Our trip to Rancho Esquandolas was amazing. What an incredible place. The scenery was spectacular right in the heart of the San Diego County wine region.

When I arrived on the property, I contacted the host because I wasn't sure what direction I needed to go. It took over an hour before the host reached back out to me. While waiting for the host, I proceeded to drive on the property. I parked my van up one of the vineyard rows. When I got out of my vehicle, I noticed the grounds were extremely dry and overgrown with weeds. I let my dog out to roam, however, the ground was too rough and it was pretty hot. I put my dog back in the van. While I was trying to figure out how to set up, a bee flew in my van, unbeknownst to me. My dog stepped …
Nice, beautiful, and secluded. Had a fun time great for hikes and relaxing. Stars are amazing!
