4 nights at Luxury Tiny Home Nature Retreat
This place is honestly stunning. It’s beautiful, incredibly comfortable, and has everything you could ever need. Waking up to that morning view from the bed was absolutely magical — truly unforgettable. The whole space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully put together.
The host was incredibly caring and attentive, always making sure I was okay and had everything I needed. Her kindness and quick responses made the stay even better.
Five stars aren’t enough to describe how amazing this place is. This was the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in, and I’m definitely coming back.

It's a very quiet and peaceful spot. I'm a female that ended up in a situation where I have to car camp. I felt very safe here. I ended up coming quite late and the host still answered the phone to make sure I got where I needed to be. I will definitely be going back.

Jeannie is an awesome host! She cares about providing a great stay at her property. The area is quiet and not too far from the freeway (not too close either). It's also great for overnighters if you are working near the area.

The Little Red Barn is a cozy and comfortable glamping stay located conveniently near Valley Parkway in Escondido, close to shops, restaurants, and great hiking at Elfin Forest. It’s one of three glamping structures on the property. The high ceilings and additional loft mattress make the barn feel spacious, and we appreciated the little touches like electricity, a fan, and a heater for cooler nights. The shared bathroom area was clean, modern, and had reliable hot water — a big plus!
There’s plenty of shared outdoor space with picnic tables, lounge chairs, and seating areas, making it a great place to relax. We didn’t even need to use the heater during our mid-October stay — the weather was perfect.
This spot is a great introduction to camping for those who want the outdoor feel without being too far from the city. Our pup loved exploring the space (though the $50 pet fee is a bit on the higher side). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, laid-back glamping experience close to town!

The tent is really cute and welcoming. We had little trouble locating it at first due to GPS instruction. The tent has nice and comfortable blankets and bed / couch mattress are comfortable. Overall it is great stay. However. There is only one shared bathroom & shower for 3 units (which can total up to 10 people if fully occupied).. it will be nice to have an extra bathroom.

My daughter and I loved the tent! It was comfy and had plenty of room. There was a lot of outdoor space for hanging out and had a good view. It was nice and quiet at night. Restrooms and shower were very nice. Would love to go back and check out the cabins, they looked super cute as well!!

It is a pleasant, comfortable, and quiet place. The site is level and has a good gravel surface, and parking is easy. The water and electricity worked great, and the location is very nice.

It's a lovely spot, very convenient to all of north San Diego county. It's inland enough to be subject to warmer temps, but in early Summer, it is all June gloom and temps are lovely. But you'll be needing those hookups because solar will get you next to nothing when it is overcast until 3p every day.
I loved the neighborhood. Friendly folks stopped by to say hi when it was apparent I was going to be around for a bit. The neighbors across the street have a VERY active volleyball and basketball court that might qualify as noisy if it weren't exactly the kind of noise I find super pleasant to listen to - people having outdoor fun with their friends. And they were never late or early with it.
The hosts were super accommodating of my doing pretty significant work on my RV while I was there - I resealed my roof and then installed a whole bunch of solar - I asked first. They received deliveries. The made some scrap wood available to me. I worry I may have overstepped what they thought they were committing to, but I made sure to try to keep the site very presentable except when I was actively working on it every day, so I hope it wasn't unwelcome. Various neighbors tried to recruit me to fix their RVs on several occasions.
Turns out the nearest dump station is also really convenient. I didn't discover that until I had already made other plans, but the local Elks lodge is super convenient.

I'm conflicted about giving the review this spot deserves for fear of it becoming popular, because I'm quite certain I'll be back.
Vista is charming, the spot is lovely, and the hosts are responsive and pleasant. Very easy in and out with the largest of rigs, despite the driveway giving every appearance of being tight and getting tighter, it opens up around the first bend. It's not pull through, but it's as easy to back into as a space is likely to be. And they are long. Lots of room for your other vehicle if you have one, and your toy hauler patio door, too.
Water pressure isn't huge, but sufficient.
30A electrical. My 50A trailer popped the breaker when I plugged it in, and the breaker was not at the pole, so that took a moment to resolve, but no big deal. I just powered down one inverter and everything played nice after that. I'm wired to be able to run any circuit off of either inverter (or both) precisely to handle that problem.
I love the neighborhood. It's one of those places that (feels like it) was populated before the area was incorporated into a town and there were any rules. It feels like it is a real little community all sharing a driveway/road. People are outside - cooking, playing, hanging out. It's lovely.
In conclusion - don't come here. You'll hate it 😄😈

This was a very cute glamping spot. Easy to find and safely nestled on the property of the owner. You can tell the owner has put their heart and soul into decorating and furnishing the site. It is very “homey” and the bed was very comfortable and the yurt was extremely spacious. In fact, they had it set up like a little studio apartment!

This is one of those gem locations that's so good, you don't want to review about and give away. Amazing view atop a hill, with lots of privacy and quiet cozy vibes. The home had all the amenities you'd need for a cozy getaway for two.
