Good spot in the middle of wine country
We're Temecula regulars. We visit 5-6 times per year and have been for the last 7 years, so we're very familiar with the area and VRBO options.
Location is a little off the beaten path, but still close to all the wineries. You're about 10-12 mins from a grocery store, so plan accordingly. They have a lot of what you need to cook in, just add groceries.
The two things that would cause me pause in the future:
1) Sadly, the mattress and pillows left a lot to be desired. They've added a mattress topper, but it wasn't our favorite and we had to purchase pillows from Target because the supplied ones weren't supportive at all. Maybe bring your own????
2) The AC can't be set lower than 74 - they say it will cause the unit to freeze up. That said, if you're considering this space in the summer, it never cooled down in the day to under 77. At night, we were mostly okay with the ceiling fan on, but just hanging out in the afternoon, it was toasty...
The layout was great for our nearly week long stay and we never felt cramped. The deck is nice and they've done a good job creating some privacy near the hot tub, but it's not completely private, as you're below a main house and there's another cottage at the end of your driveway.
All in all, the location was perfect for our needs and there was just enough space for a longer stay, but I wouldn't want more people...
Would consider again, but only when cooler and if the mattress was upgraded...
