Rustic hilltop cabin overlooking Lake Hodges. Surrounded by open canyons & mountains, you will feel like you're a million miles away from everything as you take in the views from the cabin, deck or the outside shower, swim in the saltwater pool, or relax by the fire bowl. A short walk to lake with boating, fishing & miles of hiking/mountain biking trails. Property offers swimming pool, fire bowl, and shaded arbor. SD Zoo Safari Park, wineries, breweries, & ocean beaches all within easy reach. This unique, cozy cabin is now one of two Airbnb units on our property. The other is a tiny house, which we designed and handcrafted ourselves and are just starting to rent out this fall, 2022. It's listed on Airbnb as "Lakeview tiny house w/hillside pool" (and "LakeHodgesTinyHouse"). Situated in an oasis-like setting, a short walk from the lake, both the cabin and the tiny house are perfect for a romantic get away or a chance to relax, recharge, and commune with nature. The tiny house and the cabin each have their own private, outdoor shower and other outdoor amenities as well as sharing the swimming pool and firebowl. Enjoy stunning panoramic views of the lake, mountains, and canyons from the outdoor shower, explore the extensive cactus and succulent garden, and visit Cinnamon and Frost, our friendly Nigerian dwarf goats. While the cabin offers a more rustic experience, the tiny house offers many more creature comforts including air conditioning & heating, a full kitchen, TV, a washer & dryer, an indoor bathroom (in addition to the outdoor shower), and an indoor dining area. The cabin has a comfy, queen bed and a small sleeping loft. Guests have the cabin, tiny bathroom building, outdoor shower, and shaded arbor with table and chairs and picnic table all to themselves as well as an outdoor gas grill and small outdoor food storage & preparation area by the pool. They share with us permanent residents and guests at the tiny house, the salt-water pool and seating around the fire bowl. We live in the main house down the hill, and tenants live in the Tiny House. All are available to help guests enjoy their stay, and provide adventure advice. Area has easy access to hiking/biking/horsing trails. Lake offers boating and fishing (Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Channel Catfish, & many others). Beaches and mountains are a short drive away. The San Diego Zoo's Safari Park is about 15 minutes away. Stone Brewing, including their brewery and World Bistro and Gardens, is less than 10 minutes away and there are many other great microbreweries and restaurants nearby. Although there is a transit center about three miles away in Escondido, getting there is not very convenient. However, services like Uber and Lyft can easily find us. Getting to the cabin does require following a winding path past our main house, two koi ponds, the pool (e.g. human pond), the arbor, and to the cabin. This is about 180 paces, and there are five little flights of stairs along the path. The bathroom is a little building behind the cabin, with a cold-water sink, a mirror, and an easy, odor-free composting toilet. There is also the outdoor shower and sink, both with warm water. There is a coffee maker (BYOC), mini fridge, sink, grill with side burner, counter, and cabinet for guests to use for food preparation and storage. All are on the patio by the pool.
