A nice place for a weekend escape in Escondido, CA

---

Sometimes you just have to go to a nice place, green, cool, where you can get in touch with your muses... or with each other... So here is a recommendation: a couple of nights at the Castle Creek Inn, which is next to the Castle Creek Golf Country Club, in Escondido.

The rooms at this place are beautiful - the beds are soft, the linens are warm, and when you open the door a cool, pine-smelling breeze comes in. I don't know what it will do to you but this place makes me want to read and write.

The Inn has a nice size pool and three hot tubs. There's lots of green around because it's next to a golf course. The course has a restaurant/bar where you can get your meals and at night time it becomes a karaoke place.

The Inn is not too far off the 15 freeway, so there are opportunities to travel down to San Diego and other locations near by. One such location is the Stone Brewery. Nice, gorgeous place to have a meal and/or do some beer tasting. Quite a popular place, you won't be alone.
