Thank you so much for letting us stay in this comfortable and stylish home! We simply loved it! The kids have said several times, "we must come back here!" (all the way from Norway!) Best regards. Elizabeth K and Family.

We will return. Thank you! The house was wonderful. Beds were amazing – soft, but firm. Sounds of nature make us sleep great! Perfect pool, spa, TV – what a great place. We felt like MILLIONAIRES! Thanks again!

Good Morning, Just wanted to let you know that everyone enjoyed their stay at your Temecula properties. The homes and surrounding areas were beautiful. Carol and the people supporting her were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. With everything to do with the Wedding the stay seemed to go by in a blur so I think my wife and I will have to make another trip to the region in the future. We will certainly keep your houses on the radar and recommend them to any of our friends and relatives. Thanks!

Learn from my mistake.

Learn from my mistake and find another home to rent. The amenities were not what was promised and the owners are challenging at best to work with. Renting this house was the biggest mistake I made in planning my wedding in Temecula.

Owner response:The rental agreement clearly stated that parties would not be allowed. This was further acknowledged during conversations on the phone prior to the rental. The guest agreed that a party would not be held at our property, however she went against our agreement and held a large gathering there. The party caused damage to furnishings and extra cleaning costs were incurred. We tried our best to work with her (more than fairly), but she was not happy to be held responsible for the damage.

Exceeded all expectations – fantastic house, fantastic pool, fantastic weather, we had a great time!!! Hot air ballooning is a definite must, be prepared for an early start, but well worth it. We have all loved every minute of our stay and we’ll definitely return.

Fantastic place- Magical times

Guest: Wyoming Clan (Cheyenne, WY USA)
Date of Stay: 07/24/09 Review Submitted: 08/02/10

House was immaculate, more impressive than pictures, a beautiful place to stay and a very friendly community. The Michaels' were great to work with- directions excellent- Carol Michaels just terrific and helpful-Linens, furniture, dishes etc were all top notch. Hot air balloon rides and wine country were a must- also close to Seaworld, Zoo and ocean so much to do- It was my grandchildrens terrific playground they did not want to leave the house nor did the adults. We recommend it highly- hope to return- It was magical for all of us. The Wyoming Clan

Our home away from home!

Guest: Deshon (Inglewood, Ca.)
Date of Stay: 07/19/09 Review Submitted: 04/03/10

I think my title, pretty much says it all! If your family is looking for some place to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city, then this vacation rental is the idea "home away from home! It's perfect for reuniting your family or friends for a wonderful and relaxing time together. We were in Awe of the beautiful estate, not to mention the infiniti pool! The luxury and comfort of the entire home from front to back was absolutely breath-taking! The Micheals went over and beyond to make sure our vacation accomodations were available without any undue stress. We highly recommend this estate! It was more than we expected! The pictures are very good, however, they do not show just how beautiful this home is in its entirety!! We loved every minute and didn't want to leave!

Perfect stay for my bridal party!

My bridal party and I stayed here for a few days before my wedding at Ponte Winery. It was an amazing home and just gorgeous on the inside and out. It is closely located to all the major wineries on Rancho California Road and I would highly recommend it to any other bride who is looking for a place to stay with her girls!
