General Information

Twin Palms Ranch is located in a residential neighborhood, yet we have nearly 5 fenced acres of meadows, trees and many animals. We are across the street from Echo Hills Golf Course, and down the hill from the Ramona Bowl, where the Official California Outdoor play "Ramona" is held. We have 2 beautiful suites with private baths and patios for your enjoyment. The Little House is a seperate cottage, with fireplace and Queen bed. The Treehouse is on the second story of the main house, and boasts a magnificent view from its deck. The main residence and guest house are built with thick, gently curving walls, made with strawbale construction, which keep the rooms naturally warm and cozy in the winter, cool and comfortable in the summer. We are 1 1/2 miles from new Diamond Valley Lake, and the Western Center Museum that sits in front of the lake. This lake is larger than all other Southern California lakes combined, and offers fishing, boating and a variety of other recreational activities for your enjoyment. Twin Palms offers privacy, great food, great location, friendly animals and outstanding views.

• Our signature dish is Chili Egg Puff
  Light and souffle-like, filled with Jack cheese and mild green chilis, then baked to a golden puffed condition, Chili Egg Puff has NEVER failed to make a hit. Everyone loves this dish. It is delicious, and the customer can add as much salsa as they want to fit their taste. I usually serve a breakfast meat, crossaints or tortillas, and a fruit salad or a smoothie for a real great meal. This recipe was given to me by my late Mother-in-law, Naomi Smithers, the best Mother-in-law in the world.
