit was such a fun feature! We took advantage of the easy access to nature and truly enjoyed our stay.

Great property
Great location and absolutely beautiful property. A couple downsides to our stay was no breakfast like it states in description, no bathrobes or slippers like also stated in the description. If you are at all sensitive to any type of paranormal senses you will defenitly feel it here. Front of the house is nice and comfy stays warm and cozy no issues walk into the hallway where the bathroom, closet and bedroom are and you can feel it ( especially in the bedroom and closet ), needless to say we left an entire day early could not take the overwhelming feeling of not being wanted there and being watched. For the amount of money we paid for a 2 day vacation it kind of sucked losing out by leaving but better safe than sorry i guess. The owner stated she would have sage burned in the home to hopefully help with bad

Cozy perfect little get away spot
We came down for my brother’s Marine Corps Graduation in San Diego. It’s great being so close to San Diego but not having to stay on the city. Checkin was super easy and communication was great and made everything smooth and easy. Being able to unwind near the fireplace after a long day was amazing ! Coffee in the morning looking out the beautiful huge bay windows was the perfect way to start the day. Parking was super close to the front door which made loading and unloading super easy especially with a kiddo under 2 .

Wonderful & Quiet Escape
The photos in listing do not do this lovely cabin justice. It is a wonderful property. Cabin is roomy, has excellent amenities and was in a great location to explore the surrounding areas. The yard is expansive and beautiful with lots of nooks to relax in. Cabin is located very near to the main home of the property owners, but still feels very private.

Beautiful property! Big picture windows and sliding glass doors to back yard with green grass, trees, and flowers. The rabbits were sometimes nibbling on the grass. Big room with living area and kitchen and bed. One bedroom with picture windows too. Everything was clean and comfortable. The bed had soft foam on the mattress that was very comfortable. The A/C worked great and I was happy the hostess had it on and cooled down when I arrived. I would recommend this property!

Cute property in Pine Valley
We found everything in working order and additonal supplies of milk, yogurt and fruit. intersting house with a large rock inside and an enormous sunken fireplace. will be nice in winter. Very quiet and no sounds of the city. Just what was needed for a recharge. very warm to hike but would come back in spring or fall to take advantage of surrounding trails.

Mountain getaway
Idealic for a weekend or a week. This is our second stay after a weekend in November. We wanted more time and stayed a week. Hosts leave lots of goodies to start your stay for breakfast and a few snacks and drinks. Very thoughtful selection. We felt right at home and cooked as well as ordered local takeout. It is quiet and beautiful and very relaxing. Ours was a workation, and it was a perfect blend with hiking trails 5-15 minutes away. We even were able to see family for an outdoor visit around the firepit. Delightful anytime and really welcome under COVID-19 conditions.

The property is perfect, the fireplace in the cabin is one of the most amazing features I've ever seen. I just wish we had been able to visit in the winter when we could have taken full advantage of it as it was a bit warm when we came. I would highly recomend this property to friends.

Better than expected. Online pix can’t do it justice
When we arrived we were greeted by the owner, Odd. Very friendly. Once inside there was fresh fruit and bagels. The fridge is stocked for a lite breakfast. Sliding doors across the wall lead outside to beautiful grounds. We brought our 3 tiny dogs and they loved it. We were hoping for a white Christmas, but it didn’t come Til December 26. It turned the beautiful grounds to an enchanted wonderland. The ONLY (and big) negative was that the fireplace was out the of order. We wouldn’t have canceled but would have appreciated a heads up...we’ll definitely come back!
