Nice stay close to all the wineries.
Overall we had a good stay at the Cottage at Peppertree Lane Ranch. The photos accurately depicted the actual property. The home was very clean and well appointed. There was a very good supply of condiments, coffee, etc that minimized the need for purchasing these items. We were greeted with a welcome note and a nice bottle of local wine! There was a very detailed binder of information including recommendations on wineries and restaurants. We liked the location since it was somewhat secluded/private but close to all the wineries. It's about a 15 minute drive to town for shopping, food, etc. which wasn't a big deal. We would have given the property a five star rating (which is hard to achieve by our standards) except for a few relatively small details. There was a lot of rain in the area before our arrival which created a very muddy and rutted road to get to the property since it was accessed by a non-paved road. Not the owner's fault but something to keep in mind. The living room furniture wasn't exactly comfortable. The couch was very low on the back and the one other chair wasn't great. Could have used another chair in that area as well. I'm not sure if it was due to all the rain but there was a roof leak in the second bedroom that just happened to leak on to some items we had set on the dresser. Something for the owner's to address (I think the problem is along one side of the dormer above the second bedroom). We would stay here again all things considered.

One of the nicest rentals we've ever stayed in
Property is immaculate, extremely well-stocked with many personal and thoughtful touches, kitchen items are plentiful and labeled, plenty of towels and extra blankets, really appreciated the bottled water, coffee, wine, instruction notes throughout, easy to use thermostat and speaker system, beautiful views from the property, zero complaints. Coffee on the porch watching the hot air balloons in the morning was so peaceful! Perhaps one small suggestion would be to upgrade the couch because it is not very comfortable to sit and watch a movie on. We also could not use the fireplace as it was being repaired but it did not put a damper on our trip at all. We can't wait to come back to this property!

Great Experience!
This was one of the best experiences we have had. The pics don’t do the cottage justice, it was awesome, clean and both rooms were equally sized which is great for 2 couples. The location was perfect 5 minutes to countless vineyards and about 15 mins to old town. The cottage was stocked with coffee, snacks, and pretty much anything we needed. The hosts were so friendly and communicative. Check in and check out was simple and they even gave us some ideas for wineries etc. We would stay here again for sure.

Perfect weekend!
Shawn and Shakeh were excellent hosts. It began with amazing wine country recommendations they provided before our arrival. We were able to experience the Uys family winery tour/tasting. It was so personal and a memory we'll never forget! The arrival at the home was seamless. Clean, private, stocked with all the necessities (coffee, snacks, sparkling waters, even welcomed with a beautiful bottle of wine from their neighboring winery)! The 2 nights spent out at horse ring made our trip. Fire pit (lovely wood provided), corn hole, endless games and entertainment. We were blown away by the whole experience, and recommend it to everyone!

Very much enjoyed the property and Cottage.

Short drive to many other wineries in the area.

Amazing property
We have stayed at countless properties all over the world and they got it right in every way. It was well appointed with thoughtful surprises. ( drinks & snacks already stocked in the fridge & in the kitchen). Thoughtful Bathroom amenities were on pair with a 5 star hotel. Games, bbq charcoal, firewood are among many additions that made it so easy to stay at the property without spending hours shopping for resources. House is very clean and comfortable, location was perfect. So glad we stayed and would definitely go again. Highly recommend

Great! Peppertree Lane Ranch
Well, we stayed in the "cottage" portion of the property and we loved it! It is really in a good location-- close to wineries in all directions both walking and driving. About 20 mins to the town by car. The property was fairly private, sharing the land area with another VRBO house on the same Ranch. Outside, you are surrounded by vines and horse arenas/stables/etc. Plenty of room on the property to feel the space and the owners have made the space available and accessible. The cottage has a front porch and a back patio and both have plenty of seating. The property and area around the cottage is a granite base, so it is a little messy--especially in the rain (we had a couple of rain rest days). There is a large garage that is also available for use. The property is gated so we felt very safe. The cottage is a 2 bdrm/2ba property and stocked very well with the "staples" of everything in the Kitchen and Baths. The instruction of how to run the property are crisp and clear leaving you with no doubt about how to handle things. All the utilities worked fine. The only thing that could use improvement is the seating arrangement in the main room. The low back sofa is not comfortable for sitting more than a few minutes. But while on vacation, who sits in the living room? Well, we got rained out, so we did. So we know. We felt comfortable and safe! Realistically, we enjoyed this property and would love to stay again!

Perfect girls trip location
The entire experience was amazing! The cottage was comfortable and beautifully equipt with everything we could/would need: snacks, water, toiletries, and even wine! The location was perfect for everything we did including a wine tour, hot air balloon ride, and Old Town Temecula. Definitely do the winery walking trail to the 3 closest wineries. The grounds were so quiet and peaceful. We had the best time!!

5-Star Ranch Retreat
All the 5-star reviews were spot on -- Peppertree over-delivered on our expectations! We stayed in the cottage, which had everything we needed for a long-weekend away. It was a great space equipped with all the basics, yet bonuses like snacks, games, bottle of wine, bottled water and wood for the fireplace. The property is also amazing. It borders the walking trail to a handful of wineries. We especially like Lorenzi which is right down the road. Can't recommend enough!

Spectacular Sipping
We had a wonderful time at Peppertree Ranch. The Cottage is located right in the middle of the wine loop and has a beautiful walking trail leading to wineries. The house was thoughtfully decorated and cozy. Our highlight was having a bonfire and making s’mores at the firepit on property. Would highly recommend for someone wanting to spend a weekend in Temecula!

Peace and quiet on Beautiful property
If your looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway amidst the Temecula vineyards then this is the place for you. The cottage is bordered by vineyards and offers a beautiful setting to enjoy a getaway for couples or families. In the morning we were able to literally look out our bedroom window and watch the colorful air balloons rise into the sky. I’ve had the good fortune of staying at some of the nicest VRBO homes across the country and I can honestly say I’ve never seen such a well-stocked property. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Snacks,water,juices, coffee, even medical emergency supplies, flashlights, and umbrellas. The hosts also left us a nice bottle of wine to enjoy. Check-in was a breeze and all the instructions for cottage we’re clear. Looking forward to return with my family.

Hands down the best rental experience I've ever had, the property is stunning, the grounds were immaculate and the attention to detail as far as amenities was astounding.

Why they chose this property

From the moment we walked in to Peppertree Lane Ranch, we were mesmerized by the rustic beauty, the open spaces with nooks and crannies and special touches, the location in the heart of Wine Country, and the calming serenity of the property. The Cottage provides the cleanliness and amenities you'd expect from a fine resort along with the space and privacy of your own resort home -- all situated on seven acres of gated outdoor area for your enjoyment. The Cottage also features a private outdoor area with a park-style grill, picnic table, hammock, bocce court and cornhole boards for relaxing, unwinding, and enjoying time together.

What makes this property unique

Access to seven-plus acres and adjacent to vineyard walking trails that lead to wineries. Each morning, weather-permitting, the skies around the Ranch are filled with hot-air balloons. During the day, the ranch is vibrant with trees, flowers and wildlife -- a great respite for birdwatchers. In the evenings, soft lights illuminate the property, setting the stage for evening strolls, late dinners and owl-watching.
