The Cottage at Quixote Farm

Our farmstay has been described as as a "European getaway" without the jet lag or time commitment. Quixote Cottage is a small private cottage overlooking a 15-acre citrus grove on our very remote 130 acre family ranch on a hillside overlooking Pauma Valley. At 1800 feet above sea level, we enjoy temperate seasons. We share our family farm for agri-tourism as a way to offset water costs for running a farm. It’s our hope that you will feel revived and replenished during your time here . Welcome!
