Our farmstay has been described as a "European getaway" without jet lag or time commitment. The barn is two separate units: the Lower barn, and the Upper barn that must be rented simultaneously if you want to rent the entire barn. We have a lovely new farm shop with a few snacks, ceramics, art and gifts We share our family citrus farm for agri-tourism as a way to offset water costs. Ask about our add-on and experience options! The space The Lower Barn is the downstairs area of our converted barn. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms with a den (with foldout sofa) and a dining room. The barn is in the heart of our farm near our rescue horses- You may see our farmhands working from time to time. There may or may not be an upstairs guest (who you may or may not see) both of you have your own dedicated entrances. If you want the maximum amount of privacy and quiet, we recommend you rent the entire barn, by consecutively booking the Upper barn here at Quixote Farm. Otherwise, please be aware there are hardwood floors upstairs and you may hear some ambient sounds, although we’ve never had any issues or guest concerns. Guest access Enjoy the Ranch! Its lovely to walk in our gently sloping orchard. A map of the property is provided in the guidebook.

Agritourism was created as a means for the farming industry to offset high costs of running a farm, and to showcase a different way of life. This ranch is our livelihood and we are trying to care for our parents and our family here. While we love to serve our guests well, please understand that we are not a five-star resort. Five stars on Airbnb is completely different from five stars in a hotel. Since this is a FARM in the country, you may see the occasional ant or bug, or fly, or things that crawl. Keep doors closed! The ranch is remote . There is nothing to do here, and that’s the point. The farm is ideal for people that want to get away from it all and relax in nature. Some people have booked the cottage as a base for sightseeing in San Diego-we don’t recommend this. Two-lane Highways can mean traffic slow down no matter what time of day-creating a frustrating long commute. Small dinner parties are acceptable as long as you ask in advance -parties with more than 6 people are strictly prohibited. NO music, glitter or party decor, please!
