Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
Fallbrook is the rural ecotourism neighbor to the grand wine estates of Temecula. It offers family-operated establishments such as Fallbrook Winery, Monserate Winery, and the Vineyard at 1924. Good local restaurants in Fallbrook include Firehouse Que and Brew, Rainbow Oaks, Casa Estrella, Mariscos El Pacifico and Yumi Sushi. There are many nearby wedding and event venues, such as Grand Traditions, Fallbrook Estate and Los Willows. Golf courses in Fallbrook include the Golf Club of California, Pala Mesa and Rancho Monserate. Fallbrook has generally perfect weather year round. It is not as cold and foggy as the coast, but not as hot and dry as Temecula. Expect temperatures in the 60's - 80's nearly any time you visit. Thanks to North County microclimates, hotter or cooler temperatures are a quick drive away. Specialty plant nurseries are everywhere, because almost everything grows in Fallbrook. The home is 20 minutes from Temecula old town Front street and 30 minutes from the heart of Temecula wine country. It is also 30 minutes from the beach at Oceanside, and 40-50 minutes to Carlsbad, Encinitas, San Diego, and southern Orange County. Legoland is 35 minutes away, Disneyland is a little over one hour away. Hikes around Mount Palomar and Anza Borrego are also an easy day trip. This is the perfect base for a weeklong SoCal adventure. Our house is the last on a private road north of Fallbrook, overlooking the Santa Margarita River preserve. Enjoy complete privacy and solitude, night skies and wildlife. It is adjacent to the Santa Margarita river trail, which can be accessed directly by foot by heading down the road to the east. You can hike or mountain bike right outside your doorstep to this trail system. As described, while our venue is suitable for small events, it is not good for larger parties. We strictly limit events to under 50 and under 12 cars, due to lack of parking, fire hazards, delicate landscaping and impact on neighbors. Larger groups than this on camera will be evicted mid-stay by police if necessary! Please inquire if you are unsure.
Guest Access
The whole villa is yours to enjoy. Cleaning supplies and utilities are available in the laundry room pantry. Please use the pool control panel outside the master bathroom door—do not tamper with equipment behind the gray fence near the lanai, ask us for help!

Fallbrook, CA, United States
By car, although one can hike into the Santa Margarita trail system from the house by foot on on mountain bike. There are 3 parking spaces in the garage and spots for 3 vehicles immediately outside the garage. Please DO NOT block the driveway, which would impede access to house staff, emergency vehicles and yourself. If you park down the road near the propane tanks, please park on the flat grassy area and make sure large vehicles (garbage and propane trucks) have room to turn around; it is a public easement. Thank you!
