Guest house in Fallbrook

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 322 reviews

Remote, Lake View Guest House

Do you need an escape from home? Our quaint one room studio cottage is located in our avocado grove with great beautiful views in the hills of De Luz. It has a king size bed, 3/4 bath, kitchenette with 10 cu ft fridge and stove (but no oven), gas BBQ, dining area and private deck ~ it sleeps up to two people. The cottage has it's own entrance and driveway just past the main drive. As you relax on the deck or from the house you will enjoy the panoramic views and a view of the lake. The cozy cottage is approx. 700 sq ft and is adjacent to our home on the property. We have "natural AC" (i.e. no AC but fans and lots of windows and doors). Also included is satellite TV and Wifi, and a continental breakfast usually consisting of bread for toast, fruits, coffee and tea. The cottage is a great destination for a "get away from it all" retreat, for hikers and for cyclists and motorcyclists that want to enjoy the back country roads and vistas. You will enjoy the gorgeous drive to our cottage with the windy, narrow tree lined roads. The Temecula farmers market is a popular destination on Saturdays, and Temecula has a fabulous selection of wineries for tastings and dining. In Fallbrook, there are a variety of great restaurants, cute shops including a retro candy store,and a popular art gallery as well. We are located close to the Santa Margarita River Trail which is a 6 mile loop trail located near Fallbrook, California that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is used for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. It is accessible year-round. The Santa Rosa Plateau is another fantastic hiking spot, with vernal pools and gorgeous rolling hills and panoramic views. We are located 7.5 miles (15 mins) from Fallbrook and we are 25 minutes from Temecula, and 45 - 50 minutes from Oceanside. In addition, we are also approx 1 hour from Downtown San Diego and the SD airport. Just an FYI, we are 15 minutes from the closest store in Fallbrook, and the roads to get here as mentioned before are windy but lovely. We also have 2 sweet indoor/outdoor kitties that might stop by for a visit but we do not allow them in the guesthouse. Just to note, living in a rural area we share our property with the local critters that pass through such as coyotes, raccoons, etc. In additions to the furry critters, we also have the insect type. We try not to use pesticides so you potentially could see a bug now and again. Note: due to the coronavirus, we are taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces between reservations and at least a 3-day hiatus between stays. Weekly rental possible.

Enchanting Artist Forest Retreat

LaniRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage—it was the perfect spot for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The location was ideal, with plenty of things to do nearby. We went wine tasting at Giracci Vineyards, enjoyed a delicious dinner at Xacalli Kitchen, and went hiking at Maple Springs! The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped. We especially loved that we could cook and bbq dinner outside during our stay. Communication with our host was seamless; she was incredibly sweet and responsive throughout our visit. Meeting her adorable Maltese was truly the highlight of the trip! Highly recommend this cottage; We’ll definitely be back!

Summit Cabin on the Rocks

KatRating, 5 stars2 days ago

One of the most beautiful views I’ve seen in America, as a tenured road-tripper. Private, quiet, magical! accessibility tips: If you are traveling with others it’s about 30 min of very steep and winding roads to get there, so prep dramamine for road sickness if needed. I was solo so I had no problems. Parking is at the bottom of a hill, entrance is also a steep 1-2 minute staircase climb if you are bringing multiple bags. I took a few trips to the car, might be tricky if you have a roller bag, but can’t I complain with that view!!!

Carly’s place was perfect. Clean, just like the photos maybe better, updated kitchen, tvs in every room, kids basket of toys and nice decor. It was a welcome retreat when we needed it. Comfortable master bed, cute little playground, nice pool, easy walk to Target. Nice woman living in the downstairs portion with the shared garage. You still have a private door upstairs and space. Highly recommend!!

I had a truly wonderful stay at this apartment! From the moment I arrived, everything was clean, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described. The space was cozy, well-equipped, and thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—quiet, safe, and close to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. Every detail, from the fresh linens to the smooth check-in process, showed how much care was put into making guests feel at ease. I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much 🙏

Had a very enjoyable time at Sandy's place for our 4 day stay in Mission Viejo. Everything went as smoothly as we had hoped, especially since our arrival was delayed until after midnight. The kitchen was well-stocked (thanks for the coffee and tea) and everything was very convenient.
