Fantastic views

This was a perfect weekend stay for us who live in Ramona and didn't want to drive for hours. It was quiet, private, comfortable and our favorite thing was the deck and views of the lake, sunrise and sunset. The bed and pillows were very comfortable so much that I ordered the same pillows on Amazon. Great for side sleepers. No hair dryer so bring your own. We will be back for sure!!!

Amazing Stay!!!

Loved the view from the porch and everything was within driving distance. Our favorite part about the stay was the wood burn fireplace. Only recommendations would be have lights for the driveway at night since by 4pm it is pitch black and possible hand rails since the rock steps can be steap.

Short stay in the mountains

Had a great three days at Cuyamaca state park. Cabin is comfortable, well equipped and has a beautiful view of the lake. Stayed with a 6 month old baby. We were all very comfortable in the cabin. Great drives and hikes in the area. Julian is close by and worth a visit.

Fishing Trip

Everything was clean. It was pretty much as advertised. We had some hot weather, so we were appreciative of the AC. Herve is friendly, we're glad we had a chance to meet him in person. The view from the porch is fantastic. The property is within 5 minutes of Lake Cuyamaca, which is why we selected it.

Beautiful view!

This was our very first time renting a home, it was so easy and Mr. Herve was very nice and communicative! He even made the sweetest touch of having a Christmas tree as we were staying in the property over Christmas. The view was beyond spectacular, the lake and animals! The property was clean just outdated. Just beware that if one of the rolling blinds sticks, do not try to shimmy them, they will rip!

Nice and cozy cabin with an amazing view.

We had a great time staying here, we loved that it was really close to lake cuyamaca and you had an amazing view of the valley. It was a cozy place to sit and relax and just enjoy nature. If you stay here you will definitely enjoy the fact the deer pass infront of the balcony on the regular.
