About this property

Rancho de los Robles is located on the east side of Mount Palamor in Northeast San Diego County Ca. Nestled under over 400 ancient Oak Trees the property offers Horse Camping with a pasture for horses (specifically for renters), stall space in the barn with paddock. A pond, access to the Pacific Crest Trail, wineries, incredible nature, golf, hunting and brilliant star filled skies.

Rancho de los Robles is a great getaway. If you choose to you will not come in contact with anyone. Fresh air and sunshine are in abundance here. At 4200 feet elevation smog, city noise and lights are not present...It should also be noted that because of its rural setting Cell and wifi reception are spotty. Wifi in the house is consistent as is Verizon cell. That said there are areas on the ranch and the surrounding areas that are non-service.

One hour to Palm Springs, and Idywild, forty minutes to Julian (a quaint old mining town), and Temecula (Old town, Wineries, Pechanga Casino, shopping and dining) 15 minutes to Warner Springs (golf). One and a half hours to San Diego Zoo, Sea World and Beaches.

However ...Once here you will probably not want to leave the property. This is a horse ranch with many other farm animals (ducks, chickens, goats). There is a great winery at the bottom of the hill with a tasting room.

The house has an incredible sunset deck with BBQ, full kitchen.

We also provide a venue for events

Horrible

Place was absolutely filthy. Spider webs covered the couch. Spiders on the walls, spiders and dead bugs in the corners. Rat poop under fridge. Rat poop in cabinet next to rat poison. Looked like blood in refrigerator. Looked like blood on ceiling in hallway. Layer of dust on tv. No way anybody could sleep there.

Great place to stay

This is a great place to unplug and get away. The back country in San Diego is totally worth the drive. The only thing to keep in mind is that the cellular networks really aren't built out to this area.

Fantastic location but...

Would be perfect if the accommodation looked like it did in the pictures. Perhaps it does in March? Unfortunately, in July, the immediate surrounds of the property were so overgrown with mustard and grass, it made being outside difficult. It served the purpose of shielding our dogs from the barrage of fireworks that is 4th of July in Riverside though. The location is wonderful and this really could be a gold mine, but it needs a bit of TLC

Lovely Remote Stay

Phil was very responsive, the entrance is a little hard to get to if you don't know where you're going and Phil was kind enough to meet us on the main road (he offered, which was so sweet!). The space was as pictured, it is a beautiful space in the mountains with oaks and we even got to meet some baby goats. The wifi was strong enough for phone calls and streaming video on netflix but I wouldn't plan to use it all night, we were there to visit the outdoors. The kitchen was super well stocked and beds were very comfortable. Phil answered all the questions that we had and was very helpful with making sure we were all set up, he even gave us a bottle of local cabernet.

Little piece of country

What a beautiful property. We enjoyed the house, location, and I absolutely loved waking up to cows!! We never left the property for the weekend so not sure about surrounding area. I met a friend to just hang out. 2 things missing- could use some bigger, extra pots for cooking and maybe some games on the boom shelf. It was a great place to be during a lightning, thunder storm for sure!

Deceitful Advertising

Drove 130 miles from Los Angeles to Warner Springs just to find that what I thought was going to be a beautiful place turned out to be a dirty and unkept place. For the price I was charged it wasn’t even worth it. I should get my money back!

Great place to get away from the city

We had an excellent time at the ranch. Location is very private. Place had everything we needed. Phil is a great host and his house is down the road from the rental, you can barely see his place through the trees. Place is great to walk around and see all the cute animals. Hawk Watch winery is just 10 minutes away too which is a great place for wine tasting if you're into that.

Oak Heaven

People, this place is a ranch through and through. If you love and appreciate ranch life, hard work, and the land of hidden and old California; this is the place for you. Huge oak trees litter the property and it is extremely well maintained. Everything on the property is beautiful, earthy, and away from the business of your every day life. The animals are extremely social, but don’t just go sticking your hands out to horses and goats, they can read you before you read them. The pond is tranquil and the dry river beds and meadows that are hidden in the brush of the property make you want to explore more and more every day. Phil was an amazing host and we often had long conversations by the paddocks talking about the history of the property, the animals, and the surrounding biology of the area. If this sounds like your gig, book your date immediately. Now a disclaimer for those from busier areas, the wifi is spotty, you will have no service, the tv will cut in and out, you will have to bring and cook your own food, and the trailer has no AC. With all that being said, do not be upset when you book a ranch, and then get a ranch. Phil and the property are so welcoming and I can’t wait for my next visit!

A FEW STEPS UP FROM CAMPING

We needed a quiet getaway and after an illness cancelled our first booking, Phil, the host was understanding, compassionate and willing to negotiate or second booking. Phil was entertaining and pleasant. He even brought Betty-Sue, the pony, over for a visit while on a walk. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked at first and very sad. The beautiful photos of the property are old photos. The unit we rented had no grass, flowers or patio lights. The inside photos are accurate, furnished with vintage mix-match pieces, except the bed and pillow 👌🏼which were comfortable. I spent a couple hours cleaning things I knew we would be touching. The place could do with a professional cleaning from time to time. The pitch-black nights, coyote howls, hawks and stillness was what we were after and found it tenfold. Every morning we’d feed the chickens, horses and goats. The perfect start to a stressless day. The unit was the perfect size and once you get used to a frig with no bulb, an old coffee maker that leaks and no broom, we settled quickly. Phil was sweet to drop off a few supplies after his trip to town. The Ruko system great for movies/tv but nothing live like news or sports. We will return and look forward to it. However next time ill bring cleaning gloves, cleaner, extra dish soap, my own body soap and conditioner and large coffee mugs.. A large blanket to cover the sofa and fingers crossed the sofa pillows get cleaned or replaced soon. It's a very large property giving many trails for walking the dog, however, the property seems to be cared for by Phil alone. This property needs more hands! Trees need to be fell and horse fields tended to. IF YOU LOVE AND UNDERSTAND COUNTRY LIFE, this is divine. IF YOU HAVE A HORSE, bring it! This is a quiet hidden gem, well lived in and loved. Didn't go in with higher expectations as I did unless you brought vodka 😉 I REPEAT WE WILL RETURN JUST FOR THE QUIET AND SIMPLE, no phone, WEEKEND. John and Joanne

a verdant retreat well off the beaten path

Look no further if you want to get away from all the hubbub of city life! Giant centuries-old oak trees canopy the grounds which are home to horses, goats, ducks and chickens; at night the place comes alive with the brilliance of thousands of stars above and the yips and howls of coyotes in the not-so-distance. During the day, venture off-pavement on one of the several forest roads surrounding the magical Chihuahua valley, hike the Pacific Crest Trail which crosses just to the east, explore one or more of the wineries of the North Mountain Wine Trail nearby, or head down to Julian for a taste of the California gold rush. Philip is an outstanding host, greeting his guests with a quite-good bottle of wine produced from the cabernet sauvignon grapes he grows on the property and regaling them with fascinating stories of the history of the place. The house itself is modest but clean and offers all of the conveniences and comforts of home. That said, this is a remote location and visitors should arrive prepared. We came up with a meal plan for our stay and cooked our meals at home in advance, but there's a well-stocked kitchen in which you can do your meal prep - just be mindful that the nearest full-service grocery is 45 minutes away by car in Temecula (there's a gas station and general store about 15 minutes away but its selection is limited). If you’re anything like us, you'll be sorry to leave this spectacular place and looking forward to coming back!

Very Relaxing

My husband and I are always looking for short trips to get out of town for some stress release. This place fits the bill. We had a very relaxing time and to top it off, you get a bottle of wine (it was great!). We visited the goats and also saw the very cute colt in the distance. Sitting by the pond was very peaceful. There is a trail to the vineyard, but I became a little worried after seeing some large animal tracks, and turned back before we saw the vines. This is to be expected. You are far from city life. We ate our dinners outside on the picnic table and listened to the beautiful music of the crickets in the evening. We sat by the fire pit after dinner, and could hear the coyotes in the distance. The owner was out of town, so we didn't get to meet him. His son Gabriel was kind enough to help us with a small problem. All in all it was a good trip. We went home smiling and relaxed.

Quiet Get Away

The weekend was just what I was looking for. A quiet place out in the country where I could take long walks with my dog off leash. Lots of wildlife... turkeys, buzzards, coyotes, hares, squirrels, chipmunks and birds. Took off one star because there was no a/c as advertised but I didn't need it. The place is nicely shaded during the day and I enjoyed just sitting out on the porch. Bed was super comfortable and kitchen nicely stocked with essentials.

Magical

My boyfriend and I decided to go up to the area with Dunston our senior dog from Los Angeles because we were going to volunteer at a farm animal rescue nearby, and the drive would’ve been too much for one day. So we stayed two nights at this property. First impression, the ease of check-in was so great, we had stayed at another rental in San Diego last year that everything was so precious, there were instructions about the instructions and everything was a process and you had to read and do this and that and the other thing before entering the rental. Here we pulled up and turned the key. So easy. Second impression, we had only been there a few minutes when I saw a man walking up in the distance with a wine bottle in his hands. That is always a good thing. People bringing wine. He modestly said, I don’t drink it so I don’t know how good it will be (it was delicious). I have read other reviews complaining about the Wi-Fi or other issues and for us, this trip, it was besides the point. I have stayed in luxurious five star places, and while this was not that, I found it very comfortable and clean and the experience we had was transcendent. My dog Dunston is always a part of the road trips we take these days. He is getting on in years and we love him so much and want to give him the best last years we can. He was so excited and so thrilled at the nature around here. Everything was so beautiful. When Phil told us he had baby goats my heart jumped. We went down to the enclosure that was a short walk from the rental and we were able to touch and pet and interact with the goats, it was such a special experience. There is one of the baby goats that was born a little injured and handicapped and how I wanted to take her home. Holding her was so thrilling and special and I can’t wait to go back to see her again. I will say that at night you do realize that you are in nature. There were some kind of critters who were having a disco party on the roof both nights. So if you are a light sleeper bring some white noise or earplugs. But when you wake up and see that sunrise, and those birds, and those animals, that is experience that you are there for. At least we were. For us, staying there with nature after our traffic filled city life was so relaxing. At night we had no issues with the cable, and drinking wine and watching movies we were at peace. At one point during our stay Phil road up on a white horse, Dunston about plozted :)
