Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Our home is eclectic, country, relaxed and homey. We are conveniently located just 30 minutes from downtown San Diego and popular tourist attractions like Comic-Con, Balboa Park, the beautiful beaches and the world famous San Diego Zoo. 35 minutes east you will find beautiful Mount Laguna, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, Pacific Crest Trail access and the town of Julian. About an hour east brings you to the desert, where natural beauty and recreation abound. 13 miles away, Viejas Casino boasts a beautiful outlet center. 4 miles away, Sycuan has a casino with entertainment and the golf resort of Singing Hills. Come enjoy the slower pace of the San Diego backcountry. If you are in the mood for a massage, Barbara is a therapist with amazing healing hands. (Please arrange in advance of your visit to ensure availability.) If you are a hiker and need a guide, Randy is an experienced Pacific Crest Trail hiker, who will be happy to assist with drop-off and pick-up in the local mountains, or whatever your hiking/backpacking needs are. Bikers of all kinds, frequently go by on Harbison Canyon Road, which is part of a larger biking loop. So, hike, bike or drive yourself to our little haven and say goodbye to the hustle and bustle! We enjoy talking to our guests, finding out about where they live and providing information on the local area. We do work during the week, but are usually around on the weekends.

Unique get away for kids
I needed a place to stay with my sons for a last minute trip and I wanted to take them somewhere unique. They loved the TeePee and asked if we can come back again to stay for longer. The host, Barbara, had muffins and oatmeal set out in the morning for us. We had to leave early in the morning to beat holiday traffic but we will definitely look into this spot again next time we travel around San Diego.

I loved the tent camping! The directions and communication from host were great! The views of the mountains around were awesome and just far enough outside the city that the travel back forth was easy :) highly recommend

Love the Tepee!
Barbara and Randy were friendly and answered all are questions promptly. The tepee was clean, cozy and comfortable along with the outdoor kitchen was functional (but could use some specific cooking utensils like a spatula). The pathways are a little uneven so be careful walking at night. The fresh eggs, fruits and muffins in the morning were a bonus!
