The Cottage Haven - Nestled In The Heart Of Wine Country And Horse Country

Perfect, private get-a-way for 2 or small group, truly in the heart of wine country. Our Cottage was featured on FYI's Tiny House Hunting- season 3, episode 8! This property is surrounded by the wine country trail, and just down the road from South Coast Winery. Also down the road, is the popular horse country, including the soccer and polo fields at Galway downs.

The Temecula wine country has been a growing destination vacation for horse lovers, wine tasters, weddings, hot air balloon enthusiasts as well as cyclists. And even if you don't enjoy any of these things, the open countryside is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of city living.

The Cottage Haven is a darling guest house on our 5 acre ranch with it's own private entrance. Our family stays busy in the main house but you will have your privacy away from the main house in the cottage. Modern cottage decor, full kitchen, and the sound of whispering pines are just a few of the amenities you will enjoy. In the upstairs loft, your friends or children can enjoy the treetop views from the 2 twin beds. (Please note: the stairs to the loft are attic stairs-See photo)

Enjoy a picnic on your own private lawn or practice your soccer skills on the front soccer field/lawn. Sit by the shared pool with a glass of wine and a good book and enjoy the quiet countryside and the sound of the breeze blowing through the huge pine trees that surround you.

Horse lovers can pull your trailer on the property and coral their horses in our 16x30 feet horse pen with shade. You will also meet our labradoodle family members that roam the ranch as well.

We moved our family to this wine country property over 12 years ago from Orange County and have never regretted it! We love the beautiful landscape out here and the peaceful and starry nights. And even though we are in the country, we are literally 5 minutes to Ralph's, Sprouts Market, Baron's, Starbucks, Great Harvest, Corner Bakery, Best Buy, Big 5 and Super Walmart!

Even though this cottage has a full kitchen, we would love to recommend delicious places to eat including restaurants at the local wineries...We've tried them all!

Beautiful retreat
My sister and I stayed at this property for a 6 day get away and we loved it. It was so peaceful, beautiful, and pleasant. We slept so good in the master bed! The cottage is decorated impeccably and all the amenities make you feel like home. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings which was the perfect way to end the day. We loved the Christmas decorations too.

Cottage stay in Temecula
We found the cottage to be clean and well decorated. Bed was comfortable. We were close to all the wineries. Our only complaint would be, on our last day, the cleaner was waiting outside the cottage an hour prior to check out time.

We really enjoyed this cottage and beautiful property! The details of the home were so cute and cozy! My 3 year old son just loved how inviting the outdoor solace was for exploring nature! We enjoyed swimming and the pretty views. The family who lives in the main home is so nice! We would definitely recommend this stay to anyone!

Awesome location, great property, fantastic hosts
The Cottage Haven is exactly like it looks in the pictures. Joe and Shari are EXCELLENT hosts. Communication with them before and during our stay was excellent. The pool and grounds were very well maintained and gave us a sense of calm and relaxation with lots of space and different spots to kick back around the pool. Beds and furniture were very comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The location is about a 10 minute Uber ride to downtown/old town Temecula. It is less than 5 minutes to some great wineries. My wife and I had been to Napa on a wine trip and were not sure what to expect with Temecula. We will most definitely be back. I would absolutely recommend staying at this property if you are making a visit to the area with a small group or as a couple.

Beautiful cottage.
Beautiful cottage. A few things to help improve would be to have wash cloths for showering, better toilet paper. Also I would suggest blowing off the entry points to cottage to keep debris from entering and for overall aesthetics. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

A chance to wine
This is a very cozy little cottage. The surroundings are private and tranquil but shops/wineries/dining and the Heritage Rose Garden are all within easy driving distance.a Would reintegrate as noted in the listing that the stairs to the second floor sleeping area are indeed attic stairs. They are steep and shallow with only one hand rail so carrying luggage to the room is tricky if like us, you are seniors. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful. My friend and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Really, Temecula Valley is a hidden gem.

Girls Holiday get away
We loved our stay at the cottage. Joe and Shari were great hosts and checked in with us when we arrived and throughout the weekend. The cottage looks as if it is professionally decorated and looked very festive with holiday decor. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit with a cup of coffee in the morning and at night the hot tub was nice after wine tasting. This spot is the perfect location to stay if doing a wine tasting tour and an easy Uber ride back at night.

Four female friends out for a long weekend getaway and wine drinking! This cottage had everything we needed, was a super clean and stylish! Our hosts, Joe and Shari, were quick to respond to questions and gave us great restaurant and happening recommendations. Beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was divine! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and close to the wineries so we could Uber without a huge expense! Absolutely would recommend and would definitely return here! Only one bathroom so be prepared to share if there are more than two of you!

I came for a wedding at a nearby winery. Not only was the location perfect, the little bungalow was the perfect place for me to stay. It was immaculate and had everything I needed for my two nights. The hosts were amazing at communication and making sure everything was there that I needed. I would surely come and stay at this again. They are amazing Hosts on an amazing property. I’m very grateful for my stay, thank you I want to come back

Girls Winery Getaway
3 girlfriends came to Temecula to wine taste and see a concert at South Coast Winery. The cottage was as described but also exceeded expectations. Gorgeous property and wonderful hosts! We arrived early and the hosts allowed to access the cottage early. We were able to use the beautiful pool and met Shari (the owner) who was super nice and even gave us a bottle of their family wine! Everything was clean and even supplied a can of bug repellent for our use. We will definitely come back to the Cottage Haven!

Delightful Oasis
Cottage Haven lives up to it’s name. Comfy, cozy, and quite chic . . This cottage offers everything one would want as an escape into wine country. Shari and Joe are generous hosts and clearly, an engaging couple that warmly welcomes guests to enjoy all the beauty that surrounds their stunning home and magnificent grounds.The cottage is well equipped to unwind and relax after a day of touring the countryside and stopping along the way to select some amazing spirits. Shari was so gracious and spent time chatting with us each day. For doodle lovers, be prepared for some furry, fluffy love. Such a great experience. We want to visit again and again. ☺️☺️ Linda and Tom, Annapolis Maryland

Cute little cottage.
This is a cute cottage and great location. Owners very responsive. Very glad to have access to the pool/patio to lounge in as this is a small place. This is a better place for a long weekend than an extended stay. If you are coming for the wine country, be sure to check out the online SIP Passport!

Lovely country stay
We were 6 miles from the bustle of Temecula, a welcome retreat during a family wedding! The beds are super comfortable, everything was perfect! The loft is bright and sunny with great views of early morning balloon launches. Unless you want to sleep. Then I recommend two layers of lawn leaf bags, the window is the bag size. BYO bags and masking tape. This worked perfectly for us and we would love to return!
