Treehouse by Pechanga reservation

PaolaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Very beautiful stay away from the city! We were really surprised by the views and how you can stargaze at night. At night, we did see a coyote nearby and a rodent ran by inside its what we expected based on the location and surrounding area. Overall. It was very peaceful and the amenities were also very useful.

Country Hot Tub Hideaway Amazing Views on 40 acres

MadelineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our stay with Roberta was absolutely lovely! The place was a little hard to find but following the written instructions provided made it so much easier! The location was super private and beautiful. Roberta was available to talk to whenever we had any questions which was lovely. It was clean and organized everything looked just as it did in the listing! The wood burning fireplace was one of my favorite touches! 10/10 would recommend and would stay again if I’m ever back in town!
