  • Nov 26, 2025 A great place for a big family stay. We loved our stay at Coulter House over Thanksgiving weekend. The property is stunning and unique with plenty of room to host all of our family. The kitchen is well-stocked, and has everything you need to prepare a big feast. The beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood is lovely and walkable to restaurants and bakeries and easy to get to the playground in Balboa Park. A great place for a big family stay. Lisa W
  • Oct 16, 2025 We look forward to coming back again. We were there with two families and the kids for an event in San Diego. The kids enjoyed the house more than the event we had planned months for. An incredible experience and a wonderful history in this house. We look forward to coming back again. Chris M

  • Aug 07, 2025 The Coulter House was a great experience for our large family. The house itself is a special experience, beautiful and full of history and plenty of space to explore. It was a great place for our family to meet in San Diego! Also Gather met our daughter early when her flight came in to check her in, we appreciated that! Brent A
  • Jul 22, 2025 La villa è stupenda. La villa è stupenda, spaziosa sia in interno che in esterno, arredata con cura e ricca di particolari. La cucina super attrezzata e fornita di tutti gli utensili ed elettrodomestici per cucinare. Ampi spazi utili anche per lavorare senza essere disturbati. La posizione è ottima, vicino al Balboa Park e il centro è raggiungibile anche a piedi. Dalla terrazza si gode una vista panoramica sul porto turistico e in giardino è presente una vasca idromassaggio per rilassarsi. La sala da pranzo è molto accogliente e può ospitare anche più di 12 persone. Le camere sono molto ampie, con il bagno all'interno, i letti sono molto comodi. Abbiamo trovato tutto pulito e perfetto al nostro arrivo. Siamo entusiasti del nostro soggiorno e consigliamo assolutamente l'esperienza! Marina A
  • Jul 21, 2025 I really love the place. It was like staying in a museum. I would say that it could definitely use a pool and the rules can be a little bit more relaxed. I can see why not too many people were chomping at the bit to stay there that being said we were there for a business trip and it was a great space for us quiet and close to our destination. I really felt like I was staying in a time capsule. Rasheed B

Step inside to soaring ceilings, rich wood accents, and refined décor that echo the home’s heritage. The formal living room doubles as a music room, with a grand piano anchoring the space.
