The cottage is about 450 square feet of farmhouse charm and roomy inside.
Hiking trails right outside your door. Away from the hustle bustle of the city in a rural setting but also close to shopping, dining amusement parks, beaches, mountains, it really is the perfect location.
Sit outside on the covered front porch and relax in the rocking chair or sit at the bistro table for alfresco meals.
Vista is said to have the third best climate in the nation!

Lots of windows to let in the fresh mountain air.
Enjoy a romantic cozy evening just staying-in with the electric fireplace or hit the town and explore everything north county San Diego has to offer.
Stretch out on the lounge chairs on the deck at night and enjoy night lights in the distance.
You may get serenaded by the bullfrogs or hear coyotes owls and other wildlife here.
That’s what makes Hummingbird Cottage special.

A perfect choice!

Marie and Allen were wonderful, accommodating, kind hearted hosts, with an attentiveness to detail in providing a clean, calm, respite, that was a pleasure to awaken in and to return to each evening. The space is lovely, welcoming, warm and comfortable. It has been beautifully created/decorated with care and concern for guests enjoyment and comfort. I found everything that I needed for my stay. Thank you for providing such a lovely environment, it was much appreciated. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of nature in the evenings as I fell asleep and when I awoke. I hope to stay again for my next visit to the area. Thank you!

Hummingbird Cottage

I loved this cottage! Very cute and very clean. Gorgeous view. I can tell the hosts put alot of thought and care in decorating and setting up the cottage. The hosts were wonderful and I thank them very much for an awesome stay. I was in San Diego for a memorial which was a little emotional. But it was so great to come back to the cottage and sit on the deck, relax and take in the wonderful view. Thank you so much! I would definitely stay there again!

Just What I Wanted

It has everything you need for quick weekend getaway. We actually extended our stay because we were enjoying ourselves so much. It’s private, cozy, intimate, easy access hiking, with all the modern amenities, and minutes from town. This is so well thought out. It really was everything we wanted/ needed, and better than what we anticipated.

Vista cottage

The cottage had beautiful views, and a path to the walking trail just outside the door. It was very private, clean and well maintained. The hosts were responsive and gracious. The downfall is the construction is noisy and likely going to affect the beautiful views. There also is an excess of items on the cottage tables and other spaces (Pillows, kick knacks, etc) that although are tasteful, take up space needed by visitors for their things. A nonslip bathmat or alternative is needed in the shower/tub. We would return.

Hummingbird Cottage is a cozy, romantic get away spot. It is beautifully appointed and perfect for two. It is close to all that you would want to do in San Diego and the surrounding areas. We will definitely be back, and the farm fresh eggs were an added bonus!

If you’re looking for a beautiful and quiet spot close enough to the city, you found it. From the minute we walked in the door I was dreading departure. We will be back. Marie and Allen are the perfect hosts. If you go, take care of my fave vacation spot.

Very quaint and secluded

Marie and Allen were great hosts. The place was just as advertised but the pictures don’t really give the full effect of being in nature with all its sounds and beauty. The cottage was well appointed and stocked with the necessities. We took advantage of the hiking trail which is literally steps from the front porch. No complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend this place as it is a steal for the price.
