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.

Fabulous little cottage!
Clean, exactly as pictured, well stocked, and loved the garden space. My partner and I had breakfast out in the patio area and really enjoyed it. We also loved that one of the dogs stopped by to say hello! He/she was super sweet. Thanks so much for a fabulous stay, Margaret!!

Wedding weekend
Our daughter was getting married at Tivoli. This was close and perfect for the couple of days we were there. Did not get to enjoy surroundings as we were busy with all the events!
This property was all we expected. Relaxing and very quiet! We were able to come in and out as described. The unit was nice and clean. The only problem was the TV did not work but honestly we just need a time to unwind and disconnect. Worked out well! Thank you to our host/s.

One over night stay
We only stayed one night as My husband and I had a friends birthday party in Oceanside. The home is approx. half an hour drive time to Oceanside. The home is exactly as listed, very cozy and comfortable. The owner was lovely and her fur babies are welcoming. We wish we could have stayed longer. Close to the freeway and Temecula. We went wine tasting the next day, have a great time.

Perfect location !!!!
We stayed here while visiting friends and family from Valley Center, Carlsbad, Fallbrook, Temecula and Murrieta. This place is centrally located with easy access to the freeway. Her grounds are beautifully landscaped and the casita was cute and well suited for us. The casita is secluded from the rest of the estate in a quiet neighborhood. It couldn't be more than 5 miles from "Old Town Temecula", a great area to explore and get a bite to eat. This will be our first choice while staying in the area in the future. The owner reminded us that there is special prices during the week.

A Beautiful Place
A perfect, weekend escape from the city. Everything about this place is lovely and rejuvenating.
The Cactus Garden itself is exquisite. Multiple varieties of well tended plants and comfortable seating placed throughout to allow one to enjoy the sunset and stars at night.
The Cottage is well appointed with tasteful decor and one of the best beds ever in a booked stay. Linens and towels are top of the line, felt extremely luxuriated. No issues with my stay, will definitely return next time I go to San Diego area.
The property was unique and the dogs friendly...one day and they were our best friends. Owner was helpful when we needed her.

We had a wonderful experience in this well stocked, comfortable garden cottage. The surrounding gardens make this private cottage an even more amazing place to stay. We would definitely come back.

My fiancée and I rented this cottage for a wedding we attended in Fallbrook. It’s so cute, and the owner is a pleasure to talk to. Plus, all the dogs running around the property were such an added delight. Highly recommend for your next visit to Fallbrook!
