Review:

Rancho Buena Vista Adobe is a 2,288-acre ranch in San Diego County, California. The land on which the ranch was later built was given as a Mexican land grant in 1845 to an Indian known as Felipe by Governor Pío Pico. The grant, located south of San Luis Rey River and Rancho Monserate, encompassed present day Vista and is considered Vista’s birthplace. The adobe was built as a private home, and a series of consecutive owners added their own touches to the architecture and furnishing. Today, the building is a house museum, and 45-minute tours of the historic ranch are conducted Thursday and Friday and include a video presentation about the ranch history. The art gallery, located on the premises, features local artists’ works.
