Nothing short of amazing

Fantastic location, clean, phenomenal views and comfortable accommodations. Husband and I stayed while in town for a weekend getaway following a work trip. So glad that we found this gem. Didn’t get to explore the trails as much as we would have liked but that leaves something for the next time. Great host and communication. Looking forward to staying again.

Working Trip

Very nice property and great views to the west. Mike our host was very responsive to any questions and needs. Stayed with a couple of other buddies and basically just enjoyed the pool and barbecue area because we were to exhausted to do anything else from 2 days of wine bottling for Faulkner Winery in Temecula. Looking forward to sharing again in future with my wife only for quiet and relaxing getaway.

Spectacular gem of a place

Couldn’t have been happier with this surprisingly beautiful place - even better than the photos and descriptions. The views are stunning, the outdoor area (pools, hammocks, deck chairs, etc) are relaxing and spa-like. And we loved all the mountain trails. And the indoor yoga studio! Mike and Tori were perfect hosts, helpful and gracious. Nothing but thumbs up. Hoping to come back. -Neal and Mary

Outstanding Veiws!

We will definitely be back to stay at this location and telling all my friends and family about it! Mike was excellent at communicating, very friendly, and gracious. The room was immaculate and I loved the small kitchenette! The microwave and fridge were def a plus. The sunset view at night by the pool was phenomenal! Thanks again to Mike and his family for letting us stay at their wonderful home! Wish I could give it a higher rating!

Great for kids and nature lovers

This place and the surrounding area is gorgeous. My daughter (8 yrs) could barely tear herself away from the amazing rock climbing room for long enough to eat; a really great amenity for moms who want to relax while their child is occupied and burning some energy off. Close enough to drive into Temecula if you want and far enough from everything to feel like you are really getting away. We had a great time and the owners were very helpful and nice. Super sweet welcome basket with trail mix for a hike. Will definitely be back.

Amazing getaway!

My husband, son, and I had a rehearsal dinner and wedding to attend in Temecula and decided to find a vacation rental instead of staying at the hotel. We live less than an hour from Temecula but thought we could just make it a mini vacation. We were so pleased with this place! My son loved the loft bed and yoga and climbing walls. We all loved the amazing pool with the smaller pools above it! I am an avid trail runner and hiker and was so impressed with the quality and beauty of the trails on the property! It turned our weekend into a wonderful vacation. We will definitely return! The owners were also very nice and incredibly accommodating! Thank you!

Fill up your senses

The pictures tell most of the story, but not all. This charming guest house offers views for tens of miles, and if you hike up to the peak behind the house, you can see the Pacific. The hike out from the outdoor living space is so cool, The multi level pools the fall from the top to the main pool are so peaceful and serene. The views from the huge outdoor patio area are just amazing. Watching the sunset followed by stargazing on lounges filled up our senses in the best way. Our host Mike was top shelf and was very accommodating. If you’re looking for a few nights away from the bustle and you want to get your hike o.n, this is your spot.

Little Oasis

This property is a little oasis up in the hills. It was very clean and well decorated. The pool and deck provides a beautiful view. Mike is very attentive and the nicest guy. He is very responsive and was so kind to let me borrow his wife’s curling iron since I forgot mine. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The views are priceless, lots of private hiking trails for you to enjoy. Relaxing and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to town if you want to explore. Totally recommend and our host was very kind and easy to communicate with. Would stay here again.
