Charming Temecula cabin
This is a charming old log cabin on the outskirts of Temecula valley. We had a lovely time visiting wineries but then coming back to this secluded cabin. Coffee on porch in morning, wine and games in evening! Troy was very accommodating with check in and walk through!

LOVE THIS PLACE, PERFECT GETAWAY!
My wife and I could not be more happy. The cabin is very cute and has everything you need (tv, dvd player, coffee maker, pots, cups, etc). The beds are comfortable and the loft upstairs is huge, so it feels like a large space. Everything is very clean. There is a great porch to have your morning cup of coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. Troy was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. It's about a mile from where the wineries are - 15 minutes from Old Town. We used Uber to get around and it was never more than a few minutes away. I cannot recommend it more if you are looking for a relaxing get away! We are so happy we stayed here. Thank you Troy!

If you think mice are cute and cuddly, this is your place.
The cabin appeared to be very clean and we were pleasantly surprised upon arrival. Pulling back the blankets, my friend ignored the hard, black droppings that were in her sheets. Maybe it was dirt... It wasn't until we went to bed the first night that I had a mouse run across my face. When I came flying out of my room, my friend came out and told me she could hear mice in her purse eating her Starbucks coffee cake. We messaged the owner the next morning and he NEVER responded. I guess he forgot to tell us this was a pet friendly place. We tried hard to find a a hotel, but everything was booked. Night two was spent listening to the mice running around, praying they wouldn't crawl in bed with us. It's hard to justify spending several hundreds of dollars a night when you are in a place that is infested with mice.

Amazing Log Cabin!
The cabin was a perfect get away for me and my wife. It was such a pleasure to stay in this lovely cabin rather than a hotel. The cabin was very clean and spacious. We felt right at home. The owner provided quick responses to any questions we had. I am not the best at technology, so it was great that he was willing to walk me through how to use the television in the loft. We were able to visit some of the local wineries, and then come back to enjoy a home-cooked meal in the kitchen… such a plus to have the comforts of home! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch watching the sunrise and taking in the amazing views! The cabin and property are gorgeous and very peaceful. If you are looking for a clean place for some rest and relaxation, look no further! It was such a treat to stay in a calming environment with incredible views. We can’t wait to stay here again!!

Excellent Little Cabin on a Hill
What a great view, and quiet, with a nice breeze!The cabin is just what is advertised. It is very sweet, very cozy, a nice place to get away. It is out among the vineyards up on a hill shaded by pine trees.Troy was great. He returned my calls immediately and answered my questions. It is a perfect place for a couple or a family. I noticed girls' get-aways were big in the guest book, as well.

Hidden paradise
My husband and I celebrated 18 years of marriage here in Temecula this weekend. We are from Vegas but not into the crazy night life. This provided us the seclusion we were looking for, escaping the hustle of our everyday city life but with all the wineries within a 5-10min drive. We really enjoyed this little piece of quiet paradise! We sipped coffee and mimosas every morning on the porch watching the wildlife and hearing the rooster crow in the far off distance. It really was a lovely and memorable weekend for us! Thank you. (Wish I could submit pictures because the ones shown really don’t do it justice.).

Charming until the power goes off!
A cozy cabin with only one close neighbor. Guests should know that the cabin has well water with an electric pump, so if the electricity goes out (as it did for us on our last morning) there is no water as well as no light or heat. Since this is a log cabin, with an all-wood interior, it can be very dark inside without lights, and no water prevents flushing the toilet; this was a major inconvenience with four adults and one teen. While the stove is propane, it has electric ignition and thus we were unable to cook breakfast. While the VRBO web site says the owner “usually responds within 2 days,” we found that not to be the case. A message sent through VRBO 4 days before our arrival requesting early check-in was never answered (we did get the early check-in when we arrived) and another VRBO message send the day of our departure was not answered for 3 days until we telephoned and asked him to check the message and respond. With no toilet capability on our last morning, we were forced to leave early to breakfast and use a restroom elsewhere. We requested an adjustment to the rent for all the inconveniences but the owner declined. While not required, providing some adjustment would show that the owner cares about his guests having a pleasant experience while at his property.
