Come experience the best that the San Diego backcountry has to offer on our 85 acre private nature retreat with it's miles of trails which take you thru groves of ancient Oaks, a monumental boulders maze, intoxicating sage, the most incredible sunset vistas and located just a couple miles from the North Mountain Wine Trail. the Pacific Crest Trail and the California Hiking and Riding Trail. The BLUEBIRD TINY HOUSE is one of 4 very private unique artisanal accommodations on the property. This vintage horse trailer was reimagined into a Tiny house by Lane and Laurie as a couples project in 2018 which they completely gutted and remodeled using beautiful natural materials , old fashioned wood cabinetry, handmade ceramic tiles and woven bamboo with fully equipped kitchen, quality linens, fireplace, AC, WIFI, smart TV. Bluebird Tiny House is tucked into a secluded forest meadow, named for the bluebirds that spend part of the year there and is a spacious feeling 320 sq ft. The spa-inspired bathroom features a hand-carved, wood vessel sink, eco-dual flush toilet,rain shower, and free-standing soaking tub with oak canopy view. The 40’ long deck spans the length of the secluded tiny house overlooking the forest to distant mountains and has alfresco dining area and plenty of furniture for cozying as well as hot tub sited for star gazing and firepit seating all within a large fenced yard to keep your fur babies close by. In addition, we have developed 2 forest therapy trails that will bring your ability to slow down and connect to nature to a whole new level and encourage you to try it using our MP3 forest therapy audio guide.. If you need to accommodate a larger group, check out Pinky's Nature Hideout which has a full kitchen, spacious living room, fenced yard for pets, corn hole, large deck and hot tub sited for star gazing, and firepit seating which overlooks the forest to distant mountains. It sleeps 4 people but the "Lounge" vintage Spartan trailer which is located behind the bunkhouse can be rented to sleep an additional 2 people and is only available to Pinky's guests. We provide guests the opportunity to really get away from it all in a untouched forest and chaparral setting with all the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay.

Off Grid Sage Sanctuary
Peaceful and fun getaway
Beautiful spot in the desert but with plenty of activities on the property. I loved hiking on the well marked trails with my dog and doing yoga at the yurt. The hosts were lovely, everything was extremely clean and well kept and I felt very safe being there alone.

Pinky's Nature Hideout
Special place
Host was the best! She was attentive via text but we never saw her otherwise. Left fresh baked cookies for us upon arrival. She even picked up unexpected items we needed for our daughter when she was out so we didn’t have to leave the grounds. :-)

Another wonderful stay
Fabulous stay once again! Even better this year as we did our family photo shoot with Jackie, who was so accommodating and simply lovely. We’ll definitely keep coming back.

Blissful stay at Pinky’s
What a hidden gem! It was a treat to stay at Pinky’s and enjoy a little back country quiet. The trails are beautiful, sundown is amazing. We feel relaxed and refreshed from visiting. Ahhh!
