This truly one of a kind home in San Diego was magical from the moment we walked in to feast our eyes upon the spectacularly designed and finished architecture. The fine details of them beautiful tile work, the inviting amenities and Karen's wonderful hospitality made our stay at the Rustic Emerald Retreat incomparable. We traveled to San Diego to participate in the Rock and Roll Marathon but the highlights of our stay in the city were had exploring the beautiful hills and trails around Karen's home, soaking our tired traveler's legs in the hot tub, and enjoying quality family time while cooking meals together and eating by the outdoor fireplace. I can't wait to return! Thank you Karen!
