If your looking for a quiet little hideaway amongst the hustle and bustle of San Diego. This is it.

The owner is on site and a wonderful lady you might see her out walking her dog or keeping this property a magnificent fairy tale garden there are numerous hidden seating areas and the veiw of the mountains poolside are pretty great.

Far better than anticipated

I can't recommend this location enough. It's close to San Diego and Temecula, it's gorgeous, the owner is super nice. My spouse and I felt immediately at home. The only noise was birds and the occasional helicopter. Super peaceful, and stores and restaurants a short 10m drive away. Absolutely lovely.

PSC temporary lodging

The place worked great for us (me, wife, 18 son). We didn’t have time to vacation as we were looking for a house and cars after returning from several years in Japan. The climate is great and the owners dog “Rose” is a friend to all. This was much better than a hotel. Thanks Sandy.

Beautiful and Magical Getaway

It was easy to settle in and to navigate the property, the area and the multiple other cities and now with min a 50-mile radius. The hostess is a creative, kind, energetic lady who works tirelessly to maintain an amazing property and to present the hilighta of the community and nearby towns. She even took us on 2 lovely tours and treated us to lunch. The only downside was that the pool is not heated and we.stayed too early in the year for it to be useable. The pool was a real bonus to me in booking this venue. However, I should not have assumed. Over all, a truly lovely space and perfect for honeymooners!

Cottage living

We spent 2 nights and enjoyed our stay. There were several paths to walk with beautiful views. Also, many areas where you could sit. The outside was festive with lights hung all around. It was too cold to swim but would be an ideal location for the summer. We would definitely return.

Nice getaway

Sandra is extremely accommodating and allowed us to drop off food prior to check-in. We love to cook, but, I would say that pots and pans definitely need to be upgraded. Absolutely beautiful scenery, so make sure to take some amazing pictures. You really don't need to leave the home, since the property is 2.7 acres. I definetly recommend the stay.

HORRIBLE and Uncomfortable

I do not even know where to start. I booked this getaway to be alone with my dog to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of my city on my birthday/valentine weekend. The host was very nice and responsive at first. I had booked 3 nights from Friday to Monday. I was honestly really needing this getaway and looked forward to it. I arrived around 8:30 pm on Friday. The weather was freezing and it was rainy. The place was cold. Sandra showed me around and explained to me the rules of the stay. She was very specific about not leaving the heater on during the night and other important information. The place is a little outdated but ok. She has many rules to be followed. However, she does not like you to turn on the heater and even lowered the hot water temperature. My stayed was HORRIBLE as I was freezing all night and couldn't even take a warm shower to warm up. She has one tiny, cheap single heater that is not even enough to warm up the bathroom. I was so uncomfortable, cold, and unable to do anything about it in the middle of the night that I decided to get out of there as early as I could. I was not able to rest all night due to the cold weather and lack of hot water. I was up most of the night so I decided to get up at 6am and got out of there the next morning. I informed Sandra that due to the inconvenience of not having hot water or heating I was not able to stay there any longer. She apologized and insisted that I should have told her. However, this would mean that I would have woken her up any where between 1-5am. As a guest I did not feel comfortable going out there in the middle of the morning to knock on her door. Hot water and heating are essential and a host should provide them without refraining from what this could cost. She emailed me apologizing and say she would refund me the two nights I did not use. However, she has now had a change of heart and is refusing to do so. She claims that her policy does not allow for refunds. I completely understand this should this had been a problem I had cause or I decided to not use my stay for other reasons. I feel it is the responsibility of the host to make sure that their guests have the basic essentials for a comfortable stay. This was an issue caused by the host and now she refuses to offer me a refund for the two nights. I was kind enough to accept two nights when in reality she should be refunding me for the entire stay as my night was horrible due to her being so cheap.

Birthday get away

Sandra (owner) has a fab home in one of my favorite places, Fallbrook. She is quite an artist as shown all over her beautiful home in her own artwork. I hosted my 75th birthday party there and everyone in the party thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the wonderful views from the backyard. The house is set high in one of the lovely hill/valley areas. We had various family members and friends stay throughout the week with rave reviews. It was an exceptionally hot week, but thankfully Sandra has an excellent a/c system and we were always comfortable. We had our two fur babies with us and the yard worked very well.

A perfectly wonderful week!

We spent a wonderful week in this cozy, quiet, apartment surrounded by beautiful flowers and walking paths. We have never rented a more secluded and private place, yet one which was so easy to get to. Sandra had the place stocked with everything a person could possibly want, and everything worked perfectly. We heartily recommend this place to anyone looking for a really peaceful and private rental.

In a word.......HOMEY

In our opinion this is one of the best VRBO's out there. We felt completely welcome and relaxed. The property has that "country, laid back" feel and is kept really clean and functional. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed to simulate a home. Truly is your "home away from home". The bed is so comfortable it's hard to get out of! Oh yeah, the house is very spacious too. Sandra will accommodate your every need and is really nice. The mint's next to the bed, flower in a vase in the bathroom and the little "Ben & Jerry's" ice cream in the freezer were all nice touches. We will be staying here again and look forward to that very much. It is one of Fallbrook's greatest secrets. We recommend this guest cottage highly. We give it and Sandra both 5 stars! Even though it is attached to the main house it is very private and comfortable. Even our dog's felt at home! We are so thankful to have found it. Thank you Sandra for your consideration and hospitality. See you again really soon!
