55My pups BEST DAY EVER! We chose the stream hike and we were amazed at how serene and beautiful the spot was. Being able to allow my dogs off leash to run and just be dogs was such a special treat. They had a blast running down the trails and jumped right in when we reached the stream—super refreshing after a quick hike. Relaxing and gorgeous area with 4 chairs, an umbrella, sandy beach, picnic table, swing, and hammock. David and Alma were so accommodating and sweet. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

55Had rented for 2 hrs. Did the stream trail. Had a ball the dogs had a wonderful time. Loved sniffing all around and in the water. Great hosts and directions. The trail to the stream is pretty hilly and we were not in the best shape so it took a minute. If you do the stream bring extra pair of shoes and socks because it is more fun going in the stream with the pups. It is messy dirt and sand but well worth it. Chairs and Picnic table and hammock. I would say less than two hours won’t allow for all the cool things they can do.
I would say the only downside is there were these black flying bugs (like knats all over) so spray yourself. But overall great time and will come back. Loved seeing my dogs just having a blast!!wendi e.

55Great Location!
The beautiful drive to this location was just the start of a great day. It was easy to find with the directions given by the hosts. The short hike to the stream makes it nice for all ages and short snout dogs. Great views of the valley along the trails. The stream area was very relaxing, void of outside noises with clean chairs and picnic table. The stream was extremely pet friendly, not deep or aggressive. Our boxer had a great time running and exploring off leash. Alma was very welcoming and hospitable. All around experience was perfect. Definitely making this location our go to. George H.

55This was absolutely the most amazing experience! My pup had the day of her dreams being able to hike and play safely off leash. The property is gorgeous and full of lots of trees and plants for your doggo to sniff and explore. The creek area is paradise and so much fun. There's even a little sandy beach area! I could not recommend going more and I can't wait til we go again so we can try out all the other amazing extras that are offered!Emma R.

55This location was more beautiful than I had expected. Driving in, (from Los Angeles) my two girls were ecstatic to finally get out of the car and run after their noses to get lost in nature. Thankfully, this spot has much to offer! Exploring trails was a first for my two shelter dogs; their happy wagging tails along the private hike was just what I had been hoping for. We opted to go the the creek and I cannot imagine not doing that... The swiftly flowing water is crisp and clear, and shallow enough that everyone can enjoy. My only regret is not spending more time there, which is why I will definitely return. Thank you to David and Alma for sharing this beautiful property with us dog-loving adventurers! Brittany R.

55My doggos had a great time! We opted to adventure in the orchard and had a nice time following the roads. It had rained recently and my dogs were DELIGHTED to find a decent sized puddle to romp around in. The property is fenced in, but there are driveways that have openings to the road. If your dogs stay close or have good recall it is not an issue. My dogs wander a bit ahead, but had no issues turning away from the openings to head back into the orchard. The roads in the orchard are compacted dirt making them easy to walk, but some sections are a bit steep. My dogs and I both got a good workout. Loved it! I live in Downtown San Diego and think this was worth the drive out!Tarn R.

55What a fun place to explore with our dogs! It’s about a 1 hour drive from San Diego, but so worth it. The creek is beautiful and worth adding on. Alma is a great, responsive host and provided clear directions - follow the directions she sends and you’ll be just fine :) Sarah E.

55We were a little lost and David and Alma helped us find our way to the trail. We did not get stream hike add on, but we were given the option to add it after we arrived. The stream hike is a must if your dog loves water. We ended up spending all our time by the stream while my dog jumped around and explored the water and surrounding area.Carlos V.

55This place was Incredible- we were lucky to be able to experience it! We brought our four dogs and to see them be able to run around and sniff everything off leash (while also getting to practice their recall) was so amazing.
And 10/10 recommend adding the stream. Our pups loved it. We will be back and plan to bring a bag lunch with us next time!
One small note- the walk/hike down to the stream is definitely steep! So if you have hiking poles, bring them. We managed fine without them and so did my parents who came with us but they would’ve made our lives easier for sure!Colleen M.

55Milhouse celebrated his 7th birthday here and he had a blast. We usually do a hike for his bday but he’s reactive to dogs and has gotten attacked often (he just has that punchable face). It was nice for me to not have to be on alert knowing we’d have the space to myself. Milhouse lived his best life. First time off leash without concern. Thank y’all. We will be back for future birthdays.Tammy L.

55I've been to Alma & David's spot multiple times with my reactive dog, but this was the first time I went down to the creek and I LOVED it! It's such a relaxing area, large enough that Kono could explore while I sat in the lounge chair and relaxed, but not so large that I worried about him getting swept away :D We'll be back for the creek hike for sure!Michelle C.
