Bob has lived on these ranch estates with his family for about 20 years, and he looks after every guest himself.
The ranch sits about 9 miles from the Pacific at roughly 1,000 feet, high enough that the coastal fog rarely reaches it. On most nights you can see the stars.
The area has miles of horseback, cycling and hiking trails, and the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve nearby gives it an away-from-it-all feeling, while beaches, shopping and restaurants are still close.
Bob raised his four children here, and now he shares the estates with families, teams and wedding parties who want the same feeling.

Owner and host. He answers inquiries himself and knows every corner of the property.
Private chef for dinners, brunches, BBQ or every meal of your stay.
24/7 concierge help during your stay, from late check-ins to grocery runs.
This is a family property first. Bob runs it himself and hosts every group directly.
The ranch sits in Elfin Forest, a rural pocket of North County between Carlsbad, San Marcos and Escondido. It is horse country, with oak-lined roads, open hillsides and very little traffic.
The estates share the property with the horses, hens, orchards and gardens that make it feel like a working ranch.
The Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve is minutes away, with miles of trails, an overlook above Olivenhain Reservoir and quiet morning hikes.
It is a good first stop for groups who want to stretch their legs after the drive.
Booking direct means you talk to the person who knows the property, not a call center. Questions get answered by text, usually the same day.
It also means no platform service fee added to your stay.
Bob helps plan room assignments, extras and day trips before you arrive, and stays reachable during the stay without hovering.
Text Bob for dates and he will take it from there.
