Sparkling Hot Tub!-Amazing Mt and Lake Views-Serenity-Abundant Wildlife

Treat yourself! Enjoy incredible views, wild turkeys, the incredible Hot Spring Spa with a glass of wine overlooking it all. There is also so much to see within a short drive. Take a scenic drive right from the property all the way up to Mesa Grande and around to Santa Ysabel and back to the Lake View Retreat. Maybe take in a beautiful hike on Santa Ysabel West or Three Sisters Falls. Or visit one of the incredible wineries close by.

Finish the evening with a glass of wine as you soak in the hot tub overlooking the breathtaking scenery and enjoy all the incredible birds visiting the feeders and bath. Top that off with a long hot outdoor shower. Incredible sunrise and sunset views. Add in the lake views between the oaks and you might think you are in heaven. There are no city lights to dim the stars. No neighbors, just peace. Roast marshmallows around the fire pit, enjoy your meals outside at the large iron table and comfy chairs. Depending on the time of year you might wake up to deer and turkeys staring in the window. We are sure you will find your stay delightful. The house will be thoroughly sanitized before your stay. You can rest assured that every precaution has been taken to keep you safe. Be sure to follow us and find out more about us on Facebook @thebluebirdretreat


"Lara's home was perfect! The views were amazing! We even saw deer, 5 of them in the front yard. The home seems brand new with all the modern updates. Felt like we were staying at a 5 star hotel. Our only complaint is we wish we had more time to relax at her home & enjoy the calmness of it. Truly a home to recharge in."

"This place is so extraordinary. The location is amazing, the home is cozy and well decorated. You can tell the moment you arrive that this is a special place. The birds in the yard, the scenery, the absolute quiet and the stars at night! It is well equipped for cooking meals and really, everything you need is there except your own things! So much attention to detail and making sure you will feel comfortable. I stayed so I could explore the area and visit Julian. A good spot to do that from."

"We had the most amazing time at this beautiful home! I knew from the photos that this place would be nice but it was even better in person which is hard to believe! The hosts have gone above and beyond to make you feel at home, to have all those extra nice touches. We love sitting by the fire pit in the backyard and waking up and eating breakfast on the back patio. The views are spectacular. One of my favorite homes we’ve stayed at to date! If you stay here you won’t want to leave!"

"Only praise for this amazing property! The pictures don't do the views justice - and I thought the pictures were amazing. The whole house is very stylish and the views from every room can't be beat! Between watching the birds and wildlife and sitting in the hot tub at night, we wouldn't have even needed to go anywhere else. With the close proximity to San Diego as well as the reasonable road trip distance to Joshua Tree, this is the perfect location. I would recommend this property to anyone. AMAZING!"

"My wife and I could not stop talking about how perfect this house is. It feels like we jumped into a pinterest ad for beautifully done and decorated kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces. It smells clean and fresh and a little like crate & barrel. We can't get over the gorgeous views and landscaping. This was a quick weekend trip and we SO wish we had a least a few more days."

"Exceptional & Outstanding!!! Our 14th stay at an AirBnB and this was the BEST! The indoor and outdoor space exceeded our expectations. It was the best, well equipped kitchen we’ve experienced. The proximity to incredible wineries is unmatched. This property is the definition of peace and relaxation...from the mattress to the hot tub and nature and the quiet! Clean and immaculate! FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE!!!"

Hidden Heaven
Of all the vacation homes I've stayed at, this one by far is one of the best. Upon entering, the first thing I could not help but notice was how well the house looked maintained. Every window was sparkling clean and everything was in good working condition. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of counter top space for cooking. The house is beautifully decorated and so very comfortable. The views are beyond amazing. Bring binoculars!!!!! I saw lots of deer roaming around. At night, I would sit out on the patio in the dark and stare at the starry sky. The feeling of stillness and calmness is very noticeable because It's incredibly quiet. No city noise or lights. For fun, I walked from the house down to CA-78. Round trip was about 2.5 miles. Along the way you'll see great views of the lake and you'll pass several working ranches. I saw horses, buffaloes, mules, and turkeys. While I was there, the Santa Ana winds hit hard. The wind is no joke in this area. The homeowner notified me that the power was going to be turned off as a fire precaution. I was so grateful to hear that they not only had back up battery power and they also had a generator as backup for such situations. Now that's what I call a Wisdom Win. They continued to keep me updated and made sure I was comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back to visit a magical place!!!!

We had the most relaxing time with a beautiful view. Lara’s attention to detail in the house made us feel like we were at home…without the stress! She even checked in by text to make sure we got in and everything was ok.Hot tub with an incredible view of the valley and sunset. Clean, updated, with all the amenities. Multiple feeders and native brush attracted all kinds of birds. We definitely hope to go back and stay longer!

If you are intrigued by the photos and description of The Bluebird Retreat, the place is even better in person! Such a quiet, secluded sanctuary with breathtaking views. The cottage was so well appointed- Lara has thought of everything. We used it as a home base while we enjoyed hiking in the area. It is spotless and comfortable. Whether you are soaking in the hot tub or sitting by the fire pit enjoying fantastic local wine, you can’t help but be relaxed. We loved to watch such a variety of birds and wildlife too. Lara was very attentive and was always available b

We spent a week at the Bluebird Retreat while visiting our son and daughter-in-law who live nearby. Lara’s home really felt like home away from home. We had some rainy days, and my daughter-in-law took advantage of the wonderfully stocked kitchen to treat us to some special meals. On a warmer evening, we roasted hot dogs over the fire pit while watching the sunset. The whole house is welcoming and great for relaxing and just hanging out. We especially enjoyed sunrises watching the birds and sunsets in the hot tub. I had a few questions, and Lara was easy to communicate with. We know where we’ll be staying next time we visit the kids.
