    The property was beautiful and the cottage was clean. Parking was close and gated. I didn't realize this was a guest house on the owner's property. It is actually a converted garage but done very nicely.

    This place is nearly perfect and the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I booked it through Expedia in the information on check-in doesn’t translate over very well. The email I got said an access code, but I thought it was for the door not the gate. I thought it was the number, but you actually have to press pound at the gate. Also, the check-in instructions didn’t include which door to go through. Otherwise, it is such a lovely place and very peaceful.

    A sweet and perfect cottage! We had looked into overpriced hotels in Temecula for a wedding but ultimately decided to stay here and so glad we did! It's very private and charming and the host thought of all the touches to make our stay great.

    The Cactus Garden itself is exquisite. Multiple varieties of well tended plants and comfortable seating placed throughout to allow one to enjoy the sunset and stars at night. The Cottage is well appointed with tasteful decor and one of the best beds ever in a booked stay. Linens and towels are top of the line, felt extremely luxuriated. No issues with my stay, will definitely return next time I go to San Diego area.

    This is a lovely cottage and a significant upgrade from the local hotel accomodations. Check in was difficult because I arrived at night and it was hard to find the entrance to the cottage since there were no lights on. The bed was very comfortable and the room itself was very cute. The landscaping was fantastic

    We had an excellent 2 night stay in this cute little cottage. We came up for a Friday afternoon wedding and were able to check in a little early to freshen up and change beforehand. Thank goodness, because it was pouring down rain! Margaret quickly responded to our questions and gave a great winery recommendation. The house was exactly as pictured, and the location was perfect. Would definitely stay again, especially since we joined 2 wine clubs while we were up there!
