A sweet and perfect cottage! We had looked into overpriced hotels in Temecula for a wedding but ultimately decided to stay here and so glad we did! It's very private and charming and the host thought of all the touches to make our stay great.
Margot is a phenomenal host. The space is just what we were looking for. The grounds of her property were a sight to see. One of the most beautiful gardens we have seen. We highly recommend her space and look forward to returning.
Margo couldn’t have been a more delightful host. The property was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your dogs are all sweethearts and our wonderful welcoming committee.
We stayed at Margaret’s place for a wedding, it was absolutely perfect! Small and manageable, full kitchen, and a very safe gated location. Nice bathroom products to boot. Great stay, we hope to be back!
The cottage was super cute and comfy. We had a very short stay but it was very easy to find, check in and check out. The cottage has all you need to have a comfy, quiet getaway.
Tucked away in a safe & secluded location yet within driving distance to winery/wedding venue, we enjoyed this cute, clean & peaceful environment full of many amenities during our brief stay.
We enjoyed our stay and would return if we are ever back in Fallbrook. Comfy bed and spacious cottage. We loved meeting Ranger and another of the pups. Well appointed kitchen and close to Fallbrook town center. Easy check in and out too.
