Bonsall, California
This expansive private retreat house sits on top of a view of the gorgeous San Luis Rey Valley. Surrounded by horse ranches and wine country, the views take you far away. The property is a working organic flower, fruit, vegetable, +nut farm. The retreat house is open and airy with fresh perspective. The building of this house was completed by the artist owner in 2021. Inspired by natural elements, this home is designed to create a feeling of bringing the outside in.
The house was beautiful, I will say it was a bit dirty with a lot of spider webs and spiders in the house. However the house was peaceful with a beautiful view. I had a death in the family the morning of my booking and I reached out to see if the owner would show sympathy but I was basically forced to keep the reservation. I understand policy but it is at the owners discretion and it would have been nice to see someone just being human in a situation like that. Overall I rate it a 3 after everything.
Nice little house with a view. My wife and I enjoyed the fireplace and couch.
The pictures of the property do not do it justice!! It is absolutely stunning and was the perfect place to escape to for a romantic evening. The property is very private, but still accessible enough to nearby places. Shelley was the most accommodating host and made our stay great! She gives great suggestions on where to go in the area and offers different classes near and on the property. We even opted for a private Pilates class with her our next morning. We will be returning for more private sessions with her! Would definitely recommend staying here!
Very nice, high quality property. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!
The cottage is beautiful and artistically designed with an incredible view. Shelley was a kind and generous host.
Messaged the hosts about some kitchen items and they responded promptly. We had such an amazing time here. The view is amazing. And it's so quiet. Couch is comfy, with enough blankets to go around to be comfy as possible. The bed is even more comfortable. Definitely a great getaway for my girlfriend and I. Just what we needed. Would definitely come back. And 100% would recommend.
Unfortunately, we have been burdened with the blessing of two beautiful children. As such, finding a moment's reprieve is something of an exhausting undertaking, with our minds always a little preoccupied with what our cherubic offspring are doing without us. After mere moments at Chateau de Shelley, those preoccupations flittered away and we found a lovely sense of peace, even if it only lasted for an overnight stay. The amenities were wonderful and our hosts were very accommodating and thoughtful, with personalized recommendations and groceries. We are very fortunate to have stayed here and are eager to do so again-- SOON!
