Girls Weekend Getaway

Review submitted: May 6, 2013   Date of arrival: March 22, 2013

We had an amazing stay at this property! Eva was wonderful to work with and would respond promptly to all my questions! The home was absolutely beautiful and just what we were looking for to celebrate our girls weekend! We all loved being able to gather together in the living room and dining areas and the view was incredible from the back patio! The rooms were comfortable and fit our needs perfectly! We loved the Spanish rustic influences throughout the home! The home is located within short driving distance from Old Town Temecula and a ton of the local wineries as well, which made it even more appealing! It would be a lovely location for a special occasion or our next family getaway! We hope to be back again soon! Thank you!!

First off let me say we haven't stayed here yet, but are in the process of booking the home for our September wedding. I just can't say enough about Eva and how wonderful she's been and prompt and easy going to answer all our questions and concerns and help us in visioning our wedding. The house is beautiful and the property itself is spectacular and delivers the most relaxing atmosphere. We can't wait to get married here!

The Perfect Girls Getaway Weekend

CB (San Diego, CA)
Review submitted: January 29, 2013   Date of arrival: January 26, 2013

Upon arrival, our group could not stop raving about how beautiful this house was. We were looking for a quick getaway and it was perfect for our group of 11 girls. The lot was huge and the house was clean and very well maintained. Whether it be to enjoy the local wineries or to just enjoy each other's company, this house was perfect. The owner was very easy to work with and answered all of my questions promptly. I would most definitely recommend this property to anyone. Most of the girls are already planning on bringing their families back as well. Such a gem and we were lucky to be able to stay here!

Great house for a getaway!

crackthelovecode (San Diego, CA)
Review submitted: January 28, 2013   Date of arrival: January 26, 2013

We recently had a girls weekend getaway at this beautiful home. It was everything we had hoped it would be. The house was wonderful and we felt so at home in it. The property was clean and well-maintained. Working with the owners was a quick and easy process. A handful of the girls are already looking into dates when they can return with their families. It's a great place to stay when you're going wine tasting at many of the great Temecula wineries. It's also a great place to stay when, like us, you just need a weekend to get away from things and enjoy each other's company. So glad we got a chance to stay here! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Girls Weekend

Girls Get Away (Corona, CA)
Review submitted: January 14, 2013   Date of arrival: January 4, 2013

I couldn't of ask for better. My daughter is renewing her vows due to her husband survial of cancer. So we rented this beautiful home out in beautiful country. Her grandfather died the day before we stay at the house. Waking up to the beauty and quite scenery was the best way to cry,laugh,memorize her grandfather as well as to plan the renewel of her vows. Everything we needed was there. From the sleeping arangements to everything that the home supplied for cooking etc. Very clean and and comfortable. Thanks to Eva's Family home we were able to enjoy a time of sorrow. Looking forward to a time we can go back. Thanks again for everything!!!!

A happy start to 2013

Sasha (Los Angeles, CA)
Review submitted: January 3, 2013   Date of arrival: December 30, 2012

A group of us just celebrated the New Year at this wonderful property. We had a great time, I only wish we could have stayed longer. The house is great and comfortably accommodates as many people as it states, though we were not quite that many. The views are spectacular and the house is fairly secluded and quite peaceful. It was pretty chilly during our stay but it would be even better once it warms up and you can comfortably sit outside and enjoy the scenery. We only wished it had a hot tub, that would have made it perfect. We were also a little disappointed not to have found the "costume box" described by several people in the guest book. I am only half serious =) Quite close to wineries, old town, and grocery stores. Overall a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Incredible Wedding Venue!

Kelli J. ()
Review submitted: December 23, 2012   Date of arrival: May 10, 2012

Words really cannot do justice to the amazing experience we had at this beautiful home. My husband and I were looking for a private Temecula wine country home to rent as a venue for our wedding. After visiting a few homes with small yards and little space for guests, we wanted to see something more removed. We found this listing and went to check out the house. It was exactly what we were looking for! The front yard overlooks a beautiful vineyard with an orange grove behind; perfect scenery as a backdrop for our ceremony. We transformed the backyard into a glowing reception area with a nighttime view of the whole wine country.

The house itself was so perfect for the wedding day, with a beautiful "bridal suite" upstairs for the girls and a large suite downstairs for the groom and all the men. Our families stayed the night after the ceremony to clean up and relax in the gorgeous, warm home. We were so thankful to Eva for being so accommodating and helpful throughout the booking process and our stay. We can't wait to book it again sometime for an anniversary!

Wonderful Wine Country Home

Suz (Prescott, AZ)
Review submitted: December 20, 2012   Date of arrival: November 30, 2012

Rented this home to be close to Ponte Winery for my daughters wedding; couldn't have been more perfect. Four couples stayed comfortably and still had room on pull out beds for 3 more people the night of the wedding. Everyone was happy with the home and surroundings (lots of "wows" from family that hadn't viewed the very accurate photos first). Close to all the winery's; would make a great get away for families or friends. Quiet, secluded location and the directions were perfect. Even had large closet for the wedding dress. Well maintained and clean; would recommend.

great place for an extended family get together during the thanksgiving holiday! the kitchen was well equipped so i didn't have a problem making dinner. lots of room inside so it didn't feel too crowded. and for family members who wanted to dine alfresco and/or soak up the sun, there was enough outdoor furniture to accommodate them. i liked the airy and clean lines of the living areas. the beds were very comfortable albeit just a tad high to get in and out of easily. everyone had a wonderful time and i would not hesitate to recommend this property. kudos to you eva for answering all and any questions i had in a timely manner.

Beautiful Temecula setting

PA traveler (harrisburg, PA, US)
Review submitted: December 2, 2012   Date of arrival: October 25, 2012

We stayed at this property with several family members for a wedding in Temecula. The house was spacious, comfortable and well designed to allow for privacy even with multiple families staying there together. The patio area was perfect in the morning to sit - you felt as if you were in the country rather than so close to the small city of Temecula. Plus, I left some personal belongings in a dresser and the owner was kind enough to figure out a way to gather the items and return them to me by mail. we would definitely return to the house if renting in Temecula again.

Montana Wedding

DR (Colstrip, MT)
Review submitted: November 10, 2012   Date of arrival: April 23, 2012

We came to Temecula for my daughter's wedding. When searching for a house to rent this one appealed to us because of its country location. The photos were accurate, but could not really describe how awesome this property is! It is a private location, and the patio provided an area to relax and enjoy the extraordinary views. When my daughters and I get together we love to cook. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining area was large enough to seat everyone. We bought fresh sea food from a local store and vegetables from a road side stand. So nice. The 2-year-old twin granddaughters had plenty of room to play both inside and out. This property allowed my family to gather, relax, and truly enjoy my daughter's California wedding.

Weekend In October 2012

DVC (So California)
Review submitted: October 22, 2012   Date of arrival: October 12, 2012

I would recommend this property to a friend or relative in a heart beat. We spent 3 days, arriving on a Friday and checking out on a Sunday. The house is very spacious, the bedrooms, and sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. The house has 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms which made it very accommodating for the 7 people staying. The house was clean and well maintained. The kitchen had all the utensils and cooking gadgets making it easy to cook. My experience went as planned with no problems. I was also reimbursed 100% for my deposit in a very timely manner and the owner and her assistance were extremely responsive to any of my questions.

30th Birthday Getaway

Purdy30 (Las Vegas, nv)
Review submitted: October 17, 2012   Date of arrival: September 21, 2012

4 couples drove from Las Vegas to celebrate my 30th birthday. The house exceeded our expectations, it truly is gorgeous, the views are breathtaking in front and back. We had no problem finding the location, using the facilities, or making ourselves at home. The two things I would recommend are provide better instructions on circulating the air flow downstairs and ziplock bags/aluminum foil in the kitchen. The couples who stayed downstairs melted, upstairs was perfect! I will definitely be making this rental a stop again in the near future! Thank you for making my birthday truly amazing.

Peaceful Location

Sandy (United States)
Review submitted: October 14, 2012   Date of arrival: August 28, 2012

Our daughter was getting married at Ponte Winery and our family was traveling from Colorado to attend this joyous event. We considered putting our 6 family members, including 2 grandmothers, into hotel rooms for 4 days which can be costly, and not very comfortable. A friend had used VRBO in another part of the country and recommended that we check out locations available in Temecula.

We came across this listing and felt it would be better to have everyone under one roof. The home and location are beautiful and very well kept. The house is large enough to spread out and have privacy, and yet cozy and welcoming for gatherings and meals together. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking and it was within minutes of Ponte. We had a wonderful time, and the whole process was made easy by the property owners. We most definitely will consider this home again when we return to the region. Thank you for a great staycation!!

Airy, cozy, tastefully decorated weekend home

Erin (United States)
Review submitted: June 12, 2012   Date of arrival: April 21, 2012

This is a beautiful home in a beautiful (and quiet) area. About a dozen women stayed overnight for a bachelorette party, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A lot of the other rental listings we looked at in the area seemed gaudy, but this home is very tastefully and comfortably furnished, and has a great combination of spaciousness and coziness. The central living room, which flows into the dining area and kitchen, is very open with high ceilings and a lot of windows; it was a great place for the whole group to gather and play games and just hang out. Bedrooms and bathrooms are also all very lovely and spacious, so there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out and put their luggage. Highly recommended!

Temecula Wonderland

Pat (San Diego CA)
Review submitted: April 20, 2012   Date of arrival: March 30, 2012

Our stay at this house worked out perfectly for our family. My daughter was married at the Ponte Winery that weekend and our family stayed here for a long weekend. It was so much nicer than staying at a hotel and was minutes from the winery and from other places of interest in the area. The views from the back of the house were awesome and watching the hot air balloons in the morning was a special treat. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We think anyone staying in Temecula will love this place.

My girlfriends and I had such a great weekend staying at this lovely home. We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful views each morning and enjoying a glass of wine each night watching the sunset. The home was so great for our group: had plenty of space, a great dining area to gather around, and a gorgeous kitchen! We also had a blast in the back game room! We will DEFINITELY come back to stay the next time we visit Temecula!

Hi Eva...
We are so sorry that we forgot to write what a wonderful and beautiful time we had in Temecula. There was 8 girls, unfortunately a few were unable to make it. We all celebrated our 50Th Birthday and had an amazing time. The home was perfect. We felt so at home and comfortable that we were sad to leave. We have decided to make this a yearly trip and look forward to staying at your beautiful breath taking home again. Much success to you.

Respectfully.

Just a note to say thank you for allowing us to use your lovely home this past weekend. It was perfect for all!! We enjoyed the balloons in the morning the wild life and the peaceful setting. The location was perfect for the wedding we attended. Sitting on the deck with our coffee in the morning taking in the view was delightful. The home was very clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needeed. Everything met and exceeded our needs. We also discovered the back entrance to the property which saved us much time. Again, thank you for your home.

Sheila (Irvine, CA)
Review submitted: January 6, 2012   Date of arrival: November 18, 2011

This was the perfect spot for our high school chick reunion. The home was clean, well stocked with dishes and newer appliances. For 6 ladies, it was very comfortable with 3 good-sized bathrooms and plenty of space to congregate. We took a Grapeline winery tour and our pick-up location was less than 5 minutes from the house. The only downside is the one unpaved road that must be taken to get to the house--it is pretty bumpy but that would not deter me from renting this home again for another get together.

Our daugther got married at a vineyard in Temecula two weeks ago. We rented this incredible home for the bridesmaids and special attendants to stay. It easily accomodated everyone! Besides the amazing views, the large table and living room were perfect for everyone to gather and share a meal and conversation Having a houe full of girls, the 3 bathrooms were a bonus when getting ready! We also enjoyed watching the balloons launch from the back deck with a mroning cup of coffee! The owners have done a wonderful job of furnishing this home with dishes, blankets, towels, and patio chairs that no one wanted to get out of! We couldn't have picked a better home...we all LOVED staying there. Thank you!

My family stayed at this home for three nights on a weekend in April that my son was married at a winery in Temecula. This home is so comfortable and spacious. Plenty of privacy and beautiful views that go on forever. We watched the hot air balloons early in the morning and listened to the wind blowing in the trees. Be sure to take your binoculars. I would definitely recommend staying at this home. There is a game room for the younger children at one end of the house and a quiet sitting area at the other end of the home. No traffic, no TV and no phone ringing. Ahhhhh, pure relaxation.

It is a beautiful spacious house for family gathering. The view from the house is magnificent. It's a nice house to relax. The air hockey is a blast for my children.The house is secluded in the wine country, however it's closed to town and wineries. The property is clean and well maintained. The owners, the Woodsmalls, are friendly and helpful. I recommend this property.

Review submitted: November 25, 2010   Date of arrival: November 20, 2010

The home was breathtaking from the moment you open the front door. It had everything you could possible need. Every room had it's own personal touch. The kitchen was equipped for entertaining and the dishes were beautiful. Due to the rainy weekend, we were able to enjoy a nice cozy warm fire. The kids room had a special touch with dress up clothes which was a big hit, along with the air hockey table. The views were spectacular, as I enjoyed a nice run in the morning next to the grapevines. The aroma flowing throughout the house was also a very special touch. We couldn't have been happier and can't wait to come back. We were sad to leave. Thank you Woodsmall Family, the house is superb!!

The pictures do not do justice. The views are amazing, the patio in the back and lawn in the front are equally gorgeous, and the open architecture + glass doors in the living area allow you to enjoy nature at all times. This is the place to stay if you are going to Temecula for the wine and/or if you want to get away from SoCal hustle and bustle. We only wished we had more time to enjoy. The house was very clean. We hope to be back. Thank you very much!
