About this property

San Diego Country Barndominium, Mountain Views, Spa, Deck, & More.

GET AWAY from the hustle & bustle of everyday life and spend quality time together in our Country Barndominium located in Valley Center, California in San Diego County. We are nestled among the lush citrus. avocado groves, vineyards and horse ranches. You will often hear the sounds of Hawks and Eagles soaring through the blue skies from the PRIVATE DECK of this beautiful & spacious PRIVATE 1 BR - 1BA, full kitchen with a fabulous 180 degree mountain & sunset views. We are out here on almost 3 Acres so our neighbor properties are all spaced well. This Spacious & private Barndominium is .located out in the country down a country road. where there is no light pollution and we look at Mt. Palomar where the world famous Palomar Observatory is located. Downstairs, there is a private patio area with a BBQ, Spa, Seating with a grassy area to play games with a table to enjoy BBQing and eating food outdoors. . We offer a full kitchen with everything you would need including 3 coffee makers. During the spring we offer to fruit lovers, Tangelos, Tangerines right off our trees. We respect guests privacy but we are on the property (NOT in the rental area) if you need us, we are a text away.

ACTIVITIES / ATTRACTIONS / THINGS TO DO - CLOSE TO SOOOO MUCH! yet out and away.!! Only 10 Min. to easy freeway accessibility leading you to San Diego Zoo and Safari, Sea World, Legoland, museums, Down town San Diego Area, The Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, beaches galore, golf courses galore, Palomar Observatory, The Wine Tasting Safari, Wine Country Trails by Horseback - http://www.winecountrytrailsbyhorseback.com/ and balloon rides and more. These destinations range approx. 30 Min. to 1 hr. in trip time. There is so much more to see & do. Please see my REVIEW GUIDE to find more Local Attractions (mostly within the 15 - 30 Min. time frame.) Also see the other attractions that are about 1 hr - 2 hrs. away such as Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm.

WEATHER is fabulous, mostly in the 70's even in the winter. In the summer we have warmer temperatures 80's, 90's sometimes over 95 degrees and because we are 1,300 ft. above sea level we have a cool ocean breeze most of the time. Being less than 35 min. from Southern California beaches gives us the best of both climates because we are far enough from the ocean to escape most of the fog, clouds, and crowds yet close enough to enjoy the cool breezes in the heat of summer. We rarely go over 100 degrees and have air conditioning if we do get in the higher temps.

PRIVATE DECK with a great 180 degree mountain / sunset and grove views. Sit out and relax on cushy deck furniture watch the hawks and take in the peace and tranquility surrounding you.

KITCHEN comes fully equipped with all stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops in addition to the smaller appliances ie: blender, 3 different coffee machines: a Cuisinart full pot coffee maker and bean grinder, a Keuirig 1 -cup coffee maker including K-cups, a Nespresso machine so bring your own favorite pods, hand mixer, etc. There is a LG oven/Cooktop and microwave, and a GE dishwasher together with a purified R.O. water system. The kitchen is stocked with some spices and basic condiments.

Lovely rural retreat
We felt so at home in this spacious private apartment. The facilities are great - fantastic cooking area, loads of hot water for the powerful shower, and the most comfortably bed ever! Linda and Larry are so helpful, and couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect.

Amazing!
This property was in an absolutely idyllic setting. The air literally smelled like fruit and flowers. I had never been to this area of California and was blown away by its beauty. The place itself was clean and comfortable and perfect for my daughter and I for our weekend trip. The host, Linda, was above-and-beyond in terms of being helpful and warm and kind. I would 110% stay here again.

Lovely home/getaway
The property is really beautiful and so is the location, it can just be a little hard to find. Definitely recommend going to check in during the day. Linda and Larry were both great and welcoming. We were in communication from before the trip, to the time we left. It was nice so there was no confusion from either party.

About the host

Hosted by Larry & Linda Maiolo

Host profile image
My husband Larry and I and my son started our lives out in a suburban area in Orange County, CA and then moved to another Suburban area in the San Diego area. After about 14 years of Suburban living, my son was young and I had a growing concern about raising my son in the Suburban jungle and was craving something different. We had become apart of a "Married For Life" group that met in Fallbrook, CA which was a beautiful area with a small town atmosphere. We decided to sell our current home and began looking in the Fallbrook area. We put in an offer on a house and it didn't work out so we continued to look. We sold our house and began to rent while we were looking. Not too far from Fallbrook, we found Valley Center and made an offer on another house but it didn't work out. We loved Valley Center and started attending this little country church with a dear Pastor by the name of , Dwayne Carter, a dear man, who unbeknown to us, turned out to be an Award Winning Architect . He knew we were sort of homeless ( living in an Apt., partially living with Mom) and he suggested we look into buying some land. He took an interest in us and would just start drawing up plans as we told him what we wanted. He encouraged us for we were alittle scared to buy and build our own home. As he suggested, we searched & found a beautiful piece of land with gorgeous mountain views and we built our Dream Home which has been and still is, a Dream Come True. When we moved in, I could hardly believe it, I had to pinch myself for I thought I had died and gone to heaven. What kept me sober was the horrible loss of this dear man Pastor Dwayne, who we grew to know and love along with his wife, Lani who attached herself to us and has become my very best friend. We now consider her part of our family. We are so blessed to be able to share this bit of heaven with family and friends. We hope you will enjoy your stay with us and we look forward to serving you as our special guests.

Why they chose this property

We chose Valley Center because of it's gorgeous topography. We were longing for the Country with wide open spaces with Hills, Mountains, Groves and Ranches. Homes are spread out on a couple acres each rather than crammed together. We were ready to move out of the Suburban Jungle and make a new life. Valley Center is everyone's idea of a small town with farms, horse ranches, pumpkin fields, rodeos, Western Days Parade, quaint shops, family owned restaurants, historical sites and good people. The more I live here, the more I appreciate how it is. There is enough depersonalizing in life where you feel like a number, but here they know who you are in the Bank, in the Pharmacy, at the Doctor's Office, at the Eye Doctor's, at the Hardware store and on and on.

What makes this property unique

When I am in Valley Center, I feel like I am worlds away from the crazy busy life I used to have in the Suburbs. On almost 3 Acres, this Getaway will automatically help you to just relax with the peace and tranquility all around. The Mountain & Grove Views give you a sense of Ahhhhhh. Put some Steaks on the BBQ and then sit out on the Deck with your dinner and enjoy the views. Most evenings, it is warm enough to sit on the deck and watch the most beautiful sunsets and cloud formations as well as the birds & some wildlife. After it gets dark, step into the private Spa and enjoy some Star Gazing, you can actually see the stars out where we are. There is a lack of light pollution which allows you to see the stars alittle better. If the weather is not quite warm enough, enjoy cooking inside with a Fully equipped Kitchen complete with cookbooks, Blender & more. Snuggle up on the couch and watch a good movie or go to bed early and have a great night of sleep in the super comfortable King Size Bed.
