Lake House - Novel Attractions Close / Safari Park Zoo/ Legoland / Sea World

San Diego's secret lake house in the "Valley of The Gods", secluded, quiet, great amenities, close to all shopping, attractions and the lake is at the end of our street( two minutes). One of a kind area in San Diego Co. Safari Park 15min, Beach 20min, Mountains 90min, Mexico 45min, Disneyland 60 -75min., Thoroughbreds at Del Mar 15-20min Most centralized location in San Diego County.

Imagine awakening to the warming sun arising between the distant mountains crests over the lake and a calming fog lightly decapitates......steaming coffee on the kitchen deck, later arriving at the right time a picturesque moon slowly arrives to your comfort and end your days adventure, it's simply amazing especially when the moon is full......so big..... feels like you can jump on and take a ride!

The lake is amazing has rentals for boating , fishing, kayaks,. Miles of hiking/biking trails....Coast to Crest trail runs directly through the area. The lake house is a great area to relax and get away from the hustle and chaos. Also see our complimentary "Beautiful Lake View Home" vrbo - listing #357-8810. Check with the dpt of boating and waterways for hours and days of water sports and approved sports as they may vary.
Best of San Diego " Free Things"- During the kids free month of October children 11 or younger receive free admission at Zoo/Safari Park, Birch Aquarium Scripps and many museums (san diego.org/promotions/kids-free)..... during February seniors 65+ get the same Zoo/Safari deal (visit - SDZ/SafariPark.org). Over 20 San Diego museums are free. IPA-Observed on the first Thursday each August, National IPA Day is a hoppy hootenanny and there are many awesome local breweries in our town. SD offers so much.

We apologize for the incorrect google map sponsored location at Elfin Forrest, our house actually sits just 100yd off Lake Hodges water edge.......an awesome area and location , thus........"Awesome Lake House at Lake Hodges in Del Dios"

Relaxing getaway

Had another great visit. This is our second time, we love the unplugged feeling of this lovely cottage. The yard is a wonderful relaxing place to enjoy the birds and read a good book. Lots of great hiking trails nearby. We had a little glitch and Paul was right on it and fixed the issue. Thanks, we hope to be back!

Peaceful yard with calming water features. Artistically designed & well maintained yard & 2 decks!

Very convenient location to everything, yet in country setting. The home has a retro feel with all modern features. Wonderful tile & wood floors. Walk to the lake! Many walking paths. Great Mexican historical restaurant with original atmosphere, 2 minute walk from house!

Just like home

This casita makes you feel at home. The windows look out onto the expansive professionally landscaped gardens with water features, painting projects, tables & chairs with umbrellas, 2 decks, a balcony, & it’s fully fenced in for pets. My dog knows when we’re driving in the driveway & she is perfectly comfortable staying out in the yard & pretending it’s all hers to protect. The open concept living area has a retro decor which is pleasing. Beautiful Terracotta tiles in kitchen & dining area. Beautiful wood floors in hall & bedrooms. The bathroom has hand designed mosaic patterns throughout & is unique & colorful. You can walk to Hernandez Hideaway Mexican restaurant in one minute & feel it’s originality. Paths go to the lake front & fishermen are enjoying the tranquility. You won’t regret staying here. It has all you could possibly need.
