My husband and I had visited Temecula about 12 years ago and loved it, so it made perfect sense to us to return to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. We booked the sweet "Ultimate Cottage Getaway" home based on its location to the vineyards and beautiful photos in the posting. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint, it looks even better in person both inside and out. Check in was easy and quick, and we immediately enjoyed the patio seating area. We cooked one night and went out the other two, and all three nights we enjoyed time sitting under the stars in the hot tub which is privately situated away from the road. The views from the property are stunning, and its location is perfect for anyone who wants to hit the vineyards and do some tasting. Some of our favorites wineries are Monte de Oro, Falkner, Peltzer Family Farms and an off the beaten path organic vineyard called Foote Path. We grabbed lunch at Mount Palomar after doing a tasting there....highly recommend the margaritas! Each morning started with coffee on the patio around the propane firepit. On our last day there we had a chance to meet the owner, who you can tell is proud of (as he should be) his rentals. There are other rental units on the same property, but honestly other than the cars in the driveway, we didn't every see or hear the other guests.
This cottage is a perfect place for a couple looking to relax and recharge. It is tastefully furnished with a small kitchen/eating area, a small living room with TV, a comfortable queen sized bed in a separate bedroom and a small ensuite bathroom with shower. The kitchen is well stocked in case you want to prepare meals on site as well.
If you want a relaxing get away, close enough to enjoy the vineyards and far enough to avoid the crowds, this property is for you! It's beautiful, quiet and private, a 10 out of 10 for sure!
