Founded in 1953 by businessman Charlie Brown, Town and Country began as a literal town within the countryside. Once a sought-after destination, it has now become the vibrant heart of the area.

History of Town & Country Resort:
It’s difficult to picture Mission Valley before it transformed into a bustling hub of freeways and dense development. Today, the area is brimming with activities and attractions. Yet, if you travel back less than a century, you’ll discover that it was once a flourishing agricultural region.
With the San Diego river running right through it, Mission Valley made an ideal range for raising livestock and growing produce. This area is also a stone’s throw away from the first Kumeyaay village Kosa’aay, whom also lived along the once clean and lush river.
Given that this area was once considered the countryside, it’s only natural that the first hotel here sought to honor a way of life that was rapidly disappearing.
Town & Country Resort Today
As of 2020, Town and Country has received a HUGE multi-million dollar makeover!  The vibes are very retro San Diego in my opinion which is super cool! It feels like you stepped back into the 60’s! 
The expansive grounds offer numerous areas to explore, featuring four vibrant eateries, a lounge, three pools, the thrilling four-story Twister waterslide, a sand volleyball court, and cozy fire pits. They also host fantastic events like Tiki Oasis!
Keep in mind that this is a VERY family-friendly resort. There will be children everywhere. I know that’s not for everyone which is why I mention it. But if you are a family or just enjoy family vibes, this very well may be the resort for you! The kids all looked like they were having a BLAST and making a ton of great memories.

Dining
Town and Country Resort actually has 5 eateries and a lounge, all open at various hours throughout the morning and evening to keep you satisfied until the late hours! The five restaurants included are ARLO, Lapper, Lap it Up, MRKT and Monkey Bar.
We ate at both ARLO and the Monkey Bar and both were delicious, gourmet experiences. Paired with the resort views made for some very enjoyable and relaxing meals! 
The interior decorating of the lounge was so well done, I could not stop taking photos!
The hallways had their own retro flair too which I enjoyed:
Picture perfect:

And parts of our delicious meals. That crème brûlée was memorable and I definitely want to go back for more!
The next morning we ate lunch at the Monkey Bar:
Til next time!
