About this property

The Cottage Haven - Nestled In The Heart Of Wine Country And Horse Country

Perfect, private get-a-way for 2 or small group, truly in the heart of wine country. Our Cottage was featured on FYI's Tiny House Hunting- season 3, episode 8! This property is surrounded by the wine country trail, and just down the road from South Coast Winery. Also down the road, is the popular horse country, including the soccer and polo fields at Galway downs.

The Temecula wine country has been a growing destination vacation for horse lovers, wine tasters, weddings, hot air balloon enthusiasts as well as cyclists. And even if you don't enjoy any of these things, the open countryside is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of city living.

The Cottage Haven is a darling guest house on our 5 acre ranch with it's own private entrance. Our family stays busy in the main house but you will have your privacy away from the main house in the cottage. Modern cottage decor, full kitchen, and the sound of whispering pines are just a few of the amenities you will enjoy. In the upstairs loft, your friends or children can enjoy the treetop views from the 2 twin beds. (Please note: the stairs to the loft are attic stairs-See photo)

Enjoy a picnic on your own private lawn or practice your soccer skills on the front soccer field/lawn. Sit by the shared pool with a glass of wine and a good book and enjoy the quiet countryside and the sound of the breeze blowing through the huge pine trees that surround you.

Horse lovers can pull your trailer on the property and coral their horses in our 16x30 feet horse pen with shade. You will also meet our labradoodle family members that roam the ranch as well.

We moved our family to this wine country property over 12 years ago from Orange County and have never regretted it! We love the beautiful landscape out here and the peaceful and starry nights. And even though we are in the country, we are literally 5 minutes to Ralph's, Sprouts Market, Baron's, Starbucks, Great Harvest, Corner Bakery, Best Buy, Big 5 and Super Walmart!

Even though this cottage has a full kitchen, we would love to recommend delicious places to eat including restaurants at the local wineries...We've tried them all!

A chance to wine

This is a very cozy little cottage. The surroundings are private and tranquil but shops/wineries/dining and the Heritage Rose Garden are all within easy driving distance.a Would reintegrate as noted in the listing that the stairs to the second floor sleeping area are indeed attic stairs. They are steep and shallow with only one hand rail so carrying luggage to the room is tricky if like us, you are seniors. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful. My friend and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Really, Temecula Valley is a hidden gem.

Girls Holiday get away

We loved our stay at the cottage. Joe and Shari were great hosts and checked in with us when we arrived and throughout the weekend. The cottage looks as if it is professionally decorated and looked very festive with holiday decor. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit with a cup of coffee in the morning and at night the hot tub was nice after wine tasting. This spot is the perfect location to stay if doing a wine tasting tour and an easy Uber ride back at night.

Girls Getaway

Four female friends out for a long weekend getaway and wine drinking! This cottage had everything we needed, was a super clean and stylish! Our hosts, Joe and Shari, were quick to respond to questions and gave us great restaurant and happening recommendations. Beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was divine! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and close to the wineries so we could Uber without a huge expense! Absolutely would recommend and would definitely return here! Only one bathroom so be prepared to share if there are more than two of you!

Perfect spot

I came for a wedding at a nearby winery. Not only was the location perfect, the little bungalow was the perfect place for me to stay. It was immaculate and had everything I needed for my two nights. The hosts were amazing at communication and making sure everything was there that I needed. I would surely come and stay at this again. They are amazing Hosts on an amazing property. I’m very grateful for my stay, thank you I want to come back

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Shari Franklin

We moved from Orange County CA to the beautiful Temecula Valley in 2009. Temecula is such a great place to raise a family and we have loved our time here. There is so much to do and enjoy here: wineries, hot air balloons, casinos, wedding venues, nearby Lake Skinner and Vail Lake, horse back riding - you name it, we got it!

Why they chose this property

We chose our five acre ranch because it was situated close to shopping, restaurants and wineries, while feeling like you are out in the country. It also gives our labradoodles space to run and play! Tranquility, peace and quiet is what makes out property amazing!

What makes this property unique

It is so rare in California to find a brick, ranch style house - when we drove up to this property we knew it was for us! And then when we saw the cute cottage on the property and we fell in love with it. We love sharing our property with friends and family and are excited to share it with you.
