Our farmstay has been described as a "European getaway" without jet lag or time commitment. The barn is two separate units: The Lower Barn and The Upper Barn that must be rented simultaneously if you want to rent the entire barn. Quixote Barn is in the heart of our remote 145 acre family ranch. We share our family citrus farm for agri-tourism as a way to offset water costs for running a farm. Please inquire before booking if meals are available. No Photoshoots, please . This is a one bedroom upstairs apartment in a former horse barn. Please be aware that it is a shared space with the downstairs tenant (separate entrance entirely) who may or may not be there while you are staying. If you want to rent the entire barn, you’ll have to also simultaneously rent the Lower Barn listing. Our ranch is in a very remote agricultural community in an unincorporated area of San Diego near Julian. The barn is located at the end of a short dirt road in the heart of our property near the horses. Available June-Sept Our family saltwater pool, overlooked by our home, just a short walk away, available by reservation (3 hrs max between 10-4pm cutoff).

Large ranch and agricultural properties-rural environment Plenty of free parking. You will need a car to get around and run errands. Check in is at 3 pm. Checkout is 10 am. PLEASE read the Guidebook before coming to the barn. In addition to describing several fun local attractions, the Guidebook has a few pertinent details that everyone MUST know before coming here.

Agritourism was created as a means for the farming industry to offset high costs of running a farm, and to showcase a different way of life. This ranch is our livelihood and we are trying to care for our parents and our family here. While we love to serve our guests well, please understand that we are not a five-star resort. Five stars on Airbnb is completely different from five stars in a hotel. Web search Sandlers, “Romano Tours” on SNL For context: “If you are unhappy in your current environment, it is highly likely you’ll be unhappy here” We can’t do anything to fix that. The ranch is remote . There is nothing to do here, and that’s the point. The farm is ideal for people that want to get away from it all and relax. Some people have booked the property as a base for sightseeing in San Diego-we don’t recommend this. Two-lane Highways can mean traffic slow down no matter what time of day-creating a frustrating long commute. Since this is an organic farm in the country, you may see the occasional ant or bug, or fly. Small dinner parties are acceptable for registered guests, as long as you ask in advance -parties with more than 6 people are strictly prohibited. NO glitter or party decor, please! No photoshoots! We are a welcoming ranch.
