WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a large luxury home in the countryside, built in 1987 and renovated in 2022. We maintain it lovingly, but it's not a brand-new hotel.

WHAT THAT MEANS:

• Expect character and beauty, not sanitized perfection
• Rural living: We have regular pest service, but you'll see occasional bugs (earwigs, ants), wildlife (coyotes, gophers).
• Fallbrook has nearly perfect weather year-round -- 60s-80s and usually sunny, but it can get chilly overnight. Due to the size of our pool and costs of propane we cannot simply give away extra pool heat.
• Pool service is twice a week, but there can be windblown debris or pollen in between service. This is normal and safe; we invite guests to skim the pool themselves if needed.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

+ Intimate weddings, bridal prep and vow renewals
+ Wine lovers escaping the crowds
+ Upscale bachelor & bachelorette parties
+ Families with teens or older kids who love to swim and explore
+ Quinceañeras & milestone celebrations
+ Multigenerational family reunions
+ SD/OC/LA urban escapes seeking rural peace and space
+ Military reunions & retreats
+ Friends who value architecture, privacy, and authenticity
+ Visitors from outside CA who the SoCal magic, not just the tourist traps

WHO THIS ISN'T FOR:

- Families expecting an 85°F pool without advance planning
- Large parties or noisy ragers
- Guests who need sanitized hotel perfection
- Anyone uncomfortable with rural living (bugs, wildlife, occasional maintenance issues)
- Groups expecting hotel-level service (no daily housekeeping, no front desk)

We were looking with my wife for a peaceful and beautiful place to celebrate our 10 years anniversary with some friends and family. And we really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place. Property was clean, pool is a great size to actually swim. We didn’t heat it, it was decent temperature and was great to combine with heated jacuzzi the way it is. Aaron was quick and helpful in communication. Thank you

This was a great property for a family get together (8 adults and 6 kids). The huge pool and spa was perfect for all of us to enjoy. We utilized the huge kitchen and the outdoor BBQ for all our meals (we have some great chefs in the family). The sunset views from the back yard were spectacular. Also, we were pleasantly surprised at the excellent wineries nearby. All in all, this property is highly recommended.

Beautiful Stay

This was the perfect home for our family during our daughter's wedding. The interior home is beautiful and well apointed with a very open floor plan and tons of natural lighting. The exterior is very nice as well but could use a little TLC mainly due to exposure. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the Host was extremely accomodating and very responsive. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect Weekend Stay

This property and the management were nothing short of perfect! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we would need for our 4 day stay. The host was responsive and great to work with, and we had the best time at the house. I will 100% stay at this same property when I return to the area in the future. Cannot recommend this house and the management enough!

Perfect Family Getaway – Beautiful Home & Amazing Pool! We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Fallbrook property! The house was spacious, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation. With 4 bedrooms, there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out and relax.The highlight for us was definitely the large swimming pool. My kids absolutely loved it and spent hours splashing around. The property itself is gorgeous, with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It truly felt like our own private retreat.The location was quiet and serene, yet close enough to everything we wanted to do in the area. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our trip. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

Mom’s 80th Birthday

From booking to the end of our stay Aaron was absolutely kind and responsive. Our dad passed away in March so we wanted a special 80th birthday for our mom surrounded by a small group of family and friends. The residence is absolutely as stunning as the pictures and description on VRBO. All a comodations were perfect and comfortable. Our guests were amazed at the gorgeous views. We would definitely highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, scenic place to celebrate a special event or just relax. Thank you Aaron for being such an amazing host!

Perfect place to sprawl out and connect!

Is the golf team we came to California to compete in practice. Because we were Minnesota team the weather was going to be far better than what we’ve experienced in Minnesota. Plus, we knew the course that we were seeking to spend the majority of our time in Temecula. We loved having a bed for everyone and a place to relax as well as the large kitchen to do many meals of cooking in morning breakfast. They clean space with a lot of window windows and an amazing view. Sadly, we didn’t get to enjoy the sowing pool due to cool weather in rain.

Family Wedding Weekend

Family gathered from all over the country at this beautiful house for a wedding at a nearby winery. Four bedrooms gave each family their own private space while the enormous kitchen, dining and family rooms were perfect gathering together. Our afternoons were spent enjoying the pool and sunshine. Outside were several vignettes, for reading, small get togethers or lunch with a view. Our time was just fantastic and much of it due to the house and property itself. Our host was an excellent communicator and checked on us throughout our stay. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

Fallbrook Wedding

My daughter and her bridesmaids loved sharing this stunning home before the wedding! Only 10 minutes from the wedding venue, Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens. Views are incredible and make for beautiful getting ready photos. One suggestion if using a shuttle to transport wedding party, the home is at the end of a long downhill road. It is possible to turn a large shuttle around but I know the shuttle company would appreciate that information ahead of time. Highly recommend!

Girls Getaway

I stayed the weekend at Aaron's chateau with my six girlfriends. We had an amazing time. The home is just as described in the listing. We spent mornings watching the sunrise over the hills and vineyards and spent some time lounging around the pool. Each bed was very comfortable and it was nice having four bathrooms for all of us ladies. The over stuffed bean bags came in handy for hanging in the living room. We utilized most ameneties, including the heated spa, indoor sound system and state of the art tv to project some games on. The large wine fridge was perfect for all our purchases! Aaron was very responsive as a host and even provided some local places to check out. We would absolutely stay again. It was a perfect weekend.

Family Reunion

I will start with the communication with the host Aaron. To say that communication with Aaron was easy and expedited would be an understatement. Aaron was so fast in replying that I was utterly shocked. He was an absolute professional. He had the assistance of a couple named Jason and Debbie who together were a perfect team to deal with. In regards to the house, it was our home base as we celebrated our family reunion. There were a few quirks, but nothing worth noting and most importantly all issues were resolved by having a very quick and pleasant line of communication with the host. I would recommend the home to anyone looking at it.
