This is a lovely cottage and a significant upgrade from the local hotel accomodations. Check in was difficult because I arrived at night and it was hard to find the entrance to the cottage since there were no lights on. The bed was very comfortable and the room itself was very cute. The landscaping was fantastic
Property owner was awesome! Was a perfect cozy stay! I really enjoyed staying here!

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!
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.
