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.

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.

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 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.

Charming room with a vineyard view

We were on a road trip from Colorado and decided to stay a night Temecula. We had a beautiful room that overlooked the vineyard. I do not recommend their sister resort, south Coast. We took their shuttle there for dinner, and staff was not as friendly as all of the other wineries, and the wine was not as good.
