The rooms are clean and big, but the beds and pillows are not comfortable, the pool is not maintained well, the water filter by the pool is broken. and the food is not good. Ok place to stay if you don't find anything else in Temecula. I will say it’s expensive for what you get.

This was our first time staying here. I loved that it’s not your typical hotel with a lobby. The rooms are seperarted and they all face the grape fields. Felt very private. The room was spacious, clean, and very nice. Loved the huge bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Will definately be staying there again!

The most beautiful property within a vineyard. Our backyard had the most beautiful views with hot air balloons in the morning it felt like a dream. On a giant estate it didn’t feel like a hotel at all.

This property was stunning. The vineyard views outside your room and patio cannot be beat. The pool was lovely and heated. It was great parking right outside our bungalow, and the convienance to other wineries was great. However, it’s clear this property is understaffed. Every time we called the front desk ( allegedly staffed 24-7), it went unanswered. Twice we went to the office in person and there was a sign on the door saying be right back. Also, the poolside bar and cafe was only open for about 4 hours a day from 11:30-4, despite hours online saying it opened at 9. When I asked why, they said it was because they were delivering breakfast. I think hiring a few more staff would solve these problems. Overall I’d still recommend this property, but service and communication could have been better.

This had one of the most relaxing getaways we have ever had. The bungalow is so private and very spacious. Sitting on the patio in the middle of the vineyard is amazing. We couldn't have stayed at a better resort to celebrate our 37th Anniversary.
Vines right in front of our patio
The pool was pool was very clean and the food was good. We had the Italian sandwich.
A complimentary flight of the bubbly at the Carter Estate tasting room.
With only 21 duplex bungalows  there are only 42 individual units. And they are so spacious.
