Nearby attractions include LEGOLAND California, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Stone Brewing, local wineries, microbreweries, beaches, and Cruisin’ Grand in Escondido on summer Friday nights. Harmony Grove sits within the Escondido Creek watershed and the broader San Elijo Canyon landscape, where creek, canyon, riparian forest, oak woodland, wildlife, and local geology come together. The area is part of the traditional homeland of the Kumeyaay people, called the Diegueño by the Spanish, and more specifically associated with the Ipai / Iipay Kumeyaay people. The canyon also lies along an old inland travel corridor historically associated with stagecoach travel through North County. This property is best for guests who appreciate quiet, beauty, nature, history, design, and a sense of place. Because of the creek, natural terrain, treehouse, tire swing, skate ramp, wildlife, and valuable breakable items, it is not especially kid-friendly. Guest access Full property, 3 acres except the main house. Other things to note StarLink WiFi, heat, AC, EV charger
